cirque du soliel for reception?

lsvensson · October 2011

OP, if you're looking for suggestions for specific Cirque shows, if you're still planning on that for your reception-- check out "Zumanity." That is the best one there is (among all the Cirque shows), and is good for every age group/taste. Might be kind of unique, and very guest friendly.

ok this will be my last post on this thread because this is getting ridiculous and i'm over it. "smokeybailey" listen, i would be "grumpy" too if even on my wedding day i still looked like a plain jane. and am i supposed to be impressed with a four course meal? isn't that apps, salad, entree, and desert? oooo wow, you must not get to nice restaurants often.....and as for the elvis guy and dj.....actually it's so tacky i won't even acknowledge it. to the last few poster, just because many brides pay for their own weddings now, doesn't take away from the fact that it is still tradition for the brides parents to pay. and for the people who have been married awhile and still post, get a life. i would be horrified if i was still hanging around pre wedding message boards as a newlywed. pathetic. you know, there is a wedding recap board, maybe head there

...at least I hope this is what this is. If not, you have way more serious issues than figuring out if a Cirque show is a good reception activity or not.

Yay, we got the "get a life" post! And she even went so low as to insult another bride's appearance. Awesome. I'm still waiting for the "I feel sorry for your husbands" one. Just another example of how money doesn't buy class.

vegasgroom · October 2011

I feel a little let down, she left before telling anyone she feels sorry for our significant others; that's kind of the key stone to any good trolling.

direy25 · October 2011

Still wondering if she's a troll or not - she sure likes the Favors board.

lsvensson · October 2011

Damn, I was hoping she would take my adfvice and pick up on my Zumanity tip. I would love to have her sit next to her future-in-laws and possibly her own grandparents at at her "unique" Cirque reception while scantily-clad dancersin S+M attire writhe around the floor and moan.

Would make for some priceless wedding memories.

CamilleJon · October 2011

Let me first apologize bc didn't read past the OP. Generally when threads are this long on this board things have turned dirty and I'm trying to stay away from that...

Anyway, I just want to say that a show for a reception won't allow guests to visit with you and eachother.

What if you did the show after your rehearsal? That way people won't be drinking/parting too hard before your big day.

Good luck!

Honestly it didn't turn dirty until OP made a comment about how boring smokey's reception must have been and that her guests probably dreaded going to it. People actually started out by giving great advice and opinions.

We suggested that initially; she doesn't want to visit with any of her guests because she sees them all the time anyway. She just wants to do something to ensure they know how large the budget is.

What don't you get? I <em>had</em> to respond because the title of this thread is "Cirque du Soliel for reception?" and I think it's a pretty terrible idea. Besides, my comment (or whomever's comment it was initially) is worthy of repetition, I think :)

I don't get that you would make a point of trying to stay away from long (dirty) posts, while replying to one. Maybe it's just me and I'm reading it wrong.

smokeybailey · October 2011

Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh. I am SO hurt. Plain and uncultured? Oh, and tacky. I should crawl under a rock. As an aside, if appetizers count then it was five courses. But what would I know about that? I'm just a plain, uncultured, tacky bumpkin. At the very least, you can read my posts without the grammar and spelling errors killing your brain (like a poisonous mushroom).

Smoky had an armadillo cake.

'nuff said.

AnaC09 · October 2011

If the OP is so concerned about "tradition" (mom & pop paying for her stuff) why is she having a child out of wedlock? (assuming that's her child on the photo)..... no that there is anything wrong with it but it goes to show you how small her brain works.

And why is she posting that question if she already had her mind set up to do the show? She definitely had an argument for each person that suggested not to. These are the kind of people I'm sick of... that think the world revolve around them and have this "entitlement" attitude that everything is owed to them. She definitely has the "Princess-Diva" syndrome! I feel sorry for her husband to be... yikes!

theanglfac · October 2011

I have missed some serious excitement! I have never seen this many posts on one thread on this board.

OP, when we were looking at the Bellagio they mentioned a recent event where they had cirque du soliel dancers that came to the event. I think they actually were suspended from the ceiling and poured vodka in people's mouth. If you want a mix of traditional and non traditional you could have the reception in a smaller ballroom and maybe could have some of the dancers come in. If you officially have booked with Bellagio talk to their catering department about the possibilities. If there is anything I have learned about Vegas is that if you have the money you can do ANYTHING!

Just going to a show is not the vibe I would pick for a wedding night. I agree with prior posters, the shows can be a little slow and cold and if you are wearing any sort of A line type gown it is not going to fit in those seats.
