Ok, huddle up, we’re going to tell you a secret… Sometimes weddings can be a little bit boring. There, we said it! But while the bride and groom are off posing for the perfect wedding photo, guests can sometimes get a little bit lost. Having the right face(s) to keep your guests entertained really can make your big day. And a good band, singer or entertainer can transform the mood and make yours the wedding everybody remembers.

Once again GoHen have gone in search of the ultimate crowd pleasers with this year’s 50 Best Wedding Entertainers.

Chris Piercy Magic – Magician

Surprise and delight your wedding guests in equal measure by bringing in Chris Piercy to perform his mind-bending tricks and illusions for your reception. Yes, the close-up magic is predictably brilliant with plenty of tricks up his sleeve to keep your nearest and dearest totally hooked, but what makes Chris really stand out is his showmanship and the bags of charisma he brings to each and every wedding.

Fun Casino Hire – Casino Hire

Give your wedding reception a touch of Gatsby glamour by having a Fun Casino complete with real chips, roulette spinners and croupiers. There are bound to be those amongst your guests who are known to enjoy the odd flutter as well as those who’ve never sat a poker table before, but soon enough everybody will be rolling the dice and chasing their next big win.

The Best Singing Waiters – Singing Waiters

Add an extra WOW factor to your wedding reception as your waiters suddenly burst into song halfway through the wedding breakfast. The award-winning Best Singing Waiters have performed for over 1,000 weddings, served 225,300 courses and have West End credentials. So, you can bet that they’re as professional as waiters as they are as performers. They’ve performed for the likes of John Bishop, Kevin Bridges, Kevin Keegan, Danni Minogue and the cast of Hollyoaks.

Rockaoke – Wedding Karaoke

With Rockaoke you can be a rock star at your own wedding. This karaoke band kicks off their gigs just like any other act, before inviting your guests on stage to take over vocal duties. It’s a great twist on usual bands and something no one will be expecting, there are always a few good singers in every group. And who knows, you could discover that the Best Man had the X Factor all along. This is something as different as it is special.

Putter Fingers – Crazy Golf

We’re huge fans of crazy golf and Putter Fingers in particular, we now firmly believe that the gap between the speeches and the DJ setting up should be exclusively filled by crazy golf and lots of it. The friendly PF team will provide a funky (and crazy, obvs) golf course for your wedding guests as well as score cards so the more competitive of you (we’re looking at you bridesmaids) can record your scores.

Silent Noize Events – Silent Discos

Shhhh! You really have never seen a disco like this before. Each guest gets 3 channel headphones to wear and then they can choose what music to listen to. This creates some totally hilarious moments as you could be dancing with a handsome groomsman to the smooth sounds of Prince, while he’s flinging limbs to the wide-screen rock of Green Day. It’s all the fun of disco, with none of the pain of Jedward.

Traditional Fairground Co. – Fairground Rides

Give your wedding reception some vintage flair with the Traditional Fairground Co.’s amazing range of attractions and game stalls from yesteryear. It’s a great way to entertain adults and younger guests alike with classics like the coconut shy and the hook-a-duck, while the groom and his Best Man can find out who has more machismo with the 14ft high striker. Who could see a funfair at a wedding and not start smiling?!?

The Deltatones – Wedding Band

Finding a wedding band to suit all your guests really is a tricky task, it’s certainly rare to find an act like The Deltatones who do offer something for everyone. The award-winning duo of Rob Harper and Steve Stroud can create a full day of entertainment with soft acoustic tracks for the afternoon, leading into a rocking headline set and even a night of disco tunes to keep the party alive into the early hours.

The Live Piano Experience – Duelling Pianos

We might not be Simon Cowell but in our opinion this is the UK’s best duelling piano act. We love seeing Mark and his opponent of choice going head-to-head in a musical battle to get in the last note. What makes The Live Piano Experience really stand out is the sheer energy levels they maintain for 3 HOURS of live music! They’ll even take requests from your guests and keep everyone spellbound with their fast moving fingers.

The Salvation – Wedding Band

The Salvation say that they’re “Probably the best wedding band in the world” and we’re certainly not about to argue. This supergroup never fails to pack out the dancefloor and have a repertoire of songs that spans FOUR generations, so you can expect everything from Motown hits to modern day chart toppers.
