A wedding day is one of the most important moments in a couple's life, and when preparing for the big day, entertainment is a key component to creating an unforgettable experience. From a live band to the romantic atmosphere of violin, there are many options to personalize your wedding. In this article, we will explore different entertainment solutions and share tips on how to organize your wedding, based on our experience in weddings in Catania, Siracusa, Messina and in general throughout Sicily.
Organization of the entire wedding.
Before choosing your entertainment, it is important to plan the flow of your wedding. Here is how the big day usually unfolds:
Ceremony : The ceremony can take place in a church, an outdoor location, or a special place that represents you and your partner.
Depending on whether you want to celebrate a religious or civil ceremony, there are different ways to say yes, including (lately it's trendy!) the symbolic ceremony: after having held a very intimate official ceremony, a second ceremony is held, usually in the venue where the reception will take place. This is to have everyone meet up at the location and create a festive and intimate atmosphere right from the start! Make sure you communicate the details to your guests in advance.
Cocktail Hour : After the Ceremony is where guests, relatives and friends, take advantage of it to relax a bit by chatting among themselves. Why not pamper them by offering a cocktail hour? It could take place immediately after the ceremony in a place nearby or directly in the reception venue: in this case it could be the perfect moment for a violinist or a saxophonist or even a solo singer. You could also make sure that the eventual DJ leaves some very chill background music so that your guests can chat peacefully. While you are (probably) taking photos, you know that your guests are in good company!
In one of our best experiences we found an open bar service with molecular cocktails in spoons, and other edible ones in the form of gelatin, in addition of course to the classics in glasses. A unique way to entertain guests who will be intrigued and delighted by this format. Be careful though, because too much alcohol could spoil the party if the guests don't know how to limit themselves!
Reception : During the reception, fun is the order of the day and the party gets into full swing. There are many solutions you can opt for to continue the event and have an unforgettable memory of your day.
Lunch/dinner can continue, from an "entertainment" point of view, as a continuation of the cocktail hour, if you have planned it, or in any case start in a sober way: a choice between sax, soloist, string quartet, band, violinist could give a sober touch to the event, with entertainment measured to the moment that is taking place: lunch or dinner. Usually the reception opens with the first dance between the bride and groom and the toast, which can never be missed!
Our suggestion is not to dedicate the banquet time only and exclusively to this, because the guests at a certain point, could get bored. Here the best solution is to hire an entertainer who knows how to break up the evening with elegance by involving your guests, or thanks to a band, sax or violin, start to increase the rhythm by involving your guests in an initial moment of dancing. If the entertainment you have chosen knows how to capture the moments well, your guests will not stop dancing!
In the case of EventIndustry the winning combination is now that of band and DJ: the band gives the sober touch from the beginning of the event, starting to unleash itself halfway through the evening just like Blockbusters know how to do! At this point a combination of band and DJ starts that will no longer let your guests stop!
