Plus wedding reception entertainment is the perfect ice breaker for all of your guests to mix together, and it is also a great way to split up the formal side of your wedding.

5 Fun Wedding Reception Entertainment Ideas
1. Silent Disco
Wow your wedding guests by hiring a silent disco for your wedding, this is a guaranteed way to get everyone singing, dancing and laughing on the dance floor all night long. Instead of the usual live band you can have 3 playlists available to play that suit everyone. Chuck in some old school for your grandparents, pop music for the younger ones, and a whole playlist dedicated to you and your partner’s favourite tunes.
This is the perfect wedding entertainment option is that has an early noise curfew and allows you to keep the music flowing through headphones. Guests that choose not to dance, can explore the capulet gardens of our wedding venue whilst they still participate in the same musical experience watching your other guests sing and dance to an array of music!
2. Karaoke
If you and your partner love belting out tunes at the local karaoke bar, bring the excitement to your wedding reception. Kick off the session as the bride and groom with a special performance and then open it up to your guests.
A Karaoke machine is the ideal wedding entertainment idea that persuades your guests to participate in your activities. It is also the perfect way to allow your guests to get to know each other. Those that attend can dedicate songs to the special couple or pick their favourites that they will absolutely love.
