How to Make Your Wedding Reception Entrance Unforgettable
wedding entertainment. After the group photos and location shots, it’s time to kick off your reception with energy! Here comes the wedding entertainment, begining with the wedding reception entrance!
Most couples choose an upbeat song to help inject some excitement before the formal part of the evening begins. It’s a perfect opportunity for a quick dance session (5-10 minutes) to get everyone energized and set the tone for the night ahead.
There are plenty of fun ways to introduce your wedding entertainment (read ‘party’). You can pick a song that gets the whole group moving. Some couples even choose to incorporate routines, props, hats, or dance moves to amp up the excitement before the big entrance of the newlyweds.
Think about adding some playful moments like kisses, dips, lifts, shots of vodka, beer chugging, flips, or just some light-hearted silliness. Not only will this bring energy to the room, but it also makes for fantastic photos and videos that you’ll treasure forever.
You have several options for how the wedding party can enter. You could have everyone come in to the same song, or you could split it up—sending in couples with their own routines or perhaps having the bridesmaids and groomsmen enter to different songs before the bride and groom make their grand entrance. If you want to get really creative, consider using the best part of a song to start your entrance rather than playing it from the beginning. This can help match the room’s energy level perfectly!
Here are the top 60 songs to help you make a memorable entrance at your reception.
