Josh & Susan at The Roundhouse in Beacon, NY
One of our favorite things about Josh and Susan’s wedding was the incredible mix of guests—from toddlers just finding their footing to a vibrant 90-something who didn’t miss a moment of the fun. It’s not always easy to create an experience that truly spans generations, but that’s exactly where the games shined!
Throughout the evening, we watched guests of all ages gather around, teaching each other the rules, cheering one another on, and sharing plenty of laughs along the way. It became less about “activities” and more about connection—those small, joyful interactions that make a celebration truly feel alive. It was analog entertainment at its finest!
Our games were a vibrant, interactive feature for guests that not only leant to the ambiance of the wedding reception, but also allowed their guests to easily connect—without screens—over some friendly competition!
“It was awesome!! Seriously amazing.
Guests raved about the games. I was so happy!”
— SUSAN R., BRIDE
Our game rentals helped transform the already stunning space into an interactive playground, ensuring that every guest had a memorable way to participate in the couple's special day. Josh and Susan chose our Game Rental Package #3 with the perfect mix of classic games that everyone knows and loves, and new favorites that can’t be found anywhere else.
Their nostalgic game selection brought everyone back to their childhood with classics like Giant Connect Four, Checkers, Cornhole and Giant Jenga. Their guests were especially delighted to discover our signature life-sized board games Arches, Gruyere, Four Ball Billiards, Ricochet and Dutch Shuffleboard, all inspired by old parlor room games dating back to the 1300s. Many said they had never experienced games like this before!
To complement the energy of the games, the couple also brought in our lounge furniture, creating cozy pockets for guests to unwind. They chose our Checkers Lounge and Vignette Seating Package to give people a place to sit back with a drink, catch up with family, and take in the atmosphere before jumping back into the fun. The combination of playful competition and comfortable relaxation struck just the right balance, making the entire celebration feel welcoming, inclusive, and effortlessly memorable.
