5 Easy Entertainment Ideas For a Custom Event Experience
When it’s your time to bring everyone together, it’s hard not to want something outstanding at your event that everyone remembers! There’s something special about looking around the room and seeing your guests having an enjoyable time at your own wedding or event.
We’ve created a list of four easy entertainment ideas to add to your event that can keep your guests entertained while you’re busy taking photos, eating dinner, dancing, or visiting with everyone else. There’s only one of you, so it’s awesome if your guests can be entertained on their own while they wait for speeches, dinner, or a moment to congratulate you in person.
Easy Entertainment Ideas
All these entertainment ideas can be implemented by your vendor, but offer opportunities to add your own ideas to make them custom. These elements help make your wedding or event unique and finding something that fits you and your partner’s personality will help create a more meaningful, memorable day.
Food Station – A Delicious Display
Food can absolutely be a form of entertainment! From the time guests arrive, they will eat if it’s provided! Help keep their belly pleased before or after dinner with a delicious display of snacks, desserts, or candy. Create an appealing display with trays and cake stands of varying heights.
An interactive food station, where guests can customize their food creation to their preferences is a win for everyone. Some of our favorite ideas are smores, popcorn, soft pretzels, or a bloody mary bar. While these are mainly do-it-yourself and low-maintenance activities, you still will want someone’s eyes on the table, like a coordinator or designated helper, to restock and tidy up from time to time.
Here are a few local Denver caterers that can help bring your display table or food station to life:
Photo Booth – Complete Customization!
Adding Denver photo booth rentals to your event gives guests an interactive activity they can enjoy throughout the night. Photo booths allow guests to step away from the dance floor for a moment, have fun with friends, and leave with a keepsake from your celebration.
Custom Designs and Personal Touches
Photo strips can be customized with your event colors, date, or hashtag to match your theme. Open-air photo booths also offer flexibility with backdrops, allowing you to use a custom display, floral installation, or a unique wall at your venue. Creating your own props or signage is another easy way to add personality and make the experience feel one-of-a-kind.
A Fun Alternative to Traditional Reception Activities
Photo booths can even replace traditional activities like the dollar dance. With guidance from our DJ and photo booth team, guests rotate through the booth for quick group photos with the couple. This creates a fun, fast-moving experience that keeps guests engaged while maintaining the flow of the reception.
DJs in Denver – Music, Energy, and Flow
Professional DJs in Denver do far more than play music. A skilled DJ manages the pace of your reception, makes announcements, keeps guests informed, and ensures every transition feels natural and well-timed.
Setting the Tone for Every Moment
From cocktail hour to dinner and open dancing, your DJ sets the tone for each part of the celebration. Music selections are carefully timed to match the mood of the moment, helping create a smooth and enjoyable experience for you and your guests.
Crowd Awareness and Seamless Transitions
A professional DJ reads the room and adjusts music, energy, and timing to keep guests engaged. Whether your style is elegant, high-energy, or somewhere in between, your DJ tailors the soundtrack and flow to your vision while keeping the celebration moving from start to finish.
Complete Interactive – Guest Engagement at it’s Best!
With Complete Interactive, your Complete Weddings + Events DJ introduces various activities for your guests to participate in while their answers and submissions are displayed live at your reception. This unique DJ option includes the following elements you can choose from to fit into your evening’s timeline.
Social Media Wall
Allow all your wedding guests to experience the virtual social media stream of your event, group meeting, or activity. The social wall lets you submit photos and/or messages from your custom URL or hashtag to display at the event virtually, or you can integrate Twitter or Instagram so those posts with your hashtag will be displayed.
Crowd Questionnaire or Trivia
A fun questionnaire on the couple is always a great way for guests to learn more about the couple or see who knows them best! Complete can also provide trivia questions, which is a great way to battle to decide who will be served dinner first or to win bragging rights for the evening. With Complete Interactive, we can show the live rankings on the screen to let everyone know who’s in the lead!
Polls
See instant answers from the audience as they interact with the platform on their phone choosing from options and sending in their answers from either a multiple choice. We love having guests vote on their favorite songs to help tailor the soundtrack of the evening to the liking of the crowd (with couple-approved choices of course).
The Shoe Game- Inexpensive and Engaging
If you haven’t witnessed the shoe game at a wedding yet, you are missing out! It only requires two things: two chairs, and you and your partner’s shoes. While not necessary, but you can create or buy question sheets for your guests to play along with! Once you and your partner are sitting back to back, your Complete Weddings + Events DJ will read aloud a series of questions for you both to answer. You then raise the shoe of whoever relates to the question more.
This game can be completely free, and it’s a great way to invite your guests to learn more about you as a couple! Below are some of our favorite questions to ask.
- Who said “I Love You” first?
- Is the most patient?
- Snores the loudest?
- Who is more likely to get injured?
- The first to apologize?
