How to choose the best wedding entertainment
Wedding entertainment - 10 ideas for an unforgettable party
Theme: wedding music, tips & tricks
The wedding is one of life's biggest and most memorable events. That's why it's important to choose the right wedding entertainment that creates joy, surprises and a party atmosphere that lasts all evening. At Limunt, as experienced bookers, we have helped many couples put together the perfect wedding entertainment for their big day. It can be anything from intimate music experiences in the church to grand shows with a larger musical set-up for the party. Here are 10 inspiring ideas to make your wedding unforgettable. Then you have a wedding with music and show.
Wedding entertainment ideas to suit you as a couple
When choosing entertainment for your wedding, it's important that this point in the day reflects you as a couple. What genre are you going for? Should it be classic and elegant? Fun and surprising, perhaps with audience participation? Or maybe a combination? Here are ten suggestions that can be adapted to any wedding.
1. Live music: How a band or DJ sets the right mood
A good band or a professional DJ can lift the party and get all guests - regardless of age - on the dance floor. At Limunt, we often find that brides and grooms choose a party band to create an energetic and inclusive after-dinner atmosphere, while an alternative, with an experienced DJ provides a perfect transition between different genres.
Expert advice: "Music is the common thread and mood setter throughout the wedding - from calm background music during dinner to pulsating beats late at night," says one of Limunt's bookers. "Professional musicians know how to adapt to the mood and volume to make everyone feel comfortable."
2. Acoustic singer or duo during dinner
An acoustic singer with guitar or a vocal duo can provide soft music during dinner that doesn't drown out the conversations, but still adds a calm, cosy and intimate atmosphere. This type of wedding entertainment creates calm and intimacy in the midst of the day's many impressions.
3. Magician who surprises guests
A magician is a great way to entertain guests during the reception or between courses. They can mingle around the tables and create laughter and amazement for children and adults alike.
4. Personalised speeches and creative touches
Consider coordinating funny and touching moments with the toastmaster so that they become part of the overall wedding entertainment. Videos, songs or quizzes about the bride and groom will bring smiles and personalise the party.
5. Photo booth or polaroid corner
A photo booth with fun props or a polaroid corner gives guests the opportunity to take home memories - while also serving as entertainment. It's also a great way to get informal photos of all the guests.
6. Comedians
Want to surprise your guests with a laugh? A comedian can deliver a short festive show to lighten the mood and get the laughter flowing. This type of entertainment works especially well between the main course and dessert.
7. Dance show or flash mob
A dance show can be both a visual highlight and a way to get guests involved. Some couples also organise a flash mob with friends as an unexpected surprise for their guests. It can be a fun way to really get the dance floor going after dinner.
8. Classical music during the ceremony
A string quartet or solo violinist at the ceremony can bring goosebumps and elevate the big moments to something special. Many couples choose a live version of their favourite song as entrance music in the church to make the moment even more special. See our solutions with wedding music Here. Classical music is a solemn, beautiful way to immortalise the day.
9. Fireworks or sparkle show
A well-planned fireworks show at the end of the wedding celebration provides a dramatic and romantic finale that guests will remember. Remember to coordinate with the venue and get the necessary permits well in advance.
10. DJ battle or Silent Disco
For something unconventional, consider a DJ battle between two different styles or a Silent Disco, where guests are given headphones and choose the music themselves. It's a fun and different experience that appeals to younger guests. Wedding party entertainment can be organised here.
Why professional entertainment is important
When it comes to wedding entertainment, it's not just the ideas that count - the quality of the performance is crucial. Professional musicians and performers know how to adapt to the mood and make sure the music is never too loud or too soft. As one of our experienced bookers says:
"Good wedding entertainment isn't about filling the room - it's about capturing the feeling the bride and groom want to create. It's about making their story and personality shine through on the day."
Personalise your party and make it memorable
When planning your wedding entertainment, remember: It shouldn't just be about entertaining, but also about telling your story as a couple. A well-chosen song, a personal touch or a surprise performance can be the moment you and your guests remember forever.

The most frequently asked questions for us!
The name Limunt originated as a contraction of the words Tove Music Entertainment. We have booked music since 2016 through the concepts Jazzkollektivet, Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc., but decided in 2022 to bring the activity under Limunt and create a better coherence and clarity of our many different offers.
We handpick our musicians from the great Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and German talent pool. In the administration, we all have a background as professional musicians in a wide range of genres. Through our large network, the Danish conservatories, jam sessions throughout the country and by constantly keeping a finger on the pulse of the Danish music scene, we can ensure a high level every time. We make a virtue of onboarding each individual musician so that expectations are aligned from the start. The musicians should do what they do best: play great music - then Limunt handles all the administration around each performance.
Payment will fall after your event. You will receive an invoice from our administration.
In most cases, it is possible to extend the playing time if you do not want the music to stop at the agreed time. However, as we only book professional musicians, there may be circumstances where this is not possible, for example if the musicians have another job later in the day, have an early job the next day or a voice that can't cope any longer. If you want to make sure you have the option to book an extra set of music on the day, we recommend that you arrange this with your Limunt contact so that both you and the musicians are aware of the option.
The prices we quote are in most cases inclusive of transport (to land bridges), VAT and engineering (up to 100 people).
We customise each specific offer - booking everything from a single solo musician playing a single song to live music over several days for larger events. Try our price calculator or contact us for a no-obligation quote.
We provide substitutes in case of illness, so you don't lose the music for your event. We have built up good procedures with our many musicians and have an action plan in case of illness. Our large catalogue of musicians means that in almost all cases we can find a talented replacement in a very short time.
It's hard to give a clear answer, as we book solo musicians, traditional party bands and full orchestras of 9-10 people. A traditional band of 3-5 people should have at least 3×4 meters to stand on. A solo musician can manage on 3×2 meters. However, there are many factors that come into play when it comes to space - so it's best to have a chat with your Limunt contact. A concrete example where the above rule does not quite apply is when booking a party band: here we at Limunt always recommend placing the music in the same room as the bar, as this way you gather the activity and the party in one place - and get more people on the dance floor! If there are not quite 3×4 meters to stand on, we still recommend placing the band at the bar, even if the musicians need to sit a little close, to ensure the good party!
Typically in sets of either 2 x 45 minutes or 3 x 45 minutes. But it all depends on the function of the music: whether it's background music, a beautiful feature or party music to get the party started. We provide everything from a single heartfelt song for the wedding to music for 10 hours during a larger event.
You are always welcome to make suggestions for the repertoire - that way we get to know your taste and try to include everything possible. However, we cannot guarantee to fulfil all your wishes. We are often in dialogue with customers who are very unsure about the repertoire - and we are here to help. By booking more than 500 jobs annually, we know what works for different events. Our professional musicians are also good at reading the audience on the day, which means that changes can be made to the setlist during the performance.
When booking an event with 1-3 songs for e.g. a wedding, we take a dialogue about what is possible - and in most cases we can meet your wishes.
The jazz concept Jazzkollektivet was what started it all in 2016. Then followed Popkollektivet, Strygerkollektivet etc. In 2022 we decided to bring all our concepts and booking together on this new site!
