Even though the main elements for a reception on the water are the boat and the meal, decoration and animation which will personalize your cruise mustn’t be neglected.

According to your budget, the boat and the boarding pier you will choose, you have the following options:

• a personalized scenery on the bank (red carpet, arch of flowers, arch of balloons.…)
• welcoming animation, basic such as a singer – an orchestra or piano bar during the “aperitif” or more surprising such as a saxophonist…)
• table animation with close-ups (caricaturists, magicians…) or musicians passing around the table
• end-of-meal animations which can be dancing animations (DJ or band, orchestra) games (casino, quizzes) or shows….

My advice: keep a part of your budget for floral arrangements (even just a welcoming bouquet and centrepieces) and also to be able to make a photo story of your event: it is a way to give your reception a personal touch and to keep memories of it and being able to share it if you wish.
