Choosing the right venue for your wedding day is one of the biggest decisions you will have to make when planning your special day. Once you have chosen your perfect venue, you have many other decisions to make in regards to who else you would like to work with to make your special day perfect.
We consider ourselves to be the premier wedding venue in Lancashire. In choosing The Great Hall at Mains you can be assured that we work regularly with the best in the industry and only recommend those we truly believe echo our philosophy when it comes to making weddings perfect.
In this series of suppliers’ interviews, we have been chatting to some of our favourite suppliers who we consider to be amongst the best professionals in their field.
We are pleased to introduce our fantastic entertainment agent Cameron Scott who is the founder of "Camscott Leisure" Cameron and his team have been working along side us for many years. They offer an array of entertainment for any genre, i.e. DJ's, bands, swing or soul singers and string quartets...The list goes on!!
TGH: How did you get into providing entertainment services?
C: I was originally a singer and musician myself, moving on to become an entertainment manager and cruise director before setting up Camscott Leisure.
The man himself, the ever professional and helpful "Cameron Scott"
TGH: How long have you been in the industry?
C: 30 years as a performer and Entertainment Co-ordinator.
Paul Guard (Swing Singer) - One of the acts Camscott recommends...you can certainly see why - wit woo!
TGH: Why is it important to have entertainment at a wedding?
C: Entertainment really provides an opportunity to add the ‘wow factor’ to a special day! A great act can leave guests talking about them for months afterwards.
TGH: What services do you supply for weddings?
C: We can provide a wide range of entertainment from DJs, singers, bands and musicians to string quartets, saxophonists, chocolate fountains and casino tables!
Undercover Acoustics...entertainment for the evening, again another fab group provided by
Camscott leisure.
TGH: In your experience what is the average cost of entertainment for a wedding?
C: Probably around the £500 mark upwards, although this depends on the budget and what is required – you may want a singer during your wedding breakfast or a 5 piece live band for the evening party which inevitably costs more.
TGH: Can clients see testimonials of your past clients?
C: Yes, testimonials are readily available if requested.
TGH: How much contact do a couple have with entertainers that they book through Camscott?
C:In a word – lots! At the time of the booking, client contact details are passed to the act so that they can speak with them prior to the day to discuss musical requirements, timings etc. Direct contact is so important to ensure that everything is as the couple want it on the day.
James Edgar "Singer and Acoustic Guitarist''
TGH: How diverse are the acts that you can provide?
C: We work with a whole range of diverse acts from a DJ or wedding singer to comedians, circus performers, fire breathers, jugglers, caricaturists, magicians, dancers, cocktail flarers and Punch and Judy acts!
TGH: What is the best aspect of working with live acts?
C: The satisfaction of seeing happy customer’s reactions!
TGH: Finally, how important is it do you think, being a recommended supplier at The Great Hall at Mains, or anywhere else for that matter.
C: Extremely important! The recommendation has given us a terrific portfolio and we love working so closely with a venue with such a fantastic reputation.
Thank you, Cameron for taking the time to answer all the questions and we look forward to many more years of working with you in the future...always a pleasure!
