Wedding Venue
Wedding celebrations are increasingly becoming more interactive. Couples treating their guests to entertainment and wedding reception activities have become the order of the day. That said, a recycled reception idea that everyone uses or knows is obviously not the best way to create a memorable experience.
Check out the following creative wedding reception ideas to surprise your guests and keep them talking about it for a long time to come.
Have a Portrait Studio
A well-lit portrait studio in front of a glamorous backdrop, such as our classic European style venue, is a way of rewarding your guests. The benefit of having a serious photoshoot by a pro photographer is to create a timeless classic. Your wedding moment deserves to be immortalized in the best way possible.
A Cultural Dance
There is no better way to showcase your culture in a wedding than with a specialty dance. A Garba, Kalamatiano, or Hora can be quite amazing and unforgettable. That is especially so when you organize it to go without a hitch with your band, and our professional event organizers.
You can spice up things by hiring Bollywood performers or Polish folk dancers. Villa Ragusa will execute the timeline professionally to make sure that it flows without a hitch. Dance the evening away and have fun as everything unfolds in the way that you dreamt.
Offer the Best of Delicacies
No matter how glamorous the wedding reception is, people are going to remember more about the food and the presentation. Make sure you have a caterer that is going to have them raving.
Villa Ragusa has various wedding packages to accommodate the preferences and tastes of everyone. For example, the Hors D’oeuvres package with mouthwatering treats such as Brie Quesadillas with Pear Salsa and Grilled Chicken Skewers, among others, will cap what is an incredible evening reception. Our complimentary package includes two bottles of wine per table and champagne for a wedding toast.
Wedding Venue
There are only a handful of wedding reception venues that can give you a Cinderella kind of experience. There are several factors such as the amenities, services and other minor details that every couple dreams of having in their wedding reception.
The grand staircase, balconies, and the mahogany and marble accents of the classic European style venue are some of what Villa Ragusa offers. But why should you choose Villa Ragusa for your wedding reception?
Ambience and Style
The classic European style and architecture of Villa Ragusa is pretty much the requirement of upscale events such as elegant weddings and anniversaries. The interior decor and theme is clean, elegant, and above the expectation of most. Downtown Campbell’s environment is friendly and low profile for successful anniversary celebrations.
Perfect Location and Amenities
The small-town friendly atmosphere, coupled with ample private parking and easy accessibility, contribute to a delightful experience. The high ceilings, large spaces and long balconies complement what is the perfect location for a wedding. Your guests can sit and chat as they take in the wonderful views of downtown Campbell, in the afternoon sun.
You will find the dance floor and mahogany bar, strategically located and only a few steps apart to everyone’s happiness. Even better, the spacious outdoor balconies and decorative lighting add that special touch to encourage socializing.
Experienced and Friendly Staff
The experienced kitchen and catering staff at Villa Ragusa are responsive, accommodating. The skilled events team is always at your service, and you can fully rely on them to deliver to your expectations and that of the attendees. Everyone in attendance can dance the evening away while the highly reliable staff handles the small and important details.
A full-service on-site catering is at your disposal, but you are still free to use your own catering service. It’s not common to find an upscale event venue that allows outside catering, and that spices things a bit for some.
Wedding Venue
Of course, by the time something is trending it is already old hat, right? Well, these are the up and coming ideas for 2020, so they aren’t overdone until long after your wedding reception. Be sure to include some of these awesome wedding favor ideas for your guests.
Awesome Wedding Favors for 2020
Really, it is all about packaging when it comes to little gifts you leave on the tables for your wedding guests. Packaging will make a simple item into a delightful, well thought out gift. So, do the presentation a solid and upgrade it to fabulous.
Eco-Friendly
You simply must go eco-friendly on everything possible, especially for a California wedding! People do not want to see a single iota of plastic. For your gifts and your packaging, go with very well designed, colorful recycled materials, quaintly designed with bows and shredded recycled paper stuffing.
Embrace the Trends
The latest trends – when used in your gifts – make it all very unique, but timely. Stainless steel straws are one of those types of little gifts people will appreciate. Just because the word straw is now a dirty word, doesn’t mean those wearing lipstick are going to forgo asking for one. A reusable stainless steel straw is the perfect gift.
Color it Blue
Blue is the “in color” in 2020. Use whichever shade of this amazingly bright, happy color that fits with your wedding colors. So, pick gifts that are blue and definitely use a blue shade for your wedding favor packaging’s accents.
Plants
Pick a colorful, little plant that is indigenous to the area of your wedding and package the little guy as a wedding favor. Those who fly in won’t be able to take them home, but you can offer them an alternative. You might use these plants in lieu of table flower bouquets.

Our staff loves to help with ideas for weddings, as they see so many weddings every year that they’ve seen all the super cool ideas. Be sure to ask for some help on ideas from Villa Ragusa.

Wedding Venue
Probably the most popular wedding reception activities loved by guests is anything to do with photo booths or videos made by guests. While the photo booth is still wildly popular and a lot of fun, there are other fun games to play, too.
Wedding Reception Activities
When you’re ready to do something a little different, here are some ideas that will surprise your guests and keep them smiling through the reception.
Advice Cards
Have plenty of premade advice cards and pens printed for your wedding. Let each guest give you their best advice on how to have a happy marriage. Of course, you’ll want to keep every card in an album and bring it out on anniversaries or if you ever have an argument. But of course, an argument could never happen in your happy marriage.
Piñatas
And oldie, but goodie! Piñatas are a wonderful time, so wonderful that you’ll need an adult piñata and a candy filled one for the kids.
Surprise Performance
Hire a professional performer that is known locally or even a big star. Many actors and comedians will perform at private parties. Having someone everyone knows from TV or the local opera house will be very exciting for guests.
Flash Mob
Schedule a flash mob to suddenly start dancing to a fiddle player. They can be mixed in the crowd, then the fiddle starts and they slowly start coming alive to join together for a show.
Trivia
Have trivia game cards at all the tables to help people get to know each other. There’s no need to have actual board games, the cards in a cup are all that’s needed. Include a little sign telling people to pick a card to read aloud.
Villa Ragusa
Villa Ragusa is a beautiful wedding reception venue located in Campbell, CA. Give us a call when you are looking for a place for your wedding reception. We’d love to help you put together some awesome wedding reception activities.
Wedding Venue
Of course, aerial dancers hanging from scarves from the ceiling would be the most spectacular wedding reception activity for guests to watch, but it is tough to find a venue that can support that idea. However, there is something else that will have your guests shocked and enthralled in the show.
Wedding Reception Activity
When things get a little quiet after the meal at your wedding reception, you need something huge to wake everyone up and begin having a wonderful time again. That is the point at which the professional tango dancers are led into the room. Several couples dressed in colorful costumes and tango dancing through the room to the dance floor will have the eyes of everyone at the reception.
There is no dance more romantic or sexier than the tango. Rarely does anyone know how to do the dance, but everyone can’t stop watching as the dancers become ever more intense. It is a song of submission to the heart. A perfect surprise entertainment for the wedding reception.
Everyone wants to do the tango, so having an instructor on hand after the dance will allow everyone to have a fun time learning a few sexy steps. It is a guaranteed good time with loads of laughs and many photo opportunities for the wedding album.
Where to Find Tango Dancers
There are tango dancers in San Francisco.
Try these organizations to locate dancers and instructors to have fun dancing the tango at your wedding reception.
