2019 Wedding/Event Entertainment Trends: Photo Booth Rental, Games & Much More!

2019 Wedding/Event Entertainment Trends
2019 Wedding/Event Entertainment Trends
Giant Marquee Letters 2019 Wedding Trends
If you're planning a 2019 wedding, quinceanera, sweet 16, holiday party, or any event, in the Austin/central Texas area, then you are definitely interested in the trends! Booking great entertainment should definitely always be a priority! Booking a great band, DJ, or live entertainment is always a must. However, it's always a great idea to consider booking other entertainment options, too. Not everyone dances, or is able to dance, so it's a good idea to consider other options. Here are a few entertainment options you can consider. 
​
  1. Giant Letters Rentals - One new, hot trend is giant lighted marquee letters for weddings & events! What are these? Well, the picture above explains it all. :) These letters are a HUGE hit! Everyone wants their event to be unique and personal. This is one way to do it. You can add your name(s), initials, even numbers for birthdays or quinceaneras, sweet 15/16s, etc. You can also change the light bulb colors, as well. These giant marquee letters are a great way to add a personal, finishing touch for your event! Though these letters may be trendy, they also offer a classic, timeless look and feel. They look great in the background of pictures and your guests will love them, too! Everyone will be taking selfies with these letters, all night at the wedding!​ :)
  2. Photo Booth Rental - Renting a photo booth for your wedding or event is a great way to add more entertainment! Additionally, your guests get a picture to take home with them, which can also serve as your favor! Our photo booth package comes with unlimited photo sessions, so your guests can take all the pictures they want and take home several pictures to remember your fun celebration! We can also add your logo or text, such as "John & Jane's Wedding 12/1/2018." 
  3. Lawn & Giant Game Rentals - Another great option to consider is lawn and giant game rentals. You can rent: cornhole, washers, horseshoes, ladder golf, giant Jenga, giant Connect 4, giant checkers, etc. We can set these up inside or outside, and your guests will have a blast playing their favorite games, while enjoying a beer or refreshing cocktail! :)
  4. Caricature Artist - This is a newer form of entertainment that we're starting to see more and more, at weddings and events. Who doesn't love caricatures? They're a fun keepsake for your guests and of course you can get one of you and your new husband/wife, or the guest of honor! :)
  5. ​Face Painters - Face painters are no longer just for kids' parties anymore! Some of your guests, especially the younger ones, will love this! :)
  6. Hashtag Projection Walls - This is a very new trend. You can take a picture and write your hashtag below it, which will be projected onto a wall. You can even login to one of your social media accounts and ask your guests to tag you or your event, and it will show up in real time, onto the wall. 
  7. Other Live Entertainment - There are a few other options that are popping up, such as: jugglers, live acrobats, live drummers or a drum circle involving your guests, and even stilt walkers! We're not seeing these at any of the events we've done, recently, but they may be emerging, next year!
  8. Mariachi Bands - Though Mariachis may be associated with Latin culture, we've seen them at non-Latin weddings and events! A great Mariachi band is always an awesome entertainment option. They can perform traditional Mariachi songs, but can also perform many of your favorite current or Pop hits, in English, too! 

These are just a few great entertainment options that we've seen. We'll certainly write more as we see the trends. Best of luck in your wedding or event planning!

Saturday, we had a blast providing a DJ for the University of Texas School of Social Work, tailgate! Everyone was ready for a great game against TCU! There was plenty of great food, and plenty of Tito's Vodka cocktails, all day! The guests had fun playing cornhole, enjoying great food and drinks, and of course enjoying great music, provided by us!

Diana was personally requested to DJ this event, since she is a graduate of the UT School of Social Work! Diana did a great job DJing at this event. She kept the guests dancing and entertained, playing a great mix of Top 40, Country, Texas Country, Hip Hop, Pop, Latin, and even a few Cumbia hits from Selena! :)

We always have so much fun at the tailgates and look forward to the next tailgate, soon!

Saturday night, we had a great time providing a DJ and uplighting for a fun 50th birthday party celebration! The party was held at Lucas Event Center, in Pflugerville, TX. This was a special event for us, because a little over 2 years ago, we provided our DJ services for Johnny and Tiffany's wedding! This was Johnny's 50th birthday and we were so glad to be a part of another milestone moment for them! Happy 50th birthday, Johnny! 

We look forward to another fun weekend of providing DJs, photo booths, games, uplighting, and more, this weekend!

​Sunday evening, we had a great time providing a DJ, lawn games and giant games, for a great wedding at Bangers Sausage House, in downtown Austin, TX. Our couple had an off-site ceremony and hired us to provide music for dinner and the dance. We also provided 2 cornhole games, giant Connect 4, and giant Jenga. 

Sebastian and Ciara reserved a large section at Bangers, and invited several of their closest friends and family for the celebration. They enjoyed the great food and drinks, danced and ate some great cake and cupcakes, too. Jason and Diana personally worked this event and played all of their favorite Country, Texas Country, Folk, Indie, and even a few 80s hits! We're glad that everyone had fun and thankfully, the weather was pretty nice, too! Congrats, again, to our newlyweds, Sebastian and Ciara!

This couple chose to go green and give out green wedding favors (no pun intended). The guests loved these little plants and so did we! :) The couple also chose to give out sandals, which were customized with their info. What a great idea! Jason and Diana provided music for the ceremony, and Amy kept the guests entertained at the photo booth! 
The above video was a last minute, spontaneous request by the groom's family. This was a multicultural wedding, and so we were asked to play this song and explain how i works. It was a lot of fun to watch! :) Overall, we had a great time and are glad that our clients and their family and friends had a great, memorable time, too! Congrats, again, Grace & Jafet!

It was pretty funny, since we even included some groomsman! :) Carter was easily able to guess his wife, of course! Congratulations, again, to Jenny & Carter!
