Caricaturist – why not turn your guests into cartoon versions of themselves? With a caricaturist, you can create an exciting atmosphere, with guests amazed and full of laughter at their final drawing. What’s more, guests can take their pictures home, which doubles up as a great wedding favour. Often positioned slightly away from the dance floor, helping to avoid the commotion, this is a great easy-going activity.

Magician – working the tables and going around your guests, a magician can add a dash of mystery, keep everyone engaged, amaze your guests with top tricks, and, if kids are in attendance, keep them amused and amazed.

Cigar lounge – is it possible to have a separate area/location you could use as a cigar lounge? Adding sophistication and a luxurious experience for your guests? Offering a chance to unwind in a relaxing environment while you socialise with your guests.

Prosecco/beer pong is a game everyone likes to participate in. Beer or prosecco pong can unite your guests as they pick and cheer on their team.

Photobooth – a timeless addition to any wedding, photo booths are fun and silly and create lasting memories that you can keep and your guests can also take away. These photos can often be personalised with your wedding date, Mr and Mrs, and you can include props that match your wedding theme and style.
