What sort of entertainment are people having??? I dont just mean djs etc, I also mean things like magicians, artists, doves been released....etc
CommentAuthorMrs brown - 19/08/12
Were just having a Dj, I would love to release doves but there is 4 perigrine falcons at the church! I can really see the worst thing happening to those doves Lol x
CommentAuthorHeather
We are having a DJ in the evening and releasing sky lanterns at night.
CommentAuthorMrsE 2b
Pianist during the wedding breakfast, then a band afterwards. *Might* do a photobooth (our photographer offers it for an extra £250) depending on budget. I'd love a magician for the little ones but I imagine they're pricey!
CommentAuthorInDreamland
All we're having is organist at the church and DJ in the evening at the reception venue. Can't really afford anything else but I think I'll get some blow up air guitars from the bay or amazon for the disco and maybe some glow sticks.
Will see if we can just stick a CD on during the meal. x

CommentAuthorJennyTembo
Not got the money for lots if extras so we having a dj and we are doing are own quiz.. :) xx
looking forward to being Mrs Embo :)
CommentAuthorZoe81
We had DJ in the evening and a string quartet from guests arriving, through the ceremony and drinks reception and through the wedding breakfast. It was the one thing that Husband really wanted so we found the extra money. Really glad we did as loads of people commented on how good they were and that they hadn't seen it at anyone elses wedding.

CommentAuthorMrsE 2b
Sussie, could you post that magician on my wall? I still think 250 extra is too much for us but would be good to take a note of the name just in case! Thank you xx
CommentAuthorMrsE 2b
Zoe81, ooh a string quartet sounds lovely!! Was it expensive? We are thinking pianist for the dinner (I know a piano teacher who thinks she can help me find someone) but after your post I'm now thinking something for guests arriving and then continuing for dinner sounds lovely! Xx
CommentAuthorGemmaL48
I have a harpist for the ceremony and drinks reception then a live band in the evening. It has worked out at £650 for the both of them which i dont think is too bad considering the harpist will be there for 2 1/2 hours and the band for 3 1/2 hours (obviously with a break :) ). x
Worked together, fell in love with each other!
13th October 2012 I become Mrs Daniels!!
CommentAuthorMrsP2be
We have a pianist during our cocktail hour (after the ceremony, before the wedding breakfast) then a DJ and a photobooth in the evening.
CommentAuthorSweetchilli
We have a piper to pipe guests in & out, we are releasing white doves, having a dj at night and we are considering having a caricature for the evening reception.
CommentAuthorSelinaK
Erm, we have a laptop full of music for the evening do, and with any luck someone might do a dance performance (alcohol + music = dad dancing lol!!) Our venue is in the country, a council run country park, so hoping that between cereomony and meals people can find plenty to do that is already provided!!
CommentAuthorJacquirose
We're having a harpist for arrivals and walking down isle, signing registers and then she'll play for drinks on the lawn too (better be great weather!). Then a live band from 8pm -12pm, with a Bulesque dancer for an hour on the bands break. We may book a guy whos been recommended, a Frank Sinatra type stint (outside again)for when we're away getting photographed.

CommentAuthorZoe81
MrsE 2b The string quartet were about £600 for 5 hours, which we thought was really good, especially after the compliments from the guests about them! But you could have them for as long as you want (I think minimum was 2 hours). I'll post the link on your wall.

CommentAuthorZoe81
MrsE 2b I can't post on your wall, I've sent you a friend request. Otherwise if you use a search engine and look for Endymion string quartet they are the ones we used and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

We are having a harpist for the arriva of guest to the end of the speeches. We have got a magician for after te wedding ceremony and he is there for 4 hours As were getting married in a zoo we have also arranged to go on the train around the park when the park has closed so we will have the park to ourselves :-) Then in the evening we have got a DJ who is also a friend. Xx

CommentAuthorphoebee
We are having a DJ. X
CommentAuthorMrsE 2b
Oh thanks Zoe- I just found them on youtube, they're very good! And that was actually great value for 4 members for 5 hours- good find! They're North West though which unfortunately wouldn't work for London.
Mrs K 2B would you mind popping a link on my wall for your harpist? Btw my wall is public so not sure why Zoe couldn't post? xx
CommentAuthorMinimalistSpouse
Nothing booked for me yet, but I'm planning on getting a friend that does circus lira (or maybe even doing it myself as I teach it) to perform at the wedding.
I also would like a band if I can afford it, personally I'd like a soul/blues/funk band or a blues brother's tribute!
CommentAuthorMrsK2b
Yep I will do that now for you :-)
Cant wait until I become Mrs K
CommentAuthorMrsK2b

CommentAuthorLinzi-jo
We havent even thought about this yet! We will have a dj but depending on budget we dont know what else!
And MrsE2b, when your profile is public it means everyone can view your wall and your photos, but no one can actually post on your wall without being your friend first :) xxx

CommentAuthorHelenW
We are probably doing our own music (laptop, ipod job!). H2B has friends with all the kit (we may just bribe him to do a set for us!). We're also having a characturist for the switchover between meal and evening guests arriving! xx

CommentAuthorVelcro
I have no idea about entertainment. I want some... but i cant decide what! I wanted to set a couple of consoles up, but im not sure if that would be possible... we'd need the tvs and the consoles, which would be mine, and im not sure how i feel about lettign all my guests loose on them.... unless there's a way I coudl keep them out of harms way....!

We are having karaoke in the evening (even though I'm an appalling singer) but I enjoy singing along. In the afternoon we are having some games in the beer garden at the pub.
CommentAuthorsussie
im using our garden games, still debating whether to pay for the magician, though its a def if i get this job
CommentAuthormrsV2013
i was at my venue today and was looking at the garden area and was debating garden toys too :) thinking yes if nice
hicory vicary dock i will be mrs rachel vicary :)
CommentAuthorsussie
we will be having them indoors, so if venue is big enough and the worst happens, they will still come in useful.
CommentAuthormrsV2013
might look into indoor stuff like colouring table and board games. owt to keep the kids entertained i'll have around 15 to entertain :/
hicory vicary dock i will be mrs rachel vicary :)
CommentAuthorLlosa

CommentAuthormrsV2013
