Happy New Year 2011!

Just a very quick blog to say I hope you had a Merry Christmas and to wish you all a very Happy New Year. We’ve been rushed off our feet here at Harlequin Fun Casino and finally, things are starting to calm down! Christmas has been absolutely immense this year – we have attended hundreds of parties, met thousands of incredible people, and eaten unmentionable amounts of mince pies (to be burned off in the new year of course) and we have enjoyed every single moment of it… Ok, so there were times when we felt a bit run down and under-slept, but it’s been worth every wink we missed. We are already looking forward to Christmas 2011, although if the truth be told, we are also looking forward to the 11 month break in between as well!

We are off to a huge party tonight in Surrey tonight to see the New Year in, and we are all very excited about it.This is the biggest party night of the year, and we’re really looking forward to it. A New Year’s Eve party casino is absolutely unforgettable, and we’re always glad to be a part of an amazing party night.

I’d personally like to take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to every customer who booked us in 2010, and to all our staff, roadies and supporters. It’s been a fabulous year, and we’ve met some truly lovely people since January. To all our professional croupiers – thank you once again for all your continuing hard work. We’re so lucky to have you! Once again – a very Merry Christmas to you all and all the very best for 2011.

Saturday Night Entertainment…

Well, this made me a happy bunny. At least there was one incredible performance on the X-Factor this weekend. Sadly, I missed it on Saturday as I was working at a Christmas casino night (as per usual) but I enjoyed catching up on Sunday morning. Was gutted to see our Katie get the boot, but she was never going to win it with all the nasty press she’s been getting so I’m glad she went now and wasn’t strung on ’til later and given false hope again. Matt nailed Knights in White Satin, and dare I say it – Wagner did a stellar job of the classic Radiohead track, Creep – in his own, never to be repeated Wagner fashion! (There are fans all over vying for my blood!) Anyway, Matt to win.

Christmas Party in Eastbourne

We had a fantastic night hosting a fun casino party night in Eastbourne last night. The Christmas party was held at The Grand Hotel in Eastbourne, and there were over 200 guests at the party. It was a really beautiful venue and a really great Christmas party. The guests were in the highest spirits (as you’d imagine with a free bar!) and we dealt Roulette and Blackjack all night long. We had a great reaction from the Christmas Party guests, and they all loved us and were chuffed to bits we’d been hired for the occasion. It was bedlam at the casino tables from start to finish, and we literally had to bribe people away from the tables to let other guests have a turn at playing. Once again, it was the Blackjack tables that were in the highest demand, and at one point, we managed to squeeze 12 players in at once which was fun but a bit overwhelming for the dealers! Still, they took it all in their stride, like any good professional would do… I love my girls! It was definitely the right way to entertain these guys, because it would seem that each and every one of the guests had a mild gambling addiction (not to cast aspersions of course) because as soon as the casino tables opened for play, it was like bees around a honey pot! When you hire casino tables for a Christmas Party, you’re pretty much guaranteeing that your guests will have a fantastic time. Casino tables (especially Harlequin’s casino tables) look elegant and opulent in any venue, and they’re seemingly magnetic to women and men alike! With prices starting at just £290 for the night, it’s well worth thinking about it for this years Christmas Party, or if you’ve already organised it, bookmark our site for next year. You’ll be glad you did!

Viva Las Vegas!

Last night was Viva Las Vegas UK style in the Strictly Come Dancing Ballroom, and here are the professional dancers showing us how it’s done! There’s something unquestionably cool about the glitz, glamour and bright lights of Las Vegas, and it seems the tackier the better, but it’s always in perfect contrast with the slick side of Vegas, the stretched out baize of the roulette table, the spin of the polished roulette wheel, the sound of the clay chips being shuffled, cards being dealt, cocktails served at all hours – I could go on. Bottom line, I love Las Vegas. If you love Vegas too and you like the idea of having a Vegas theme to your next event, take a look at Harlequin Fun Casino for a fabulous Vegas party idea. We bring all the sexy slick sophistication of the bustling Bellagio, all the buzz of Caesars Palace, and the excitement of the Mandalay Bay right into your venue.

Christmas Party in Hampshire or Dorset?

… look no further for your Christmas party entertainment, we are the right people for the job! No Christmas party is complete without a fun casino and there’s nothing quite like it to raise the atmosphere at your event this Christmas. There’s something completely magnetic about casino tables, especially Blackjack and Roulette. It has a lot to do wit the fact that the tables look so sexy (well, ours certainly do, I can’t speak for any others) and there’s something incredibly “James Bond” about playing at the casino tables. When you hire a fun casino table or two for your event, you are basically guaranteeing that every single guests has a brilliant time at your party – it’s a completely fail-safe way to ensure the party goes with a bang. Don’t believe me? Just listen to the awesome feedback we recieved this weekend from a client we entertained on Thursday night in Soho…

I just wanted to say on behalf of the company thank you so much for last night, the casino went down an absolute storm. We literally couldn’t move people away from the tables….not even for booze! Honestly I would recommend you to anyone, your tables were spotless and your staff were awesome…

Straight from the horses mouth.. We get emails like this all the time and every single one of them feels like a gold star! It’s our mission to make every customer this happy, and we’ll do the same for you too. If you’re looking for a fun casino for a Christmas party, call us soon as December is nearly full!

Wedding Casino Tables Always a Winner!

We had the pleasure of attending the Wedding reception of the new Mr and Mrs King at the end of last month at the beautiful Highley Manor in West Sussex.  It was a lovely evening with such fabulous people. Many people choose playing Baccarat over other games to have fun gambling. We had a really great night! After the wedding, we received a really lovely letter of thanks from the Mother of the Bride, here’s a small snippet of the letter below:

“Just a short thank you for all your help. We will pass your details around friends and extended family and they can then have a great time too. We loved the roulette and others commented on how professional and friendly you were. Please pass our thanks on to Melanie too you were both great !”

For those who prefer to stay at home and play, GamingSoft is a great platform where you can find the best online casino.

We were glad to be of service, and we’re always happy to hear back from satisfied customers. It was a really beautiful wedding, and Rachel (the Bride) looked absolutely gorgeous. We had a lot of fun teaching the newbies how to play slots casino and watching the experts rake in the fun money. Two of the youngest players at the table managed to scoop £3,000 between them in less than one hour which was mightily impressive. Congratulations again to the Bride and Groom and thanks for having us! If you’re thinking of hiring a casino for your wedding reception, we’re just the right people for the job! With full size, authentic casino tables, you’ll really impress your guests and ensure they have a fantastic time!

Christmas Party Casino Hire

Bah Humbug PartyThe diary is almost full for Christmas this year and it’s not even November yet! We’ve been taking Christmas party bookings since January, and we are now getting very excited about the festive party season. It’s always nice to be busy, but the best thing about doing what we do is that we get to go to hundreds of Christmas parties which are always a lot of fun and really get you into the Christmas spirit!

For those of you who groan whenever the C word is mention (and by C word I do mean Christmas!)  why not throw a “Bah Humbug” party this year? You can ban all things glittery and tinselly and refuse entry to anyone wearing reindeer antlers or carrying mistletoe. You could instruct the DJ to only play chart music, and even encourage the wearing of beach-wear to really get the party heated up and melt all the festive ice? Just a tought…

But whatever you do to unwind this winter, when you’re booking a Christmas event, you’d be crazy not to consider hiring casino tables to keep everyone entertained all night long! It’s a known fact that girls love to strut their stuff on the dance-floor, but a lot of guys would rather stay at home than join in any Macarena-esque Saturday Night organised dance routine shenanigans. For those who do not dance, a casino is a party lifesaver. With all the atmosphere (and more) of the disco, casino tables are always a hit with guys and girls alike, and they add an interesting and quirky dimension to your event. If you think your Christmas party could do with something a bit more this year, give us a bell and see if we can come and entertain you all with our luxury, full size roulette and blackjack tables, complete with authentic Las Vegas accessories, including playing cards which we purchased directly from the top Las Vegas casinos, and have actually been used in play on the blackjack tables up and down the strip! When you book Harlequin for your Christmas party, you’re not just getting the casino tables; you’re also getting the atmosphere, the enthusiasm and the excitement of a Sin City casino all night long! Book your date in the diary before we’re all booked up!

Personalised Casino Chips

Personalised Casino ChipsWe had a great night celebrating Chris and Tracy Reed’s wedding on Tuesday in Oxsted. We took a roulette table and a blackjack table to the wedding reception and we had a great time with all their guests! The casino tables were busy from the second they opened to the second we had to close them down, with several guests sticking around from start to finish! We had a few beginners on the blackjack table who had practiced blackjack from best nj no deposit games, and surprisingly enough, it was those beginners who scooped the most amount of money throughout the night! I’ve always said there’s an element of beginner’s luck with the game of blackjack and I am sure it’s true!

Tracy asked us to supply her with some personalised casino chips for her wedding casino, which we very happily did. Sports betting is represented by odds for all sports events that online bookmakers provide. These bets can be made pre-match or live and most bookmakers offer over 50 online betting options like case de pariuri online. We designed the chips according to her specifications, and Tracy chose to have navy blue and white striped chips to coincide with her wedding theme colours. We can supply personalised casino chips in a range of colours and designs, and they make an excellent souvenir for your guests or can be offered in place of, or in addition to wedding favours, they also make them via online for the the trusted online casino singapore.

Guests bring them to the casino tables when they want to play, and we exchange their special chip for gaming chips. At the end of the night, we have a full set of personalised chips from https://onlinecasinosingapore.asia/ to give back to the new husband and wife as a special souvenir of their big day. The chips we supply are incredibly durable and very professional looking. Everyone was very impressed by Tracy and Chris’s chips and they wanted their guests to keep them as a souvenir. We can provide personalised chips from as little as £99 inc VAT, so if you think you might like to order some for your event, please get in touch and tell us what you’re thinking about and we’ll be able to add something really special to your event.

Christmas Party Ideas

Christmas Party CasinoOk, so you’ve got the unenviable job of organising this years Christmas party and you haven’t got a clue where to start. Well, panic ye not. Harlequin have all the answers, and it’s easier and less of  a nightmare than you’d think! First things first, you’ll need to find a great venue. Don’t worry, there are hundreds within taxi range of you, but do make sure you start looking now so you don’t miss out – the best places get booked up months in advance. When you’re booking the venue, always go for the one which seems a little bit too small rather than the one that seems a little bit too big. No matter the size of your guest list, you’ll have a reasonable amount of no-shows, and it’s always better to make the party looked packed out rather than sparsely populated!

Once the venue is picked, decide if you’re going to offer food at the party. If you are, have a word with the venue, there’s a good chance they’ll be able to provide the food for you. It can appear to be a bit more pricey than buying the food in yourselves, but in the long run, it’s a lot easier and worth the extra money to have someone else do it for you. It’s so much less hassle, and it’ll probably taste better if it’s been freshly prepared.

Next, you’ll need to book some entertainment for your guests. That’s where we come in. We have Christmas fun casinos all wrapped up so if you’re in the market for immaculate and luxurious casino tables, friendly and fun staff and a professional and reliable service, we are the best people for the job. We promise to arrive at the venue in plenty of time, set up quickly and give your guests a fabulous evening to remember! We absolutely love doing our jobs, and it shows in the interaction we have with your guests. We’ve got bags of enthusiasm, and that seems to be a rare quality these days!

Christmas Party

No Christmas party is complete without a close up magician and we are in touch with the creme de la creme of the UK’s top magical talent. There’s something incredibly fascinating and memorable about seeing close-up magic right in your hands rather than on television. Our magicians will leave your guests utterly bewildered, befuddled and thoroughly entertained! If you like, we’ll book a magician for you. You won’t have to do any ringing around, we’ll organise the magician as well as the casino so it’s one less thing for you to have to worry about. We promise you will not be disappointed with the caliber of the magicians we use. They’re the best, and we’re not the only people to testify that! If you’d like more information, please feel free to contact them yourself, or call us today to find out more.

What about other party entertainment? You might have considered hiring a caricaturist, dancers, singers, bands, DJ’s, an Elvis Tribute, a Marilyn lookalike? The  list of entertainers you can have at your Christmas Party is endless. If you want to wow your guests with your party entertainment, just tell us what you’d like and we’ll book them for you. You’ll only have to deal with one company, and it’ll be just the one person you’ll need to call to discuss arrangements with. This saves you so much time and effort, and it’s really simple for us to organise. We have done it thousands of times, and we’ll gladly do it for you too! We’ll make the entire process from booking to party a complete breeze and a total pleasure.

All that’s left after that, is to decide what you’re wearing. I’m afraid we can’t really help you with that, although lots of the girls here in the office are partial to retail therapy and might be glad of an hour of internet shopping if you email them what you’re looking for 😉

See, it’s not so difficult is it? So what are you waiting for!? Start Googling that venue, and once you have the date and the place, call us to sort out the entertainment. We are waiting for your call. Good luck!
