We don't dance. Do you have suggestions for fun entertainment for my wedding? -Ali, Rock Hill Bride

Whether you dance or not, your guests may, so keeping the music alive at your events will help to create atmosphere. However, we hear you and understand that not everyone wants to cut a rug at their wedding reception, rehearsal dinner, etc.

Do keep in mind, engaging your guests to keep them entertained is very important! You want them to stay and celebrate with you and you can do that in your own style.

For the bride and groom who are open to lending some humor to the party, a caricature artist provides truly unique and customized entertainment. Joel Kweskin of Caricatures by Joel stated, "Caricatures are a whole new way to entertain and excite a wedding crowd. From drawing the guests live, for a very special take-home remembrance of the event...to a Sign-In Board of the bride and groom, engaged in some fun activity that not even a photograph can capture." This interactive entertainment is not only fun, but makes your guest feel privileged to have a work of art created just for them...it's a great way to keep them entertained and as Joel mentioned it makes for an excellent wedding favor!

Consider hiring a comedian or having your DJ set-up karaoke for those guests who like to have a laugh at themselves...Also, many people enjoy watching live music - hire a cover band. Those that want to dance can and those who don't, can enjoy the show. I didn't want to have a dance party at my wedding reception either. Instead, I hired a pianist to play my favorite jazz, classical and pop tunes. It was an elegant back drop for an evening spent in conversation with my loved ones. Casinos are a fun interactive entertainment concept. Book a celebrity look alike performance or depending on your budget book a real celebrity entertainer...

The main thing you want to remember is to select entertainment based on your personal style and those attending. What ever you choose will only be as fun as those that attend. So make your guests feel special by offering a truly memorable celebration unique to you!
