Looking to keep your guests entertained during your wedding breakfast? Here are some top ideas to create memorable moments while you eat.
Close-Up Magician

Caricaturist

Live Acoustic Music
A solo guitarist or small acoustic duo can provide gentle background music without overpowering conversation at your wedding breakfast. This is perfect for creating ambience while allowing guests to chat easily.
Table Games
Place wedding-themed word searches, crosswords, or trivia games at each place setting to keep guests entertained between courses. It’s an easy way of combating any lull in conversation as it’ll encourage them to chat to each other for help.
Table Bingo
Create bingo cards with likely wedding moments or speeches for each guest. Offer small prizes for completed lines. This will get your guests’ competitive juices flowing!
Quiz About the Happy Couple
Place cards with fun facts or quiz questions about you and your partner on each table. It’s a brilliant icebreaker and helps guests learn more about your love story.
Classical String Musician
A string quartet, violinist or harpist are all perfect additions to your wedding breakfast. It adds background music without being too intrusive as your guests eat. Create an elegant atmosphere with classical versions of modern songs
Polaroid Station
Set up a small station where guests can take photos between courses and hang them on a string with personal messages. After your wedding, you’ll have some amazing photos of your wedding day from your guests’ perspective.
Singing Waiters
Surprise your guests with secret waiters who burst into song. This unexpected entertainment always brings smiles and creates a major talking point at your wedding.
Children's Entertainment
If you have young guests, provide activity packs or hire a children’s entertainer to keep little ones happy during the meal. - A bouncy castle wouldn’t go amiss either, but maybe wait until after their food has digested!
