You’re Getting Married! Let’s Make It a Day to Remember with Unique Wedding Entertainment!

The big day is fast approaching and you know three things for sure: 

1. You’ve found the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. 
2. You want to make sure your wedding is the best day of your life so far. 
3. You want to make your wedding unique and stand out in every way possible. 

In phenomenal news, you’ve already done the most unique thing of all, guaranteed to wow your guests, and make your day one no one will ever forget – you booked Around Town Entertainment and our award-winning live wedding bands to provide the most incredible soundtrack to your big day! 

Of course, as the tristate area’s premiere wedding bands, we also have plenty of fantastic ideas for ways you can personalize your reception, and unique touches that will really set your day apart. Here are ten of our favorites! 

It Really is An Everlasting Love: The Anniversary Dance 

This one is becoming a little more well-known, but it’s by no means common! The Anniversary Dance is simple, yet sweet and fun: it starts by inviting every married couple onto the dance floor and then does a bit of a reverse snowball! Our bandleader will start by asking everyone who’s been married for less than a year to please exit the dancefloor, then people married a year, 5 years, and onward until, at last there’s only one couple left on the dancefloor – the folks who’ve been married the longest! This can be a sweet and fun way to celebrate the long-lasting marriages of the people you hold dear, and who serve as an inspiration to you and your partner. 

You’re My Inspiration: A Different Kind of Parent Dance

In a slightly similar vein to the idea of the Anniversary Dance, sometimes it’s a really sweet and lovely touch to have a Parent’s First Dance. Obviously, it isn’t actually your parents’ first time dancing with one another, but imagine how sweet a surprise it could be to have the bandleader invite your parents to the dancefloor, then proceed to play the song your parents used as their First Dance song at their own wedding! To make the moment all the sweeter you can take the moment to say a few words about how your parents’ love inspired your own and thanking them for teaching you to love the way you do. 

You’re Still The One: A Song for Your Grandparents

This one is similar to our last idea, but a little more conditional since not everyone is lucky enough to have both their grandparents around to see them tie the knot. If you’re one of the lucky ones though, this idea is a must. Grandparents aren’t as likely to come out onto the dancefloor for the songs you and your friends love, but we promise they can still bust a move to songs they know – and what better song than their own First Dance? We promise there won’t be a dry eye in the house if you incorporate this unique idea into your big day! 

How Sweet It Is: Cake Cuttings Deserve Soundtracks, too!

Lots of wedding traditions have come and go over the years, but through it all, the cake cutting withstands the test of time. So why let such an iconic moment go on without all the bells and whistles available? Choosing a song to underscore this sweet moment helps keep the whole evening feeling like it’s something out of a movie and helps smooth over any moment that feels awkward as you navigate frosting, knives, plates, and presence of just one elbow too many in a tight space. 

No Such Thing as a Champagne Problem 

Though personally, we think Colbie Callait’s ‘Bubbly’ is a better fit for the moment you and your new spouse pour a champagne tower! While the champagne tower itself might not be a terribly new idea, playing a song to match the moment and adding to the cinematic feeling of the day is definitely a unique thought, and one sure to make this moment stand out even more for your guests! 

Ready, Set, Smile!

It’s a big night full of all your favorite people, and somehow, there never seems to be enough time to get photos with all of them. Enter the Photo Dash! Picture this: the bandleader announces that for the course of the next song, you and your spouse will be running from table to table to take a picture with everyone seated there so everyone had better finish chewing and be ready to jump into that photo with their biggest “Cheese”! Talk about making a fun game out of a task that could otherwise seem tedious! 

Unique Wedding Entertainment: Haaang on Sloopy! Sloopy, Hang On!

Not everyone is lucky enough to meet their spouse in college, but college remains one of the most common places someone will meet their spouse – which tends to mean a lot of guests are alumni of the same university! A great way to get a lot of people onto the dance floor and hyped up quickly? Play your college’s song! Whether it’s Ohio State’s ‘Hang On Sloopy’ by The McCoys or ‘In Heaven There Ain’t No Beer’ for our Iowa and Wyoming fans, a college song is a sure way to get the party pumping! 

Limbo Lower Now!

Yup, you read that right. An idea as unique as it is fun, especially for crowds who are feeling loose and lively, or for kid-friendly weddings, Chubby Checker’s ‘Limbo’ paired with actually playing the game is a fun choice your guests are sure to love! 

Shoes Off!

It’s the Newlywed Game! This one is a bit more of a classic, but this game remains forever unique because not only are you and your partner totally unique, so is the person or people you choose to ask the questions. (We recommend choosing your funniest friends to host this one!)

Give Mom Her Flowers

She gave her all, raising you to be the woman you are, so who better to dedicate your bouquet to? Usually we’d play an appropriate song for a bouquet toss, why not play an equally appropriate song while you dedicate your bouquet to the woman who made you who you are?

In the grand tapestry of wedding traditions, the bouquet toss stands as a vibrant thread, weaving together elements of joy, symbolism, and inclusivity. For many couples embarking on the journey of matrimony, this age-old tradition holds a special place in their hearts, resonating with profound meaning and significance. While the tradition of a bouquet toss at wedding receptions may be less common in some modern ceremonies, there are still several great reasons why you might still choose to include it – and, just as importantly, select a song for Around Town’s live bands to play while you do! 

What Is A Wedding Bouquet Toss?

At its core, the bouquet toss is more than just a simple act; it is a symbol of hope, luck, and the passing of happiness on to another. Rooted in centuries of folklore and customs, this cherished tradition embodies the belief that the single woman who catches the bouquet will be blessed with good fortune and perhaps even find herself walking down the aisle next. This unique moment of whimsy is also one that adds a little extra fun and zest to the evening! 

It can also be an act of inclusivity, inviting guests of all ages and relationship statuses to partake in the festivities. Regardless of whether one is single or coupled, young or old, the invitation to join in the fun can be extended to all. It’s a gesture of unity, bridging divides and fostering a sense of belonging among all who gather to celebrate your love.

Modern Take On Wedding Bouquet Toss

Yet, in the ever-evolving landscape of weddings, tradition now often finds itself intertwined with innovation. Some couples opt to infuse the bouquet toss with a modern twist, adding creative elements or alternative interpretations to personalize the experience. Creativity knows no bounds, offering couples a plethora of inventive ways to infuse this cherished tradition with a touch of magic and flair. Here’s a bouquet of imaginative ideas to make your toss one for the books:

Trivia Takes It: Kickstart the bouquet toss with a splash of intellect by hosting a trivia session. Delight your guests with questions about the couple or love in general, granting the bouquet-catching honor to the sharpest mind in the room.

The More the Merrier: Why settle for one bouquet when you can have many? Break the traditional mold by presenting multiple bouquets, ensuring that a plethora of guests gets a chance to snag one.

Dearly Beloved: Elevate the toss by dedicating it to a special guest. Whether it’s the longest-married couple in attendance or someone celebrating a milestone birthday, this gesture adds a heartfelt touch to the festivities.

Charitable Twist: Infuse the bouquet toss with altruism by inviting guests to make a charitable donation in exchange for the chance to catch it. Not only does this foster goodwill, but it also adds a philanthropic dimension to the tradition.

Scavenger Hunt: Embark on an adventure with a bouquet scavenger hunt. Conceal the bouquet within the venue and provide guests with tantalizing clues, sparking a frenzy of excitement as they race to claim the ultimate prize.

Spontaneous Surprise: Keep guests on their toes with a surprise bouquet toss. Forego the customary announcement and unleash the toss when they least expect it, infusing the reception with a delightful sense of spontaneity.

Adding music to accompany the bouquet toss can enhance the overall experience and create a more festive atmosphere for this traditional moment. Music sets the stage, creating a soundscape against which the bouquet toss unfolds. Whether it’s a lively melody to ignite the crowd’s enthusiasm or a soulful tune to tug at heartstrings, the right music sets the tone, aligning seamlessly with the celebratory spirit of the occasion. 

Best Bouquet Toss Songs

Music can add an extra layer of excitement and anticipation to the bouquet toss, encouraging guests to get involved, clap along, and cheer for the participants, making the moment more engaging for everyone! A catchy tune can encourage guests to join in the fun and feel more comfortable participating in the bouquet toss. It can also help create a sense of unity and camaraderie among attendees, regardless of their relationship status.

Choosing a song that holds special meaning to you and your partner, or reflects your personalities can personalize the bouquet toss and make it even more meaningful. It’s another way to add personal touches to the overall wedding celebration! Alternatively, you can pick a song that’s thematically appropriate; some options that fit the more traditional ideas around a bouquet toss include “A Good Night” by John Legend, “Single Ladies” by Beyonce, “Dear Future Husband” by Meghan Trainor, “This One’s for the Girls” by Martina McBride, or Shania Twain’s classic “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” 

Incorporating music for Around Town to play during the bouquet toss helps maintain the flow of the reception program. It provides a smooth transition between different segments of your event, ensuring that guests remain engaged and entertained throughout the evening. So if you were worried that a bouquet toss would interrupt the flow of people wanting to spend time on the dance floor – don’t fret! This is a great chance to give your guests a breather in between dance numbers, while still keeping the energy high and the party going.

It’s well-known that Around Town Entertainment is the cream of the crop when it comes to live entertainment on your big day – our award-winning musicians have been some of Connecticut’s favorites for years! Which is why we feel very qualified to tell you about one of our favorite Connecticut venues to play and celebrate our fabulous couples. 

Picture this: the salty breeze ruffling your hair, the rhythmic crash of waves keeping time with your heartbeat, and the golden glow of the sun setting over the Long Island Sound as you say, “I do.” Welcome to Water’s Edge Resort & Spa, where coastal charm meets classic New England elegance, making it the ultimate backdrop for a wedding that feels like a sun-kissed dream.

Nestled along the shoreline in Westbrook, Connecticut, Water’s Edge isn’t just a venue—it’s a seaside escape. The kind of place where you can sip champagne on a private beach, indulge in a spa day before slipping into your wedding attire, and dance the night away with the ocean as your witness. It’s romance, relaxation, and revelry all wrapped up in one breathtaking package.

A Ceremony with a View

Water’s Edge serves up some serious ceremony options, and they’re all stunning. Want to walk down the aisle with your toes in the sand? The beach ceremony site offers an intimate setting where the horizon stretches endlessly behind you. The soft sound of waves lapping at the shore and the scent of salt in the air create an atmosphere that is effortlessly romantic. Prefer a more traditional setup with ocean views? The Garden Terrace is a lush, manicured space with a stunning gazebo that gives off major fairytale vibes. Picture yourself surrounded by blooming florals, a gentle sea breeze keeping the moment cool and refreshing, and your guests seated beneath twinkling bistro lights. No matter which ceremony locale you choose, you’re guaranteed a wedding album filled with swoon-worthy shots.

Reception Spaces that Wow

When it’s time to party, the resort’s reception spaces are just as dazzling. The Grand Ballroom is an absolute showstopper with floor-to-ceiling windows, twinkling chandeliers, and enough space for all your friends, family, and an impromptu conga line. The soaring ceilings and elegant decor set the tone for an unforgettable evening, whether you’re envisioning a black-tie affair or a barefoot-on-the-dance-floor kind of night. 

For a more intimate affair, the Water’s Edge Ballroom offers a cozy yet elegant setting, where every detail feels warm and personal. And let’s not forget the outdoor options—oceanfront cocktail hour on the terrace? Yes, please. Imagine your guests sipping signature cocktails while watching the sun sink into the horizon, the sky painted in shades of pink and gold. The transition from a scenic outdoor soiree to a lively, joy-filled reception is seamless at Water’s Edge.

A Feast to Remember

Speaking of cocktails, let’s talk about the food—because Water’s Edge doesn’t just deliver on scenery, it delivers on flavor. The catering team specializes in fresh, locally sourced cuisine that brings a little bit of the shoreline to your plate. Think buttery lobster rolls, elegant seafood towers, and the kind of filet mignon that makes you consider asking for seconds (or thirds—we don’t judge). Their signature dishes are crafted with the finest ingredients, ensuring that every bite is as memorable as the moment itself. 

Your menu is fully customizable, giving you the opportunity to create a dining experience that reflects your taste. Maybe it’s an elevated plated dinner, or perhaps a more relaxed yet equally indulgent buffet-style spread. And of course, your wedding cake will be as delicious as it is beautiful, courtesy of their talented pastry team. Whether you’re dreaming of a classic tiered masterpiece or a trendy naked cake adorned with fresh blooms, they’ll make sure it’s both visually stunning and absolutely delectable.

Beyond the Big Day

Now, let’s talk about the perks—because this resort isn’t just about the big day, it’s about the full wedding experience. Out-of-town guests will love the on-site accommodations, from cozy guest rooms to luxurious suites with ocean views. Having everyone in one place makes the entire celebration feel like a destination wedding without the need for a passport. Guests can arrive early, unwind in style, and soak in the coastal beauty before the big event.

The spa is a dream for pre-wedding pampering, whether you’re looking for a relaxing massage or the perfect glow-up facial. Picture a serene morning with your bridal party, sipping mimosas in plush robes while enjoying rejuvenating treatments that melt away any last-minute wedding jitters. And for those making a full weekend out of it, Water’s Edge offers everything from beach bonfires to sunset cruises—because why limit the celebration to just one day? Kick off the festivities with a welcome party by the fire or a post-wedding brunch overlooking the water. It’s the kind of place that makes extending the wedding weekend an absolute must.

The Perfect Beginning

At the end of the night, as you steal a quiet moment on the beach, barefoot in the sand, the stars reflecting on the waves, you’ll know you chose the perfect place to start forever. Water’s Edge Resort & Spa isn’t just a venue—it’s a feeling. A feeling of warmth, of effortless elegance, of pure, unfiltered joy. And isn’t that exactly what a wedding should be?
