How to Choose Wedding Entertainment
Of all the choices you have to make about your wedding, one of the most important is the entertainment. It’s a major part of any event or party, and plays a big role in how much you and your guests enjoy your wedding. It also happens to be one of the more fun parts of wedding planning, so you might be pretty excited to make this decision.
Of course, like all wedding planning choices, there are a lot of considerations and even more options when it comes to wedding entertainment, Gold Coast or elsewhere. So to help guide you in the process, here are some questions you should ask and things you should look out for when searching for and hiring your wedding entertainment.
How Do You Want Your Guests to Feel?
The number one guiding question you should keep in mind when you make choices about your wedding entertainment is this: “how do you want your guests to feel at your wedding?”. What’s your ideal atmosphere? Do you imagine an elegant evening with subdued music, romantic slow dances, and calmness? Or do you want your wedding to be as exciting as a circus with bright lights, loud music, and entertainment at every corner? Do you want your guests to feel relaxed, dreamy, and sentimental? Do you want to wow them with thrills and rowdy debauchery? Any answers you might have to these questions are valid, it’s just about choosing what’s right for you and your partner.
