Fun Casino Charity Fundraising Night!

Funny KittenThere are loads of ways to make money for Charity, but we’re a bit fan of a Charity fun casino (obviously!) Charity fun casino nights are an absolute success every time, and there really is no better way to entice guests to donate to the charity you are raising for. Here’s how it works:

  • Find a venue and get the date booked in the diary with your favourite fun casino company. (If you’re looking for a reputable company, I can probably recommend one – and they’ll probably offer you a hefty discount *ahem*)
  • Sell tickets to the event.
  • Buy some lovely casino decorations to make the venue look Ace (pardon the pun).
  • Advertise your event with posters, announcements, blogs, memos and newsletters, basically in any way that get’s your event noticed.
  • Ask local companies and businesses to donate prizes for the highest rollers on the night (Perhaps one prize for each table? The bigger the prize, the more “fun money” you’ll be likely to sell.
  • On the night, sell “Fun Money” to your guests which they then exchange for chips at the table. They can buy as much fun money as they want, and we’ll do all we can to make sure they are generous! You can decide how much each $50 fun money note is sold for. You know your guests better than we do. How much do you think they’ll part with? £5? A tenner? We can discuss this together to get the fee just right.
  • At the end of the night, we’ll tell you who the highest rollers were, and we’ll award them with the prize! Simple
  • When the night is over, count up your pennies like a kind-hearted and charitable Scrooge and revel in your good-doing!

For more information on how to incorporate a fun casino into your fund-raiser, please get in touch and we’ll help you in any way we can!


Wedding Casino in Kent

We’ve just arrived back from a beautiful wedding reception in Kent this evening. It’s always lovely to work in Kent. It’s one of my favourite places in the UK. It’s so close to home too which is lovely, not that I ever mind travelling long distances to an event, but it is lovely when it’s so close!

We took a roulette table and two blackjack tables this evening, and all three went down a treat with the guests! It’s usually the guys who can’t get enough of the Blackjack tables, but tonight, it was a ladies game! The same 7 ladies in fact played on one of the Blackjack tables for nearly two hours (they only left the table because they were forced to join in with “The Macarena” on the dancefloor!)

Thanks to Wendy and Mark for asking us to be a part of their special day. It was a lovely day and we had a fantastic time. If you are looking to hire a fun casino in Kent or the surrounding area, call us today to find out more, or fill in our enquiry form for a no-obligation quote!


French Roulette Anyone?

Casino in ParisOver the last four months, we have been receiving lots of requests for French Roulette as opposed to American Roulette, so, since it’s the first of the fourth, we have decided to give in to the demand and have purchased a French Roulette Wheel and Table. The entire game is in French, and to play, you will need a firm grasp of the French language. I spent much of my youth in France, and I am able to hold a decent conversation, but I have borrowed some phrase books from my local library to brush up on my knowledge. I thought I’d share some of the more common phrases used at the French Roulette Table for those of you who are new to the concept.

ENGLISH: “Place your bets please”

FRENCH: “Placez vos opinions s’il vous plaît”

.

ENGLISH: “I’d like to place £200 on Red Please”

FRENCH: “Je voudrais £200 sur rouge s’il vous plaît”

.

ENGLISH: “What are the chances? It’s landed on Black for the last three spins!”

FRENCH: “Quelles sont les chances ? Il est posé sur Noir pour les trois derniers tours!”

.

ENGLISH: “Well, that was my last tenner… TAXI!”

FRENCH: “Bien, c’était mon dernier tenner… TAXI!”

Wedding Hair and Make-Up at The Beauty Room…

The Beauty RoomThe Beauty Room BackI have found a fabulous company who do wedding hair and wedding make-up. Nicola at “The Beauty Room” is absolutely great at what she does, I watched her style several models for a wedding show in Croydon this week and I was absolutely bowled over! She has a really elegant touch to her hair styles, but without making the hair look too tidy and aligned. I love how she made the brides look contemporary as well as sophisticated. They looked natural even when they were made up. The colours she used in their make up really enhanced their natural beauty, and she has a knack of making imperfections look perfect! Her prices for wedding hair are extremely competitive, and  she even offers a special package for hair, make-up, manicure and pedicure for a fantastic £130! At that price, it would be a great idea as a present for the bride to be from one of her bridesmaids or her mum? Being pampered on her special day will make it all the more special for her.

Wedding Fayre at the Effingham Park Hotel, Copthorne

Effingham Park WeddingOn Sunday, I went to the wedding fayre at the Effingham Park Hotel in Copthorne, West Sussex. Harlequin is based in Copthorne, so it was a leisurely and local day out for us! It was a fantastic day, there were so many brides there and loads of great exhibitors. We met lots of lovely people and made lots of new friends. The venue itself was really lovely. IT’s the perfect place for a wedding reception, especially in the Summer as the grounds of the hotel are so beautiful. The image on the left shows the main room set up for a wedding. As you can see, the effect of the domed ceiling is absolutely gorgeous! This is the room we were in for the wedding fayre. It had a great atmosphere (although it didn’t look quite as amazing as this image!)

We had the pleasure of meeting the lovely Lucy Bartholemew from Inflation and Inspiration, a Balloon Decorating company from Crawley, West Sussex. Not only is Lucy lovely, she is also an incredible balloon decorator! Take a look at some of the images on her website to see just what I mean. Lucy can create so many amazing designs with her balloons and she’s not afraid to do something a bit different. Have a look at her website for more details and to find out how she can make your wedding or party venue look fantastic for your special day!
