entertaina say:
The website is an entertainment directory that launched in 2015 and is run by professional musicians, passionate for live entertainment. Our aim is to make finding an act for your wedding quick, simple and hassle-free. There’s no need to sign up or register any payment details with the site. You simply view entertainer profiles, save your favourites, and contact acts directly through their profile to make an enquiry. Our directory is completely free to use and we do not charge or take a cut from any bookings made. Payment is made directly to the entertainers, ensuring you get the best possible price and do not incur any extra charges.
What different types of entertainment does Entertaina offer?
We have a whole host of entertainment, from bands, singers and musicians to jugglers, magicians and comedians! One of our latest acts is one of the world’s top foot jugglers. Educated by Juan Liu (Chinese State Circus, Cirque du Soleil), she uses her technical perfection and theatrical skills to create something unique and breath-taking.
In our opinion, how can live entertainment help to enhance a wedding day?
To us, live entertainment is everything. You really can’t beat it, from a magician performing the impossible and breaking the ice with your guests, to an eight-piece band getting your guests dancing all night long. Live wedding music can really add something special to your day. Nothing resonates louder than hearing your favourite melodies on an instrumental piano or quartet as you walk down the aisle, or a live band playing your first dance at the reception.
What are the benefits of couples arranging their wedding entertainment through Entertaina and how does your website help to make the process simple?
Entertaina.com has been designed to be super quick and easy to use. The entertainer profiles have everything you need to find the perfect act, including a biography, images, videos and mp3s as well as prices, recent clients, technical specs and reviews. For couples planning their wedding on a budget, Entertaina.com is a must visit, saving you up to 30% on agency and booking fees and giving you full control and contact with entertainers.
What sets Entertaina apart from other wedding entertainment companies?
It is run by professional musicians and website designers that are passionate about live entertainment and all things digital. The team has spent a lot of time and energy designing the Entertaina website to make finding entertainment as fun and easy as possible, and we believe that it is our modern, user-friendly website that sets us apart from our competition.
How does Entertaina select the bands and acts that it represents?
As an entertainment directory putting you in direct contact with entertainers, we allow all UK acts to register and create a profile to be listed on the site. This gives our users a great variety of performers to hire for their wedding day!
What advice does the Entertaina team offer to wedding couples to help them decide on what type of entertainment to have for their big day?
Choosing entertainment is really personal and each couple is different. A great place to start is to check out our ’10 tips for booking a wedding band’ article, which you can read here. These top tips will give you the advice you need to find and book the perfect wedding band with confidence, and avoid a lonely dance floor.
What type of entertainment would you suggest for couples wanting something a little different?
Singing waiters, caricaturists, silent discos, gypsy jazz bands and ceilidh bands are just a few fantastic options – these would certainly offer something unique to set your wedding apart from the rest!
What is the feedback like from brides and grooms that use your services?
The feedback we have had in the last six months has been brilliant! We have had a lot of compliments on how easy the website is to use and people love that they don’t need to register!
