FLOWERS 81 ENTERTAINMENT Our guide to wedding entertainment for memorable weddings When creating memorable nuptials, it’s vital to keep guests entertained throughout the day, from when you walk down the aisle to dancing the night away. With so many fantastic companies out there, we’ve selected some of the best entertainers to help inspire. DON’T STOP THE MUSIC Hiring a DJ is the perfect way to keep celebrations going throughout the evening! Meeting with your supplier beforehand allows you to discuss special requests and key songs for the event, ensuring the music reflects your style and sets the tone for a memorable celebration. It helps you review the event timeline and essential announcements, providing a smooth and worry-free night. Including a request form with RSVPs allows guests to suggest songs, creating a fun and inclusive atmosphere.

Imagine the look on everyone’s faces as you glide across the dancefloor with grace and precision, showcasing your love and commitment to each other through the art of dance. Whether you choose a classic waltz, a sultry tango or a fun and upbeat swing dance, working with a professional dance instructor will ensure you both look polished and coordinated. BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE LOVE IS IN THE AIR Imagine walking down the aisle with a beautiful white dove released into the sky, symbolising love and peace. Have adorable alpacas greet guests as they arrive, adding a touch of whimsy to the occasion. Set up a petting zoo with friendly rabbits for guests to interact with, creating a fun and interactive atmosphere. With these furry and feathered friends by your side, your wedding day will be truly unforgettable and one-of-a-kind.

During this time, they've entertained guests at approximately 600 weddings and pioneered the popular Mumford and Sons style wedding band trend. Their repertoire includes lively folk-style covers of well-loved party hits. In addition to this, they can provide a fully electric band experience featuring 90s dance mashups, sing-along classics, and fantastic party anthems. Member Chris Powell says, “We have witnessed successful and less successful wedding receptions. Our recommendation to get people dancing is to kick off the first set with a first dance. If you feel nervous about slow dancing in front of your friends, rest assured that they'll be too busy expressing their love for you. You can always invite your wedding party to join in after a minute.” Mister Kanish ensures that the music never stops and that each song is delivered with a unique touch. Moreover, they offer a range of band sizes, from a standard quartet to a 10-piece ensemble complete with horns and additional vocals.
