Fun, Local Reception Ideas for Oshkosh Weddings
Here are a few fun reception touches we loved at this Oshkosh wedding:
- Pizza for dinner — a big hit with guests and a casual, crowd-pleasing option.
- Dessert: Ice cream and cheesecake instead of cake.
- Photo Race activity: Guests completed photo challenges during dinner. It was interactive, creative, and hilarious.
First Dances That Tell a Story
First Dance: “Surf” by Mac Miller – cool, intimate, and relaxed.- Father/Daughter: “My Little Girl” by Tim McGraw – timeless and emotional.
- Mother/Son:
“Suburbs” by Arcade Fire – artsy and heartfelt.
- Mothers & Daughters:
“Dancing Queen” – Mamma Mia! – pure joy.
These intentional moments made this Fox Valley wedding both unique and unforgettable. Their DJ, Nick c said “It's hard to pick out just one highlight of the evening because everyone was so engaged throughout the evening” He invited them both to the Dj booth to DJ, and had an 80s hat that he put on Gibson and invited him to Scratch mix to “It’s Tricky” by Run DMC. Everyone, his friends & family loved it. The Dance floor stayed packed, and late in the evening turned into an EDM concert.. What a Great couple to be able to be a part of their special day.
Private Last Dance = Pure Magic
Their private last dance to “New Year’s Day” by Taylor Swift was a standout moment. We highly recommend ending your night this way—it gives couples a chance to breathe, reflect, and close the night just the two of them.
