liven it up | out-of-the box reception ideas

So you’re thinking about your wedding reception. You definitely want it to be very different from the last wedding you attended and are really not excited about the idea of a traditional wedding reception. There are many fantastic things you can do to create an out-of-the box wedding reception.

Here are a few of our ideas…

{Salsa Night} Hire a salsa dance instructor to teach your wedding guests the latest dance moves. They’d have a blast learning a new dance and will enjoy dancing the night away.

{Game Show} Have a “Marrywed” game. This is a great twist to the old classic “Newlywed” game. Instead of the traditional garter and bouquet toss, you can put on your version of the “Marrywed” with the funny questions and all. The married couple that wins the game will win your toss bouquet and garter!

{Theater} You can hire performers to put on a short skit. They can act out a mini version of your absolute favorite play.

{Comedic Hour} Dinner time can be all laughs. You can hire a comedian to entertain your guest for a portion of your reception.

{Singing Show} Have a fabulous reception with the Three Waiters Show. Sophisticated and spontaneous, hilarious and highly polished, The Three Waiters puts three singing waiters undercover - right inside your function! The tightly-scripted yet hilarious show is designed to enhance your event, but never interrupt it.

{Cirque du Wedding} If your venue has amazingly high ceilings… Hire a few aerial acrobatics performers to put on a fabulous show for your guests.

{Cooking demonstration} Hire a chef or caterer to do a cooking demonstration for your wedding guests. Your guests can see first-hand how their meal is prepared and at the end of the demonstration the servers can bring out their plated meals to taste for themselves.

As you can see, the out-of-the box reception ideas are endless… What ideas do you have for an out-of-the box reception?

Happy planning!
