Choosing wedding entertainment is not easy. Whilst there are plenty of bands and DJs out there advertising their services, finding entertainment that will make your big day extremely memorable and will, at the same time, appeal to most, if not all, of your guests remains a tough challenge.
Not only do you need to find an act that are right for you, but also one that is right for the surroundings and the venue itself, as well as entertainers that are going to give it their all and not simply turn up for a pay cheque.
In a big hotel venue, you might not have to worry about what type of entertainment will fit, as any type will be able to work in such surroundings. However, in barns, for example, DJs may have trouble with discs skipping if the floor is bouncy, whilst finding enough power points to cater for a huge band could be a logistical nightmare. As such, an acoustic act may work better in such surroundings, or even a string quartet.
Once you are aware what type of entertainment will work in the venue you have chosen, it will be important to think of how to surprise your guests. Not only will something surprising be far more enjoyable, but a surprise will also be more memorable in the long term for both you and your guests.
For example, singing wedding waiters who morph from hired help to tuneful, hilarious entertainment may be the best approach, especially for those in more unique surroundings. By taking such an approach, the bride and groom can even pretend they are having no entertainment at all, before singing waiters surprise the entire crowd, often ensuring crowd participation in a way that few other alternatives will ever manage.
Choosing your wedding entertainment needs a great deal of thought, and ensuring you think about your guests, your venue and your own artistic preferences will help you find the perfect act for your perfect day.
