Wedding Reception Entertainment Ideas

Wedding Reception Entertainment Ideas

It’s time to party once the formalities are out of the way! The evening’s entertainment is something all wedding guests look forward to. Guests love letting their hair down to celebrate. While the band plays into the night and your guests enjoy chatting over drinks from the bar, you guests will enjoy utilising the additional vendors you have booked for entertainment. Here are 10 entertainment vendors to consider when planning your wedding reception:

Ten Wedding Reception Entertainment Ideas

  1. Photo Booth Hire: The most obvious answer, right? Photo booths are always a hit with guests at weddings. From jumping in the booth with your best girlfriends, dragging your brother’s together for a sibling photo or puckering up for a smooch with your husband, photo booths will always be endless entertainment for your guests.
  2. Giant Jenga and Chess: While cocktail hour begins post ceremony let your guest’s bring out their inner child with giant board games. Guests love getting involved with ‘activities’! The celebrating and the novelty size is just a bonus!
  3. Magician: Consider hiring a magician for your wedding entertainment. Treat your guests with a fascinating magic show or have this happening ‘live’ throughout your reception
  4. Piñata: Did someone say fiesta!? This one the ones young at heart. We all remember gathering around to grab the lollies as soon as the piñata has been bust open! Why not break the tradition and have a wedding piñata?
  5. Arcade Games: Do your guests love the nostalgia of Space Invaders and PacMan? Hiring vintage style arcade games or a pinball machine for your wedding reception will surely be a hit with guests
  6. Caricaturist: Caricatures are a great memento and always a fun take-home for guests. Having a caricaturist at your wedding reception to draw your guests live is a great wedding entertainment option.
  7.  Band or Live DJ: When it’s time to kick off your heels and dance the night away you want only the best tunes. Hiring a live band or DJ for your wedding will be interactive and fun live entertainment.
  8. Fire performers: Fire performers and fire dancers have been increasingly popular amongst wedding guests for wedding entertainment. In addition, it’s bold and its exciting,
  9. Fireworks: Fireworks displays are great wedding entertainment ideas for your guests. While fireworks aren’t for everyone, its always a fun way to end the night.
  10. Temporary Tattoo Station: Finally, there’s nothing like a tattoo to make a statement at your wedding! Lucky these ones will only be temporary. Personalise your temporary tattoos to a character version of the couple for a unique and fun wedding entertainment idea.

Aberfeldy Farm & Barn Wedding for Brad & Sarah

TOOWOMBA WEDDING VENUE

About Aberfeldy Farm & Barn Towoomba

Aberfeldy Farm & Barn is the perfect country backdrop for your rustic but elegant wedding ceremony and reception. The enormous custom designed barn built in 2019 is located in Westbrook QLD. This gorgeous venue is ideal for weddings featuring a dedicated dance-floor space.

When travelling the long road out to Toowoomba, the first thought that pops into our mind is the stunning wedding venues! Aberfeldy is one of Toowoomba’s most loved wedding venues. Brad and Sarah chose to gather their nearest and dearest to celebrate their wedding at Aberfeldy Farm and Barn.

Aberfeldy is one of Toowoomba’s best known wedding venues.  Brad and Sarah chose to exchange their vows outside the barn, with guests moving inside to continue the celebrations. With stunning locations all over the property, Aberfeldy can offer a wedding experience like no other. The best part about the property you ask? It would have to be meeting the cows!

Brad and Sarah took full advantage of the stunning sunset views at Aberfeldy Farm and Barn. Once they said their ‘I Do’s’, Brad and Sarah’s bridal party was whisked away for a stunning sunset photoshoot – topped off with popping bottles of champagne. 

Sarah’s stunning long-sleeved lace wedding dress matched perfectly with the rustic country style of Aberfeldy. We love the drama the train of her dress brought to the photos. The groomsmen looked dapper in classic black and white dinner suits, while the bridesmaids brought it all together with their shades of green dresses. Brad and Sarah chose to complement their theme with fresh sunflowers for bouquets, menu decoration, cake topper and centrepieces.

Brad & Sarah’s Wedding Reception at Aberfeldy Farm & Barn

While Sarah and Brad were busy spending their first few hours as husband and wife, their guests gathered at the Barn waiting for the reception to kick off for the night. In the Booth Toowoomba had the absolute pleasure of joining Sarah and Brad for their wedding reception.

The reception kicked off with a live singer and fun love heart glasses for guests.  We absolutely loved the rustic cake Sarah and Brad chose for their nuptials; we especially love the custom ‘Brad and Sarah’ cake topper!  Sarah and Brad chose to continue their nature inspired theme with their leafy green photo strip design.

A note from the Bride…

Aberfeldy Farm & Barn Wedding

“Brad and I met on a Carnival cruise ship seven and a half years ago. Fast forward to July 2023 and we were married at the beautiful Aberfeldy Farm & Barn. We had the most perfect day surrounded by everyone we love. We honestly couldn’t choose our favourite part…. we loved it all!”

Christmas Party Ideas

CHRISTMAS PARTY PLANNING INSPIRATION

Christmas parties and end of year parties take up most of our social calendar throughout November and December. Truth be told, Australians love a reason to celebrate and let our hair down especially at the end of the working year. The Christmas Party is often the social event of the working season, as you gather with your peers to celebrate the year that was. Photo booths and Christmas parties go hand in hand.

In the Booth celebrates hundreds of Christmas and end of year party’s right across Australia with our photo booths. We love nothing more than joining you to celebrate the year that was for your workplace. Photo booths are increasingly popular at all events, however Christmas parties and end of year parties are some of our favourite reasons to celebrate. Our booths are ever popular at Christmas functions and end of year events and it’s a great way to break the ice for the evening.

Christmas Party Ideas

Christmas Party Ideas & Planning Tips

  • Start planning early: While December may seem like AGES away, we guarantee it’ll be here before you know it! Christmas Parties and end of year parties are the highlight of most work social calendars. You don’t want to leave your planning to the last minute.
  • Be realistic: The work ‘budget’ always comes up when planning your Christmas party or end of year party. Be realistic about what your expenses will be. Consider what additional extras you will be able to have on the night. 
  • Make sure you book in advance: November and December and very busy times of year for events and celebrations. Some venue spaces will book out far in advance. Make sure you secure your date for your Christmas Party to avoid missing out!
  • Choose the right venue: Choosing the right venue can be pivotal in your successful Christmas party. You want to make sure you are choosing the perfect event space to host your Christmas party. Ensure there’s enough space for guests and full facility available for the event.
  • Listen to what the people want: Your team should be able to tell you their Christmas party ideas without ‘telling you’ what they would like to see at their Christmas Party. See what additional things may take their fancy. Perhaps it will be particular food, a theme for the party or maybe something a little additional to kick the party off. May we suggest a photo booth? 😉

Branded Photo Booth

Have you considered a branded photo booth to drive home your message at your next corporate event? A branded photo booth is the best billboard you’ll ever hire!

One of the advantages of a solid-walled booth is the branding space. Our brand package photo booth hire means we can deliver your brand message in multiple ways. Let’s break them down below.

Branded Photo Booth

This is the obvious one! If you’ve seen our booths in person, you’ll know they make a statement in any room! Our footprint is a space-friendly 2.3m x 1.3m however our walls offer an impressive amount of brand space.

Branded photo booth hire is fantastic for an extra special event activation. Our standard hire includes plenty of client customisation but nothing overshadows our branded booths. Our team work closely with our corporate customers to develop designs that command attention in any room. There’s no creative limits to what can be placed on the external shell of the booth.

Perhaps your event has a specific theme such as Mother’s Day or a product launch. We can bring that theme to life by incorporating into the exterior of the booth.

Can we supply our own branding?

Yes and no! Our clients are most welcome to provide print-ready artwork files. However branding application to the booth is only handled by our team to ensure a perfect fit and expert end result. Our branding packages include a specially design medium that is right for the job. As we cannot ensure success we don’t allow external products to be adhered to the booth.

Branded Photo Booth 3

Instant Print Design

You can’t beat our custom design instant prints. Unfortunately, guests can’t take home our custom branded booth but they can take home a pocket full of branded prints! We carry your brand design package through to your prints as the perfect take home reminder of your brand. It doesn’t get better with brand retention than with photo booth prints.

A custom touch screen that matches your brand will greet guests each time they enter the booth. This screen will seamlessly match your external photo booth branding and be optimised to your selected guest experiences.

Corporate Event Entertainment

Corporate events aren’t just your usual Christmas party or ‘end of year’ office party. Throughout the year, companies host many corporate events, corporate functions and corporate milestones and celebrations. Corporate events range from seminars, brand activations, business meeting and lunches, awards evenings right through to trade shows and anything in between. While getting together with your workmates and peers can seem a little daunting – we promise to help break the ice with some corporate event entertainment fun!

Here’s a few reasons to consider when having a photo booth at your next corporate event:

Photos are the ideal corporate event entertainment

Capture the night on film! With so much going on during your event, you won’t need to worry about taking photos – guests will have full use of the photo booth for the duration of your event. Our high quality images are ideal for company newsletters, Christmas cards, head shots…the list goes on! It’s hard to find the perfect take home gift that’s appropriate for the corporate function environment. Enter photo booth prints and all your event planning problems are solved!

Marketing Opportunities

What better way to market your brand that with a take home photo from the booth! All our corporate customers will receive a custom print for their booking, meaning guests will walk away with your brand. In addition the memory of the celebration is sure to take pride of place on their fridge for years to come. Be it a company milestone or award night, our team create artwork that’s a perfect match. You’re welcome to provide your own specifications and graphics or our design team will create something from scratch for you.

Making Memories

Photo booths are perfect for capturing memories. Treat your team and guests with some fun in the booth to encourage team bonding. You’ll find your various teams are keen to get some #worklife memories together. One thing we often overlook that many lifelong friendships are established at work! Give your team the opportunity to celebrate these and let their hair down in the booth. Just check out our Instagram for our most recent event action.

It’s Cost Effective

Photo booths are a photographer and entertainer all in one! Our photo booths are always a hit at corporate events and corporate functions providing entertainment while capturing the event on film. This saves the need for an additional photographer. A formal photographer will capture just that – formal shots. The booth offers a completely different experience for your guests. They’ll have a pile of fun and relaxed photos on their desk the following day, guaranteed!

It’s the ideal Ice Breaker

Jumping in a photo booth with your boss to pull silly faces sound like the perfect way to break the ice? We agree! While corporate functions and corporate events can seem very ‘serious,’ something nostalgic and playful like a photo booth are sure to help your guests shake off any nerves. We’ve all been to those corporate functions that make us wish we were anywhere else. Add a photo booth into the mix and your guests will be saying it was the best work event ever.

Social Media Exposure

Social media is such an important part of marketing. Sharing images from your event via social media is an amazing way to share your brand. In the Booth photo booths will allow your guest to download their booth photos via our app to be shared across their personal social media platforms. Advertise your hashtag for the event or add some friendly competition amongst workmates with a photo challenge!

Something a Little Extra…?

Extra special event or super important activation on the cards? Make sure you check out our branding options. The booth is the prettiest billboard you’ll find not alongside a highway! The sky is the limit with customisation. We can offer design advice in regards to what will make the biggest impact at your event. Please send through your enquiry for a customised quote. We’ll deliver your brand with a bang!

The iconic Chateau Yaldara is located in the southern Barossa Valley town of Lyndoch South Australia. The historic Manor House is the centrepiece function space for weddings and events. This beautiful function space includes the ground floor and the lawns in front of the Manor House. It’s super exciting for couples to be able to hire this space as a ‘blank canvas’ to be able to create the wedding of their dreams!

David and Vanessa’s autumn Barossa Valley wedding was everything dreams are made of. Our Adelaide couple used their beautiful surroundings as colour inspiration for their day.

Let’s start with Vanessa’s incredible gown! Isn’t it incredible? We thought Vanessa looked every inch the princess bride! Vanessa’s gown’s gorgeous beading detail, shoulder straps and layered chiffon skirt just say dreamy to us. The simple Tiara and flowing locks complete the very pretty picture.

One of our favourite features of David and Vanessa’s wedding is how their lovely bridesmaids wore alternating colour gowns in rust and slate. The autumn palette tied is so beautifully with those stunning blooms! Aren’t the ladies’ bouquets perfection?

David & Vanessa’s Wedding Reception at Chateau Yaldara

The theme for the day carried through to their Chateau Yaldara reception. Beautiful matching floral adorned the room and the wedding cake. Wine barrels and candlelight added to the atmosphere as you would expect at a winery wedding!

After the formalities of the evening, guests hit the dance floor and In the Booth Adelaide started pumping! David and Vanessa had chosen our super popular silver glitter backdrop for their photo booth hire couple with a classic print style.

Guest Cam was a highlight of the night with so many fun photos snapped! In addition, some of our favourite Guest Cams of the night were of David and Vanessa’s first dance. A hush fell over the crowd when the gorgeous couple first took to the floor!

A note from the Bride…

Chateau Yaldara Wedding

“From getting our guests to sing songs during our ceremony, to writing our own vows and having games at our reception, it was important for us to inject our personalities and create fun memories that everyone would enjoy but that would be unique to us.”
