3 ways to create a "WOW" effect at the opening of an event
Wordfall, Jakub Siemiątkowski

The inauguration of an event is the moment that attracts the most attention from participants. It is at this point that the first impression is made, so it is important to make it as good as possible. Creating a "WOW" effect at the opening of an event does not have to mean expensive shows with artists or complex lighting setups. Here are three ideas that can effectively entertain guests and emphasise the unique character of the celebration.


1. Collective lantern release

Lanterns are a simple way to create an atmospheric end to the official part. They allow you to create a "WOW" effect at the opening of an event, especially in the case of the announcement of the launch of residential developments, the opening of leisure facilities or new zones in public spaces, where the element of social involvement and a carefully thought-out setting of the event are important. Guests can release the lanterns together after a short speech or the end of the main part of the presentation. Such an attraction is inexpensive, but it makes a big impression and encourages social media sharing. However, it is worth making sure beforehand that local regulations allow this form of activity.


2. Cheerleader show

If you want to create a "WOW" effect at the opening of an event, you should opt for a cheerleader show. This is a dynamic, energetic way to start an event, especially one of a sporting nature, and is best suited to arenas, stadiums or commercial projects with an entertaining character. Such an attraction draws attention and immediately sets a positive tone for the event. The show can be synchronised with music, the presentation of the investment's logo or the official greeting of guests. The advantage is that the show does not require an extensive infrastructure and is easy to adapt to the character of the venue.


3. Projection on the Wordfall water curtain

The Wordfall water curtain generates constantly falling water on which projections of your choice can be displayed. To create a "WOW" effect at the opening of an event, a brand logo, an event slogan or an animated announcement of the programme can be presented using it. The effect is unusual and modern without requiring a large space. It is a solution that makes an impression and is known for its innovation.


 Ask for price


The inauguration ceremony is a key moment that can determine the perception of the entire celebration. Creating a "WOW" effect at the opening of an event does not require a big budget - what counts is the idea and precise execution. A Wordfall water projection, a cheerleading show or a lantern launch are just some examples of how you can creatively enchant your guests.
