When Small Weddings Bring Big Opportunity | Nashville Wedding + Event DJ

By now, you probably know what we’re all about over here at Snyder Entertainment: good music. But our packages can include more than just a DJ! As many of our holiday events are getting pared down to accommodate COVID-19 regulations, many couples may be feeling disappointed that their wedding isn’t as big and full as it once was going to be.

We believe in helping you find the silver lining! It’s disappointing to have to un-invite friends to a wedding, but it doesn’t mean that you can’t have a great time! We shared some ideas a few weeks back for customizing the dance floor activities for a small reception. Today, we’re back with more ideas!

We have a few examples of our Exclusive Extras listed below. These can be used with bigger events, but they also layer in added entertainment for guest lists of all sizes!


Casino Games | Fun for Groomsmen

Our casino parties have quickly become one of our most requested types of events, and they are traditionally booked for company holiday parties or at corporate events. But one out-of-the-box way to utilize these fun tables is as day-of entertainment for the groomsmen at your wedding. Without all of the hair and makeup to worry about, the groom and his groomsmen typically have a little more time on their hands after getting ready for the ceremony. Casino rentals are the perfect thing to add to a groom’s suite to add extra fun to the day. And, if your wedding has been reduced to only the wedding party, these games are a great thing to keep out throughout the entire reception! A casino-themed reception would be unique, and provide fun for all ages!


Lawn Games | Cocktail Hour Must-Haves

Lawn games, such as corn hole, giant Jenga, and Connect 4 are perfect for your wedding day! Cocktail hour entertainment is a long-standing trend that we don’t see going away anytime soon. But, that’s not the only place where yard games will work! It's important to remember that not all of your guests at your wedding reception are going to be able to be on their feet dancing all night, so why not give them another form of entertainment? Games are a perfect solution for any age!

Additionally, since yard games are traditionally held outside, you can spread them out and keep guests distanced from each other. With the warmer temps that last into December here in the south, you can take advantage of outdoor entertainment like this all the way through the holidays.

Photo Booths

A photo booth really is such a great addition to any reception. It’s entertaining, provides a souvenir, and captures your guests at the peak of your party. Our print booths and social booths continue to gain popularity, and it’s easy to see why…they’re fun! Adding a booth onto an event is a simple task, and you get to be part of the design process. We will customize your print out or digital overlay to match your wedding invitation and colors. You can also bundle a photo booth into an existing DJ package at a discount, saving you money, and making your event more entertaining! Smaller receptions can truly make the most of a photo booth by capturing group photos with many of your guests in one shot!

As an added bonus, our social booths send pictures directly to your phone, minimizing the contact. A quick cleaning of the touch screen between guests ensures that everyone starts with a sanitized surface, and then guests have photos texted straight to them rather than passing around a paper copy.
