No band/DJ in the evening - entertainment ideas?

Acoustic band? - Ceildh/folk type and check they do acoustic...

string quartet/larger group.

A violinist and / or pianist can provide a wide-ranging mix of music (more than a string quartet)... duelling pianists can also be very entertaining, without the need for amplification!

I would suggest something a bit interactive. I regularly hire lighting to a Fun Casino, and they appear to be very busy with Weddings.

Ultimately, it will depend on your guests and the style she's looking for.

Thanks all - some really good ideas, I love the idea of duelling pianists!

Anniepie, there are a number of reasons why it's not allowed, partly because of the nature and partly because of the location of the venue. I don't think it is something that particularly bothers her and her H2B - they chose the venue as it is an important place to them and so they will work around the limitations I'm sure.

Thanks again ?

Quiz for each table- last wedding we were at, each table were given 10 questions & the most interesting/funny were read out & the winning table won a prize. They were all wedding related questions about the quirky things they do in different cultures/countries. Very entertaining & funny.

I too would think acoustic music of some sort to be the best option

Ooh I love the idea of a caricaturist! I am making a note of all of these though as obviously not up to me, just ideas generation for her ?

I expect they will have non-amped music of some kind. She did mention having a string quartet earlier in the day so they might ask them to play in the evening too.

Thanks ?

A magician is great entertainment, live, interactive, engaging. Like you said gathering small groups, and entertaining people. I specialise in close up magic and it's becoming increasingly popular at weddings. It also fits in well with other entertainment such as musicians or caricaturists.
