What are some small wedding entertainment ideas?

For a small wedding, you want entertainment that feels personal and keeps the atmosphere relaxed. A photo booth with a few props is always popular, but you could also hire a caricaturist to draw guests as they arrive. Lawn games such as giant Jenga, croquet or boules work well outdoors and encourage mingling. A solo acoustic musician can play during the drinks reception, and later a DJ or small band can take over for the evening.

Interactive food stations, like a make-your-own sorbet cart or a marshmallow toasting pit, double as entertainment and refreshment. You could also ask a friend to run a simple quiz about the couple, or set up a guest book with a polaroid camera. If you have a small group, a storytelling circle or a shared playlist where guests add songs can be lovely. The key is to choose things that suit your venue and your guests, and to keep the schedule flexible so no one feels rushed.
