Ideas for wedding receptions
If you’re searching for country wedding ideas because you live in, or the venue is in the countryside, you may well be holding the wedding reception in a marquee wearing a wedding barn. (If it’s a standard wedding venue or hotel that happens to be in the countryside, and your options would be the same as for any other wedding.)
If your wedding is the marquee, and
string quartet is one possibility, but you have to be extra careful with the
positioning of musicians because marquees are acoustically very dead and can
easily absorb most of the sound of the string quartet. Careful positioning of
the quartet so they are from all tables, (i.e. not stuck in a far corner), and
positioned on hard flooring if there is some available, such as the dance floor
for the evening disco, will ensure that they can be heard properly. Another
country marquee wedding idea is to have
a jazz band, which shouldn’t have any problems being heard in the marquee
because they will use amplification, and the amplification can be turned up to
compensate for the sound absorbing qualities many marquees.
Perhaps the country wedding entertainment that has the greatest affinity to the countryside is to have a ceilidh or barn dance. Folk music has many of its roots in farming communities, and hiring a ceilidh band for your country wedding reception dance will give your well-balanced event.
Perhaps, if yours is a country wedding reception, it will be held in a barn. The acoustics of barns are usually quite good, so they’ll be no problem for the string quartet to be heard. And of course, in a barn you should have a barn dance. Whether it is a rustic barn, with hay bales, (either an American barn dance band or an English barn dance band would go down a treat), or an upmarket renovated wedding barn, a barn dance fits perfectly to the occasion.

Whatever it is, the band will be delivered to you on the day, no assembly needed, they don’t come flat packed, they come fully assembled and ready to go! If you’re looking for simple parties ideas, then the same applies. My slave away trying to think of all sorts of complicated entertainments is involved you in a lot of work. Booker band, hire a barn dance band or jazz band from the Midsummer music agency, and make life simple for yourself.
