Wedding Reception Entertainment Options And Ideas

By Marcie Goodman


Choosing the wedding reception entertainment that personalizes your special day can make it very memorable. Everyone has a different opinion on what these activities should be - the personalities of the bridal couple, the venue and the budget should all be taken into consideration when making this decision. It will assist the couple in getting off to a great start in their new life.

Bands are a very popular choice for a reception. The variety of music offered is extensive plus special songs are available for the first dance and other dances on the agenda. Music of sentimental significance to the new couple will make the evening extra special. Bands, though, can be very expensive and some must look to other entertainment due to a more limited budget. They are also limited to one type of music that some of the guests may not prefer.

For some, a disc jockey is a more flexible choice. They play any kind of music, the line up of songs can be selected in advance and they are often only too happy to handle any announcements or introductions that need to be made throughout the evening. Some assist in getting the guests involved with line dances and special routines. If the budget or even the space is limited, a disc jockey could be an excellent choice. They are available at almost any price range to help you keep your expenses down.

Combining karaoke and a disc jockey is even more fun and effective. Guests can walk up to the microphone and belt out favorite tunes or they can honor the happy couple with a toast and a special song. Children can get involved too by singing popular songs that they love.

Mariachis have also increased in popularity. They are a great way to greet guests as they arrive at the reception. Throughout the remainder of the evening, they will be able to serenade the bride and groom as well as the bridal party and all who attend. The upbeat music will give the reception a real party atmosphere.

Photo booths have also become very popular. Guests can take pictures of themselves to take home and the company can also arrange to have the photos placed in a book for the bride and groom to enjoy later. It is a unique way to capture the memories and faces of the attendees of this very special day.

Seasonal entertainment is always a hit. If the occasion is near Christmas, an on site Santa would be a perfect touch. An Easter bunny or characters dressed in costume would be magical for events around Easter or Halloween. Top hats and sparklers would make a New Year's Eve wedding one to be remembered.

If children are invited to the event, activities especially for this age group will keep them occupied. Suggestions include clowns, balloon artists, magicians, and moon bounces. Designate an area with supervision away from the main activities so distractions and noise will not be an issue.

Choosing the very best in wedding reception entertainment is a very personal choice. The personalities of the bride and groom come into play as well as the location and budget available. Selecting the best activities that will make the day memorable and will get the bride and groom off to a good start in their new life together is what really matters in the end.
