Use Lighting Design to Enhance Your Event

/in , /by

When organizing any event, be it a wedding, bat mitzvah, office party, or more, there is a lot that you need to consider. From the music to the food, it can be overwhelming, especially if you are not experienced in event planning. One crucial yet often overlooked aspect of event planning is the lighting. 

Lighting can transform your space and determine the atmosphere of the crowd. So, you are going to want to get it right. Wenning Entertainment is here to help!

Why should you settle for the lights that come with your meeting place or banquet hall? Leave those boring and harsh fluorescents behind. Flat generic lighting is not the look you want, and something as simple as a monogram or company logo can impress guests from the minute they arrive. Our fun and interesting lighting design can also be a lot cheaper than larger decor displays. 

With lighting design from Wenning Entertainment, you will be able to transform your guests’ experience into a night they will never forget. Creative and mood-enhancing lighting offers your guests an elegant and fun environment where they can relax, have fun, or concentrate on the topic at hand.

Our designers will consult with you to determine how best to achieve your desired look or theme. They also are skilled in reading the room and will adjust lights and colors based on the mood. With their extensive knowledge of the latest available lighting products and features, you can be sure that your space, no matter the size, will have the ambiance you envision.

Have Fun With Corporate Team Building

/in , /by

Many businesses these days are in hybrid or fully remote setups due to the pandemic. This setup can provide many benefits to your company and employees. However, you can lose the ease of building relationships when you are in office. As we near the end of winter there is no better time than now to boost your team’s morale with a fun and unique event from Wenning Entertainment’s Corporate Team Building Services.

Connect With Your Team

After the last year of increases in team members working remotely, it’s hard to make lasting and productive connections with your coworkers. The perfect way to get your employees engaged is by doing something fun with their team!

We offer custom escape rooms, scavenger hunts, custom games, and much more! These fun activities will foster cooperation and lasting relationships between your employees. After your team-building event with Wenning Entertainment, you’ll never want to do another Zoom happy hour again. 

Have Fun Wherever You Are

And the best part about our team-building event planning is that you don’t have to be in Pittsburgh! We will cross the country to give your company the event it deserves. Featured in this video is one of our favorite events we’ve hosted for NexTec in Florida in early 2020. 

They are a completely online company and we’re looking for a way to get their employees together. We had them meet for a big conference over a few days and hosted a huge scavenger hunt all around the historic Lake Eola. The scavenger hunt had everything from puzzles to trivia, all to get employees working together and having fun. 

Everyone needs a little pick me up right now. Reinvigorate your workers and get them out of the Zoom mood with Wenning Entertainment’s Corporate Team Building Services!

A Wedding Bill: What Do You Think?

/in , /by

After working in the wedding business for almost 30 years, our resident wedding expert Eric Wenning thought he would have seen it all. However, what this newlywed couple did was definitely a new one he had never seen before. These clients actually billed their guests for their dinner because they did not show up to the wedding. We want to know your thoughts on this wedding bill but first, a little context.

The Situation

This bill was sent to two no-show wedding guests after they confirmed through RSVP. But on the actual day of the wedding, they never showed up. Weddings can add up fast, especially for those couples who are paying for everything primarily on their own, this was a blow. This particular bride and groom were stuck with an extra $240 bill.

What Should You Do If You Can’t Make It?

If you have never been married or been a part of wedding planning before, you might not realize just how much the price per guest is. Most weddings can cost anywhere between $100 – $200 per person. So if you as a guest are just giving a $50 Amazon gift card as a wedding present to the one you didn’t show up to, that’s a little cheap and tacky.

So think about that difference when you are gift-giving. If you have to do a no-show, always remember: be polite, be courteous, and send more money to cover the bride and groom’s expenses.  Remember, they wanted you there on their special day.  Keep the gravity of that decision in mind when choosing your wedding gift if you can not make it.

Do you think that charging people for a no-show is warranted, or do you think it’s a little tacky? Let us know what you think!

Avoid A Generic Wedding With These 3 Tips

/in , , /by

No matter what your style or aesthetic is, one thing is the same for every couple who is getting married.  Everyone wants to avoid a generic wedding!  But coming up with new ideas is hard to do with just the two of you.  That’s why this week, the experts at Wenning entertainment are sharing some of their favorite ideas on how to mix things up.

Food Trucks

Firstly, take a break from the norm and hire food trucks for your cocktail hour! Instead of cheese and crackers, why not try a gourmet treat.  Tons of food trucks are now popping up in every city.  With so many different trucks to choose from, you can have anything that suits your taste. Mini pizzas, breakfast food, tacos, and so much more. Have fun, be unique and support a local business! 

Personalized Bouquets 

Next, you can personalize each of your bridesmaid’s bouquets! Your bridesmaids are all unique in their own way, why not reflect that in their flowers? The options are endless.  Pick their birth month flower or flowers that match their hair or eyes. This will give some uniqueness to your color scheme and really make your bridal party feel special. This personalized touch will help you avoid having a generic wedding.

Pick a Scent

Finally, give your wedding a memorable “Scent” . Pick a candle or fragrance that you and your partner love and light some candles to make your ceremony match! Afterwards, whenever you and your guests smell that scent, you all will be brought back to your big day!

Unique Wedding Venue Inspiration

/in , , /by

The easiest way to add some uniqueness to your wedding is by playing with different venue ideas. Sure, loads of people get married at beautiful barns and hotels. But to make your wedding stand out, you’ll need to think outside of the box. Take these three ideas from our experts at Wenning Entertainment as inspiration to find your perfect and unique wedding venue!

A Zoo or Aquarium

An uncommon, yet excellent place to get to share your vows and get up and close with nature. The lush greenery and beautiful scenes that can be found at zoos and aquariums will provide the perfect backdrop for all of your pictures. And most already have specific rooms for events and gatherings so if you’re an animal lover, try looking into your city’s zoo or aquarium to hold your wedding!

An Orchard In Bloom

Make your outdoor ceremony stand out by holding it at an orchard. Go during the right season, and the trees will be in full bloom, creating the most picturesque location you’ve ever seen. With the right photographer, these will be some of the most beautiful pictures you will ever take!

A Unique Wedding Venue Special to You!

Everyone has at least one place that holds a special place in their heart and their relationship. It could be a first date location, where you got engaged, or another place you both hold dear. Lots of places have areas to rent out, so every time you revisit this location, it will remind you of your big day!

Wherever you choose to have your big day, just make sure that it’s special to you.  Always use your relationship as inspiration for everything from your vows to your unique wedding venue!

Unique Wedding Ideas Part 1

/in , , /by

Let’s face it; no one wants an average run of the mill wedding. The very best weddings are the ones with unique features.  The more you personalize different areas of your wedding to you and your spouse, the more special it will be. That’s why this August we are focusing on unique wedding ideas to make your special day stand out!

Hire a Painter

Our first idea has become a very big trend this season and that is hiring  a wedding painter! Photos and videos are great, but what about wedding memorabilia that you can display on your mantle? Talented painters can capture your venue, ceremony, or even first dance and leave you with a one of a kind keepsake. Support a local artist that you love and get a romantic painting that you’ll cherish forever.

Unique Wedding Decor

Next, you could incorporate your vows into your decor! Reciting your vows is one of if not the most personal and romantic parts of your wedding. Now, I know what you’re thinking: How on earth am I going to do that? There are tons of lettering specialists that can display them in your reception venue on walls, centerpieces and more! This will affirm your dedication to each other, and serves as a personal touch for those who maybe couldn’t hear you during the ceremony.

Unique Color Palettes 

There are a handful of tried and true wedding color pallets out there to choose from.  But if you wanted to personalize your celebration even more a great idea is to incorporate your birth stones.  No matter the gemstone, incorporating elements of your birthstones into your color scheme will add a subtle but personal touch to your big day!

The best way to make your wedding unique is to keep things personal.  Think about what elements of you and your spouse can be incorporated in not just the ceremony but every part of the wedding day. Whatever you decide to do on your big day, keep it personal and you’ll be happy.

Does Your Top Pick Live Too Far Away?

/in , , /by

The minute you get engaged you might already have someone in mind to be your best man or maid of honor.  It happens all the time.  You make a pact with your roommate from college or your childhood best friend to choose each other for those big roles but then life happens.  People move out of state and you have to ask yourself: do they live too far away?

Is Your First Choice Too Far Away?

Whenever talking about who your best man and maid or matron of honor is, it’s best to pick someone local.  Generally, for all of the responsibility and jobs they do, an out of state maid of honor or best man is just too far away. For example; if you’re planning a wedding in Pittsburgh and your first choice for the job lives in Florida or California, it will be very hard for them to plan all the different aspects locally while they live out of state.

 

Also, when you are choosing who is going to have this big role in your wedding you have to consider that everyone has their own lives going on too.  Things are going to be more difficult for them to venture off and plan when they aren’t in the same state as the vendors they are trying to coordinate with.  So be cautious when choosing a person that lives out of state. Think about the planning process for the wedding shower or the bachelor and bachelorette parties. It makes the job so much easier to tackle when you are in the same city you’re planning the event in. 

Consider Their Needs As Well!

Those people who do live out of state though do not have to be completely excluded! Whether its as a guest or another member of the bridal party, there are more ways than one to make your loved ones feel included in the wedding without overwhelming them. Maids of Honor and Best Men have so many extra duties that they are required to do.  Make things easier on yourself and your loved ones by picking someone convenient.

How To Choose Your Maid of Honor or Best Man

/in , , /by

Wedding planning can be such a fun and unique experience if you have the right support system.  Organizing bach parties, coming up with fun themes and having all of your friends and family come together are some of the best parts about a wedding!  However, this can turn sour if you don’t have the right Maid of Honor or Best Man at your side to help you with everything.

How to Choose?

There is a lot of responsibility wrapped up in being a Maid of Honor or Best Man.  It truly isn’t a popularity contest. You want to make sure that whoever you put in the position of Best Man or Maid of Honor are the ones that are the most responsible. We see this all the time! People put their party animal friends in place of someone accountable.  Sure you have this crazy shared experience hangover style with Rob but will Rob black out during the reception? You love them and maybe the party animal friend will make a great groomsmen, but you have to ask yourself: do I trust them to be responsible?

What Makes A Great Maid of Honor or Best Man?

If you are new to wedding planning, a maid of honor or a best man has a lot of responsibility.  Between planning and organization and a whole mess of other financial obligations.  The planning process with the right maid of honor or best man will be a fun and fantastic time! But, if you pick the wrong one, the added stress will be nothing to joke about. The best person for the job is that reliable “mom” friend of the group.  The one that is financially stable and always shows up on time.   Make sure whoever you pick can live up to the expectations of that high title!
