Looking to spice up your wedding reception? We have compiled a list of our favorite ideas to keep your guests smiling and laughing all night long.
MAGICIAN
It’s hard to look away when you’re in the presence of love. Real, authentic love is rare and when we see it or feel it, we want to savor it. Love has often been compared to magic. Magic is a centuries old concept and is the cornerstone of many favorite fairytales. Inviting a magician to dazzle your guests will heighten their overall experience at your wedding and create memories and feelings that won’t be quickly forgotten. Our very own Forever Bride vendor, Hudson Magic, has an exceptional ability to charm wedding guests. While your wedding party is getting their photos taken, why not let a professional entertainer break the ice and get your guests laughing before you arrive? From personal experience, it’s hard not to smile when you see magic before your eyes.
Some questions to ask a magician before you hire them are:
“¢What type of magic do you perform?
“¢How long should I book a magician for?
“¢Are you willing to travel?
“¢How far in advance should I book a magician?

DUELING PIANOS
Get the crowd involved and moving with dueling pianos! Why have just one piano when you can have two? Add some singing, humor and crowd participation of dueling pianos to get your party rocking right away. Create some good energy with dueling piano entertainment offered by such vendors as Rock it Man Entertainment, a talented Forever Bride vendor. On their Forever Bride vendor page, you can check out several videos and see what they’re all about!

COFFEE CART
Forever Bride vendor, Coffee Cart MPLS, said it best, “Coffee is not just a drink, it’s an experience.” We can’t argue with that logic. There’s no doubt that a delicious coffee beverage can make you smile from all the tasty goodness while also giving you a little pep in your step. Bring the Minneapolis coffee culture to your big day and give your guests a reason to stay up late and dance the night away.

CARTOON ARTIST
Send your wedding guests home with a visual, tangible memory from your special day, a caricature drawing of themselves! Laughs won’t be in short supply with this artsy entertainment on hand. Photo booths are the go-to at weddings and can be a great time, but the couple that wants to add something unique to the mix would benefit from looking into a carton artist such as About Faces Entertainment in Minneapolis. In just minutes, their artists will sketch hilarious cartoon pictures of you and your guests.
SMORES BAR
Smores and Minnesota go together like a bride and a groom. Smores give us a cozy, nostalgic feeling just from the scent alone. It doesn’t matter if it’s summer or winter, your guests will be smacking their lips once they dive into a gourmet smore from Forever Bride vendor, North Mallow Co., who have perfected the smore. Believe it or not, it’s been done. They create all-natural, homemade marshmallows in a variety of exceptional flavors such as Vanilla Bean, Chocolate Chip, Caramel or Mocha!
