Why We Love Nanina’s In The Park
What makes Nanina’s In The Park stand out is its entertainment geography. The cocktail space is spread across multiple connected areas, which opens the door to something a lot of venues can’t offer, multiple performers playing in different spots at once, including a piano available right in the lobby. Picture a pianist greeting guests as they arrive while a jazz trio sets the tone in another part of the space. The ceremony space is just as strong, a genuinely beautiful setting for live music before the day moves into cocktail hour.
What Entertainment Works Best at Nanina’s In The Park
A DJ, hybrid, or full band all work well in the Grand Ballroom. The room does have a concave ceiling cutout above the dance floor and marble finishes, characteristics that call for an entertainment company with real experience in that exact space to get the sound right. As an in house vendor, EMG has extensive experience with this room and brings sound equipment built to account for it, so the ballroom sounds great no matter which format a couple chooses.
Ceremony Music at Nanina’s In The Park
The ceremony space at Nanina’s is genuinely well suited to live music. A string trio or string quartet is a classic, elegant choice here. A violin and cello duo also works beautifully for a more intimate ceremony moment.
Cocktail Hour Music at Nanina’s In The Park
Because the cocktail space at Nanina’s is spread across multiple areas, couples can get creative here, placing a pianist in the lobby while a jazz trio or strolling musician covers another part of the space. This layout makes it easy to give guests a different musical moment depending on where they’re standing, rather than one single performance everyone has to gather around.
Reception Entertainment Options
DJ: A flexible option for the Grand Ballroom, with an event host who can read the room and a sound setup tailored to the space.
Hybrid: Brings live energy and the best of both worlds, with sound equipment chosen for the room’s specific acoustics so the live elements come through clearly.
Band: A strong fit for couples who want a fully live reception, with the right sound setup ensuring the band fills the room cleanly despite its ceiling and marble finishes.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is a band or DJ better at Nanina’s In The Park?
Both work well in the Grand Ballroom. The right choice comes down to preference, since the room can sound great with either format when the sound is set up correctly.
Why does the cocktail hour layout at Nanina’s matter for entertainment?
The cocktail space is spread across multiple connected areas rather than one single room, which means couples can place different performers in different spots, a pianist in the lobby and a jazz trio elsewhere, for example, giving guests a layered experience as they move through the space.
Why should I work with an experienced vendor for the Grand Ballroom?
The ballroom’s concave ceiling cutout above the dance floor and its marble finishes can cause sound to reflect unevenly without the right setup. An entertainment company with real experience in this specific room knows how to account for those characteristics so the sound stays clean.
