Your wedding evening is when the mood changes from romantic and emotional… to energetic, joyful and full of celebration. It’s the part of the day where guests let their hair down, the dance floor fills, and the atmosphere lifts.
If you’re planning a wedding in Pembrokeshire — Tenby, Saundersfoot, Haverfordwest, Narberth, Milford Haven, or anywhere along the coast — choosing the right evening entertainment is key to creating an unforgettable reception.
This guide walks you through the most popular, most exciting, and most crowd-pleasing evening entertainment options to help you design the perfect wedding party.
Start with the Essential: A Great Mobile Disco or Wedding DJ
A professional wedding DJ is still the most popular evening entertainment for one simple reason:
✨ They keep the dance floor full.
A good DJ will:

-
Bring professional lighting
-
Build energy through the night
Mobile discos work brilliantly in Pembrokeshire venues of all sizes — from cosy barns to coastal hotels and marquee weddings.

Live music adds emotion and theatre to your evening. Popular options include:
Acoustic guitarist or duo
Perfect for early evening or drinks receptions before the disco begins.
Wedding band
Great for high-energy receptions with lots of audience interaction.

A modern trend — creates Ibiza-style party moments with live sax riffs.

Include Something Interactive: Photo Booths
A photo booth is one of the easiest ways to boost guest engagement.

They also fill the quieter moments between dances and give guests something to do if they’re not big dancers.
Outdoor Evening Entertainment (Weather-Friendly Options)
Pembrokeshire couples increasingly love adding outdoor entertainment — and for good reason.
Options include:
All of these create magical, romantic moments, especially at coastal venues.
WOW Factor Add-Ons
If you want something your guests will talk about long after your wedding, consider:

Hilarious, unexpected and brilliant for group cheering.
Silent disco
Great venue-friendly option if noise restrictions apply.

Transforms photos and boosts atmosphere instantly.
Confetti cannons
Perfect for first dance or last dance moments.
Indoor fireworks / spark fountains

Plan the Flow of the Evening
To keep the energy building, plan a loose structure:
-
7pm – DJ begins, guests settle in
-
8pm – First dance
-
8:10pm – Invite everyone to join the dance floor
-
9pm – Evening buffet
-
10pm – High-energy DJ set
-
10:45pm – Group photo booth challenge / game
-
11:30pm – Big final dance
-
Midnight – Close
A structured flow prevents “dead moments” and keeps the night lively.
