Boutique Party Hire supplies and installs commercial arcade machines into hospitality, leisure, entertainment and visitor venues across the UK.

We can discuss anything from one commercial arcade machine to a complete multi-machine arcade installation.
Suitable equipment can include:
Racing Arcade Machines
Basketball Arcade Games
Boxing Machines
Air Hockey
Arcade Cabinets
Reaction Games
Skill Games
Interactive Games

Commercial arrangements are assessed individually based on the venue, location, available space and opportunity.

Long Term Commercial Arcade Machine Hire
Our commercial arcade service is designed around longer-term installations.
Instead of equipment arriving for one event and leaving the next day, suitable machines remain installed within the venue.
This can provide ongoing entertainment for:
Customers
Guests
Families
Employees
Visitors
Members
The exact hire or placement arrangement depends on the venue and intended use.
Commercial Arcade Machine Rental UK
Businesses don’t necessarily need to purchase every arcade machine outright.
Commercial rental can provide another route for venues looking to introduce arcade entertainment.
Purchasing machines can involve:
Large Upfront Capital Costs
Delivery
Installation
Maintenance
Repairs
Payment Systems
Machine Selection
Machine Replacement
Ongoing Technical Management
A commercial hire arrangement can reduce some of these responsibilities.
Commercial Arcade Machine Installation UK
ADD WIDE COMMERCIAL INSTALLATION PHOTO HERE
Boutique Party Hire can supply and install arcade machines into suitable commercial locations.
Before installation, we’ll consider:
Available Floor Space
Venue Footfall
Customer Demographics
Existing Entertainment
Access
Power
Machine Visibility
Customer Flow
Required Number of Machines
The objective is to create an installation that actually suits the venue rather than simply filling available space.
Commercial Arcade Installation for 1 Machine
Some venues only need one strong machine.
A single machine may be appropriate for:
Pubs
Bars
Smaller Hotels
Restaurants
Staff Areas
Waiting Areas
A carefully positioned high-impact game can sometimes make more commercial sense than several machines.

The appropriate mix depends on the audience.
Commercial Arcade Installation for 5 Machines

Ten machines can create a substantial entertainment area.
A larger setup could potentially include:

At this scale, layout and customer flow become increasingly important.

Machine Performance
Customer Demographics
These opportunities are assessed individually.
Revenue Share Commercial Arcade Machines
For qualifying venues, revenue-share arcade machine installations may be available.
Rather than purchasing equipment outright, suitable commercial venues can potentially have machines installed under an agreed arrangement.
Profit-share arcade installations can provide another model for qualifying venues.
Under an agreed commercial arrangement, machines can potentially be installed and the income generated through gameplay shared according to the agreed terms.
This can allow businesses to introduce commercial arcade entertainment without necessarily purchasing the equipment themselves.
No Upfront Cost Commercial Arcade Machines
For qualifying locations, certain commercial placement arrangements may reduce or remove the requirement for significant upfront machine expenditure.
Suitable opportunities are assessed around:
Footfall
Location
Available Space
Machine Visibility
Customer Profile

We hired a claw machine through Boutique party hire for our corporate event and it was brilliant! It went down a treat with guests. It was simple to use, dropped off on time and picked up as soon as we were done. The process couldn’t have been simpler. Would definitely recommend.
