RENT-A-NERD
Wedding Entertainment

A great wedding reception begins with a great cocktail hour. Our fun and unique approach is to have a nerd or nerd couple mingle with your guests during this awkward time.

Posing as your new friends from out of town, this cute, wacky couple are perfectly matched for each other. Dressed in their nerdy best, they arrive at your event ready to party

The moment they enter the reception, the nerdy pair rush up to the front of the line to embrace the new bride and groom, and to give the newlyweds their wedding gift: a set of "his and her" pocket protectors and nerd glasses. Next, this dynamic duo turns to your guests as potential new friends.

Cocktail hour is usually a time when your guests are feeling out of place and awkward, vulnerable and insecure. Hundreds of negative thoughts are raging through their minds: "Do I look fat?" " "I hope nobody asks me about how my career is going." "What do I say when they ask where Harry is?" "Are three-piece suits still in?" "My makeup...." "That zit...." The list goes on!

Nerds to the rescue!!! The crowd becomes more at ease as the ice begins to break. Individual thoughts begin to transform: "I look pretty darn good compared to those two!" "Is that lipstick on her teeth?" "I never knew people still wore plaid?" Suddenly, the attention turns from concerns about one's self to "Who are these two?" This creates a great conversation piece for your guests to engage in, laughter eases the tension, and everyone feels a lot better about themselves after seeing the nerdy couple. You've given your friends and family permission to let their hair down. Everyone knows that it's a joke, but they want to believe in this cute couple, like the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus. I mean, who can resist them when they say, "Yes, we're nerdyweds, too!"

Your nerds will interact with guests for 30 to 60 minutes as they spread the word of nerd. They'll meet new people, make new friends, and probably floss with a few of them. Imagine, one moment, you turn and see Uncle Joe wearing tape on his glasses. The next, Grandma has toilet paper streaming from the front left leg of her walker. It's all very fun and spontaneous. The more fun your guests are, the funnier your nerds will become. That's the beauty of mingling! Each person these nerds meet gets his very own special performance. Mingling lets your guests enjoy their cocktail hour without having to stop and watch a 20-minute show.

By the time your nerds leave, everyone should be loosened up-or if nothing else-they survived (and enjoyed) the cocktail hour!

Prior to the big day, your entertainer will interview you (over the phone) to get background on the scenario and the role to be played, as well as, some information about a few of your more important guests to be used when mingling. Remember, though, your nerd(s) have NEVER met any of your guests, therefore, it's not logical that they know a great deal about any one of them.

Your nerds' acts are incredibly intense and verbal. They are constantly on their toes, which manifests itself in amazing spontaneity and lightning quick wit. They perform on the edge at all times. This nerdy couple will have your guests laughing in the aisles as they drum up new friends to floss with them. These aren't simply people dressed like nerds. These are talented comic performers who have developed fun, optimistic, and creative nerdy characters.
