Make a Memorable Entrance

Make sure your bridal party brings all they’ve got with head-turning entrances full of energy and laughs. Whether it’s a coordinated dance, a fun pose, or something totally unexpected, this moment sets the tone for an unforgettable night. For the bride and groom, our new favorite trend is the wedding branded t-shirt toss—a playful and interactive way to kick off the party. (Check out Nicole & Nolan’s example on our Instagram for inspiration!)

Choose the Right Music to Set the Mood

The music you play is the mood you’ll set for the entire night. Make sure to communicate clearly with your DJ about what songs or genres you love—and which ones you want to avoid. Whether it’s early in the celebration when you want a lively but relaxed vibe, or late at night when the dance floor heats up, having a playlist that fits your style keeps your guests energized and the party going strong.

The best DJ ever always helps get the party going at Drakewood.

Break the Ice with a Fun Game or Activity

Starting off with a game might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s a fantastic icebreaker that gets guests engaged and laughing. Whether it’s the classic shoe game—where the couple answers fun questions about each other—or an energetic scavenger hunt around the room like musical chairs, these activities create memorable moments. We’ve also seen bride and groom-led dances where guests come to the floor based on how long they’ve been married. Once the game wraps up, switch the music to a livelier vibe to keep the energy up while most guests are already out of their chairs and ready to party.
