Your wedding is more than just a ceremony—it’s an experience. And when it comes to hosting an unforgettable celebration, entertainment plays a huge role in setting the tone for the night. At The Historic Alfred I. duPont Building, we’ve had the pleasure of hosting incredible weddings featuring some of the best entertainment options. From live performances to interactive experiences, here are some wedding entertainment ideas to elevate your wedding at our iconic venue.
1. Live Music That Sets the Mood
Nothing creates an atmosphere quite like live music. Whether you want a soulful jazz band during cocktail hour, a high-energy Latin band to get guests dancing, or a string quartet for a touch of elegance, live musicians bring an unmatched vibe to any wedding.
- Bands & Live Music: From lively wedding bands to elegant classical ensembles, live musicians add sophistication and energy to the night.
- Violinists & Musicians: A solo violinist or a small ensemble can create a magical ambiance for the ceremony or cocktail hour.
2. DJs That Keep the Dance Floor Packed
A great DJ knows how to read the room and keep guests on their feet all night long. Miami is home to talented DJs who can curate the perfect playlist and mix songs to match the mood of each moment.
Pro Tip: When having people RSVP, have them give you up to 3 songs they would like to hear played, this way it make sure all of your guests favorite songs are played!
3. Interactive Performers & Specialty Acts
For couples who want to add an unexpected wow factor, interactive entertainment is the way to go. Consider aerialists performing breathtaking acrobatics above the dance floor, fire dancers bringing a dramatic flair, or live painters capturing the magic of the evening on canvas. Dancers, LED robot performers, and even Santa Claus appearances have made receptions even more unique.
4. Luxury Photo Booths & 360 Video Experiences
A modern photo booth is more than just a snapshot—it’s an experience. With options like 360-degree video booths, glamorous backdrops, and instant social media sharing, guests can create memories to take home.
5. LED Show & Hora Loca Extravaganza
For those looking to infuse high energy into their reception, a Hora Loca (Crazy Hour) is a must. Stilt walkers, LED robots, drummers, and dancers take the party to the next level with vibrant performances that keep guests entertained and engaged.
6. Interactive Experiences
Interactive food and drink stations add an extra layer of excitement to the celebration. A cigar roller can craft hand-rolled cigars as a sophisticated keepsake for guests. A mixologist can prepare custom cocktails, while a cotton candy artist (pictured above) can spin gourmet flavors for a fun and whimsical touch. These experiences not only provide delicious treats but also serve as entertainment in their own right.
7. Fireworks, Laser Show & Cold Spark Displays
Make your first dance or grand exit even more magical with indoor cold spark fountains or an outdoor fireworks display. These effects add a cinematic quality to big moments and make for stunning photos.
8. Casino Night & Poker Experiences
For a unique reception addition, why not include a casino-style poker station? Your guests can enjoy an interactive experience, adding a touch of Vegas-style excitement to your wedding night.
9. Airbrush & Temporary Tattoos
Temporary airbrush tattoos provide a fun way for guests to get creative and show off custom designs throughout the night. Live artists, caricaturists, and calligraphers can also add a personalized touch to your event, creating custom keepsakes for attendees.
