Shehnaai, a DJ, an orchestra with wedding guests dancing to it-If you are utterly bored of these typical wedding entertainment ideas and wish to have something unique and different to set your wedding apart, then you are going to love these alternative and unique entertainment ideas.
Alternative Wedding Entertainment Ideas
Karaoke– This might be a new concept in Indian weddings, but it is a sure-fire way to get your guests into the spirit of the celebrations. Most people love to sing in their bathrooms; so lip syncing to popular English and Hindi hit songs is bound to add great deal of excitement to the wedding. Note: Do take into account the demographics, age and taste of your guests to make this work.
Magician– A magic act may be fit for kids’ birthday parties, but, off late, many bridal parties are also known to include them in their wedding entertainment. Experienced magicians can roam across the length of the wedding hall performing different acts- a fantastic way of getting guests from the bride and groom’s sides to bond with each other.
Stand-up comedian– Stand-up comedian is another dynamic addition to a wedding; one that is sure to have your guests in splits. Make sure that the chosen comedian selects a good clean act that goes well with all the guests. Note: Select your wedding stand-up comedian at least 6 months before your wedding, since the more experienced ones are booked up to a year in advance.

Photo booths– Kids and adults alike are going to love jumping in your photo booths to have funny pictures taken. You can choose from traditional photo booths or the modern digital ones that show the pictures immediately on the screen. Digital photo booths also allow you to share your photos online immediately Many Indian wedding photographers can also work with you to help set up a photo-booth. Make sure you have a technician available at all times to help guests take photos and also provide props like goggles, hats, scarves etc to add to the fun. Guests can take home a few of these photos and leave some behind the others for you to add to your wedding pictures.
Readings from a movie, book or literature and poetry– This is a great idea that must be assigned to an experienced wedding entertainer. You could also turn it into a drinking game for an interactive twist.
Casino– Rented Blackjack or scrap tables, roulette wheels or slot machines etc can be a great addition to any wedding. You could even have a Bingo game, in case your family is not too fond of Gambling activities.
Circus– we are not suggesting that you set up a large circus tent at your wedding venue. However, you can certainly include flame throwers, fire/sword swallowers, burlesque dancers, jokers, jugglers, acrobats and swing dancers. Circus entertainment is likely to keep people of all ages entertained. Note: Make sure your wedding venue allows these activities.
Others– Tarot card readers, Caricature artists, henna stations and other cultural entertainers are some other unique and alternative wedding entertainment ideas that are sure to be appreciated and applauded by your guests.
