Five Types of Entertainment You Can (and Should) Book for Your Wedding
Your wedding day is one of the most remarkable and memorable events in your life. Choosing the right entertainment for your big day can make it even more unforgettable for you and your guests, but there’s so much more than just music. Music is, of course, a huge part of any wedding and cannot be missed out on the to-do list, but you also have fireworks, magicians, photo booths, and party games to consider.
Whatever the case, you need to start early, though. Top talent books out fast, so make hiring your entertainers the second thing you do after booking your venue. To save on travel costs, try to find talent closer to the venue than not. This way, you can put more of your budget towards either a second or third entertainment act.
Live Music
To hire wedding entertainment typically means getting live musicians or bands, which are a popular choice for weddings. Live music adds a unique touch to your special day and can create a romantic and elegant ambiance for your ceremony, cocktail hour, and reception. You can choose from a variety of music genres and styles, such as jazz, classical, pop, or rock, to fit your wedding theme and preferences.
On the other hand, you can also go with a professional DJ. A professional DJ can keep the party going all night long by playing a wide range of music that caters to all your guests’ tastes. A DJ can also provide special effects such as lighting, fog machines, and photo booths to create a fun and unforgettable atmosphere for your wedding.
Caricature Artists
Hiring a caricature artist is a fun and unique way to entertain your guests. The artist can draw quick and humorous portraits of your guests, providing a fun and interactive experience for everyone.
A Magician
Magicians can add fun and hilarity to your event, and they’re a huge hit with big, mixed family occasions. After all, if kids are going to make up at least part of your guest list, then you need to keep them entertained and having fun, too! A magician is just the person to do that, and it’s also a good way to give your guests a break to sit down and relax while they enjoy a show.
Party Games
If you have an outdoor venue, set up some simple lawn games to help your guests mingle and have fun. Otherwise, try having some simple party games. You don’t need to go all out here, and, in fact, sometimes, the cheap, simple games are best. That way, your guests can have fun competitions with each other, laugh during the process, and get to know each other in a more relaxed setting.
Photo Booth or Set
A final top tip is to hire a photo booth. Photo booths are a popular choice for weddings and provide an opportunity for guests to take silly and fun pictures with props and costumes. You can customize the photo booth to match your wedding theme and provide the photos as wedding favors for your guests to take home.
