Non DJ Entertainment options for a small venue (~50 guests)

I seen some people on here talking pub quizzes. Where are you based. There are loads of good choral and barber/barbie shop groups in our area.

I'd just play some background music and allow your guests to chat. They're grown-ups, they should be able to 'entertain' themselves, you shouldn't need a Butlins cabaret.

If you really want something, options include a short set from a singer/small band, magician, caricaturist, casino tables...

Have you thought about an Acoustic guitatrist/singer? Less intrusive but still a focal point for people

Hello

I've done quiet a few smaller weddings - 24 guests was the lowest! And sang some light background whilst everyone chatted - swing, rat pack, easy listening, love songs - and it workeed really well. It adds just a little something to the atmosphere, rather than just having the sound of chatting, and also adds a visual element to those who may want something to watch. Whilst I'm not singing I just play some background music, which can be songs of the bride and groom's choice if they wanted to put together their own play list.

Obiovusly I'm not sure of your location and dates, but let me know if you would be interested in finding out more.

James ?

I have done many events of the size you are having and close up magic always goes down well. have a look at my website, its in my signature.

We are not having a DJ either small intimate venue 50ish guest just ipod and sax player.

Funky I mis read your sax player comment. Funny what entertains my tiny little mind.

IPod and just a singer maybe if you're feeling flush.

Funny, I did the same when typing into google earlier, was somewhat confused by the results that came back!
