    What were you thinking of if you don't want a band?

    Think that only leaves a DJ doesn't it?

    Or did you mean entertainment such as dancers, magicians etc?

    We;re using a company called 'get wed' they do all sorts really, we're only using them as a dj, but they also do kareoke and other things! They are not badly priced either :)

    we're hiring a jukebox from this site http://www.digitaljukeboxhire.co.uk/ for £220. We've chosen to also have the lights which added another £60.

    Not sure how MSE it really is, but to be honest i couldn't be bothered with trying to find a decent dj, and we get this for the whole 24 hours.

    We're looking at having a fire performer from here http://www.spinoffevents.com/

    They've quoted me £180 to have one person do a total of 1.5 hours performing, which can be broken down however I want so 3 x 30 mins etc. They can do fire performing,
    close-up magic, stilt walking, contact juggling, human statues etc, so I'm thinking of having a fire poi show first, and then have them go round doing magic tricks and contact juggling in the evening.
