Choosing the right entertainment for your big day can be really overwhelming! After all, you want to be sure your friends and family enjoy your celebrations and look back on them fondly for years to come. With all and sundry choosing a DJ or a wedding band to perform, you might be surprised to see just how many options are available to keep your wedding guests entertained all night long. With these 8 ideas, your special day will be one-of-a-kind!
Whiskey Tasting
Have an interactive cocktail hour and invite your guests to sample wonderful whiskeys and bourbons guided by an expert. Let them discover unique and rare flavours to find one that they love.
Impersonators
Stun your guests with a celebrity appearance at your wedding, whether it’s to come along as a guest, to break up the day time between your ceremony and wedding breakfast or to perform at your reception, a celebrity lookalike will certainly add a little extra glitz and glam to the day.
A Cigar Bar
One for the boys! Have a custom blend of tobacco hand rolled for your guests, not only providing a special twist to your day, but creating a dapper wedding favour for the party-goers to take home. The men will only be too delighted to stand around the cigar bar and enjoy the banter.
Puppeteer
A great way to keep your little VIPs entertained but also providing some nostalgia for the adults is to have a puppet show! Once the wedding meal is over, it can be a nightmare to keep the kids busy in the evening section of your festivities. A bit of thought into child-friendly entertainment will have guests who are parents thanking their lucky stars.
Vintage Bands
Vintage entertainment to match your theme will take your nuptials to another dimension. Bands performing songs from the roaring 20’s will have your guests dancing the Lindy Bop well into the night. Your Great Gatsby style affair will be the talk of the town.
A Wedding After Party
Wedding receptions generally tend to finish well before your guests are ready to, so why not keep the party alive at a local bar or club? It will be a welcome and unexpected twist to your evening and make your special day last just that little bit longer.
Picture Perfect
Go one step further with your wedding photo booth by giving your guests customized USB sticks to take their memories home, small enough to tuck away into pockets or glittery clutch bags, away from the dreaded spilled drink when the party really gets going!
Fireworks
End the night with a bang by putting on a magical firework display for your guests. The perfect, glittering finale for your wedding which will be treasured forever.
