Editing Wedding reception (section)

===Grand entrance===
Another option, especially popular on the East and West Coast of the United States, is having a grand entrance instead of a receiving line.<ref>{{cite web|title=Choosing Between A Grand Entrance And Receiving Line|url=http://www.belvederebanquets.com/choosing-between-a-grand-entrance-and-receiving-line/|author=Jodi Curry|website=Belvedere|date=15 October 2014|access-date=6 July 2015|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304230513/http://www.belvederebanquets.com/choosing-between-a-grand-entrance-and-receiving-line/|url-status=live}}</ref> The grand entrance might involve presenting some or all of the wedding party, the parents, and/or the bride and groom.

The wedding party is usually introduced by a [[master of ceremonies]], [[toastmaster]], [[disc jockey]], or band leader.  It may be done in the same manner as they walked down the aisle during the wedding ceremony. This is generally much faster than a receiving line and guests may be seated before the arrival of the wedding party. In addition, it can be an event in itself and be as entertaining as wished.  Introductions may be accompanied by music and information about each person to introduce them to the guests. However, unlike a reception line, it does not give the guests an opportunity to speak to any of the people being presented.
