There are loads of opportunities throughout your special day to include different wedding entertainment ideas that will bring an added element to the day and create a celebration that you and your guests will never forget. Why not add an element of entertainment to every aspect of your day and really keep the party going?

This post will give you a flavour of the different wedding entertainment ideas that we can create and plan for you, but keep in mind that all of these acts can be changed up and adapted to suit any specific part of your day…

Whether you’re walking down the aisle, entering your venue for the first time as a married couple or sharing your first dance, our bands will play the special songs that you want to hear. Wedding Bands are a hugely popular choice for entertainment and probably the most requested wedding entertainment idea. Bands are the ultimate crowd pleaser and we have a variety of award winning bands to suit your style and taste. Our modern pop bands The Event Band  and  Good Times are probably two of the busiest wedding bands in the country but we also offer a range of themed bands, swing, funk, 80s and tribute acts that can cater to your specific tastes as a couple.

The Event Band is an exciting new offering in our lineup, giving you the opportunity to create something extra special for your wedding entertainment. This experience gives couples the chance to tailor make the soundtrack of their wedding by choosing the lineup of music. Based around 4 singers and you the client can then pick and choose your own combination of musicians to add to the band and tailor make your own sound, catered to your taste.

The Event Band is not your stereotypical wedding band; this is wedding entertainment on a grand scale. Featured as the best wedding band in Ireland, The Event Band will work with you to plan and create an exciting opportunity to wow your wedding guests and create the ultimate entertainment experience on your big day.

The ceremony is where the celebration really begins and we’ll help you plan ceremony entertainment that reflects your identity as a couple. For your wedding ceremony, we have lots of  entertainment ideas that you can choose from. If you prefer a more classical sound you might like to opt for the traditional stylings of a piano and vocals or maybe even a string quartet for that added element of class.

Acoustic music is also a hugely popular choice among couples for their big day. We have a number of guitar and vocal accompaniment acts that can serenade you as you say “I do”. The wedding entertainment you choose for your ceremony will set the tone for your entire day so we’ll help you make the best choice and start on the right note.

For couples looking for that added special element, Electric Dreams is a great entertainment idea for wedding ceremony music that’s more upbeat and modern. The act consists of a trio of piano, guitar and two vocals to create a celebration sound for your wedding entertainment. Electric Dreams can create a sound that’s as modern or traditional as you like and really suits you both as a couple.

Drinks reception or pre-dinner entertainment is something that many wedding couples now opt for and we have plenty of wedding reception entertainment ideas for you to choose from. This can sometimes be the point in the day when wedding guests are forgotten about but we can help you plan reception entertainment that will keep your guests entertained while you steal some precious time to maybe take photographs or enjoy a few moments together as newlyweds.

We’ll assist you in planning wedding entertainment that carries your theme and ambiance through from your ceremony to your drinks reception and beyond. For example, Some Kind of Swing are a great option for merging the classical and the modern to create a sophisticated and jazzy sound while the summer stylings of Uke Box will bring that summer festival wedding vibe to your big day.

DJs are a staple in the wedding entertainment catalogue but we think our DJs have a bit more edge. Irish weddings are famous for keeping the party going late into the wee hours and with our DJs on the decks the party never stops.

If it’s a traditional deck spinning DJ you’re looking for we can provide that and we can also create a unique combination of DJ, saxophone, percussion or any other sound you’d like, to create a party piece that’s catered specifically toward your wedding celebration. Let’s face it, on your big day you want to hear the songs and sounds that you love and from pop to rock, hip-hop to rap and everything in between our DJs promise to keep the dance floor filled and the party going strong.

There are loads of ways to incorporate music and entertainment ideas into your wedding day to make memories and put a smile on everyone’s face. Singing waiters are a fun way to surprise your guests and keep the party atmosphere going straight through dinner. Our waiters are handy with a stack of plates but they also have the pipes to match and will enthral your dinner guests and bring something fun and quirky to your wedding entertainment. Sit back and enjoy watching your guest’s faces as they are served with a song.

Irish dancers and performers are a hugely popular wedding entertainment idea. Nothing says Irish wedding like a bit of jigs and reels. We have a number of totally Irish acts that range from the classic and traditional to a more modern Irish fusion. If you’re looking to add an element of Irish tradition to your celebration, we’ve a number of music and dance acts that will suit your tastes while also bringing traditional Irish entertainment up to date with a modern twist.

Many Irish weddings are now embracing the second day trend and turning their wedding into a two-day event and we don’t blame them. Who wouldn’t want their wedding day to last forever? Incorporating music and entertainment ideas into your second day is a great way to keep the wedding party atmosphere going.

If you’re looking to keep your guests entertained right the way through your celebration, all of our acts and performers can be adapted into the perfect day two wedding entertainment so the party never has to stop.

We love taking the stress out of your big day and we’re happy to use our expertise to plan every element of your wedding entertainment. We can look after all your lighting and staging needs in order to create the ultimate party atmosphere and make the most of the entertainment for weddings.

If you want to try something different for your wedding entertainment, we can work with you on a number of different staging ideas that will add a different element of excitement and wow to your day. For example, instead of the usual stage you might like to set your entertainment “in the round” with podiums dotted around your venue to create an interactive and immersive experience for your guests.

Expert Tips For Choosing The Best Wedding Entertainment Ideas

• Research different wedding entertainment ideas online. Look for reviews from past couples who have used the services and read through their experiences to get an idea of what might work best for your wedding.
• Ask friends and family members who have already had weddings what kind of entertainment they chose and why they went with those particular ideas. It’s a great way to get insight into what has proven successful in the past, as well as to learn more about what other people suggest when it comes to this important event.
• Think about who will be attending your wedding and consider how you want them to feel during the reception. Music is one of the most important elements of a wedding, so make sure you pick something suitable for all ages or divide up your music selection between a few different genres such as jazz, classical, and pop/dance music depending on the preference of your guests.
• Hire a professional entertainment coordinator if you can afford it—they will be able to provide expert advice regarding which ideas will work best for your wedding given your budget and number of guests present at the event. They are also better equipped to ensure that everything runs smoothly on your big day.
• Consider adding interactive elements such as photobooths or karaoke machines that can liven up any atmosphere and encourage guests to mingle with each other while having fun! Another great option is hiring live bands or DJs who are experienced in playing at weddings; these professionals can set up equipment and keep everyone dancing throughout the night with their upbeat sets.
