Planning entertainment for your event can be difficult and confusing, with many options to consider. G.C. Entertainments, which has organised entertainment for over two thousand weddings and events, has carefully selected some of the finest entertainers in the UK all of whom are highly experienced and will enhance your event.
Entertainment can start from the moment your guests arrive at your event. You could have music playing during arrival of your guests for example a string quartet, or jazz band we can also provide novelty meet and greet personnel eg robots, look a likes (Basil Fawlty, Del Boy etc), close up magicians or where space allows, fire eaters, stilt walkers, silly waiters and other performers.
A pianist makes a very popular choice for reception/dinner music, most of whom will play from a large repertoire that can include any favourite tunes. Alternatively a classical guitarist makes for a very refreshing atmosphere with Spanish, Italian and contemporary tunes played in an unobtrusive manner. Another elegant instrument is the harp which has a unique and magical sound to enhance any occasion and can be accompanied by a flautist. We also have some superb jazz musicians available as solo, duo, trio, or quartet, playing smooth jazz classics for your meal and drinks.
For a slightly unusual idea a magician performing table top magic at your guests tables can transform a long meal into an entertaining and enjoyable experience, or a children's entertainer to amuse during the speeches. Also available are our caricaturists who will create amusing sketches of your guests leaving them with a lasting memento.
To help your event go smoothly we suggest a toastmaster, who can make the event run well, and add an extra touch of class, bring order and efficiency to parts of the reception and allow you to relax and enjoy yourself.
For the evening the World of music is at your feet, with a huge selection of highly experienced bands playing music from the 1920’s to current chart music. A very popular choice is a Ceilidh (barn dance) band with a caller to both entertain and get your guests involved. Many bands play various styles and genres of music, the most popular being Jazz/Pop, Soul, 70’s disco and 60’s to 00’s, and for a summer wedding how about a Caribbean or Salsa band? Another idea is tribute bands, performing your favourite artists music, eg ABBA, Cher, Tina Turner, Beatles, George Michael etc, also a favourite are swing/big bands playing the 20’s - 50’s classics.
For continuity and variety we recommend one of our excellent DJ’s, who will work sympathetically with bands, have suitable equipment, large selections of music, good personalities and will not clutter your room. For an entertaining theme why not try one of our casinos with a Blackjack and Roulette table with croupiers, using fun money of course.
