There are various ways you can level up the whole ambiance, setting aside the usual dancefloor magic; and we are here to help you with that, bringing the fun factor into the event. Here are our top 5 wedding reception ideas!
Wedding themed photo booth
Photo booths are a sure way to make your event unforgettable. Opt for one that is tailored to your style and your guests will have the best time snapping fun photos. There are various props to be added so the photos will be a lovely keepsake of your event. Furthermore, you can use them as wedding favors. This is an activity that is fun for all ages, whether younger or more elderly, there isn’t a single soul that won’t enjoy group photos with themed additions!
Sometimes a set backdrop like our famous “LOVEworks” sign is a great place to take a pic too!
Fun games for your reception table
These wedding reception ideas are amazing to connect your guests. You can play dare or dare, have trivia about you two, or any other engaging game. Some people love to own the dance floor especially when the outdoor venue space has such an amazing ambiance, but for some, these types of games can be more entertaining!
One of the great things about our unique wedding venue is that we have a game courtyard filled with various outdoor activities!
A surprising wedding playlist
Indeed, some people just love the dancefloor, but you can add some fun engaging songs into your playlist that all of you as a group can perform! Surprise your guests with an unexpected playlist and spice up your event. Your chosen venue can help with bringing additional accessories for certain dances!
Lounge areas with games
Some guests will need a breather from time to time. That is where lounge areas come in handy! This is one of those wedding reception ideas that are certain to bring the element of fun to your whole event.
Add a giant Jenga in the middle, and they can all play or watch with anticipation who will win.
There are also board games, checkers, fantastic funny card games, etc. Your venue might have more ideas about how to arrange everything so it would be amazing to be able to create a fun corner like this for your epic wedding day.
Cocktail and food delicacies
Work with your venue to make a separate cocktail or food sampling stand which your guests can enjoy trying out different things. Uniquely mixed colorful cocktails and authentic treats that you two enjoy as a couple will elevate everything. In fact, who doesn’t like food? You can include uniquely made pizza slices or quick club sandwiches that are different from the typical ones.
We guarantee, your guests will never want to leave!
