Badchen
A badchen (plural: badchonim) traditionally entertains before and after Ashkenazic Jewish weddings. They are generally learned men comparable to a maggid or sermonizer. Currently they are only common in the Hasidic world.Wedding parties were one of the few contexts in which Jewish tradition allowed music and dance.In addition to a badchen, and the rabbi who actually performs the wedding, an elaborate traditional wedding might also involve a letz (a jongleur/musician) and a marshalik (a master of ceremonies).
