CREATING THE PERFECT WEDDING RECEPTION

AUGUST 19, 2024

Looking to make your wedding reception a blast for your family and friends? Look no further! Among all the reception venues in Los Angeles, Hilton Universal stands out as the perfect choice for your wedding reception. We've got a few fun tips up our sleeve to turn your wedding into a celebration that everyone will remember and rave about!

1. ENTERTAINMENT

There are endless ways to entertain your guests on your wedding day, and one standout idea is to learn a choreographed dance! Not only will your guests be surprised, but they’ll also be captivated by the performance. Plus, if you have any familial or cultural dance traditions, it's a fantastic opportunity to share and celebrate them with everyone. At Hilton Universal, our wedding venue provides the perfect space for your guests to get down and boogie! 

Additionally, you can amp up the excitement by hiring an entertainer, like a magician, or setting up your own entertainment with a karaoke machine. A photo-booth is another fantastic way for you and your guests to capture and commemorate the special moments. If you’re hosting an outdoor reception, consider adding lawn games to keep the fun going all night long. Outdoor wedding reception venues are ideal for adding fun activities like badminton, jumbo Jenga, and croquet. These games are sure to keep your guests entertained and active throughout the celebration. If you are on the hunt for the perfect outdoor venue in Los Angeles, our Ballroom courtyard is more than equipped to accommodate all your needs.

2. SERVE UP FUN FLAVORS

Adding unique and tasty options to your menu can be a fantastic way to spice up your wedding! At Hilton Universal, our customizable menu options and extensive knowledge of cultural cuisines make us one of the best wedding reception venues in Los Angeles. For an extra special touch, consider an ice cream stand, popsicle bar, or snow cone station—perfect for cooling down and adding a fun, refreshing twist to your celebration.

What’s a wedding reception without a splash of fun drinks? We suggest a champagne tower to really wow your guests! For a personalized touch, choose playful cocktail creations with names that reflect your unique story as a couple. These details will add a memorable flair to your big day.

3. PERSONALIZED DECOR

What makes a wedding reception truly stand out is the attention to detail, especially with decor. Unique centerpieces and personalized touches on each table enhance the theme and make the event even more memorable. Little details, like personalized cocktail napkins, can elevate the occasion and keep your guests engaged in your love story. For out-of-town guests, consider providing guides to your favorite local spots or setting up a scavenger hunt for a bit of extra fun. To add more personal touches, you might include a decorative board for heartfelt messages or care packages with essentials for the morning after all the festivities. The opportunities for personalized touches are endless.
