I Want to Know Amazing Wedding Reception Performances ♡

One of the items that brides worry about while preparing for their wedding is the reception performance.

Many brides want to incorporate unique performances that can entertain their guests, in addition to the classic ones.

That being said, coming up with an idea for “a performance that guests have never seen” from scratch is a high hurdle!!

In such cases, let's get ideas from the examples of senior brides ♩

In this article, we will introduce plenty of unusual wedding reception performance ideas.

You should be able to feel both the surprise of “I didn't know there was such a performance!” and the inspiration of “I might be able to do this!” ♡

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ① Pizza Cutting

The first performance we introduce is the [pizza cutting] where the bride and groom cut a large pizza instead of a wedding cake!

It is perfect for a casual and homey party.

There are various ideas that can be developed for the pizza cutting performance ♩

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ② Projection Mapping

Next, we introduce a performance using projection mapping.

When the venue darkens, a wall of the reception venue lights up with photos of the couple and their guests.

While a usual profile movie shows one photo at a time, projection mapping allows you to showcase many photos at once, which is the allure of this technique ♡

Guests are likely to enjoy this as a group activity＊

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ③ Musical On the Dish

Here’s a surprise performance where the groom entertains the guests with a performance called "Musical On the Dish" ♡

The chef and the groom make Caesar salad right in front of the guests while dancing to the music.

The groom has fewer personal highlights during the ceremony and reception compared to the bride.

Incorporating a performance that highlights the groom will surely please his family and guests ♩

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ④ Grilling Steak

Here’s another unusual performance that gives the groom the spotlight. This groom grilled guests' steak himself!

The scene with flames rising from the griddle elicited cheers from everyone at the venue ♡

Wearing a chef's hat and looking like a proper chef is also stylish ♩

The meat grilled by the groom was then sauced by the bride and served to the guests.

The guests will surely appreciate the couple’s hospitality.

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ⑤ Geisha

An elegant performance featuring geisha at the reception, unique to Japanese weddings.

Most guests are likely to see a real geisha for the first time. The geisha’s dance and music elevate the wedding reception.

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ⑥ Hair Show

A hair show where the groom styles the bride's hair right in front of the guests!

The groom arranges the bride's hair as she quickly changes from her wedding dress into a colored dress.

The groom is not a hairstylist and has reportedly only done hair styling for the first time. He practiced a lot leading up to this day ♡

Although the couple may be absent for about 30 minutes during the outfit change, such a change increases the time they can spend with their guests.

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ⑦ Taiko Drum Performance

We have discovered a striking performance where the bride and groom showcase a taiko drum performance.

Performing taiko while dressed in a wedding dress and tuxedo is quite stylish.

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ⑧ Mochitsuki

This performance features the bride and groom doing mochitsuki! Instead of cutting the wedding cake, they can do this as their first joint task.

Please treat your guests to freshly made rice cakes ♩

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ⑨ Sand Clock Ceremony

The sand clock ceremony involves guests pouring sand into a large empty hourglass, which the bride and groom then turn over.

This represents the moment when "their time begins," witnessed by the guests.

It can be paired with the table round, where the bride and groom collect sand by going round to each guest table too ◎

Unusual Wedding Reception Performance ⑩ Sky Lantern

The last performance we introduce is the [sky lantern] performance. Lanterns with LED candles float up to the ceiling, held by balloons.

It feels like a scene from Rapunzel’s world ♡ A romantic performance that will be unforgettable once seen.
