1 “Thank you so much for organising everything for us and making the process so enjoyable and seamless. I never worried about a thing in regards to the entertainment, but it certainly exceeded expectation!” - Jo Jennings, Wedding Client Ceremony Entertainment Having live music for the processsional, recessional and signing of the register always adds an extra special layer to your day. As well as the traditional options - harpists, string quartets and sopranos - we also have more contemporary options such as singer-guitarists to welcome your guests and ensure a sense of occasion throughout. Furthermore, we can also provide a vast selection of international performers should you or your partner wish to reflect your cultural heritage. From sitar players and Cuban guitarists to an Italian folk trio, we have a multitude of options to commemorate your wedding ceremony and make it personal to you.
3 Post Ceremony Entertainment While photographs are being taken it’s a nice idea to provide your guests with something to keep them occupied and entertained. A strolling performer – like a magician or silhouette artist – works as an effective icebreaker between members of the party who may not have met yet and ensures that the jovial spirit of your wedding maintains its energy throughout. Alternatively, you could go a little more unique with a fun act that nobody will have seen before, like our human hedges Living Topiary.

6 Wedding Reception Entertainment There is often a slight lull ahead of the wedding speeches so strolling entertainment such as magicians, caricaturists etc to keep people occupied and to help break the ice is always appreciated, while lively background music across a variety of genres including jazz, classical and contemporary also works well. This is also a chance to seek out other quirky and unusual options such as a quizmaster, who will keep the room entertained with a quiz about the happy couple.

After-dinner Entertainment (Stage Acts) If you’re looking for something that is unusual, surprising and exciting for your wedding, why not consider having a staged cabaret style act. Magicians, circus performers and dance troupes can be utilised to wow the crowd. Other forms of music can also work wonderfully - an excerpt from an opera or a virtuoso classical recital can be a great way to make your wedding celebrations really stand out.
9 After-dinner Entertainment (Bands and DJs) And then to the dancefloor! Any of our acts can learn your choice of song for the first dance if requested and we have all types of band to suit your budget, ranging from a tight four piece party band to a traditional Ceilidh band right through to an 18-piece showband. If you don’t have the space or budget for a live band, we also have a number of DJs on our books all of whom are professional, experienced and can bring their own high quality equipment.
10 “The band was epic! One of the best groups I’ve seen and they definitely had everyone up on their feet” - Trent, Kew Gardens
Extras We can provide pretty much any type of wedding entertainment that you can think of. We can offer you photobooths or photo backdrops to ensure that guests go home with great memories of the day, or children’s entertainers to keep those noisy kids happy. A digital graffiti wall is a great way for everyone to get creative together and for the foodies we can offer popcorn carts, cheese stations or churros for a little South American flavour. If you want to get really futuristic, why not book our Mist Orbs that pump out flavoured edible vapour like it’s the year 2060. You name it, we can do it.
