Your wedding day is many things. It’s an opportunity to fully cement yourself with your partner as a family, to celebrate your love, and to make your commitment clear. However, it’s also an opportunity to gather your friends, family, and loved ones together to really celebrate. As such, having the right entertainment is a key part of your planning. Here are some ways to make sure that you get it right:
Make Sure The Kids Have Fun
You might be focused a lot on the adults at the party but if you have invited kids, you have to ensure that they’re entertained as well. Bored and cranky kids can make any event a whole lot less fun, that’s for sure.
Setting up a kid’s area with dedicated activities and amusement rides, or even hiring a professional for them like magicians, balloon artists, or face painters, can do a lot to keep them entertained. It can also give the adults looking after them a little more room to relax, too.
Go With crowd-pleasers.
Music is a big part of any wedding entertainment arrangement, and to that end, you want to make sure that your music makes the night, rather than breaks it. You can opt for some personalized choices that have extra meaning to you and your spouse, but you want to make sure that your choice of musician, band, or DJ is flexible as well. Take a look at the most popular wedding songs and ensure that they’re able to play all of the hits. You want to get people on their feet, after all, and this might mean playing some of the most common, even cliche, hits.
Encourage People To Take Part
Most importantly, you want entertainment that gets people involved. A night becomes a lot more memorable if it’s something that they experience, not just something that they are there to witness.
To that end, interactive elements like photo booths, games, and a guestbook can do a great job of getting people to actually take part. With a photo booth, you can later share the memories of the night to entertain and delight your guests, as well.
Find Out What You’ll Need to Provide for Them
Whether you’re hiring a DJ, a live band, or other entertainers, it’s crucial to know what they require to deliver a top-notch performance. Speak with them well in advance to understand their needs, such as space requirements, power supply, or specific equipment.
For instance, bands might need a stage or certain acoustics to sound their best, while DJs might require a designated area for their setup and lighting. Providing a detailed schedule and clear communication about any venue rules or noise restrictions will also help your entertainers prepare adequately.
With the tips above, you should hopefully see all of your guests having a great time at your wedding. Having excellent entertainment takes some of the pressure off of you, allowing you to sit back, enjoy, and let it all wash over you.
