3)/Wedding Reception Entertainment Music - There are a few seasonal factors to consider in deciding on your Wedding reception music
a) For Wedding Reception music for a Summer Wedding one should consider the use of a Latin band giving the reception that Summer or Mediterranean vibe.
b) For a Winter wedding, a Jazz or Swing band is always a great option as the music is steeped in the era of the Rat pack.
c) Garden Wedding Why not look at booking outdoor Reception Entertainment- As the guests enter the hotel a great wedding idea would be to include some very unusual Wedding Entertainment such as Fire Eaters, Jugglers, Stilt Walkers or even a small Circus Crew.
4)The Meal - A novel and unusual wedding idea for during the meal could include background music in the form of Spanish Guitarists, Harpist, Piano Player See if you can strike a deal with a Classical Quartet to play for the Church Ceremony and during the meal.
As the meal finishes up the perfect way end to any Wedding Event is with a band ,DJ and light entertainment. So here are a couple of other suggestions for unusual entertainment ideas that might work for you.
5)Straight after the meal an increasingly popular form of entertainment as seen at many of the footballers Weddings, are the Opera Singing Waiters, they are a great addition to any day and will guarantee that your special day will be the "talk of the town" long after the day itself is over.
6)Before the band come on why not liven things up a short high-energy performance between 10 - 30 minutes long featuring dancers, dance lessons or interactive dancers. With every style of dancing such as swing, Latin, Can Can, Irish or Scottish possible..... Consider your guests here and see what type would be most fitting, you might also have a chance to keep the mother of the Bride happy! If dancing is not possible at this point what about some Magicians or Comedians.
7)The most important factor to be given maximum consideration too is the Band. The band can often make or break a wedding and therefore it is very important to use a reputable booking agency. They will deal with any problems and be at the end of a phone line to answer any questions that you may have.
8)A good DJ will cover all music tastes. A good entertainment booking company will provide you with advice on what works best ensuring a full dance floor and great night. Its is worth considering booking the Band and DJ through the same agency as they will have worked together before and therefore avoiding songs being duped, also, it will be cost effective as booking two acts through the one agency you will often be able to strike a deal.
9)Karaoke - Some couples just don't want the day to end! Often after the DJ leaves and the guests head off to the residence bar a singalong often ensues.... Why not sing along to a Karaoke machine, a fun and entertaining way to end off that special day.
10) The day after the Wedding many Brides and Grooms often hold a party for close Family and Friends. Why not have a simple guitar duo to enhance the BBQ or party.
