Make Your Wedding Reception in Kentucky Unforgettable with Interactive Guest Experiences
A wedding is one of the most exciting milestones for couples in Kentucky. From heartfelt vows to a custom cake, every detail matters. After the ceremony, it’s time to celebrate! If you’re searching for the best wedding reception experiences near Crittenden or throughout Northern Kentucky, our team at The Barn at Belle Hills is here to help you plan an unforgettable local event.
In addition to helping coordinate your Kentucky wedding details, our team loves coming up with fun, new ways to create
an unforgettable day for you and your guests. From interactive wedding reception games to custom local drinks, here are some ideas to make your celebration at The Barn at Belle Hills even more memorable:
Interactive Wedding Games
There’s nothing like a good game to get a Kentucky wedding reception going. Giant Jenga, cornhole, and couple-themed trivia give guests a fun, interactive way to celebrate your marriage all night long. For a break between dinner and dancing, try couples’ bingo—a great way for friends and family to learn more about you as newlyweds.
The shoe game, in which the newlyweds sit back-to-back with one of their shoes and one of their partner’s shoes, is also a classic. When a question is asked, such as “Who is most likely to go on a coffee run?”, each partner raises a shoe to signify who they think best fits the question. Having a range of games makes a wedding reception accessible to all.
Picture-Perfect Reception Moments
Photos are the only way we can relive those special wedding memories. Capturing as much of your Kentucky wedding as possible lets you revisit this milestone for years to come. Consider scattering disposable cameras throughout The Barn at Belle Hills so guests can capture candid moments from your reception in Crittenden, KY.
If you want to get people moving, set up a scavenger photo hunt that encourages guests to capture special moments throughout the night—like the first dance, families enjoying cake, or the first dancer on the floor. A photo booth with wedding-themed props is also a guest favorite at Kentucky barn weddings.
Cocktail Hour
Whether you choose an open or cash bar, custom cocktail stations are a fun way to get creative with what you’re serving. This could be as simple as a cocktail inspired by the bride and groom, or cocktails inspired by different relationship milestones (Meet Cute Moscow Mule, anyone?).
You could even create custom cocktail glasses with your wedding date on them for people to take home as a memento of your special night. We’ve hosted weddings with a dedicated cocktail hour while the wedding party takes pictures, and we’ve hosted weddings where the cocktail hour extends throughout the night’s festivities — whatever you choose, it’s sure to be memorable!
