Nothing like a wedding to support a talented community of artists. Try one (or all) of these ideas which provide perfect entertainment for the cocktail hour!
Commission a wedding watercolorist, like Anne Watkins

Or from Deborah O'Connor? These silhouettes artist will attend your event and cut silhouettes of your guests. Fun!

Another great idea I discovered at a museum holiday festival this past Christmas...ask a student choir if they are available to perform at your wedding! See if there is a performing arts school in your area, especially one where kids need to audition to obtain admittance. The level of talent in these institutions will blow you away! We sat down to enjoy our eggnog and cheap cookies from the grocery store that passed as "refreshments" during the museum event and our jaws dropped at the sound of the middle school choir when they opened their mouths to sing us a few carols. Just call the school and get the contact information for the choir director and ask if they are available on your date. If they can not accept payment for sharing their talents, offer to make a donation to the school or an event they are hosting. You could also try music departments at local colleges.
