Entertainment in the Var
Our directory of entertainment in the Var is still being put together. In the meantime, the advice below will help you choose well.
Entertainment that goes down well
- The photo booth: guests leave with their photos, and you with a keepsake album.
- Children's entertainment: entertainers or babysitters in a dedicated space, so that parents can enjoy the evening.
- Games during the drinks reception: pétanque, wooden games, a tasting of the estate's wines.
- Performers: a magician during drinks, dancers, roaming musicians.
Fireworks and lanterns
In summer, fire-prevention rules strictly limit any use of fire in the Var. Fireworks and sky lanterns are often banned or need permission. Check with the venue and the town hall, and plan alternatives: bubbles, biodegradable confetti, petals, lavender.
Timing it well
Entertainment works when it fills a lull: during your couple portraits, between the drinks reception and dinner, or late in the evening. Fit it into the schedule with the venue and the DJ. See also our music and DJs page.
