1. Think big<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

There\u2019s no harm in going all out \u2013 after all, it is your one BIG day! Why not add some height to your drinks reception with stilt walkers to mingle with your guests and create real buzz. Or, and this is the ultimate in big \u2013 hire a Giant Snow Globe. Yes, one does exist and yes it is absolutely awe inspiringly amazing and quite possibly the most romantic entertainment you will ever see!<\/p>\n

2. Surprise<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The most common surprise wedding entertainment is singing waiters, which always go down really well but why not add a twist with surprise singing policemen or firemen. Or add a subtler and unexpected surprise with living statues \u2013 they look so real your guests would never know they weren\u2019t until they get a shock tap on the shoulder!<\/p>\n

3. Turn up the heat<\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

Book a fire show during your evening reception – the danger element and stunning visual display is 100% guaranteed to impress all your guests and leave them with a unique experience and an everlasting memory.<\/p>\n

4. Augment your theme<\/h1>\n


\n<\/strong>If you are having a theme to your big day, then why not really bring it to life with entertainment? For a 1920\u2019s theme, hire some flapper dancers to ignite the dance floor shenanigans. Or, if you are considering a vintage theme, book a barber shop quartet to add an authentic element.<\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

5. Unique and Quirky<\/h1>\n


\n<\/strong>You know what it\u2019s like with a close group of friends \u2013 weddings have a snowball effect so you end up attending at least 2 -3 a year. Make sure yours stands out from the crowd by adding some unique entertainment such as a living table to serve your reception drinks, a balloon boutique to add a splash of colour or a living tree for a great quirky twist!<\/p>\n

6. Celebrity<\/h1>\n


\n<\/strong>If your budget doesn\u2019t stretch to the real thing then leave your guests second-guessing with a celebrity lookalike\u2026 They are so close to the original it will take more than a double take to work it out. Have David Beckham crash your evening reception, or Gordon Ramsey critic your wedding breakfast!<\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/h1>\n

7. Band with a twist<\/h1>\n


\n<\/strong>Lull your guests into a false sense of security with your jazz band all set up but when they start to perform, instead of the jazz standards they launch into a quirky rendition of Crazy in Love or The Ace of Spades!<\/p>\n

 <\/strong><\/p>\n

9. End you day in style<\/h1>\n


\n<\/strong>You want to leave your guests wanting more and give them something to remember the amazing night before by\u2026 The best way to do this is with sore feet!
