Entertaining the modern day wedding

In today’s event industry, the distance between “old school” and “new school” is greater than ever. With A.D.D. in America on the rise, holding the microphone no longer guarantees the attention span of your guests.  It’s no longer about saying a few “snappy” lines to get your guests clapping…it’s about engaging one’s audience with energy and precision to keep your guests  entertained and comfortable.

Don’t be limited by the imagination of others. Your entertainment company should embrace your ideas, and build upon them. You can’t let your day be hindered by the lack of creativity of entertainers stuck in the past. One of the many reasons the D.I.Y.  (Do It Yourself)  trend has become so big, is that generation Y moves fast, and refuses to be held back by yesterday’s technology and fads.

One of the most important qualities to look for while choosing the entertainment for your event is versatility: the ability to entertain all of your guests no matter what surprises your special day may bring.

Keira Knightly and James Righton Wedding Music

Did you see Keira Knightley on the Ellen DeGeneres show? When she was on there earlier in November, she admitted that she’s finding planning her wedding very confusing. We think she needs to get in touch with us to plan out her wedding entertainment.

Keira’s marrying musician James Righton, so we know that music is going to have to be a big part of their wedding. The choice of music is important at any wedding, from the music for the bride’s procession to the end of the reception. With our musical expertise, we can set the perfect soundtrack for your day, or for Keira and James.

Of course, you might want more entertainment than just music. Photo booths are great fun, and will make a great change from the paparazzi photos Keira and James are used to.

If you’re planning a wedding or other event in New Jersey, give us a call and let's chat about how you can have a star-like wedding too.

Video Screens Are Great Wedding Fun

Video screens are a great way to add some entertainment to your wedding. They can be used for a variety of things, too.



Some couples have video montages, or still photo slideshows for their wedding. This is great for bigger families who may not know both bride and groom. We can provide you with a photographer to take candid shots to be displayed on the screens.

This can be a good way of sharing moments from earlier in the wedding. If you have a videographer who will do a same-day edit of your wedding video, you can let guests relive the best moments of your ceremony. This is perfect if you’re having a larger guest list for your reception.

Another way of having some fun with video screens is to have a karaoke session at the end of your reception. Instead of just singing along to the music while dancing, you and your guests can be the singers for part of the evening. It’s great fun and something that will make your wedding stand out in everyone’s mind.

Video screens can also be used for other entertainment, too. Get in touch to discuss more options for making your wedding a fun event.

Popular Wedding Trend: Photobooths

Photo booths are one of the TOP wedding trends for 2012, and we see it carrying over for 2013.  Why not?  They're great fun!



Having a photo booth is a great way for everyone to have a memento from your wedding. Our photo booths are just like the ones you’re familiar with, and offer instant prints of the photos taken.

They go one better than the old booths, though. They also keep a stored gallery of all the photos, which make them a great alternative to disposable cameras. The photos from our booths are often some of the newlyweds’ favorite memories of their day.

To make the booth photos even more fun, you can include a box of props for people to play with. Funky wigs, giant glasses, and fake moustaches can all give your friends and family some inspiration for great shots.

If you want to know more about our photo booth, or to check availability, please give us a call.  973.320.3241 experienceexcel@gmail.com

Justin Timberlake's Wedding Music

When an international music star gets married, they can’t just have any wedding band. For Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel’s recent wedding, the groom serenaded the bride as she walked down the aisle. He wrote the song just for the occasion, a destination wedding in Italy.

Of course, most grooms might not be ready to write and perform their own song at their ceremony. Instead of singing, the groom can be a part of choosing the music for the day. It can be a great way to get both bride and groom involved without having to sing.

Whether you prefer live musicians, a DJ, or a combination of the two, we can help you decide on the perfect musical accompaniment to your wedding.
