With guest experience being high on the priority list for many couples, choosing the perfect entertainment for your Wedding can really make your Wedding an extra special day for your guests. Yet choosing the right entertainment can seem a daunting task, with so many options to choose from.
Whether you’re looking for entertainment pre-ceremony, whilst you’re having your Wedding photos taken, or you’re looking for something unique and memorable for the evening, picking your Wedding entertainment, is no longer simply about choosing the right music. Keeping your guests entertained throughout the day, will keep them happy and make your Wedding the one to remember!
Consider your Wedding theme and your audience (i.e. your guests!) when choosing your entertainment- think about what would work with your style and be something that your guests will love! But most importantly choose something that you will enjoy too and make sure every aspect of your Wedding – including your entertainment – is a reflection of you!
There’s no right or wrong when it comes to Wedding entertainment, so stick with what works for you, will appeal to your guests and will fit with your Wedding theme and budget.
Reception Entertainment
Why not keep your guests entertained during your Wedding Breakfast and reception, with a fun photo treasure hunt, or photo booth to match your Wedding theme- either with some fun dressing up options, or keep it simple and elegant, your photos could double as a memorable guest book that everyone will want to be a part of! Take it to the next level with a 360 photo booth for some high-tech Wedding entertainment!
Seasonal reception entertainment is a great option if you’re planning your Wedding around the holiday seasons!
Easter Weddings are so much fun when the baby animals come to play! If you’re planning an outdoor, marquee or tipi Wedding around Easter time, this is a great entertainment option to fit with a more relaxed Wedding pace. Also, if you have lots of young guests, lambs, baby rabbits and other furry friends are guaranteed to keep them entertained!
Summer Weddings are the ideal opportunity to make the most of garden games, for the perfect outdoor entertainment on a sunny lawn… bring on the giant Jenga!
Magicians are a great option for indoor entertainment, particularly for spring/autumn when you won’t necessarily be spending as much time outdoors. They’re actually a great entertainment idea for all year round and can work around a room, giving each of your guests a personal and magical experience!
Planning a Christmas Wedding? Would could be better entertainment than a visit from the Big Man in Red himself?
If you have lots of young guests at your Wedding, it’s a great idea to have a dedicated area for the kids to escape to, with entertainment just for them! There are so many options for children’s entertainment, their getaway can not only be fun but beautiful too!
And remember, happy children make for happy parents- so give your parent guests the opportunity to let their hair down and enjoy the party too, whilst making sure their little ones are fully entertained!
Personalised children’s entertainment packs are a great option too and can include fun puzzles and colouring options. Childrens entertainment can include games, books, entertainers or even soft play! For more of a DIY option, create a treasure hunt or a scavenger hunt to keep them busy for hours!
Choose a live band
Live bands are a sure way to get your guests up on the dance floor and boogying the night away! Choose a band with a style that you and your guests will love- a crowd pleaser will always fill the dance floor and guarantee a great evening.
… And number 1 rule: always see them live before you book!
To make your live band even more special on the day, consider surprising your guests with a choreographed first dance!
The live music doesn’t have to start with a band, consider a string quartet, acoustic guitarist, harpist or solo singer to entertain your guests throughout the day.
