Every couple dreams of a wedding that feels unforgettable; a celebration filled with beauty, laughter, and moments that linger long after the last song. While stunning décor and delicious cuisine set the stage, it’s the entertainment that truly brings the day to life.
At Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, we believe weddings should reflect the couple’s love story. The right entertainment creates atmosphere, connection, and those unforgettable memories that make your big day feel one-of-a-kind. Here are some creative ways to surprise your guests and make your wedding truly shine
1. Live Music That Matches the Mood
Nothing captures emotion quite like music. From romantic ceremony moments to an energetic dance floor, the right performers and songs can completely transform the atmosphere.
Picture a string quartet performing modern love songs as you walk down the aisle, or a solo guitarist serenading guests during cocktail hour. For a reception that builds energy throughout the night, consider adding a live saxophonist or violinist to accompany your DJ, blending classic charm with contemporary beats.
At Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, our versatile spaces allow for everything from elegant acoustic setups to vibrant party bands. Whether indoors in The Pavilion or outside under the Sperry Sailcloth tent, music helps tell your story most beautifully.
2. Crafting the Perfect Wording
Culinary experiences can double as entertainment when you make them interactive. Guests love being part of the action, especially when it involves food and drink.
Think custom cocktail bars where guests can build their own drink based on your wedding theme, champagne shelves, or a raw bar station that sparks conversation and excitement. These experiences turn mealtime into a memory, especially when paired with Wentworth by the Sea Country Club’s refined dining service and scenic settings.
3. Photo & Video Experiences
Everyone wants to capture the joy of a wedding, so why not make it part of the fun? Move beyond the traditional photo booth and try something interactive, like a 360° video booth, slow-motion camera setup, or vintage-inspired photo caravan.
For a more refined touch, create an elegant photo lounge with curated backdrops that reflect your décor theme, with lush florals, soft lighting, and a hint of sparkle.
These experiences encourage guests to mingle, laugh, and share memories instantly. Plus, they leave you with incredible keepsakes to relive the joy for years to come.
4. Live Artists & Performers
Live art brings energy and emotion to your wedding day. Imagine a live painter capturing your first dance in real time or a calligrapher creating personalized keepsakes for guests.
For an outdoor celebration, acoustic performers can engage guests during cocktail hour. Couples looking for a sophisticated twist might consider spoken-word poetry, live sketch art, or a violinist creating a dreamy soundscape.
At Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, our spacious reception spaces and flexible layouts allow performers to become part of the ambiance, not just the background.
5. Games & Guest Interaction
For couples who love laughter and lighthearted fun, wedding games are a great way to keep energy high between dinner and dancing.
Lawn games like cornhole, giant Jenga, or ring toss are perfect for outdoor weddings. For younger guests, set up a cozy corner with coloring pages or crafts to keep them entertained.
Games add warmth and informality, a reminder that weddings are meant to be joyful celebrations shared with everyone you love.
6. Sparklers & Light Displays
If you’re looking for a show-stopping finale, few things compare to the magic of a light display. Sparkler send-offs create incredible photo opportunities and unforgettable emotion.
Indoor receptions can enjoy an equally dramatic flair with LED dance floors, uplighting, or choreographed light shows that match the beat of your favorite songs.
With the right planning and coordination, our Wedding & Events Team can help you execute these ideas safely and beautifully, ensuring the night ends as spectacularly as it began.
7. Themed or Seasonal Touches
Adding a touch of seasonality or theme can make your entertainment even more meaningful. A winter wedding might feature a hot chocolate bar, while a New England summer celebration could include a nautical theme.
At Wentworth by the Sea Country Club, our private country club’s natural beauty on the New Hampshire Seacoast complements every season, offering a stunning backdrop for your vision to come alive.
Bringing It All Together
Entertainment isn’t just about keeping guests busy; it’s about creating emotion, joy, and connection. Whether your style is classic, whimsical, or modern, Wentworth by the Sea Country Club offers the perfect backdrop to bring your vision to life.
