Hello & Happy Thursday!
This week's focus surrounds one of the most important aspects of your wedding day - the entertainment! The music and entertainment you choose can help set the tone of your wedding ceremony and reception, which is something your guests (and YOU) will never forget!
As we enter a new year of weddings, we will continue implementing safety protocols to ensure every guest feels comfortable. Keeping in mind any state and venue regulations, we do our very best to deliver creative and fun solutions for your special day!
With this in mind, here are some 2021 trends to consider when planning your celebration's entertainment:
1. Rethink your dance floor
With COVID-19 regulations in place, some venues have completely banned dancing in their spaces. So definitely check with your venue before you plan on having a full-out dance party! If your venue does allow dancing, that's great! To make everyone feel safe and comfortable, it might be a good idea to create a bunch of mini-spaces on your dance floor. By using high-top cocktail tables to separate dancing guests, everyone can still let loose without bumping into people outside of their circle.

2. Change the Atmosphere with Live Music
We're expecting to see a lot of different musical choices in 2021, namely a shift towards live music! To add an elegant touch to your ceremony, many brides are opting for an arrangement of live strings as they walk down the aisle. Whether you choose to have a full quartet, a trio, or even a solo violinist, adding strings creates an unforgettable ambience.

Even though 2020 cancelled our concert plans, why not bring the concert to you? You won't have mobs of strangers spilling their beer on you as they scream the lyrics to their favorite song - you'll be surrounded by your favorite people in a socially distant serenade! There is nothing like live music to completely transform your wedding celebration and take it to the next level. Choose a local band favorite or reach out to new ones to find the one that matches your style!

3. Unique Performances
Even if your reception venue doesn't allow dancing, you still want to create a show stopping experience for your guests. Consider stepping out of the box and choosing unique performers like comedians, talent show performers, magicians, or even a mariachi band! We expect to see a variety of unique performances in 2021, which is a surefire way to safely entertain guests and guarantee a memorable night.

Of course, you can't go wrong with a DJ who will play all your favorite songs and hype up your wedding party! Photo booths are also a fun way to document moments with guests and take home mementos to keep forever.
