A Quick Guide to Choosing Your Wedding Entertainment

The entertainment at your wedding is one of the most important parts of the day, so getting it sorted early ensures you have everything you want on your wedding day. Leaving it too late means that you may not be able to find anyone that suits you and your day, or that you may have to pay a lot more money for them. Entertainment is a great way to relax and take the spotlight off you for a few hours so you can take a breather. Here’s a quick guide to choosing your wedding entertainment.

Choosing the Right Entertainment

The first thing that you need to choose as a couple is what type of entertainment you want. You need to think about your own wishes as well as the people that are going to be attending the wedding. There are so many choices out there so you’re bound to find what you’re looking for. You could also split the day with entertainers if you can’t decide or want to entertain the children in the afternoon and then have an adult entertainer for later in the evening. Most entertainers can fit a theme, too, so if there is something you want for your wedding just ask. You should also consider what type of wedding you are having and how the venue would work for each entertainer.

Finding the Best People

Once you have an idea of what you would like at your wedding, you can begin researching people in the local area and, if necessary, beyond. There are many ways to do this, including wedding websites that provide package deals or searching the internet. Try to find an entertainer that has good reviews on their website and provides pictures or videos of their shows so you can have a good idea on how they perform before you get in touch. For example, Lark Music’s wedding entertainment has an Instagram page and plenty of customer reviews to help you decide what entertainment package is right for you.

Meeting the Entertainment

When you have found someone that you believe will be a great addition to your wedding, go and meet them. Whilst it is all well and good watching a video, someone’s online presence can be totally different to who they really are as a person, so it’s always a good idea to meet the entertainer in person. This way you can also discuss everything they need to know and ask any burning questions instead of constantly firing emails. Ask them their usual performing hours, rates and if they have the equipment necessary to perform at your wedding venue. Beforehand, ensure they are free on your wedding date as there is no use meeting an entertainer to find out they aren’t free when you need them to be.

Wedding entertainment is a vital part of a wedding day and so finding someone within your price range who you can trust will make your day even more special. Whilst there are so many options out there, you should always start planning early to avoid disappointment.
