5. Provide your wedding guests with late night snacks
All that dancing is bound to work up an appetite. Surprise your guests with a brilliant locally sourced Cornish speciality, I am sure you can guess what I am refereeing it to! Or opt for some freshly woodfired cooked pizzas! Whatever you would prefer, if you are not entirely sure about to do, we would always recommend to have a chat with your main wedding breakfast caterer to discuss what options they will be able to offer.
6. Provide a photo booth for your wedding guests
Capture the joy and laughter of the evening with a photo booth stocked with quirky props. Your guests will love taking silly and candid shots, leaving you with an album of memories to cherish for a lifetime.
7. Surprise your wedding guests
Another excellent way to plan an unforgettable evening reception for your wedding is to create a wow factor with surprise entertainment acts! It could be a professional dance group, a magician, or even a fireworks display to light up the night sky and leave everyone in awe.

8. Get your wedding guests involved
Engage your guests throughout the evening by incorporating fun activities. You could organize a group dance, a sing-along, or even a game show with guests as participants. It’s all about bringing everyone together and fostering a sense of camaraderie.
9. Create cosy chill out zones at your wedding
Not everyone might want to dance all night, so set up some cozy chill-out zones where guests can relax and have conversations away from the dance floor. This ensures that everyone feels comfortable and has a place to enjoy the evening in their own way. We have got some great suppliers you could contact to hire in the furniture which will be perfect for chilling!
10. Say farewell at your wedding with sparklers
End the night on a high note with a magical farewell. Hand out sparklers to your guests, and as you make your grand exit, the sparklers will light up the night, symbolizing the spark of love that brought you together.
Remember, it’s your wedding evening party, and the most important thing is to have fun and celebrate your love with your nearest and dearest.
