Grand Entrances
The thirty-second runway your wedding party has been preparing for since the day you asked them
The wedding party is lined up just out of sight. Someone is fixing lipstick. Someone is practicing a move they will absolutely commit to. The DJ starts the bass under their music cue, the room turns toward the door, and your bridesmaids walk in like they have been waiting for this since the first time you said yes. Your groomsmen do whatever they have decided to do, which usually involves at least one dramatic spin. By the time the DJ calls your names, the room is already on its feet, and the two of you walk in already laughing.
Grand entrances are the last warm-up before the reception belongs to everyone.
The grand entrance is choreographed less than couples expect and pays off more than they expect. The reception spaces at the Barn and the Lake House give your wedding party a clear approach to the dance floor, with enough room for an aisle to the head table without guests having to move chairs. Your DJ, who is included in every wedding package, will run the music cues so each pair gets a proper introduction without the song running long or short. The lighting at both reception spaces is set so guests can see the wedding party from every seat, and your photographer has a known spot near the entry to capture every entrance from the same angle. Couples planning a Phoenix wedding tend to overlook entrances on the planning timeline and then end up replaying them constantly afterward.
