10 Event Experience Ideas That Will Make Guests Remember Your Event

People remember how an event made them feel and what they did there. Adding a few well-chosen experiences gives guests moments to talk about long after the day. Here are ten ideas that work for weddings, birthdays, launches and corporate events.

The ten ideas

• 1. A 360 photo booth that turns guests into the stars of short, shareable videos.
• 2. An audio guest book where guests leave spoken messages instead of signing a book.
• 3. A VR experience corner — great for tech launches, exhibitions and family events.
• 4. A branded photo wall that doubles as a backdrop for guests' own photos.
• 5. Live event photography so guests can find professional photos of themselves afterwards.
• 6. A same-day highlight video shown before guests leave.
• 7. Personalised printed items such as custom T-shirts or souvenirs.
• 8. Interactive games or quizzes connected to the theme or brand.
• 9. Drone footage for large outdoor venues and grand entrances.
• 10. A clear event hashtag shown on signage so guests' content can be found.

How to choose the right mix

Start with your guests. A youthful crowd may love the 360 booth and VR; an older audience may value the audio guest book and printed keepsakes. Then consider venue space, power and how long each experience runs. Two or three well-run experiences usually beat many crowded ones.

Plan the flow

Place experiences where guests naturally gather but away from entrances and walkways. Make sure each has a staff member, and decide early how guests will receive their photos and videos.
