What do you remember most about the last event you attended? Maybe the company, the food, and perhaps the entertainment leave an impression in your mind. Entertainment is what keeps the energy of the room lively, keeps spirits high, and makes a lasting impression on your guests. Whether you’re planning your wedding reception or designing a gala, keeping your guests entertained and engaged could not be more crucial! At Hylah White Special Events, we have had the privilege of getting to know some of the best entertainers around. From acrobats to dancers, and everything in between, we have compiled our favorite types of entertainment to share with your family and friends!

1. Get dancing - Encourage your guests to get on their feet and get moving! Instead of relying on the go-to party songs of the day, mix it up by adding in tunes that every generation will enjoy! Have a choreographer of your choice come lead a new dance such as salsa or swing, to get everyone on their feet and out of their comfort zones!Photo by Diana Mcgregor
2. Live music - Whether you’re a fan of smooth jazz or classic rock, there is nothing more fun than listening to a live band play. Hire a band that can play cross-genres and brings a true ambiance to your event as the energy in the room changes.

3. Say cheese - Create lasting memories with a photo booth! You can set up a unique backdrop and a camera, or rent a photo booth complete with funky props! No matter what you choose, your guests will rally their friends, strike a pose, and forever have photos of your special day!

5. “Make-Your-Own” - We have seen “make-your-own” ice cream sandwiches, cocktails, and cappuccinos, and we love them all! Having a station where guests are encouraged to get creative while enjoying a delicious treat is always a hit!
