Wedding entertainment advice - Interactive jukebox & Casino

Hi everyone!

I'm new to this forum so hope I'm posting this in the right place! I'm getting married next year - 31 July 2016 - and I've got most things booked & done except the entertainment. We were hoping to have some kind of interactive jukebox as we aren't keen on spending money on a DJ that nobody will dance to. Both our families aren't big dancers and so we were thinking of having something going on in the background for those who do want to dance, such as an interactive jukebox. I'm struggling with figuring out what company to go for and feel uneasy about booking one that I have no idea on the credibility or reliability of their services. So can anyone recommend something similar (or better?). Has anyone had experience of booking some kind of interactive jukebox?

Secondly, we'd love to have a couple of casino tables to keep people occupied, blackjack & roulette. Again, has anyone had this at their wedding and could you recommend anyone for this?

Thanks very much

I know Gala casinos have a hire division because I photographed an event they were at a couple of years ago. It's all proper tables and trained staff.

I haven't come across anyone hiring juke boxes for one off events... I know there's a company that do them for home rental.

The problem with a juke box is that people will select their favourite music because they want to hear it. They might not want to dance to it!

My sister has casino theme at her wedding 5 years ago and it was a big hit. Love the jukebox idea too

Where abouts are you.

Here in Leicester I have seen casinos at a few weddings and usually set up during the meal and are there for ready for the eve guests also. They even encouraged the guests to have a go at being the croupier for a bit of fun - this is a bridesmaid.

This looks awesome. My wedding is in Yateley, Hampshire (literally on the border of Berkshire though!). Probably too far? :/ Sounds perfect though!

Heres another shot, this one the roulette maybe you can even get your own money printed with your faces on and each guest get £100 that they exchange for chips and make a competition out of who wins the most perhaps.

That's exactly what we wanted to do! I wanted to put the fun money with the wedding favours so people have something to look forward to in the evening What's the company called in these pics? Maybe I could get in touch to see if they travel.

Some wedding fairs/open days local to your venue may have casino table suppliers exhibiting so may be worth investigating, also if you look at the preferred suppliers for your (or local) venues you might find something there?

Good luck! Great idea!!
