I have been performing at more and more weddings recently where there has been a social media ban as requested by the bride and groom. This is a subject that probably wouldn’t cross your mind until the actual day when a realisation may occur that actually you don’t want all your evening only guests seeing your dress and the room décor plastered all over Facebook before they’ve even arrived at your reception. But your guests and their mobile phones could present a real issue at your wedding. Think of this – you’re walking down the aisle, it’s your big moment, your expensive photographer is trying to capture the emotion of your entrance….then 4 or 5 eager guests step out from the pews holding their Selfie sticks and phones aloft and block the shot!
Next you get to your wedding breakfast and instead of your guests coming together getting to know each other around their tables and enjoying the speeches, everyone’s heads are down on their phones posting to Instagram, checking in on Facebook and turning into a dog on Snapchat.
