Wedding En t ertainmen t

Although you, yourselves, will be the stars of the “show” let’s not forget that there will
be many long periods for guests to be waiting while you are being photographed;
while the venue is changed over for the evening party. During these times some
entertainment will break the ice between your families, distract younger guests and

provide a sense of flow between the main parts of the day.

A magician could be hired to visit each table during the wedding breakfast and
entertain each group in turn for a few minutes. Work out how many tables you have

and allow five to ten minutes for each one plus some extra for moving around.

For the children it can be a long time to behave nicely; a balloon modeller, puppeteer
or even, depending on the setting, a petting zoo could be hired for the day. Face

painters are also popular with children.

Live music can give a sophisticated feel to the evening. You could hire a saxophonist
or pianist for your guests to enjoy. Or maybe there is a local band you’ve heard at

another party? Live music is always special.

In the end, remember it’s your special day, so make sure it is personal and memorable
for the two of you.
