Time to celebrate Keep loved ones entertained throughout the day with these talented businesses From DJs and bands to string quartets and magicians, the East Midlands is full of talented individuals passionate about keeping guests entertained throughout weddings. Keeping loved ones engaged throughout the day is vital when creating memorable occasions, especially as weddings can be long occasions. So, we’ve hand-selected companies to help the search and get guests talking for years to come for all the right reasons! From the little ones to grandma, there’s something for all ages to enjoy! ORIONTREE ALPACAS Everyone always remembers their wedding, but make it unforgettable for guests by surprising them with alpacas at your wedding! The impeccably behaved animals at Oriontree Alpacas will delight everybody while providing them with photo opportunities and a distraction while you’re busy elsewhere. The team offers customisable packages to get you started but can cater for pretty much any idea, from simple photo stars to ring bearers – you name it! Chief alpaca cuddler Dani Kent says, “As a not-for-profit, you’ll find our prices are very affordable and don’t include a ‘wedding premium’ – our prices are the same no matter the job.” The team decided to share their love for animals by creating workshops and experiences that allow others to meet and learn about them. They operate as a not-for-profit, with every penny going back into the daily care and maintenance of the animals and farm.

The team has worked hard to transform a 1950s teardrop caravan called Pixie with a fully-fitted photo booth inside and striking retro looks on the outside to give your event that extra shine. The caravan rocks up to weddings and turns many heads! The sheer joy and laughter it creates are infectious; there’s never a dull moment when Pixie is about! Owner Becks Roberts says, “All you have to do is climb in with some awesome props and take home a photo strip to treasure forever!” Pixie may look retro, but her tech skills certainly aren’t! One touch of the screen inside will start a countdown from 5 with a live view to ensure you look as fabulous as possible! It then automatically counts down for the rest of the photos, so no faffing with buttons or moving once you are poised and ready for the snaps! Once finished, it will automatically print your photos next to the free guest book, ready for your guests to stick in one copy and keep the other for themselves.
