We’re Twitterpated…

twitter-home-page-thumbHow thoroughly modern of us. We’ve gone and put ourselves on Twitter this week. The whole world seems to have gone Twitter mad. Everyone’s doing it, from Jo Bloggs down the street to A-List celebrities like Demi Moore and Britney Spears. We had to have a look, just to see what all the fuss was about, and we ended up losing ourselves for a good few hours. It’s surprisingly captivating reading daily, 140 character monologues from Stephen Fry or catching up with the latest news and events from your favourite bands.

So if you have a Twitter page already, why not “follow” us (yes, we even learned the terminology!) and send us a “Tweet”, or if you haven’t a clue what we’re talking about, take a look for yourself. It’s amazingly voyeuristic and a little hyped up, but surprisingly addictive.

Evening Entertainment for Your Wedding

SDC13075

Blackjack at a Wedding Reception

If you’re planning a wedding, you will probably be feeling snowed under with hundreds of ideas and inspirations on how to make your big day the best you can. There are countless ways to style your wedding, and thousands of different things that can be done to make your day unique and memorable for you and your guests.

When it comes to evening entertainment for your wedding, the chances are, if you haven’t already booked a DJ/Band/Singer, then you probably will be doing so at some point in the not too distant future. A wedding reception without music is like a wedding cake without icing – Just plain wrong! At a wedding reception, the bride, the bridesmaids, the bride’s friends, sisters and colleagues and all the kids will dance until their feet fall off! And what young girl can resist racing to the dance floor when they hear the first few bars of “Saturday Night!” (Unless of course, you have cleared it with the DJ to avoid cheese at all costs… I highly recommend it myself!)

So that’s quite a certain percentage of your guests catered for, but what about those who are unlikely to want to dance on the night? There are always a large number of guests who, for many various reasons, will not want to get up and make shapes on the dance floor, no matter how many glasses of wine or beer they have consumed! Chances are, your Dad, Uncle Jeff, Grandad and the groom’s work buddies will sit at their tables for the next four hours, regularly filling their pint glasses and fiddling with their wedding favours until the DJ calls “Time-at-the-bar.” If you want to ensure that they have a fabulous time too, you might consider having a wedding fun casino to keep them thoroughly entertained? Even if they are unsure of the rules, our professional croupiers will be only too happy to teach them how to play in next to no time. It doesn’t matter where we take our fun casino tables, whether they feature at weddings, fund raisers, parties or birthday’s the atmosphere that surrounds the tables whilst in play is always the same… ELECTRIC! People are shouting, whooping, commiserating and laughing together. If your guests don’t know each other, it’s the perfect way to get them to interact. Everyone loves a bit of friendly competition, and because the money is not real, it’s all just for good fun!

A wedding fun casino is the best fun these anti-dancers will have ever have had at a wedding, that much is nearly guaranteed!

Fun Casino in Copthorne

It’s Saturday night and once again, Harlequin had the pleasure of hosting a New Year’s  fun casino party in Copthorne, West Sussex.

Just like in any real casino in Las Vegas, Harlequin fun casino hire has casino tables with genuine Las Vegas playing cards and chips, expert croupiers with intrinsic knowledge of the games, and all the thrill and excitement of taking a gamble. The only difference is that a fun casino is played for fun money and no real money changes hands. At the beginning of the night, all guests are given the same amount of fun money. This money is then exchanged for  casino chips, which can be played on any of the fun casino tables, then at the end of the night, the player who has managed to accrue the most amount of fun money either in cash or chips, wins! The winner is the awarded with a prize.

It’s that simple, and a huge amount of fun, without any of the worry involved when betting real money.

Harlequin Fun Casino are available for hire to entertain your friends and guests at any event. We can even help to theme the event for you. Just get in touch and we’ll help you plan!

Fun Casino for Hire in Hampshire

We had a fabulous evening in Southampton last night. About 10 minutes from where Halrequin are based, we took three gorgeous casino tables to the party and entertained 100 guests for the evening. Everyone had a great time, the casino tables were bustling from beginning to end, and there’s never a dull moment when you hire a fun casino. Tonight’s party had a casino theme, but there are so many themes you can work into your fun casino. There’s the ever popular Hollywood theme, the Las Vegas theme, Monte Carlo, Heaven and Hell, America, Gangsters and Molls, the list goes on and on! If you add a theme to your party, there’s an extra excitement and buzz to the night. Most guests will dress up, you even dress the venue up too.

Fun Casinos – Unique Wedding Entertainment

When I tell people about my business, Harlequin Fun Casino, I get a mix bag of reactions – all of which are positive but are also ranging in their approach. It’s incredible to me that some people have still never come across the concept of a fun casino even now, and I suppose that’s just because they are my whole life, but what’s even more interesting is the reaction I get when I tell people that my most popular bookings are wedding receptions. Again, I’m usually faced with that same mixture of responses, ranging from encouraging smiles, curious head tilts and my favourite reaction of all, the look of genuine surprise! Seriously, I think a lot of people don’t actually believe me! It’s usually the people who have been planning their own weddings in their minds for many years, and who have a very clear idea of what a wedding is (and what it is not) that have trouble getting there heads around the concept. It’s a bit unconventional to have a casino table at a wedding reception, and I think when it comes to wedding entertainment,  a lot of people plan as far as the DJ or band for the night and look no further. I don’t know if the rise in television programmes such as “Don’t tell the bride” or Living TV’s “Four Weddings” have had any kind of impact, but it seems that these days, more and more brides and grooms are looking for new ways to keep heir guests entertained on their wedding day. For many people, music and lighting just isn’t enough, and they’re really starting to think about those guests who for whatever reason, are not likely to be dancing. I think it’s lovely that couples are trying to bend the “rules” a little bit and branch out with their wedding entertainment – after all, whoever said there were rules to follow anyway? It’s your wedding – you should be able to do it how you want, not how you’re expected to!

That said, I must admit, when I started the company myself, I had envisaged corporate events and charity fundrisers, wedding receptions were not in the forefront of my mind. These days, however, at least 70% of all of my casino nights are wedding receptions, and between May and August, that figure goes up to about 90%. This suits me right down to the ground, as I have to admit, weddings are my favourite of all fun casino bookings. Having been in a relationship for the last nine years (we are now in our tenth year) I am always looking for new ideas for my big day (if and when it arrives) so I am a genuine fan of weddings in the first place. But more than that, I love love LOVE to attend weddings with my casino tables, because everybody there is there to have a great night. It’s an atmosphere unlike any other, and because of the buzz that’s created around a casino table, the natural high everyone’s experiencing is heightened all the more. I could do weddings exclusively, I really could. Not that I don’t love birthday parties and charity balls and all the other fab events I have the pleasure of attending – but just because I am a very social and thoroughly nosy human being, so I love the closeness you feel from the guests at a wedding.  So if you know of anyone who’s organising a wedding and you think they’re the kind of people who might like to do something a bit special for the evening reception, send them in my direction and I’ll make sure they have a night to remember!
