5 Budget-Friendly Entertainment Options for Your Wedding Reception

Creating fun and interactive entertainment will make your wedding day memorable for all. While we can help with all of these by recommending local suppliers, we know that sometimes you need a more affordable and DIY option. Here are a few of our favourite ideas:


5 Budget-Friendly Entertainment Options for Your Wedding Reception


DIY Photo Booth

Set up a DIY photo booth with fun props for guests to enjoy, providing memorable snapshots of the celebration and creating interactive entertainment throughout the event.


For example, use a backdrop, a camera on a tripod, and a box of quirky props for guests to create their own fun photos.

Outdoor and Indoor Games

Incorporate fun games like giant Jenga or ring toss to keep guests entertained and encourage socialising, adding a relaxed and playful atmosphere to the wedding reception.


For example, set up a game station with lawn games outside or board games inside to keep guests of all ages entertained.

Live Music Alternatives

Create a curated Spotify playlist or hire a local musician for live acoustic music to set the mood without the expense of a full band, offering personalised entertainment that complements the wedding vibe.


For example, a carefully curated playlist can ensure your favourite tunes play all night, or a local guitarist can add a charming touch with live music.

Interactive Guest Book

Set up an interactive guest book station with creative prompts or a Polaroid camera for guests to leave messages and capture candid moments, providing a personalised keepsake for the couple.


For example, guests can snap instant photos and write messages on them, creating a unique and heartfelt guest book full of memories.

DIY Sweet Table

Create a DIY sweet table with a variety of sweet treats like cookies and nostalgic candies for guests to enjoy, allowing them to indulge their sweet tooth while adding a tasty, colourful, and eye-catching element to the reception.


For example, arrange jars of colourful candies and plates of homemade cookies for a sweet treat station that guests can visit throughout the evening.


These budget-friendly entertainment options can make your wedding reception enjoyable and memorable without breaking the bank.
