Make your event stand out with professional aerialists in Washington DC. WeCirque delivers aerial entertainment that combines strength, control, and visual impact, creating a focal point your guests naturally gather around.
From weddings and corporate events to private parties and galas, our aerial performers are designed to fit real event environments, not just stage productions. Whether suspended overhead or performing on a freestanding apparatus, each performance is built to work within your venue and enhance the overall atmosphere.
Aerial Entertainment That Works for Real Events
Aerial performance is a form of acrobatics where artists perform on apparatuses such as aerial silks, lyra (aerial hoop), and freestanding lollipop rigs. While often associated with large-scale productions, WeCirque specializes in adapting aerial entertainment for live events.
That means:
- Options that do not require ceiling rigging
- Performances that work in tight or indoor spaces
- Flexible formats including stage shows, ambient sets, and interactive service
Our most requested setups include:
- Lollipop Lyra (freestanding aerial hoop):
A self-contained aerial setup requiring only a 10×10 ft footprint and ~12 ft ceiling height. Ideal for indoor venues, ballrooms, and spaces where rigging is not possible. - Aerial Silks & Rigged Performances:
Best suited for venues with adequate ceiling height and rigging capabilities. These deliver a more traditional high-impact aerial show. - Aerial Bartending & Champagne Service:
Aerialists serve champagne or cocktails while performing, combining hospitality with performance in a way that naturally draws guest interaction.
Why Hire Aerialists for Your Event
A True Focal Point
Aerialists create vertical dimension in a space. Instead of competing with background entertainment, they naturally command attention and anchor the room.
Works Across Event Types
- Weddings
- Corporate events
- Galas and fundraisers
- Private parties and birthdays
Each setup is adjusted based on the venue, guest flow, and timing of your event.
Flexible Formats
- Short stage performances (5 to 15 minutes)
- Ambient sets throughout the event
- Interactive aerial champagne service
You are not locked into one format. The same performer can shift roles depending on your event flow.
What Makes WeCirque Different
Built for Real Venues
Many aerial acts assume ideal conditions. We design around actual constraints:
- Low ceilings
- No rigging access
- Tight footprints
- Active guest environments
Freestanding Aerial Options
Our lollipop lyra and specialty rigs allow you to have aerial entertainment without relying on ceiling infrastructure, which is often the limiting factor for events.
Integrated Experience
We do not treat aerial as a standalone act. It can function as:
- A visual centerpiece
- A guest interaction moment
- A service element (champagne pouring)
Benefits of Aerial Entertainment
- High perceived value without requiring a large cast
- Photogenic and shareable moments for guests
- Adaptable to formal or high-energy environments
- Memorable without being disruptive to event flow
