Your Herts and Beds Wedding - October/November 2025 (Issue 112)

EVENING RECEPTION: LET YOUR LOVE LIGHT UP THE NIGHT As the sun sets and the energy shifts, it’s time to celebrate in style. The formalities are over, shoes are off, and the dancefloor is calling. The evening reception is when laughter peaks, unforgettable moments unfold, and everyone lets loose. Think bold, immersive, and joyfully unpredictable in the best way! DANCEFLOOR READY A seasoned DJ can make or break the night. From slow ballads to partystarting anthems, they’ll read the room and keep the energy flowing. Many DJs offer full packages with lighting rigs, dry ice, confetti cannons, and even LED dancefloors. Share your must-plays and do not plays in advance with the team but trust the supplier’s instincts, as they know what fills the floor. Tell them your vibe, if that’s 90s bangers, Motown or club classics. No noise limits? No problem. Silent discos let guests pick from multiple music channels on wireless headphones, pop, dance, indie, golden oldies, you name it. It’s a brilliant, inclusive twist. CASINO TABLES This guaranteed crowd-pleaser will be interactive, engaging, and a fantastic icebreaker run by professionals who will explain the rules and keep the atmosphere lively. Keep it light-hearted and inclusive with no real money, just real fun! Roulette is elegant, exciting, and super simple to join in. Blackjack is easy to learn, quick to play, and full of suspense. Poker is great for smaller groups and a more strategic crowd. Guests can play with fun chips and compete for mini prizes or bragging rights. unsplash.com@simonmaage unsplash.com/@zapsizzle VISUAL SPECTACLE Fireworks add drama and enchantment, especially with sparklers in hand, your guests will be wowed. If your venue has restrictions, go for ‘quiet’ fireworks or a cutting-edge drone light show that dances through the sky with music and shapes. Indoors, highlight key moments with cold spark fountains or flame jets for a safe yet spectacular touch. unsplash.com/@gettyimages unsplash.com/@tuckerjoenz MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT 43
