Activities entertainment for an after wedding party, not reception

Are you set on everyone staying for four hours? I would expect to stay for two hours for a dinner, three hours would be pushing it. If you can't fit a DJ and/or dance floor, I think the only way to prolong the dinner would be to include some traditional "reception" events, like the cake cutting, speeches, etc.

I would see if there's any way to fit a small dance floor if the tables are rearranged a bit. I think that starting open bar and some light snacks on the table would be good, and then maybe serve dinner 30-45 minutes after start time. I think between a DJ and a photo booth, people will be entertained enough after dinner. You can also space out dessert a bit to spread things out, plus most people want to digest a little before dessert.

Hi Meee! I think that since you are having an opened bar and food, your guests will likely be entertained and having a good time! I think some table games and great music will keep people having a great time, and the photo booth will help as well!

Following this - we're getting married in Nov 2020, at a craft brewery in Connecticut. So providing "lawn game" type entertainment (which feels "right" for a brewery vibe) wouldn't really work since it will be so cold out. We're not planning on having any dancing except our first one, me with my dad, and fiance with his daughter - I'm a metalhead and neither of us like pop songs/traditional wedding music, so we want to just play music we like in the background. With only 36 people invited, I want to provide some optional entertainment that's interactive but wouldn't take away from a "hanging out at a craft brewery" relaxed vibe
