Not every wedding needs to follow the same entertainment formula.
Alongside your DJ, band and dance floor, consider adding:
Mix different attractions to create an entertainment area guests can explore throughout the reception.
Your wedding entertainment should reflect the type of celebration you actually want.
If you and your guests enjoy gaming, competition and social entertainment, create an area built around it.
Guests can:
Challenge the Bride & Groom
Race Their Friends
Compete for High Scores
Play Pool
Enter Tournaments
Represent Team Bride or Team Groom
throughout the celebration.
Looking for a wedding reception that feels less traditional?
Create several entertainment zones around your venue.
Full-size arcade machines.
Head-to-head racing.
Pool and table football.
Basketball and reaction games.
DJ and dance floor.
Guests can decide how they want to spend the evening.
Modern weddings can combine traditional elements with interactive entertainment.
You can still have:
Wedding Breakfast
Speeches
First Dance
DJ
Live Music
while adding a dedicated arcade and gaming area for the reception.
The two styles of entertainment can operate alongside each other.
If you’re deliberately planning something different, turn gaming into a major feature.
Create a temporary arcade room inside your venue or build several entertainment zones around a large ballroom.
Instead of one attraction, guests discover different games throughout the venue.
Arcade machines can add a playful element to a formal wedding venue.
Imagine guests walking out of a luxury ballroom and discovering:
Mario Kart
Giant Pac-Man
Guitar Hero
Basketball
Reaction Games
Pool
Table Football
in a separate entertainment area.
This contrast can make the gaming experience particularly memorable.
Gaming doesn’t need to replace your main reception.
Instead, create different experiences.
Dining, speeches and formalities.
DJ, music and dancing.
Full-size gaming machines.
Pool and social games.
Drinks and conversation.
This gives guests more choice throughout the evening.
Once the formal parts of the day are complete, open a larger interactive gaming area.

Dance Floor
Arcade
Bar
Live Entertainment
Games Lounge
Photo Entertainment
throughout the night.
This can be particularly useful for guests who prefer something other than dancing.
Games can also work earlier in the wedding.

Pac-Man
Basketball
Reaction Game
Table Football
Guests can compete while socialising before the next stage of the wedding begins.
Arcade games aren’t only children’s entertainment.
Full-size arcade machines can create a competitive social environment for adult guests.
Racing, pool, basketball and high-score games can provide an alternative to spending the entire reception around the bar or dance floor.
Some wedding guests simply aren’t interested in dancing.
Create a second entertainment area where they can:
Race
Play Pool
Play Table Football
Compete at Basketball
Chase Arcade High Scores
They can remain involved in the celebration without needing to be on the dance floor.
