What's the worst wedding entertainment you've seen? | Open thread

We want to know if you can top the deafening operatic Abba medley that caused guests of the Lynches to feel physically sick

You've booked the church and the venue, now all you need is the perfect entertainment. Virginia and Alan Lynch thought they had found this when they hired professional opera singers to serenade guests at their wedding, but felt their day was ruined when the singers began an Abba hits medley.

According to the couple, the music was so loud some guests had to leave the room because they were feeling physically ill. Virginia Lynch added: "One of my guests, who had come all the way from Germany, was so appalled that he stuck both fingers in his ears."

What's the worst entertainment you've seen at a wedding? Should you risk dodgy bagpipe players, or just play it safe and have a disco?
