Wedding Entertainment Ideas

At Jonny Ross Music we have been supplying entertainment for 1000s of weddings and events, with almost a decade of industry experience.

We supply a range of acts, from indie and rock bands, to Motown and soul groups, to the current wedding sensation which is the Saxophone and DJ package. 

We’re going to talk you through our top wedding entertainment ideas, helping you to choose what entertainment is right for your wedding. Make sure your guests have the time of their lives and make your wedding one to remember by browsing our wedding ideas.

The wedding reception is one of the most important parts of your wedding day and a DJ is the most popular type of entertainment for wedding receptions.

Our club-style wedding DJs have a wealth of experience and use only the best quality sound and lighting equipment for your reception. A lot of band packages offer a DJ as an add-on, so it is safe to say a DJ is almost essential for your wedding reception entertainment.

At Jonny Ross Music we provide our clients with a DJ request forum, giving you the chance to submit song requests directly to your DJ before the big day. You will liase with your DJ in the coming weeks before your wedding day, giving you the opportunity to discuss in detail any special requests you may have.

Our DJs are professional and reliable, so you should have no fear of a no show when the big day comes around, which is something many couples have panicked about when booking entertainment elsewhere.

Hannah Sultan – December 2019

“Kyle and Laurie DJ and Sax duo were amazing for our wedding! They listened to the style of music we wanted and made everything flow seamlessly, incorporating a mix of music for all ages of guests and even playing along with Indian dohl drummers. They were both really friendly and professional, and Laurie had everyone up dancing along to the sax with him. Highly recommend! Thanks guys!“

James Chueng – November 2019

“We had Northern House perform at our wedding. We had the best day! So many people commented how great you guys were. The set list was perfect and our first dance song was beautifully played. We wish your music could have gone on all evening. It really made the evening having the live performance – highly recommend.“

Chloe Sharp – April 2019

“We had Marc & Abi perform at our wedding a couple of months ago. From the beginning to end they were the most professional, accommodating, friendly and passionate act I have ever experienced. They retained their energy levels throughout the full day and night and gave 100%. They were engaging, they interacted with the crowd and the dance floor was never once empty! I can not stress enough the importance of the music/entertainment of a wedding, it sets the tone and the guests feed off that energy. Beyond expectations and I would recommend to anyone.“

You can create a truly intimiate atmosphere with our actoustic acts, who can provide both brackground and upbeat atmospheres for your wedding. Some of our acoustic acts can be upgraded to full bands for your weddings’ evening reception, giving you the best of both worlds.

Pick and choose your favourite acts for a day jam-packed with entertainment.

All of our wedding bands offer day-time acoustic packages on top of the evening entertainment. So, you can be serenaded as you walk down the aisle, followed by more music before your wedding breakfast, all before the wedding reception begins and the party starts!

You can book our Sax & DJ package for the full-day, offering a realaxed, café del mar vibe before your wedding breakfast, followed by the evening party. This is a super-cool way of getting your day going after the wedding ceremony.

Sarah Heritage – April 2019

“Colour Blue played our wedding in March 2017. They were brilliant from start to finish! Everyone said at the time how great they were with the sets & songs. The dance floor was full for the whole night! Rob & I were over the moon with how well the reception party went. They also learnt from scratch our First dance song too. Thank you boys!“

For a more traditional take on wedding entertainment take a look at our jazz bands.

Our jazz groups range from trios to 10-piece bands, playing standards from the Great American Songbook and covering your favourite pop songs in a swing style.

It really is a great way to impress your friends and family and bring a bit of sophistication to your wedding day. 

Mark A. Almond – April 2019
