Kids' Entertainment
A destination wedding often brings more children along than a local one, since parents flying in for the weekend rarely leave a young family behind, and this list is built for exactly that: supervised activity corners, face painting, and entertainers able to hold a group of children through a long adult dinner and a run of speeches. A few operators run a genuine separate programme for the length of the reception, freeing parents to actually attend their friend's wedding rather than split the evening between the dance floor and a restless toddler. Group sizes and age ranges vary by operator and are worth matching to the real numbers rather than a rough guess.
