Wedding Entertainment Ideas
A Selection to Suit Every Part of the Family
Ideas for the Adults
Casino Tables
Starting off the wedding entertainment ideas, the first one for the adults. A casino table is a great idea to have some light-hearted gambling fun. You don’t have to play for real cash, it’s just a great feeling when you beat the other players at the table.
Cocktail Bar
Have your own signature cocktails designed for your wedding day, one for each of you. Anything alcohol based that’s interactive is always going to be a winner. Whether it’s a Gin Bar or Pimp your Prosecco bar. Getting your guests involved in making them is a sure-fire way to laughter too.
Comedian
If your wedding is adults only, why not have a comedian who does a ‘bit of blue’. You may offend a few people but if you warn them in advance, if they don’t want to listen. You could plan other entertainment for them while the comedian
is performing.
Fire Performers
Not one for the fainted hearted, fire performers are a fiery wedding entertainment that showcases death defying stunts and hot heat. These can also be interactive, with guests invited to stand in the middle of performers as they wield fire all around you.
Cigar Bar
For those who want to feel a little gentlemanly on their wedding day. Make use of a cigar bar; you could also extend this to the wedding favours for the groomsmen.
Axe Throwing
Handling sharp objects is most definitely an adults only entertainment idea. Just make sure your guests are sober before attempting this one.
Ideas for the Whole Family
Photobooth/Magic Mirror
A mainstay in wedding entertainment, the photobooth/ magic mirror is always a winner. And the hilarious memories you’ll have of your guests in various stages of fancydress will be priceless. Check out Snap Your Moment, Disco Dan Photobooth and Selfie Star Events.
Magician
A magician is perfect right at the start of a wedding reception when your guests are still getting comfortable. The perfect icebreaker, your guests will be oooing and aaahing in no time.
Wedding DJ
A good DJ knows how to get even the most reluctant dancers up on the dancefloor. When finding your wedding DJ, it’s important they understand what’s expected of them. Gone are the days of the DJ who’s muffled voice was heard over the top of the music. Many DJs nowadays are excellent toastmasters and can get involved in all the important aspects of your wedding day announcements. Check out Posh Wedding Discos & MDG Entertainment.

Kids Entertainment Packs
If you have kids coming to a wedding, the first thing to have ready in front of them is an activity pack. This can be tailored depending on the age of the child and can include anything from colouring books, scratch art, wordsearchs and plenty more. Sometimes having that initial distraction at the table is perfect to give you enough time to get through the speeches (maybe).

Everyone secretly loves having their face painted, even the grumpiest of adults, so why not include a face paint & glitter station as part of your wedding entertainment. Ideal while guests are milling about and for those who don’t want to take part in dancing the night away. Throw on some glitter instead!
