Additional Entertainment
Entertainment at weddings normally starts with the DJ or maybe a wedding band. There is often a period of time after the ceremony where nothing much seems to be going on. The wedding party literally just hang about until the wedding breakfast or the reception itself. There are options to fill this often extended period of time and add a little entertainment for your guests. It is also best to keep the children occupied during important points of your day.
Giant Games 
Wedding Shoe Game 
Karaoke
With so many people coming together the last thing they want is loud overpowering music! We agree and understand. Your ideas and suggestions will be used to provide the correct balance.
Some audiences like a gentle introduction after their wedding breakfast. After the speeches, cake cutting, and first dances, the entertainment can start quite gently. We can build up the energy during the first hour as guests will respond better. We will always work with you to decide what is best at any particular time.
Alternatively, you may wish for a full-on wedding entertainment sensational party vibe. We can get the tempo moving early and keep it moving with your requested music and the requests of your guests.
Other services for your wedding reception
We are often asked to provide other services for our wedding clients. These include Karaoke, Giant Games, a Wedding Quiz, Silent Disco, and many more. To meet the demands of clients, we may hire trusted external suppliers. They will work to the same high standard as we do.
Karaoke
Ideally, Karaoke shouldn’t take up a lot of your evening. Karaoke can be a very useful addition to your wedding celebrations especially if this will get more of your guests involved.
Giant Games
There is already a short comment about garden games further up the page but here is a link to the page again.
Wedding Quiz
Typically when our wedding clients ask about a quiz they mean the Shoe Quiz. The Shoe Quiz is very popular and can be seen in many YouTube videos.
Your DJ will have the bride and groom on chairs back to back on the dance floor. Each will have one of each of their shoes in their hands. When asked a question by the DJ they will respond by holding up a shoe.
There is a list of generic question which can be used but this gets really interesting when the happy couple adds some of their own questions.
We can also provide a wedding quiz based on our Premier SpeedQuizzing system. Again we have many generic questions we can use but this is also enhanced with some contribution from our clients.
Silent Wedding DJ
By now, we are all familiar with the idea of Silent Disco. You may have seen this at a festival or elsewhere but what value can it have at a wedding?
An evening celebration is typically about 5 hours in duration. During that time, your DJ will entertain your guests with a variety of kinds of music to suit all of the guests. What happens when you have a large part of your audience which prefers a lot of R&B, dance, Old Skool, or any other genre of music. Well, simply put, your DJ is in a no-win situation because although some want to focus on their preferences you also have many family and guests looking for typical wedding music and cheese.
The answer is Silent Disco. Your DJ can have a different genre of music on 3 different channels. Channel 1 could be typical wedding music and channels 2 & 3 could change to best suit their own taste in music. That way everybody can hear what they like.

Wedding DJ or Band or both?
Some weddings have live music. We can arrange many different types of entertainment for you. We can provide a ceilidh DJ package, piper, pianist, string quartet, and much more.
A wedding DJ combined with a professional band is a fantastic combination for wedding entertainment. We have a selection of bands of all types to call upon. Depending on availability, we can provide that extra variety to your wedding reception. Get the relatives talking and dancing with new family members they don’t know… What a way to break the ice! Our DJ and live music option is fantastic value.
We work closely with any other providers to make sure everything runs as smoothly as possible. Some venues will serve a buffet right after, or in the middle of, the bands set. We will simply go into background mode until you and your guests are ready for the memorable experience you are about to witness.
The formats above are merely standard formats we encounter every single week. If you would like to do something a bit different, get in touch we are here to listen. We will fit into any plans or ideas you may have.
Flexible Payments
Many of our couples like to spread the cost of their weddings over a number of payments. It really is simple!
