"Expressing Gratitude in the End: The Touching 'Curtain Call' with Staff at the Conclusion of the Reception"

"Curtain Call" is Emotional＊

A "curtain call" is when performers bow to the audience after a performance, commonly seen in musicals and ballet.*

It’s not a greeting as characters on stage, but as individuals who performed.

A curtain call following an emotional performance can become so exciting that it leads to a standing ovation.

☑ For the performers, it’s a chance to express gratitude to those who came to watch.

☑ For the audience, it’s an opportunity to give praise.

It’s the moment when performers and the audience come together in the most exhilarating scene!＊

It's Amazing to Have a Curtain Call at a Wedding!

This article introduces the idea of incorporating the classic curtain call from musicals and ballet into weddings!*

At the very end of the wedding,

the flow would be: Bride's letter ➡ Presentation of commemorative bouquet ➡ Thank you from representatives of both families ➡ Groom's speech ➡ Exit of the bride and groom ➡ End roll ➡ Curtain call ➡ Send-off

This sequence is recommended!＊

The wedding planner, emcee, chef, patissier, florist, hair and makeup artist, photographer, service staff, etc., who helped create the wedding alongside the bride and groom, will line up,

and everyone will bow and greet the guests, which is the standard!＊

Normally, the send-off comes right after the end roll,

but wouldn’t it be exciting if the bride and groom and the staff appeared one last time to say hello? It would feel just like watching a musical, don’t you think?♡

The faces of the behind-the-scenes staff are usually not visible, but when they appear during the curtain call,

guests might think,

"This chef's food was delicious! Thank you!"

"This florist decorated with these flowers!"＊

This will make the wedding feel even closer to them◎

For the bride and groom, it will be a moment filled with a sense of accomplishment, as all the time and effort spent preparing will feel rewarding!＊

I Want to Try a Curtain Call ♡

Are you inspired to create a more emotional and exciting "curtain call" at your wedding?*

If you want to do a curtain call, keep in mind that it can't be done spontaneously on the day of the wedding; you need to ask the staff involved in the wedding in advance.

Particularly in large hotels or guesthouses that host multiple events in a day, it might be difficult to gather all the staff since they may be assigned to other receptions…!

In contrast, a venue that only hosts one wedding a day is more likely to agree to the idea!＊

If you wish to have a curtain call, consult with your planner in advance and make sure to ask without inconveniencing the staff◎
