Most couples getting married resort to a DJ and dancing as entertainment. Sure, you could do that, but it is so cliche. Instead, try a reception dinner and a show. It is wedding catering with a twist. The following examples should provide you with some ideas.
Renaissance Style
Royalty is what most weddings try to copy. After all, reception dinners came out of the courts of kings and queens. These dinners were meant to feed the thousands of guests that would come from afar and keep them entertained too. You can hire a specialty caterer that serves Renaissance faire food, including roast suckling pig, turkey legs, pheasant, and rose petal salad. Meanwhile, jesters, musicians, jugglers, and other entertainers present you with a show.
Hawaiian Style
If you are headed to Hawaii for your honeymoon, why not start the vacation a little early at your reception? Fire dancers, hula dancers, and other traditional Hawaiian acts can entertain guests while you feast on spit-fired pig, fresh pineapple, bananas, and coconuts, and a variety of other Hawaiian dishes. It is a feast for both your mouth and your senses.
Comedy Club Style
Catering enters a new adventure when you hire comedians to perform for a couple hours. Meanwhile, the caterers take pub-food orders and cook things up fresh to everyone's liking. Of course, there is a two-drink minimum for all adults, but you can decide if it will be open bar or you will cover the cost of everyone's two drinks.
Japanese Style
Kabuki performers entertain while your guests dine on sushi, sashimi, hibachi grill items, and imbibe saki and green tea. It is a cultural experience that leaves your wedding guests excited and fascinated. Anyone who does not want sushi or sashimi can stick to the live hibachi grill performance and meal. Japanese food is also incredibly versatile in that there are options for adults, children, vegetarians, and more.
All-American Style, a la Wild West
Caterers provide a thoroughly Western menu while actors perform scenes from Western shows such as Will Rogers Follies and How the West Was Won. If you are having a very country wedding, and holding it in a barn, this is a popular catering option that fits with your wedding theme. Book ahead so actors have time to prepare. You could also have an animated country western band perform as you enjoy barbecue food with all the fixings.
Talk with a wedding catering company to customize your menu and get food that matches your entertainment.
