For your evening entertainment, a DJ is often the least expensive option. They can offer impressive lighting and flexibility in the tracks they play and cover long periods of time. Live bands are another good option; they can provide high-energy, engaging performances of songs well-known by your guests. Most bands offer some form of DJ service to go alongside their live sets, so it's possible to have the best of both worlds from just one provider. Smaller acoustic groups can be an excellent way of accompanying your ceremony, drinks reception or sit-down meal. Many bands can also provide this service, although there are plenty of great stand-alone acoustic acts. Other options for your afternoon include the more traditional string quartet or harpist, but you could also consider things such as a brass, jazz or barbershop group for something a bit different and fun. Don't forget the giant Jenga, magician, mini golf, bouncy castles and more for more afternoon entertainment!
