3. Let the Games Begin: Get your guests in the competitive spirit with exciting lawn games during cocktail hour or post-dinner festivities. Picture this: minigolf battles that will have your loved ones cheering, or an epic showdown of giant Jenga where the tower teeters with anticipation. Not just that, amp up the fun by providing a selection of board games and card games for some friendly competition. Game on!

Watch as the strokes of colour bring your love story to life!
5. Snap, Click, Cherish: Capture the joy and laughter with a whimsical photo booth experience. Set up a booth adorned with props and backdrops that perfectly match your wedding theme. Strike a pose, flash a smile, and let the camera work its magic! Plus, who doesn’t love taking home physical copies of their favourite memories? Have your photo booth print out precious snapshots for your guests to treasure forever.
