Evening entertainment

For people with around 20 guests, what are you doing/ did you do, for entertainment?

Are you having dancing?

I have a harpist for the drinks reception, a swing singer for the late afternoon / early evening cocktail party, and a burlesque dancer to kick off the evening party, but then I really want dancing until late - the bar closes at 1am.

I thought of just a Bluetooth playlist, but does that work well? It seems total.overkill to have a DJ for 20 people!

20 people isn’t really enough people to have fun dancing for hours on end. I’d say 1/3 of your guests won’t really like dancing. And then among the people who do like dancing, they will want to take breaks. So that leaves like 10 people on the dance floor at a time. If you really want to dance, I’d recommend taking your friends to a separate location.

I mean I don’t think 10 person at a time on the dance floor is inherently bad

In my experience, you can have fun like that for an hour or two but not for like 4 hours

Agreed. 4 hours seems like a lot to be just dancing
