Here at Unique Norfolk Venues, we know you want your wedding reception to be an unforgettable experience – not just for you and your partner, but for all your guests too! This year, it’s all about shaking up tradition and creating a truly interactive and memorable celebration. From audio guest books to over-the-top after parties, here are some of the most exciting wedding reception trends to consider for your big day.
- Audio Guest Books: Move over traditional guest books, it’s time to upgrade to audio memories. Let your guests leave heartfelt messages, funny anecdotes, or words of wisdom through audio recordings. This modern twist on a classic tradition ensures that you’ll cherish their voices for years to come.
- Over-the-Top After Parties: Why let the party end with the last dance? Over-the-top after-parties are becoming a must-have for couples who want to keep the celebration going long into the night. Whether it’s a themed bash, a silent disco, or a gourmet food truck rally, there are endless ways to keep the fun going after the main reception winds down.
- Live Entertainment: Elevate your reception with live entertainment that wows your guests. Whether it’s a live band, a string quartet, or even a surprise performance, nothing beats the energy and excitement of live music. Get ready to dance the night away to your favourite tunes.
- Making an Entrance: Why wait until the reception to make a grand entrance? Start the festivities off on the right foot by arriving in style. Whether you opt for a vintage car, a horse-drawn carriage, or a breathtaking helicopter arrival, make sure your entrance sets the tone for an unforgettable celebration.
- Extra-Memorable Activities: Say goodbye to traditional wedding favours and hello to unique experiences that double as keepsakes. Treat your guests to permanent jewellery, tarot card readings, watercolour sketches, or personalised embroidery. These thoughtful touches will leave a lasting impression on everyone who attends.
- Candid Cameras: Capture every candid moment with disposable cameras scattered throughout the venue. Encourage your guests to snap away and document the day from their perspective. You’ll end up with a treasure trove of spontaneous snapshots that perfectly capture the magic of your wedding day.
- Drone Photography: Take your wedding photos to new heights with drone photography. Get stunning aerial shots of your venue, your guests, and even your first dance as a married couple. It’s a unique way to capture the beauty of your day from a different perspective.
- The Last Dance: You start your reception with a first dance, so why not end the night with a last dance too? It’s a beautiful way to close out the festivities and create a memorable moment that you’ll cherish forever.
