This impressive lighting and projection technique turns your wedding cake into a colourful, moving and modern age work of art.

They are great fun and look fantastic. As the technology is relatively new it is still uncommon to see them about making them very appealing to those who like to do things differently.

PLEASE NOTE

Since we published this blog piece we have received a number of enquiries for projection mapping wedding cakes, however we would like to remind you that we are a wedding band, not a cake or projection company. Therefore, could we please ask you not to enquire to us about these wonderful pieces of wedding brilliance.

Caroline & Brett Wedding at Magnolia Park

Huge congratulations to Caroline & Brett who held their wedding celebration at Magnolia Park, High Wycombe, and who booked us to provide their entertainment.

Bands have no better weddings to play than the ones with fun, friendly and up-for-it people. It makes for a great night all round when the crowd are ready to let their hair down. Thankfully, Caroline & Brett’s friends and family had this all in abundance.

Magnolia Park Country Club, High Wycombe

Magnolia Park Wedding Venue High WycombeCaroline & Brett held their wedding at the very cool Magnolia Park Country Club in the Hughenden Valley. The Country club is very easy to get to and  also idyllically set just outside of High Wycombe.

Magnolia Park is set in acres of beautiful grounds with lots of space for marquees and even fairgrounds!

It is the second time !daft! has had the pleasure of playing at Magnolia Park, something we will never tire of doing as the venue is such a pleasure to be at and the staff are always incredibly friendly and helpful. Big thanks to Greg for looking after the band so well!

Find out more about Magnolia Park here http://www.magnoliaparkwycombe.co.uk.

It was awesome and everybody loved it, it was fantastic!

What we provided

Caroline and Brett booked our Gold Package and enjoyed 2 x 60 min live sets along with our disco service.

Their wedding was booked in mid-2016 which ensured the date was free in our diary and secured it for them nice and early.

It also gave the Caroline and Brett lots of time to have all the necessary conversations with us to ensure we planned correctly for the event.

To The Future!

We’d like to say a heartfelt thanks to Caroline & Brett for booking us, we thoroughly enjoyed the wedding party and we hope to see you and your guests again soon!

Burnham Park Hall Festival 2017

Festival Fun in the Sun for all the family

The sun has set on this year’s Burnham Park Hall Festival, and oh my, what a success it was!

Only in its second year, the festival hosted 9 local bands throughout the day.

  • It’s a Swing Thing
  • Bitteroot
  • The PFJ
  • Dacoda
  • Anna Nightingale
  • D A W N
  • Dan Pryde
  • The Blarney Pilgrims
  • !daft!

In addition you could chill out in the hall’s secluded, sun-trap courtyard with a variety of acoustic soloists, duo and trios.

Thankfully, given the nature of the heat on the day, the festival has a food and drink angle to it too. For the peckish there was selection of food vendors including an incredible African street food stall.

For the thirsty, as most seemed to be, strangely, there were a range of Rebellion ales from the local Marlow Brewery and a perfectly-pitched Pimms & Prosecco tent for the ladies.

A Summer scorcher

The event basked in the ridiculous glory of the British summer peaking at around 32°C. For events like this it is nice to have a dry day, great to have a warm day but it was something else to have had a day like we had. I am not sure we will ever be that lucky again and it made all the difference.

Thousands Packed the Park

Going off the first year the attendance this year was through the roof. Estimates are that around 3500 people visited, many with children and most sticking around for most, if not all, of the day.

Festival goer Janice Young said:

“This was my first music festival and i had a fantastic time thank you to all the acts and the organisers and security I’m definitely going again next year.”

What We Provided

We were delighted to have provided our Live Music Festivals & Media package to Burnham Park Hall. This included:

  • A headline performance from !daft!
  • Line Array PA system
  • Sound engineer & stage manager
  • Videography
  • Photography

!daft! are truly delighted to have been part of this amazing event and we look forward to seeing you all again next year.
