Robert Boyd, recognized as one of the world’s premier Flamenco guitarists and composers, is the owner and founder of BertoFlamenco Productions; a company of concert-level musicians and top-recording artists who provide music and entertainment to include Spanish guitarists, Flamenco Music and Dance, Brazilian, Cuban, Classical, Jazz, Gypsy Jazz, and even DJ’s.
Robert’s musical training began with the piano at age five. “I began with the piano but decided by the time I was ten, the piano was for my sister, and the guitar was for me,” he said. “I wanted to be able to play anywhere and everywhere, so I picked up the guitar.”
Robert studied Classical guitar and composition for several years, but
life changed when he was forced to attend a Flamenco show. “I had a
date with someone I was dying to go out with that night,” Robert
reminisced, “but my mother said ‘Get ready, I’m taking you to see
Flamenco.’”

When Robert resisted, she reminded him who paid for his
lessons and his strings. “I canceled my hot date,” he said. But he got
an even hotter musical career.
“At the concert, my life flashed before my eyes,” explains Robert. It
became evident that Flamenco was for him because next, Robert found
himself studying extensively throughout southern Spain. “I played and
played, then came home and locked myself away for the next three years
and practiced 14 hours a day.” After emerging, he went right to work
aligning himself with the finest musicians throughout the U.S. to
contract for concerts, festivals, weddings, private parties, corporate
events, and unique special occasions.
Word of his talent and his company’s talent spread quickly, and now
his music and his company’s concert-level musicians are in demand for
weddings and other events nation-wide
.
With BertoFlamenco Productions as a part of your entire wedding, Robert’s
customized bridal march, Bridal Chorus for a New Century, escorts the
bride down the ceremony aisle; for the reception, the ensemble Ritmo
Gitano, creates the experience for the newlyweds and their guests of
fiery, passionate music from Spain which could include professional
Flamenco dance performance, where enthusiastic guests can learn a few
steps and join in on the fun. BertoFlamenco Productions will ensure that your
guests’ memories include having a very, very good time.

#16 COMFORTABLE RECEPTIONS
Reception spaces are taking on a comfort
theme nowadays. Rather than using cocktail tables alone, couples are
creating a lounge effect in their reception areas by adding cozy
furniture groupings of sofas and coffee tables, along with tenting and
draping, lamps and lanterns, lit up trees and dozens of candles. You
may want to hire a jazz quartet or flamenco trio to create a sultry
ambiance. Some couples are even hiring cigar rollers! You can also
use this set-up outdoors for a living room beneath the stars!

# 6 RECIPES FOR FAVORS
Gather together the favorite recipes that you remember as a child. They could be special family recipes, holiday menus, etc. Have them bound in small books, affix a wedding label on the front with your monogram and date that you were married. And there you have it, a unique favor that your guests will use again and again. Also, it is a wonderful way to acknowledge grandmothers and mothers.

#21 LA FLEUR TABLE
Cover your entire table top with a single bold color of petals. Not
just a scattering, but the entire top of the table with a thick layer
of petals! You can purchase them at a farmers market or order them
through your florist. Place your chargers, place settings, glassware
and centerpieces in a contrasting color and lots of candles directly
onto the petals for a stunning, romantic look!
