Wedding Drinks Reception Game Hire London

Wedding Drinks Reception Game Hire London

Looking for wedding drinks reception game hire in London?

Boutique Party Hire provides arcade machines, interactive games and competitive entertainment for wedding drinks receptions across London.

The drinks reception is often one of the biggest opportunities to add entertainment to a wedding. While the newlyweds are having photographs taken and guests are enjoying drinks, interactive games give everyone something fun to play, compete on and talk about.

From a few quick-play games to a complete wedding drinks reception gaming area, we can tailor the setup around your venue, guest numbers and available space.


Games for a Wedding Drinks Reception

Give guests something interactive to enjoy between the ceremony and wedding breakfast.

Popular options can include:

  • Pac-Man
  • Mario Kart
  • Basketball
  • Reaction Games
  • Table Football
  • Racing Games
  • Retro Arcade Machines
  • Multiplayer Games
  • Guitar Hero
  • Pool Tables

Choose games that guests can easily join throughout the reception.


Wedding Drinks Reception Entertainment London

Drinks receptions can last several hours.

Guests are often:

Having Drinks

Socialising

Waiting for Photographs

Meeting Other Guests

Exploring the Venue

Adding interactive entertainment can give the reception another focal point.

Guests can play whenever they want without needing a fixed start time.


Wedding Games Between Ceremony and Dinner

There can be a substantial period between the wedding ceremony and dinner.

Interactive games can help fill this part of the day.

Instead of guests simply waiting for the next stage of the wedding, they can:

Race Friends

Compete for High Scores

Challenge Family Members

Play Table Football

Attempt Reaction Games

The entertainment can then continue into the evening reception if required.


Wedding Entertainment During Photographs

Wedding photographs can take time.

While the bride, groom and different family groups are being photographed, other guests may have little to do.

A dedicated gaming area gives them entertainment while they wait.

This can be particularly useful for larger weddings where photography sessions may involve many different groups.


Wedding Drinks Reception Arcade

Create a temporary arcade during your drinks reception.

Bring full-size arcade machines directly into your wedding venue and allow guests to play throughout the afternoon.

Popular combinations can include:

Mario Kart

Pac-Man

Basketball

Reaction Games

Table Football

For larger weddings, multiple machines can operate simultaneously.


Wedding Drinks Reception Games Area

Create a dedicated games area near your drinks reception.

Guests can naturally move between:

Bar

Gaming Area

Outdoor Space

Lounge Area

Photo Areas

This can make interactive entertainment feel like part of the wider reception rather than a separate activity.


Wedding Drinks Reception Games Lounge

Create a relaxed social gaming lounge.

Combine:

Pool

Table Football

Arcade Machines

Lounge Furniture

Nearby Drinks

Guests can play casually while talking and meeting other people.


Wedding Drinks Reception Icebreaker Games

The drinks reception is often when guests from different sides of the wedding begin properly meeting each other.

Interactive games can act as natural icebreakers.

Create challenges such as:

Bride’s Friends vs Groom’s Friends

Bride’s Family vs Groom’s Family

Bridesmaids vs Groomsmen

Couples vs Couples

Parents vs Children

Guests immediately have something they can participate in together.


Wedding Games for Guests Who Don’t Know Each Other

Large weddings often bring together several different groups.

There may be:

Family

School Friends

University Friends

Work Colleagues

Friends of the Bride

Friends of the Groom

Games can create an easy way for these groups to interact without requiring organised introductions.


Wedding Drinks Reception Games for Adults

Create an adult-focused entertainment area featuring full-size commercial games.

Instead of traditional wedding lawn games, choose arcade and competitive entertainment such as:

Racing Games

Basketball

Pac-Man

Reaction Challenges

Pool

Table Football

This can create a more contemporary drinks reception.


Indoor Wedding Drinks Reception Games

If your drinks reception is indoors, arcade machines can provide weather-independent entertainment.

Create a dedicated gaming section inside a suitable:

  • Hotel
  • Ballroom
  • Function Room
  • Banqueting Venue
  • Private Event Space
  • Dry Hire Venue

This can be particularly useful for London weddings where outdoor entertainment may depend on the weather.


Wedding Drinks Reception Games Beside the Bar

Position selected games near the drinks area.

Guests can grab a drink before challenging friends at:

Pool

Table Football

Pac-Man

Basketball

Reaction Games

This can create a relaxed social atmosphere.


Bride vs Groom Drinks Reception Challenge

Start the gaming with the newlyweds.

Create a quick Bride vs Groom challenge.

Round One

Racing.

Round Two

Basketball.

Round Three

Reaction challenge.

Final

Arcade high score.

Guests can watch before attempting to beat the scores themselves.


Team Bride vs Team Groom Drinks Reception

Turn the drinks reception into the beginning of an all-day competition.

Guests join either:

Team Bride

or

Team Groom.

Award points across different games.

The competition can continue into the evening reception before the overall winning side is announced.


Bridesmaids vs Groomsmen Drinks Reception Games

Create some early wedding rivalry.

Challenge the bridesmaids and groomsmen at:

Racing

Basketball

Reaction Games

Table Football

Guests can watch and then enter their own challenges.


Couples Games During the Drinks Reception

Create quick competitions for couples.

Pairs can compete at:

Mario Kart

Table Football

Basketball

Reaction Games

Keep the best results and announce the winning couple later in the wedding.


Mario Kart Wedding Drinks Reception Hire

Add head-to-head racing to your drinks reception.

Create races including:

Bride vs Groom

Bridesmaids vs Groomsmen

Couples vs Couples

Friends vs Family

Team Bride vs Team Groom

Guests can enter quick races throughout the reception.


Pac-Man Wedding Drinks Reception Hire

Pac-Man can work particularly well as a casual high-score challenge.

Guests can take turns throughout the drinks reception.

Keep the leading score visible and allow other guests to attempt to beat it later in the day.


Basketball Wedding Drinks Reception Hire

Create a quick basketball challenge.

Guests can attempt a score while moving around the reception.

Track:

Bride

Groom

Best Man

Bridesmaids

Friends

Family

Overall Leader

The competition can continue later in the wedding.


Reaction Games for Wedding Drinks Receptions

Reaction games can be particularly suited to drinks receptions because attempts are quick.

Guests can play for a short period before returning to conversations, drinks or other parts of the wedding.

Create a leaderboard and keep the competition running throughout the reception.


Table Football Wedding Drinks Reception Hire

Table football provides quick multiplayer entertainment.

Create:

One vs One

Two vs Two

Couples vs Couples

Friends vs Family

Team Bride vs Team Groom

matches throughout the reception.


Pool Table Wedding Drinks Reception Hire

For longer drinks receptions, pool can provide relaxed social entertainment.

Position a pool table near your bar or lounge area and allow guests to play casually.

You could also start a tournament during the drinks reception and finish it later during the evening.


Wedding Drinks Reception High-Score Challenge

Create an ongoing leaderboard.

Categories could include:

Racing Champion

Pac-Man Champion

Basketball Champion

Reaction Champion

Guests can begin competing during the drinks reception and continue attempting to improve their scores later in the wedding.


Wedding Drinks Reception Tournament

Create a mini tournament during the afternoon.

Qualifying

Guests enter different games.

Points Stage

Scores earn points.

Semi-Final

Top competitors progress.

We used Boutique Party Hire for my daughter’s 1st Birthday Party. We hired a bouncy castle and soft play. Right from the point of inquiry to the point of delivery & collection the process was easy and professional. They are also reasonably priced. The bouncy castle and soft play looked lovely and was exactly what we wanted! The kids also loved it! We will definitely be using this company again and recommending them to friends and family.
Charlotte was very responsive and accomodative of my very late request and change that had to be made. Will recommend and use again.
