How To Choose Wedding Entertainers

Beautiful bride and glowing groom aside, the most important part of a successful wedding reception is the entertainers

. Think of all the weddings you've been to throughout your life. Weren't the most fun celebrations the ones with the liveliest music, plentiful food and drink and a touch of the unexpected?

Wedding entertainment has evolved greatly from when your mother planned her special day. Couples have unlimited options when it comes to keeping those smiles on the faces of their guests. How do you decide what to choose? It depends on what type of wedding you have.

Some brides give their wedding a theme, such as "Hollywood glamour" or "garden party." Having a theme makes selecting wedding entertainment easier as you can group by type. For example, for a Hollywood theme have "paparazzi" photographers snap pics of guests as they enter the reception on a red carpet, set up an old fashioned popcorn machine or hire Big Band-style musicians. Keep guests entertained at an outdoor garden wedding with lawn games like croquet and horse shoes. A carnival theme comes to life with the addition of a cotton candy machine and fire jugglers and magicians.

If you don't have a theme, match your wedding entertainment to your location or family tastes. A zydeco band is perfect for a wedding in the South, while a luau featuring a hula show and fire show are a perfect match for a beach wedding in the South Pacific. If your family heritage is Mexican, consider a mariachi band. Scottish brides and grooms often have a bagpiper at the ready while leaving the ceremony.

Remember your goal is to keep guests engaged while still allowing them to enjoy each others company. Many couples have slideshows at their receptions but make the mistake of running too long. Your guests will quickly tire of hundreds of photos of you and your beloved, so keep it to no longer than ten minutes. Wedding entertainment should be fun for others, not just the happy couple and their parents.

Your main focus when it comes to wedding entertainment should be the music. Whether it is just there for background noise or youre planning a wild dance party, your music is going to be heard by your guests for hours. Plan your other live entertainment around the bands breaks, or make arrangements with the DJ to step aside in order to feature any special entertainment.

Knock two items off your wedding checklist and save a few dollars by combining wedding entertainment with favors. A photo booth with funny props like hats and stick-on moustaches allows guests to goof around and gives them a fun token of your special day. A silhouette cutter is fascinating to watch and provides guests with a beautiful piece of art.

Save your big bang for about an hour before the end of the reception, just as things start to wind down but before your guests begin to leave. A dramatic fire show is an exciting and moving way to entertain wedding guests and give the happy couple a grand send-off.

No matter what you choose, remember to always sign a contract that protects your interests and spells out any and all charges, as well as verifying that the company you are hiring has all proper permits and insurance. The peace of mind youll get will allow you to fully enjoy your wedding entertainment!
