Alternative Wedding Entertainment

Postby Cufflinks » Thu May 27, 2010 12:47 pm

Hi everyone

Im looking for ideas for alternative wedding entertainment when the band will be taking a break. I was looking up different dance acts & break dancers caught my attention, but the acts I have looked into are just not what im looking for. I was thinking along the lines of Diversity in Britians Got Talent last year, they were excellent.I may be setting my sights a bit high but could anyone make some suggestions, they dont necessarily have to be a dance act just want something different to achieve the wow factor :ranting

Hi Guys,
I saw that you said you have booked Irish Dancers for the reception. Me and h2b were talking about doing this last night. But seeing as its only 2 months to the wedding, our budget is stretched pretty far now. How much do dancers cost?

Hi Guys I found this website http://www.galaxygroup.ie/about.asp
they do:
Balloon Modellers
Break Dancers
Caricaturists
Celebrity Appearances
Face Painters
Fire Breathers & Eaters
Fire Performers
Hypnotists
Jugglers
Magicians
Nightclub Dancers
Samba Drummers
Snake Charmers
Stilt Walkers

I have emailed them to enquire about prices. I will let you know what they say. I emailed two places about fireworks and the price is €1500 upwards.
