Lawn games are most popular during the cocktail hour, giving guests something to do while they mingle and wait. But if you’re looking for an alternative to dancing during your reception, look no further for some great entertainment! Everyone loves favorite games like Giant Connect 4, Giant Jenga, and Cornhole.

Photo Booths are here to stay, because wedding guests love them. Dressing up and playing with props while posing for silly photos is always a hit at a wedding reception. Best of all, you get to see the evidence of all the fun later!

Strolling magic is a trending form of entertainment. Rather than performing a show with seated guests, the magician circulates among guests, performing up-close-and-personal magic tricks.
