3. Wow your guests with a Close-Up Magician!
If you want to give your guests something to talk about, why not look at hiring a close-up magician to perform illusions and magic tricks. They will be amazed at the sleight-of-hand illusions that a close-up magician can do with small objects such as coins and ropes! Close-up magicians are the perfect entertainment choice for quieter parties or as an additional type of entertainment. They can work around the room and perform to small groups of guests or they can perform from a central location, such as a table or a stage. No matter which option you prefer, add a bit of mystery and suspense by hiring a close-up magician!

A fantastic entertainment choice if you are wanting a long-lasting memento of your anniversary is to hire a caricaturist. Not only will they sketch the happy couple, but also some of your guests too. Each sketch takes approximately 5 minutes to complete and a caricaturist will draw people in a fun and comical way. Many people choose to frame their caricatures when they take them home and this type of entertainment can add a really fun element to any event!

5. Opt for an instrumentalist for a sit-down anniversary dinner
Planning a quiet sit-down dinner for your family and friends to celebrate your anniversary?

We have plenty of options to choose from when it comes to instrumentalists, such as violinists, harpists, cellists and pianists. Each one has their own sound and one of the great things about booking an instrumentalist is that they can play either classical music or instrumental versions of modern songs. Your guests will still be able to chat among themselves while adding ambient music in the background. View all of the instrumentalists available on our entertainment directory.
6. Keep children entertained and book a clown!
If you are having children attend your anniversary party, whether it be friends of the family or your own grandchildren, why not book a clown to keep them entertained and out of mischief?
