Everybody loves live entertainment at a wedding. Fact. It creates ambience, sets the tone, brings the VIBES. Wedding entertainers have a very important job on your day of days – to make sure your guests are having a great time, and your d-floor is pumping so that you can just kick back with your soulmate and enjoy. No pressure. But thankfully (for all of us), these guys and gals are pros and have had more than a few spins on the dancefloor to know what works and what doesn’t. We suggest picking their brains in the lead-up to the big-day, and then letting them do their thing. They’ve got this!
Now, we know there are a lot of options to choose from, so we’ve done the hard yards and rounded up the best of the best, just for you. Whether you’re after an acoustic cover band to get your loved ones swooning, a vinyl-spinning DJ who will ensure the crowd is on their feet, or a saxophonist that has your guests raving for months after, we have something to appeal to all styles and needs. Without further ado, let them entertain you…
