Top 6 Wedding Entertainment Ideas in North Wales
So you have your venue, photographer and possibly Videographer and now is the point you want some entertainment for your big day. Whether that be in the form of a live band in the evening, some Magic in the daytime or even a selfie mirror for some wacky guest shots.
Depending on what you have planned for the wedding already, some entertainment can go a long way and have your guests talking about your wedding for years. It’s also something to rewatch in your wedding film or pictures and get all of those memories flooding back to you.
From experience shooting weddings as a North Wales wedding videographer, weddings go very quickly for the couple, however, depending on the length of the day, weddings can be monotonous if there is too much lull time. This can usually be after the ceremony and then waiting for the wedding breakfast. Guests normally catch up with friends at this time, but to have some live music or a magician walking around can really create an atmosphere of joy for the day.
The Pedal Tones are a music agency that supplies 3-4 Piece bands specialising in indie rock and pop. Starting in 2017 Tony and Tom decided to start a wedding band and give it their all. Quickly growing in the North Wales and Cheshire area as the most sought after band, they decided to expand the business by supplying multiple line ups.
Recently they have also added an Ibiza Sax and Bongo option to really get the party started for your wedding. This would involve 3×30 minute sets of live music and then a DJ in between their sets to keep the dancefloor full. If you want some chilled acoustic music for your drinks reception or wedding breakfast, they have the option of a solo,duo or trio acoustic acts to entertain your guests.
Lastly, they now have the option of a folk line up. This would involve hearing all your favourite covers but with a folky twist. Think mumford and sons but they only play covers. With a multitude of options you’ll be sure to find the right act for your big day. You can get in touch with them below:

Gatling Magic is based in North Wales but is also willing to travel within the UK to ensure you have a magical wedding. I’ll stop with the magic punny references. I’m sorry.

I really do hope this article has given you some inspiration to have the BEST wedding entertainment in North Wales on your big day. Everyone of these acts/services will make your wedding one to remember and really bespoke to your day. The last bit of advice I would give is that you can have too much going on, so having two acts on at the same time can take away from the magic of what they do individually. So if you have live music for your evening, maybe don’t have a magician at the same time.
