  1. Here are some unique entertainment ideas that could fit a Victorian/hipster vibe for a wedding in Reading, especially tailored for literature and theatre lovers:

    1. Literary Themed Performers: Hire actors to perform short scenes or monologues from classic literature. They could roam between guests or have a designated area for mini-performances.

    2. Poetry & Prose Readings: Consider hiring a local poet or author to provide live readings. You could also set up a “wishing tree” where guests can write their own poems or thoughts on vintage stationery.

    3. Victorian-Costumed Characters: Have actors dressed in Victorian-era attire mingle with guests, engaging them in conversation, sharing interesting stories, or performing small skits.

    4. Themed Photo Booth: Create a photo booth with vintage props and backdrops inspired by classic literary works or Victorian-era settings. This adds a fun and whimsical touch.

    5. Handwriting Station: Set up a vintage typewriter or fountain pen station where guests can write messages or anecdotes for the couple, creating a literary keepsake book.

    6. Storyteller or Bard: Hire a professional storyteller to captivate your guests with tales from literature, folklore, or even personal anecdotes about the couple.

    7. Live Book Illustrations: Find an illustrator who can create real-time sketches of the couple or scenes inspired by their favorite stories throughout the celebration.

    8. Interactive Theatre: Consider a small-scale interactive theatre group that can engage guests in a storyline, allowing them to participate in the unfolding drama.

    9. Violinist or Harpist with a Twist: Look for musicians who can play classical literature-inspired pieces or modern covers of literary-themed songs.

    10. Literary Trivia Game: Host a fun trivia game centred on famous authors, books, and theatre, with small prizes for the winning teams.

    These ideas can help create a memorable and immersive experience that reflects the couple’s love for literature and theatre. Make sure to reach out to local performers and services to see what unique offerings they have!
