Earlier in the week we spoke about entertainment for your wedding guests, and highlighted how hiring a magician can transform your wedding from the usual, to the highly unusual.
Today, we delve further into the options available for wedding entertainment and discuss whether to hire a fun to play casino.

Casino table hire is a relatively easy and affordable option of wedding entertainment, and can add a touch of fun and glamor to your big day.
Perfect for the time after the meal, but before the party really gets started, hiring a fun to play casino will get the guests revved up for and keep the conversation flowing. Suitable for both young and old (and everyone in between) the casino tables will bring everyone together as the professional croupiers entertain your guests with their skills.

For those of you who are not familiar with the format, the wedding guests will each receive a fun voucher, allowing them to “buy” an allocated amount of chips for playing at the tables. You can hire different games, usually companies have a full range of games available including Blackjack, Roulette, Craps, Chuck a Luck, Texas Hold’em & Stud Poker. Choose the game that you think your wedding guests will find the easiest to join in the fun, simpler games like a roulette table, and blackjack (21′s) are generally “safe bets”.

Once the casino tables are set up at your wedding reception venue, the guests are invited to start gambling their fun chips. Any winnings are paid out in these chips, and at the end of the event the wedding guest with the most amount of chips usually win a prize courtosy of the casino hire company, often a bottle of champagne or similar.

If you’ve hired a big wedding venue and are concerned about the size of it in comparison to the amount of guests you have attending, then hiring a couple of casino tables to fill up the room could be the perfect solution.
In our opinion, this entertainment option will only fill a couple of hours early evening, it’s great fun, and it will immediately draw in your evening guests into the party, but after a couple of hours it’s worth clearing them away to continue with the real party on the dancefloor.
