Hey there, lovelies! It's Danielle, The Zesty Celebrant, and I'm so excited to share this post with you! As a celebrant, I've seen my fair share of wedding celebrations, and let me tell you, the ones that stand out are the ones that prioritize fun and entertainment.

So, let's talk about cocktail hour entertainment!

It's a crucial part of your wedding celebration that can make all the difference in keeping your guests engaged and having fun.

Should I have cocktail hour entertainment? Absolutely! But first, let's cover the basics...

What is cocktail hour?

Cocktail hour is a special part of your wedding celebration that takes place after the ceremony and before the main reception. It's a time for your guests to mingle, enjoy some refreshing drinks and hors d'oeuvres, and celebrate your union while you're busy taking those romantic couples photos! Typically lasting around 60-90 minutes, cocktail hour is a chance for your loved ones to socialize, relax, and get the party started before the reception festivities begin.

Why should I have cocktail hour entertainment?

Keeps guests engaged: While you're busy taking photos, your guests might be left standing around, waiting for the party to start. Entertainment keeps them engaged and having fun.
Sets the tone: Cocktail hour entertainment sets the tone for the rest of the celebration, getting your guests in the mood for a night to remember.
Provides a unique experience: It's a chance to offer your guests something special and memorable, making your wedding stand out from the rest.
