Finding good wedding entertainment is an art form. Choosing your wedding entertainment can make or break your wedding. Not that you should worry about what your guests think, after all it is your wedding, but you also want to make sure people do enjoy themselves. A wedding should be memorable and unforgettable and that is where your entertainment comes into play.
The first thing you need to consider is your musical content. Picking the DJ for your wedding can be crucial. What makes a good DJ is someone who just doesn't understand the music they play but also the people they play it for. An excellent DJ is someone who can add bass to music which does not normally have bass in it. A great DJ also knows when to talk and when to remain quiet and let the music speak for him. With a good jumping base people will get up and dance and that is the main job of a DJ is to get people up and on the dance floor.
The DJ also is a large part of the wedding entertainment by adding games and events in the music. With interactive songs and dances like The Electric Slide and the Hooky Pokey or even play the right music to inspire a Congo Line to form on the dance floor.
Some people have even included more than just musical entertainment for their weddings. Some have employed magicians or bird shows. A bird show is when a bird trainer releases a set of birds in the reception which are trained to perform aerial stunts and fly around the banquet room amazing the guests. A magician is there to perform feats or mystifying illusion and even interact with the wedding guests.
Some weddings have also used a standup comedian for entertainment. A good strong comedian can entertain a wedding party for a long time. They can call out among the guests and even get them involved with some of the magic acts. Basically whoever or whatever you employ for entertainment purposes you would want to have as an interactive part of the performance. People always enjoy feeling like they are a part of something.
While these forms of entertainment are not conventional they are more common than one would believe. All these can make a wedding fun and an everlasting memory for yourself and those who attend. Either way, a good wedding is one which uses entertainment which is out of the box.
