Wedding Statistics

*After the wedding…

72% of all Brides say they would have spent more time choosing their reception entertainment.

Almost 100% say they would have spent more of their budget on the entertainment.

During wedding planning, Brides say their highest priority is their attire, followed by the reception site, photographer and caterer - reception entertainment is the least of their priorities. Within one week after the reception, 78% of Brides say they would have made the entertainment their highest priority!

When asked, 81% of guests say the thing they remember most about the wedding is the entertainment.

65% of all couples that chose a band to entertain at their wedding reception, said, if they had to do it all over again, they would have chosen a Disc Jockey (DJ).

A reception is by definition an “Entertainment” function. Don’t cut corners on the Master of Ceremonies!
