Ding-ding, can you hear that?
It’s the sound of your wedding day jingling on your doorstep! The day you've always dreamed of—the day when you and the love of your life are finally bound into holy matrimony.

And one way to do that is with epic wedding entertainment ideas, the likes that most haven’t experienced yet. Here are 31 unique ideas on how to entertain your wedding guests.
Did someone mention forever? Well, you can have it forever now if you hire a live painter who will capture the essence and emotions of your wedding on canvas.

Combine it with an audio guest book, a new and trendy guest book idea, and your guests will enjoy themselves.
How about some folklore? If you want to set a romantic and rustic tone, feel free to go with a folk trio playing melodic tunes during your cocktail hour or reception.
Romance never goes out of style. It can melt even the coldest of hearts and make even the darkest of skies turn a little bluer. Consider hiring an acoustic duo to serenade your guests with their beautiful music for an intimate and soulful ambiance.
Enhance your wedding experience by choosing a live band over a DJ. The vibrancy a live band brings to your wedding is unparalleled.

Picture glasses stacked high in a gravity-defying pyramid, champagne cascading down like liquid crystal, and the clinking of glasses echoing with joy.
It's a showstopper, but beyond its beauty and grandeur, a champagne tower symbolizes togetherness and celebration. Place it at the entrance to your wedding, at the cocktail reception or keep it until the reception; no matter where it's displayed, it will be a crowd-pleaser.
La vitta es bella, and so is your wedding day! The ideal method to add a dash of wonder and whimsy to your event is to include a gelato or pizza cart. Imagine visitors enjoying luscious pizza slices or relishing creamy gelato varieties as the evening progresses.
