We're having a street magician. He's going to be there for a couple of hours while the evening guests are arriving and will be based by the bar. Hopefully will get the day and evening guests mingling x

We thought photobooths were quite common now so we opted for a silhouette artist. He cuts a silhouette of someone in about 2 mins and gives them a framed one and one for us to put in our guestbook. He also cuts a full length bride and groom silhouette. Means a little gift for them and gives people something to talk about!

We're having lawn games, giant jenga, connect 4 etc. Obviously depends what time of year and what outside space you have.

We are potentially having a bouncy castle but again depends on space. There is also a magic mirror an alternative to photo booth where you basically selfie then can draw at pictures emojis etc to the image.

We've seen a retro ice cream man, and a photobooth which is an old taxi, which also allows you to record video messages

We had a photo booth and it was the best money I have ever spent! There was a queue all night for it and the album we got is full of fantastic pictures! We also had a sweet cart and the venue had its own outdoor games for the kids

I'm having a balloon artist for the children, magic mirror photo booth, sweet cart and then another idea for entertainment that I ant put on here as it's a surprise. It's fun and imaginative. If anyone would like to know what it is then please inbox me :) I'm also having popcorn and candy floss, oh and chocolate kebab x

I like the idea of a magic mirror - it's a touch screen mirror that you stand in front of and it takes full length photos and prints them immediately for guests to take home. Costs about the same as a photobooth I think :-)

I'm thinking of a mechanical bull. This would be so much fun

I'm a psychic medium and do mini readings for weddings - this might be an idea if you find someone local to you that does it x

We had a band but not like any normal wedding band. If you look them up on YouTube, they are called duke official. They were absolutely amazing and everyone loved how different it was x

We have two styles of Photobooth but they aren't bog standard boxes. We have a vintage booth for indoors or a vintage caravan if you wanted to take advantage of outdoor space. I know you mentioned about booths but I just wanted to stress that not all booths are the same.

I catered one wedding that had opera singers. They were posing as bar and waiting staff it was incredible to watch they got stuck right in and started just after we put dessert out. Totally blended in. X
