Wedding After-Party Ideas in Miami and Fort Lauderdale
The venue closes. Your friends don't want to. How to plan an after-party at the house, with the timing and the shoes sorted out.
Most receptions end on the venue's clock. The after-party is where the wedding party, the cousins who flew in and the friends who never leave early keep going. Here are the options in South Florida, and how to make the at-home one work.
The usual options
- A bar or club: easy, but you're sharing it with strangers, and moving a group across town late at night takes planning.
- A hotel suite: fine for ten people, not for a dance floor.
- The house: your music, your guest list, and a private nightclub on the lawn.
Why the house works
If the couple or the family has a home with a yard, the after-party can start the minute the reception ends. Our crew sets up about three hours before the start time, so the club is cold, lit and ready while the reception is still going. We rent by the event, not by the hour, and break everything down when the night is over.
Plan the night
- Size: the Small holds up to 20 guests, the Large up to 50.
- Shoes: put a basket of flip-flops by the entrance. Heels and hard buckles damage the floor liner, and nobody wants to dance in them at the end of a wedding anyway.
- Drinks: champagne and light drinks can come inside. Red wine, the cake and the late-night food stay outside.
- Music: add a DJ, or plug in the playlist over Bluetooth.
- The entrance: a red carpet for the couple's arrival makes the first after-party photo.
Not just the wedding night
The same setup works for an engagement party in the backyard, a welcome party the night before, or a rehearsal dinner that turns into a dance.
