 6 Unforgettable Wedding Entertainment Ideas

Your wedding day is one of the most special occasions of your life and you want every moment to be unforgettable for both you and your guests. While delicious food and stunning décor are essential, entertainment plays a crucial role in creating a lively and joyous atmosphere. If you’re searching for entertainment ideas to elevate your wedding, look no further! Here are the top 6 entertainment options (Hint: #6 is our personal favorite):

6 Unforgettable Wedding Entertainment Ideas

  1. Live Band or DJ – Set the mood with live music or a DJ who can keep the dance floor buzzing all night long. From romantic melodies during dinner to upbeat tunes for dancing, a talented musician or DJ can enhance the ambiance and ensure everyone has a great time.
  2. Magician or Mentalist – Add a touch of magic to your wedding with a magician or mentalist who can dazzle guests with mind-bending tricks and illusions. Whether performing tableside or on stage, their captivating performances will leave guests in awe.
  3. Fireworks Display- Illuminate the night sky with a spectacular fireworks display to conclude your celebration. A grand finale of fireworks will leave a lasting impression on guests and create a magical atmosphere that enhances the romance of your special day.
  4. Food Stations – Surprise and delight your guests with interactive food stations offering gourmet delights such as a sushi bar, gourmet popcorn station, or make-your-own taco bar. Food stations not only satisfy guests’ appetites but also add an element of fun and creativity to your reception.
  5. Outdoor Lawn Game- Create a laid-back and festive atmosphere with outdoor lawn games like giant Jenga, cornhole, or croquet. Perfect for cocktail hour or as a post-dinner activity, lawn games encourage friendly competition and provide entertainment for guests of all ages.
  6. Caricature Artists – Adding a Goofy Faces caricature artist to your wedding reception is not just about entertainment; it’s about creating unforgettable memories. Our talented caricature artists offer a delightful twist to traditional wedding entertainment.

Fun Facts about (Drink) Coasters!

By Robert Bauer | September 20, 2019 |

What do you think about when someone says “coaster?” The ever-present drink coaster as we know them today has been around nearly 140 years!

A Brief History

In 1880 Friedrich Horn, a German printing company, designed the first cardboard beer mats, as they are sometimes called. Shortly after, the Robert Sputh Company of Dresden started making them out of wood pulp.

Today you can find drink coasters protecting tables and bars from condensation in nearly every bar, restaurant and home. They come in many materials, including wood, cardboard, bamboo, cork, marble, sandstone, slate and unglazed ceramics. The best drink coasters are porous and absorb condensation from the glass.

Whimsical Occasions Bridal Show at The Inn at St. John’s

Wedding Caricatures!

By Robert Bauer | April 16, 2014 |
Of all the caricature events that we are hired to draw for, wedding receptions are the fastest growing venue for the past 3 years. We’ve drawn at over 100 wedding receptions in that time. We’ve drawn caricatures at 40 weddings in 2014 alone. Amazing! For every bride that calls us to book us saying that they’ve seen caricatures at someone else’s wedding, we still meet people at bridal shows who have never even heard of this idea. It’s a great fit, actually. Guests love to hang out nearby and watch as we draw their friends and relatives. Everyone gets a good laugh and many go home with a memorable keepsake from the wedding that they will always have. As a policy we always allow the bride and groom to cut in line whenever they want their caricature. It’s a courtesy we offer them so that they can get back to their guests as quickly as possible. The rest enjoy watching the artist’s drawings take shape while they wait for their turn. Here’s a tip; make sure to have the location supply plenty of chairs for your guests to sit, wait and watch. It makes it a far more enjoyable experience like a piano bar instead of waiting in a cue like the DMV!
