The good weather is finally here! Although we are still manoeuvring ourselves through the remains of the global pandemic, the light at the end of the tunnel has never looked so bright. With great weather, we usually also welcome wedding season. Last summer proved to us all that we did not need to have an enormous amount of guests to have an elegant, simple and most importantly, fun wedding. This summer, smaller outdoor weddings are welcome as long as simple rules...
As February comes to an end, the world is optimistic about warmer days ahead. However with the pandemic still looming, the future still seems unclear and questions keep rising about going back to “normal” living.

2020 was a turbulent year to say the very least. As the year progressed, it almost seemed like things could not get any worse. The global pandemic known as Covid-19 forced the world to pause everything and this affected every single person on the planet in some way or another.

We know what you are going through. It’s that time of the year where holiday parties would usually begin taking place and this year it’s a mess.

It may seem like a lot to take in and think about, but don’t fret. There are...
2020 has been an odd year to say the very least. With social distancing easing in the last few weeks, we have noticed something very strange: we’ve taken so much for granted. As entertainers, we are some of the luckiest people in the world. We get to express ourselves through our art and make a living out of it. However, when the pandemic hit, our luck seem to run out almost over night. No more weekly meetings, no more rehearsals,...
