When it comes to choosing wedding entertainment<\/a>, many have absolutely no idea where to begin. That\u2019s no surprise either; why would you know where to begin when for most this is something completely new to experience! Very few newlyweds have ever been married before so to expect the bride and groom to know how to choose wedding entertainment is ludicrous. Thankfully, we are here to help!<\/span><\/p>\n

Restrictions<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s best to start by looking at the wedding venue you have chosen and working backwards from there. Are there any restrictions in place that might immediately cut down your list into \u00a0a more manageable size? Many wedding venues are very old or are situated close to public areas. In this case, they may have a sound limiter which means you probably won\u2019t be able to book that Metallica tribute band you had your eye on. Others might prevent wedding parties from having jugglers or acrobats indoors due to the highly expensive art on the walls. Ask your wedding venue whether they have any restrictions in place before booking wedding entertainment.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Taste<\/span><\/p>\n

The important thing to remember about your wedding day entertainment is that it is all about you! The bride and groom! There\u2019s no point booking a harpist if you can\u2019t stand the harp (though in all honesty, we not sure any harp haters actually exist) and if you absolutely love card tricks, feel free to book a magician if it\u2019s what you want. Your wedding day is exactly that: your wedding day. Make sure it\u2019s everything you first envisaged after getting engaged!<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s most important to you?<\/span><\/p>\n

The bride and groom are often exceptionally busy on the wedding day itself so tend to \u2018miss out\u2019 on a lot of what\u2019s going on by virtue of having other things to do. While your guests are sipping at champagne, the happy couple will often venture off to have their wedding photos taken. As everybody is enjoying their wedding breakfast, the couple often have to walk between tables as each guest wishes to congratulate them on their day. So what matters most to you? If you\u2019d prefer to have attendees chatting to one another, a magician can help break the ice. If you\u2019d like a fun photo album of your day, booking a photo booth is a must. Have a think and we are certain you\u2019ll be able to prioritise accordingly!<\/span><\/p>\n

Inside\/Outside<\/span><\/p>\n

Booking wedding entertainment definitely varies depending on whether your wedding is inside or outside. In the summer, you might want to book a strolling acoustic act, but always have a backup idea in place if it starts to rain! If your event is taking place mainly indoors, there will naturally be a few types of wedding entertainment that won\u2019t necessarily work.<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider your budget<\/span><\/p>\n

The final consideration to make when it comes choosing wedding entertainment is your budget. Newlyweds don\u2019t want to start married life with a mountain of debt but it does happen so please only book what you can afford. At the end of the day, a wedding is a marvellous celebration of a couple\u2019s love for one another and nothing should get in the way of that. If you can\u2019t afford a function band, then perhaps look at booking a DJ. There are a multitude of options available for any budget so there really is something for everyone.<\/span><\/p>\n
