When family are gathered together in the hotel just waiting for a few hours to pass by, there\u2019s nothing better than a bit of entertainment from a strolling act to enliven proceedings. A great time for a magician to diffuse some nerves and ensure that talking to your Great Uncle isn\u2019t as difficult as you\u2019d feared. A brilliant ice breaker, we highly recommend this whilst the bride and groom are busily getting ready.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ceremony<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the wedding ceremony itself! You\u2019re probably wondering if you want a traditional wedding march to accompany you as you walk down the aisle, but why have that when you can have a small jazz band playing off to the side? It makes for a far more unique proposition than an organist playing that same tune you\u2019ve heard at hundreds of weddings before and can even form part of the ceremony itself should you decide to put your own spin on things.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drinks Reception<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whilst the bride and groom are off having their photos taken with their various in-laws, cousins and old University friends, it leaves the rest of the wedding party to stand about somewhat aimlessly drinking some Champagne or non-alcoholic equivalent. But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way! Hiring a wedding pianist for an hour, or perhaps a solo singer is a perfect example \u2013 always goes down a treat.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wedding Breakfast<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Naturally it all depends on your budget but after the food and speeches the bride and groom tend to walk between tables, happily greeting those they haven\u2019t seen in awhile. For those who aren\u2019t on a table with anyone they know very well, the small talk ran out somewhere between the main course and dessert. As such, some light entertainment in the form of a quiz \u2013 perhaps about the couple? \u2013 or caricaturist can go a long way!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reception.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We needn\u2019t go into too much detail about whether a band of DJ is the way to go\u2026 Just know that entertainment is pretty much a must have for this portion of your wedding day and can make the occasion even more special to those who have travelled a long way!
