Here are some different types of wedding entertainment to consider: 

Live Music versus a DJ

One of the biggest decisions you need to make relates to music and hosting, and it’s not just about having a band or a DJ. There are a world of possibilities. For example, you can hire a violinist for the ceremony, as you walk down the aisle, and then an upbeat DJ for the party later on.

Or, if you’re a musical family, you can have a band set up their equipment and encourage family members to get on stage and sing a few songs or rock out on the guitar along with the musicians. 

Entertainment for Children

Nowadays many couples already have children of their own, and if not, there are dozens of nieces, nephews, flowers girls and ring bearers running around.

A new trend to consider is to hire a wedding nanny or set up a play area for young children. This way kids can play, draw, and have fun while parents get to relax and focus on the wedding.

Doing Something Special

Try to add some special form of wedding entertainment to make your wedding you! For cultural weddings, a Henna artist is always a hit with guests. If you have a photo booth, choose a theme that fits your personalities, like sports or travel.

Or, why not think way outside and hire a magician or a caricature artist. Today nothing is off limits. Fireworks, smoke machines, trapeze artists, stilt walkers, belly dancers, you name it, the only limit is your budget!
