The value of Drinks Reception Entertainment

Your drinks reception is your first chance to put a stamp on your wedding celebration and ensure they go the way you want.

Most people only think about the drinks they’re putting on. Let me reassure you, that’s not enough of a plan.

It’s true; a drink in hand does give your guests something to do and something to focus on, but it doesn’t help set the tone.

If you don’t take charge of setting the atmosphere for your wedding reception, you risk the whole day morphing into something that doesn’t quite match up with your imagination.

Entertainment gives you that control.

Entertain your guests and give them a drink and you’ll set a fun tone that will help shape and influence everything else that follows.

As the bride and groom, you’ll be on a natural high.

But your guests will need a little more to keep them from checking their phone every five minutes!

Sad, but true! In this digital age, many adults have lost the art of chatting with unknowns. We’ve forgotten the art of making small talk with people we don’t know. When confronted with a sea of strangers, it’s all too easy to open up Facebook and scroll in order to avoid striking up conversation.

This is dangerous for your wedding.

• You want people looking at each other, not at their phones.
• You want your guests chatting and getting involved.
• You want them mixing and mingling.

You want strangers to feel like old friends because that’s what’s going to ramp up the atmosphere and turn your party into a day to remember.

The right drinks reception entertainment provides the perfect distraction from scrolling. Instead of people looking awkwardly at their phone, they’ll look at the show.

Then magic happens…

Wedding entertainment creates a shared experience. It provides a common talking point that gives strangers a reason to chat with each other.

IT BREAKS THE ICE IN A WAY THAT FEELS ENTIRELY NATURAL.

And sets the scene for the rest of your day to sparkle.

Add entertainment to your drinks’ reception and you provide those all-important ice-breaking conversation starters.

And one of the best forms of entertainment to include is close-up magic.

Introduce a professional pickpocket who can mingle effortlessly with your guests and watch any awkwardness evaporate.

A close-up magic show gives strangers something safe to talk about and laugh about. It removes all the awkwardness because now people who don’t know each other have something in common.

You can talk about the magician, the tricks, how you think he stole your watch, how incredible it was… the list goes on.

Instead of being dry and dull—a lull in the day while you wait for the real party to start—your drinks reception becomes a moment to remember.

It becomes a focal point for people to reminisce over.

It morphs into an experience that fuels those wide smiles and big laughs that transform the vibe of your day – as well as enhancing your wedding photos and providing a great energy for the wedding breakfast and speeches (what’s the order of speeches at a wedding).

So take another look at your drinks’ reception.

Make sure you’re maximising this opportunity to make your big day amazing.

Invest in entertainment to generate the fun atmosphere you want and ensure that the vibe floods throughout the rest of your day.

It’s a simple way to ensure your wedding day memories are even better than the ones you’re imagining.
