Finding Wedding Entertainment For Your Big Day

By Karina Frost


Some people like having DJs at their reception and other people like having live music. Wedding entertainment is really a big part of any reception. You want to be sure you do your homework before choosing one or the other. When you decide on a DJ or a band then you need to look for one that plays the kind of music that you want playing at the reception.

There is a lot of different music to choose from so you need to choose a style of music to be played then you have to decide how much money you want to spend on entertainment. When you set your budget you then have to find DJs and bands who will fit into your budget, then you need them to play for you.

You want to hear them play before you hire them because you never want to go by word of mouth. Some one may tell you this band is great and do not cost much and then you hire them without hearing them play and you could be quite upset and disappointed when they start playing at your reception.

If you don't know how to find performers for a wedding you can always hire someone that does it for a living. If you do decide to hire someone to find the performers you need to be sure they know exactly what you are want in a band or DJ. Let them know that once they find a few prospects that you would like to hear them play before you hire them.

This will save you time because you wont have to listen to several different bands and DJs you only have to listen to the ones that have already been picked by the person you hired to find your entertainment. You can not fit an eight piece orchestra or band into a small venue. If you have a small venue then a DJ may be the best option or maybe even a singer without a band. You have to make sure that you have room for who ever you decide to hire.

Another thing you have to be sure to do is check with your venue to make sure they have an entertainment license. If they don't have this license then you will not be able to have any type of entertainment. If the place has the license they need then you can hire performers. You could even choose to do something unique and have dancers instead of singers. The dancers could dance around the room while people are eating or just mingling.

You could hire ballroom dancers, salsa dancers, or belly dancers. Everyone will love watching the dancers while they are enjoying a meal. You could also choose to hire celebrity impersonators to keep your guest entertained. This would be unique and people would love it and talk about how unique and fun it was for a long time afterwards.

You should just keep in mind that this is your day and you hire the performer that you like. If you want dancers then hire dancers and do not worry that it is not what you would normally see at a reception. Hire an impersonator if you want. Just do what you would enjoy and what you think your guest will enjoy.
