Nothing makes an event more spectacular than having some great entertainment. Now, when we're talking about entertainment, I'm not referring to that fabulous live band or DJ, that you've already booked. I'm talking about some great entertainment taking place during dinner or the cocktail reception or your special event. It WOWS your guests and makes your wedding or special event truly memorable.
We've been lucky to partner up with some great entertainers who offer anything and everything from belly dancing and bollywood dancers to flamenco dancers and river dancers; rolling live tables and flame throwers to live statues and aerialist performers. The real question is: What are you willing to offer your guests? To provide a WOW factor, you want to make sure your live entertainment will match the overall theme of your event; matches your personality. For example: If your having an Asian inspired theme, then having a dancing dragons would be very fitting.
1. Be sure the venue has no restrictions on certain entertainment. For example: If you're looking to have some flame throwers or flame eaters, many venues may not allow it. So be sure to check with your venue before actually booking.
2. You want to make sure this type of entertainment will be appropriate for all ages. This usually falls under the category of belly dancers. We all love a fabulous dancer, but in our experience when scouting these dancers, we've seen professional dancers, and then the not so professional dancers. You want to make sure you hire a belly dancer who stays true to the art of the dance.
3. Please make sure you have seen their performance ahead of time and definitely request references; not just from previous clients, but from venues these performers have worked with in the past.
