We host wonderful wedding shows that connect couples with top wedding pros and provide valuable resources to help you plan your dream wedding.

·      Photo Booth Fun

Set up a photo booth at your reception, watch your guests unleash their creativity, and capture hilarious and heartwarming moments!

Provide props and accessories that reflect your wedding theme or personalize the props with your names, initials, or wedding date.

A photo booth entertains guests and provides them with keepsake photos to remember the joyous occasion.

·      Lawn Games

Take advantage of New Mexico’s beautiful outdoor settings by incorporating lawn games into your reception. From cornhole and giant Jenga to croquet and horseshoes, guests of all ages can enjoy various games.

Lawn games encourage interaction, friendly competition, and a relaxed atmosphere, allowing everyone to have a great time while enjoying the picturesque surroundings.

·      Interactive Stations

Add an interactive element to your reception by setting up various stations where guests can engage in different activities.

Consider a DIY cocktail bar, where guests can mix their signature drinks, or a gourmet food station, where they can customize their meals. Other popular options include cigar rolling stations, tarot card readings, or a temporary tattoo booth.

These stations provide guests with unique experiences and create memorable moments throughout the evening.
