Weddings can take a lot of time to plan. You typically need the services of a specialist to help you manage all of the different components of a wedding. However, even despite all of the help you can get, there are still some areas that can feel a little lacklustre. One of the most underrated aspects of wedding planning is entertainment. For many people, wedding entertainment becomes the soul of the wedding. It’s about making your wedding more fun and personalised, and it can get guests mingling and enjoying themselves.
Let’s face it, a wedding can be rather boring for most of the guests. Being social and having a good time are great ways to wind down after a serious ceremony. Entertainment serves as a fantastic way to treat your guests at your wedding and help them relax. It’s important to pick high-quality entertainment when planning your wedding so that your guests smile and have a lot of fun on your big day. This makes it more memorable and they’re less likely to have a bad or boring experience.
So in this post, we’ll be looking at a couple of wedding entertainment ideas that you should consider trying and how they can uplift your wedding.
Go crazy with a modern photo booth
These days, photo booth hire can include some crazy props and filters that make the whole experience a lot more entertaining. In fact, they’re called party booths now because you have a whole range of unique settings to pick from that’ll make the photo experience more entertaining. One great example is the built-in wind machine in some photo booths that makes for some fun and interesting images. Another example is the ability to upload directly to social media instead of just printing them on small stickers and instant photos. It’s the perfect addition for any modern wedding that uses social media as a way to communicate and share photos and videos from the event.
Entertaining people that you can hire
Entertainment can often be about putting on a good show. There are a lot of unique options to pick from when it comes to hiring people. For instance, a magician can be a lot of fun depending on where you place them and how long you book them in for. Magicians can do rounds at your dinner tables and perform little entertaining tricks for people as they enjoy their meal. Others might perform on stage as everyone is gathered, taking guests from the party as volunteers for their tricks.
Another great example is a fortune teller. This service is particularly fun if you have a lot of superstitious people at your wedding. They can find out more about their future or even discover if their future partner is also attending the wedding. Fortune tellers can be great fun if used at the right time, but they should be willing to appear at weddings. Fortune telling can be seen as an intimate meeting between the fortune teller and an individual, so they should have some party-like services that can be considered as entertainment.
Dance lessons at your wedding
One of the most important dances in a traditional wedding is between the bride and the groom. After that, the DJ usually puts on the hottest party tunes and invites everyone else onto the floor. However, if you want to turn dancing into a fun group event, you should consider dance lessons. All you need is a dance instructor to guide your guests. This will turn the night into a fun and unique group dance session with a trained professional leading the way. This can get a lot of people to join in and try dancing. A little encouragement is usually all they need to get started!
Street food stalls
If you have a lot of guests coming, street food stalls can be a fantastic way for you to enjoy a delicious snack (or a full meal!) before or after your wedding dinner. We suggest setting up the street food stalls much later in the evening after dinner or around lunchtime if you have guests arriving early. This will help keep your guests satisfied before and after dinner, especially if they’re feeling a little hungry from all the other entertainment you have! Street food can be equal parts delicious and entertaining, so try to hire services that have worked at weddings before and can offer something fun and unique for your guests to see and try.
