Wedding photo Booths
Photo booths are a great way to engage guests in silly antics that help keep them in the moment with capturing their own photos. They’re a great way to avoid seas of screens and phone camera quality images, as well as keeping guests immersed in the process with quirky pictures from your day.
For the vintage wedding enthusiasts, the Bygone Photobooth features Edwardian plate cameras, antique furniture, and vintage steamer trunks, to make for a niche and retro experience.
Live Musical Performance
What’s a wedding without your favourite tunes? Incorporate your favourite songs into your day by hiring a musician to perform them live!
This is a great opportunity to reflect on the music of your relationship; are you jazz bar frequenters? Adore a classic rock concert together? Perhaps a soft piano plays the soundtrack of your relationship?
For the acoustic or the retro couples, Jess the Musical Celebrant is a solo wedding singer. Jess offers either stripped-back renditions of your favourite songs, performed to high-quality acoustic tracks, or retro versions of the songs you know and love, reimagined in vintage-inspired jazz, swing, rockabilly or funk styles.
For the trad couples who are craving some lively traditional tunes, The Havering Ceilidh band are a fantastic option to get your guests on their feet!
Not sure yet about your musical choices? Making a playlist of your songs together is a great starting point for searching for what local musicians would best suit your day.
Tarot Reading
For the witchy wedding planners, hiring an intuitive tarot reader is a mystical way to elevate your event! Tarot is the process of interpreting archetypal cards to determine a person’s past, present, future, or answer a question they may have. This is an up-and-coming wedding entertainment and encourages guests to reflect and ponder on the cards’ wisdom.
Ellie Velvet is a renowned Edinburgh-based tarot reader who tailors costumes, props, and tarot card decks to align with the theme of your wedding.
DIY Craft Table
Sometimes a craft activity is all that’s needed to bring people together, which makes this a nice option for engaging any shy wedding guests. A crafting station where people can cut, glue, draw, and paint to their heart’s content is a great way for guests to create special mementos themselves.
This budget-friendly wedding entertainment option can be personalised to align with your wedding theme; perhaps your guests can paint portraits of each-other, or create abstract collages of the newlyweds. For nature-themed wedding planners, you could create a flower-crown creation station! This DIY wedding entertainment has endless possibilities!
Live Custom Poetry Performance
Looking for a more uncommon kind of performance at your wedding? Celebrants are increasingly offering poetry readings as part of their services, but what if the poem at your wedding was written specifically about your relationship?
Through carefully considered questions, Love Out Loud connects with your stories and creatively transforms them into a one-of-a-kind piece, typewritten for you to treasures. Your guests are also invited into this rewarding and intimate experience with a live performance at your wedding.
If you’re looking to engage your guests with a completely fresh wedding entertainment experience, then this is a fantastic option for you!
