Modern tunes from Ed Sheeran and John Legend are firm first dance favourites but there’s definitely a growing resurgence for songs from the 1960s at weddings… Who can resist a bit of Elvis?!

Music aside…

Bands, DJs, pipers and other specialist performers add so much fun and personality to a wedding day but there are, of course, other entertainment options.

Add to your guest experience with three of our favourites:

1. Magicians: A great way to break the ice at the drinks’ reception and keep people occupied if you’re having an extralong couple’s photo session, everyone will be talking about this long after your big day.

2. Caricaturist: If you’re struggling to think of wedding favours, hiring a caricaturist will tick that box while entertaining your nearest and dearest. Not just providing lots of laughs, your guests will have a unique souvenir to remind them of how fun your wedding was.
