Your Herts and Beds Wedding - October/November 2022 (Issue 94)

TIME FOR FUN Entertainment is one of the most important elements of your day. It creates individuality and a lasting memory of your wedding – plus, everyone wants to add the wow factor to their day. Rather than spending huge amounts on traditional wedding items, spend some of your budget to add some extra fun! What’s better than seeing your loved ones laughing in your pictures, plus your photographer will thank you for it too? This is your opportunity to add extra fun while bringing all your guests together for the perfect icebreaker. Whether it be garden games, a magician, singing waiters or any type of entertainment, be as creative as you can. We have a huge selection of fairground-inspired and pastel-coloured garden games at Dolly Dimples Weddings – all of which are handmade with weddings in mind. We can entertain loads of guests at one time, and our items are massive décor elements too. For the untimate package, we also offer candy floss and popcorn!

Look for bands or acts that offer an all-day music solution; this will make your big day so much easier to organise. Communication is essential and if the supplier doesn’t reply within 24 hours to an enquiry, they’re not serious! Go direct or tread carefully as agencies host and represent many bands that are all the same but with exclusive names. At least check that the singer you see in any video footage is the one you’ll get on the night. Finally, guests go where the bride is! So if you’re not going to dance, which isn't a crime, save your money and don’t book a band!
