Who doesn’t want the party of a lifetime on their wedding night?! Drake and I were adamant about making the dance portion of the night a priority and giving our guests a dance party they’d never forget! If you can’t tell by these pictures, our DJ Ray Tuimauga with ICON Events gave us just that! Every.single.person was on the dance floor at one point or another, and it kept going until they pushed us out the door!
One of the perks about working with an entertainment company (DJ) vs. hiring a wedding band is that they can provide you with more than just an incredible playlist! Photobooths, specialized lighting, they can add on so much! Besides the most epic playlist of all time, one of the things our guests continue to talk about were the “enhancements” we included for our reception…so let’s get into it!
Cold Sparks
Our guests are still talking about these! Cold sparks are an easy and fun way to make your night feel like a real PARTY while giving your guests a little surprise. They also make pics SO much fun!! We used them for our grand entrance, during our first dance, and throughout the night to add to the dance party.
Uplighting
Uplighting was an enhancement I didn’t think of beforehand, but I am SO glad we ended up adding it! They completely transformed the look of our venue and were the perfect touch once the lights went down. You can even use them to spotlight a special moment or decor in your space- we added some around our seating chart/photo backdrop, and it was chefs kiss. We were also able to customize the colors; our dinner portion had more of a romantic feel with white uplighting, and our dance party changed to different colors to give it a party feel!
Other add-ons we loved:
- personalized dance floor
- life size outdoor games
- custom monograms
