Wedding Trend of the Week: Nightclub Receptions

How to play up the party vibes at your reception.
Bridal Trend: Club Style Receptions

By Charli Penn · Updated October 28, 2020
After you tie the knot, you want to celebrate the monumental occasion in style. Receptions are always a good time, but nowadays more and more brides are taking a cue from their favorite nightclubs to ensure they get the party started right.

Whether they book a local celebrity deejay or rent out their favorite weekend hotspot for the occasion, brides and grooms are pumping up the party vibes at their wedding receptions.

Want to make this trend your own? Inquire with your favorite deejay to see if he or she does private parties and if they’re available on your day. To play up the moment, consider having a “VIP list” at the door to serve as a seating chart and hire a well-dressed escort to show your guests past the ropes and to their tables. Are you all about the memories? Put a new spin on the photo booth concept and instead have “paparazzi” outside snapping photos of guests on a red carpet prior to entering your reception. The options are endless – all that matters is that you have fun with it and make your wedding party your own.

Recent Bridal Bliss couple Katrina and Keinon threw a “parception” at a chic hotel lounge after their ceremony. See photos from their fabulous wedding below.
