Every event that we do is different. Some people are looking for a traditional reception or DJ who will just play music. That's fine. Others prefer to have some or a lot of interaction, fun and games.

There are several different "ice breakers" or fun participation type dances and interaction that can enhance your reception. Does this mean that if you book our services, that we will do any of them? That is entirely up to you, we customize every event for you. So, you let us know how much or how little interaction, or fun and games type things you would like us to do, during the consultation. Here are a few ideas to get you started:

Anniversary Dance Do you want to recognize all of the married couples at your reception.  The Anniversary or Generations dance is a great way to do this.  We always like to build the dance floor, not tear it down. We always start with the newlyweds and work our way up. 1-5 years first, 5-10 years next... and so on. Once at 5 years we dismiss the couples by increments of 5 years. When we reach the longest married couple then we recognize the longest married couple by asking them to offer the bride and groom some advice for their marriage. Then, play something like "At Last" by Etta James, or "Could I Have This Dance?" and invite the bride and groom to dance with the longest married couple, about half way through the song we invite everyone else to join in. This is a great way to commemorate all of the married couples.

The Car Wash — Rose Royce This is a fun dance at weddings, especially if you like Disco.   The ladies are the car wash. All of the ladies form two lines on the dance floor and face each other, arms out in front. All of the guys form a line and proceed through the line of the ladies. The guys are the cars going through the car wash. This dance is a lot of fun, especially if you like Disco and Funk music. If all the guys dance their way through the car wash, they can go around and start back through the line once again, and so forth.

The Shoe Game The Bride and Groom remove their shoes stand back to back in the middle of the dance floor. Then tell them to trade one shoe. You just got married, but how well do you really know each other, let's find out. This is always good for a few laughs and draws the guests in. How many matches can we get:

1. Who spends the most time getting ready in the bathroom?
2. Who spends the most time on the couch?
3. Who is in control of the remote control?
4. Who has the smelliest feet?
5. Who is more likely to pass gas in public and blame the other person?
6. Who will control the checkbook?
7. When you were dating, who made the first move?
8. Who snores the loudest?
9. Who wears the pants in the family?

Musical Chairs — Adult Scavenger Hunt Contestants sit in 10+ chairs in one line facing the audience. They have to find one item at a time. Everyone is looking for the same item at the same time, ie: a Pen, a Flower, a new Quarter... you get the idea. Each time they find an item they return to sit in any open chair. They must return each item from whom or where they found it before they get the next item, removing 1-2 chairs each time. The fewer the chairs the more difficult or rare the item you should ask for.

Again, let me remind you that every event we do is different, and the fun and games on this page or other suggestions work for some, while others prefer more of a traditional approach. Sound Sensations Entertainment will cater and customize to your satisfaction. If you prefer to not do any of these or prefer something else, that's great!
