Start at the waterfront with a photo challenge in costume, take a ferry across the river with a dare card for every crossing, and spend the evening in the music bars of the Cavern Quarter. A karaoke dare or a sing-along in a friendly pub gets the groom on stage. Always check that the pub is happy with the group.
Ask before singing. Pubs with live music often have rules about who can perform, so check with staff before the groom takes the stage.
