Choosing entertainment for your wedding can be very tricky. You want something that your guests are going to enjoy without being cheesy and making them feel awkward. Its also worthwhile keeping in mind the age ranges of your guests. For example, if you are inviting a lot of friends and family to your wedding who have children, those kids aren't going to find much interest in a live singer or musician. I went to a fantastic wedding once where there was a 'kids room' next to the main reception room where there was a kids disco and entertainers. Not only did this keep the kids occupied and happy but it gave their parents some peace and quiet to enjoy the reception. Smiles all round!
Very few people choose to go with the traditional disco DJ these days and opt instead for table magicians, live bands and even stand up comedians. When I got married I was looking for something a little different. Something that our guests would enjoy and remember, and that is why we booked Luisa Calvo. Luisa is a caricaturist who has carried out work for some very big names including Sir Trevour Macdonald, Richard Branson and Prince Phillip of Spain, and you can book her to do caricatures of you and your guests at your reception. Luisa's work is unobtrusive as she works her way around the room drawing the guests. Your guests have fun and enjoy the experience and comparing pictures (and don't worry ladies, Luisa is very flattering when drawing us girlies!). The caricatures are also a lovely little thank you gift from you to your guests for sharing your day. You can find more about Luisa's work on her website at http://www.wickedcaricatures.com/.
Ultimately your wedding day is your day and you should always choose the different aspects of your day that make you happy. You are (hopefully) only going to do this once and you want to make sure that the whole day is exactly as you want it, but if you are looking for something a little different, something unusual and fun, I highly recommend having a look at Luisa's website.
