Heliummm Writes for ‘Insiders Know-How: Planning Your Perfect Wedding’
We are thrilled to write the Chapter entitled “Entertainment That Reflects The Couple” for Kizzi Nkwocha’s ‘Insiders Know-How: Planning Your Perfect Wedding”. Now available on Amazon.com and MithraPublishing.com.
Here’s a brief excerpt:
Weddings are extraordinary days where two unite to become one, celebrating love and the promise of the future. We all want an incredible, memorable wedding day. And your wedding day entertainment should reflect that special love, your personalities and your vision for your day. But what kind of entertainment reflects who you are?
STEPPING INTO THE FUTURE
While the classics are tried and true, what if you want something a little more innovative for your wedding?
What’s Old is New Again
Let’s face it. The cocktail hour is de rigeur. So why not give your guests an experience they’ll never forget? Augment your cocktail hour with aerial champagne servers. Dazzling beauties dangling from the air, suspended in white fabric or on a lovely aerial hoop. What could be lovelier than having an aerial angel fill your flute with Moet et Chandon? While you’re off taking pictures, know that your guests are being well taken care of with this exquisite touch.
Technology with Heart
In addition to offering lighting options and MCs, DJ packages now often include fun extras. Ask about Text to Screen Messaging. Your guests will be able to text you and your beloved messages that will appear on a large screen on the dance floor – live – during the event! You can alternate between heartfelt messages from your guests
Classic But Curious
Ballet dancers dressed in long romantic tutus or other period attire add an elegant touch. The dancers create lovely atmosphere and beautiful movement as they escort guests to their seats.
The Wow Factor
Aerialists are not just for Sky Candy during cocktail hour. Romantic aerial duets add incredible beauty to the celebration of your love. Make a splash during dinner and speeches a featured solo or duo aerial act. Amaze your guests with the incredible skills of contortionists, magicians, or jugglers. All artists can be costumed and styled to match the mood and look of your wedding. Perhaps to introduce the removing of the garter, you select a tasteful burlesque act!

NY Daily News says Heliummm’s a “Love Child”
Here’s what the New York Daily News has to say about our great classes.
Reporter David Yi took to the air at our Manhattan location for some fun and fitness!
Heliummm Aerial Dance
If Cirque du Soleil and your local gym had a love child, this class would surely be it. Focusing more on dance and aerial entertainment, the session has students hanging from and climbing up fabric dangling from the ceiling. With instructor Heather Hammond — a veteran aerialist with more than a decade of training — the class feels more like playtime than a workout. While Hammond challenges you to complete tricks and tasks, you won’t realize just how much you’ve worked out until the next day when your muscles are sore and worn out.
See heliummm.com for class schedule. Starts at $35. Embody Language Studio, 241 Bedford Ave. #7, Brooklyn.
