Many bridal couples want to offer their guests an unforgettable experience on their wedding day. They like to use professional entertainment providers for this. We’ll show you what options are available and give you a few tips and tricks in relation to professional entertainment at the wedding.
First of all – your wedding is a highlight for your guests anyway, even without additional entertainment. However, if you want to set special accents or, for example, fill waiting times for your guests, this can of course create very special additional experiences. Just be careful not to overload the program. By its nature, a wedding already offers many program points.
When choosing entertainment, go for professional providers. They not only have the necessary experience, but also professional equipment. They also have a feel for the right moment and can therefore get the guests on board and integrate the entertainment into the celebration.
A good time for entertainment is the aperitif, for example. This often goes by far too quickly for the bride and groom, but it can feel long for the guests. Offer the guests something here. But also remember not to overfill the program, offer the guests “breaks” in which they can simply enjoy a chat. It is also nice if the guests can decide for themselves whether they want to consume an entertainment program or not.
- Examples of active entertainment: Games or interactive program points in which the guests participate directly, such as a quiz about the bride and groom.
- Examples of passive entertainment: A magic show or live music that guests can simply enjoy without being actively involved.
It is important to give the guests this choice. Not everyone wants to get involved on the dance floor or with games. With offers such as a photo box, you can provide entertainment that is optional and at the same time creates a wonderful memory.
To make the evening varied and exciting, you can combine different entertainment options and increase them during the day.
- At the wedding ceremony, a solo musician who provides emotional moments.
- During the aperitif, a small ensemble or duo to accompany the guests in a relaxed atmosphere.
- In the evening, a full band to bring the party to a peak.
In this way, the evening develops dynamically and your guests experience a constant build-up of tension.
Another aspect are guest contributions. These can add a personal and emotional touch, but too many can quickly become overwhelming – both for the bride and groom and for the guests. One particularly important point: don’t plan any guests’ contributions before the main course! The main course should be served on time so that the food can be enjoyed in the planned quality and the atmosphere does not suffer due to delays.
One or two well-planned guest contributions are usually sufficient. Coordinate with the guests to avoid overlaps and plan these program points in such a way that they enrich the evening but do not seem too long-winded.
If you’re still looking for inspiration, here are some ideas:
- Magic show: Fascinating for young and old guests alike.
- Photo box: A highlight that provides entertainment and creates beautiful memories at the same time.
- Dance shows or light shows: Particularly suitable for later in the evening to lift the mood.
- Caricaturist: A great program item where guests can take home individual memories.
With these tips, you can make your wedding day unforgettable for you and your guests – all with a harmonious and well-thought-out entertainment program.
