Casino Parties – never the same!
The casino parties we go to are in some was similar but never the same. Sometimes it depends on the location, sometimes the event, sometimes even the people. In my experience, however different they are, they’re always a great success. Here are three quite different casino parties we’ve attended recently that helps prove the point.
Casino Party for a 30th Birthday
Heather contacted us over a year ago as she was organising her son’s 30th birthday party in a well known golf club near Bristol. We knew the venue – ideal for the size of party Heather planned. There was to be around seventy guests for her Vegas themed event. As well as the fun casino, she’d booked a good DJ and an Elvis tribute.
Good Planning.
As the big day drew near, Heather was sure to confirm with all suppliers everything was in place. However, when we showed up an hour or so before guests were due to arrive – disaster struck! The club’s electricity had blown and there was no power in the building at all. Decorations that had been so lovingly placed that afternoon had to be removed and everyone asked to leave the building. Heather was in tears.
Elvis Enters the Building (and Saves the Day)
Amazingly, all was not lost. ‘Elvis’ came to the rescue as he knew of an available local village hall. One phone call later and we all helped ‘up sticks’ and moved to the hall. Tears were replaced with laughter. Everyone helped from pinning banners to shopping in Tesco for drinks and ordering 50 or so take-away pizzas! Our casino tables were full of very happy guests and although the ‘surprise’ element had been abandoned when disaster struck, the birthday boy had the best night ever – and so did everyone else.
Casino Party for Weddings
We have seen, over the last few years how fun casinos are gaining in popularity. In particular, a fun casino at your wedding party is guaranteed to be popular. From eight to eighty, guests have enjoyed the thrill of a flutter with no risk. In recent times, with people able to hold their ceremony wherever they like, we have attended all sorts of venues big and small.
A Venue fit for a Wedding
Taylor and Josh’s wedding took place at the wonderful St Audries Park https://www.audries-park.co.uk/. We are proud to be a preferred supplier here. Even though the venue is familiar to us, the wedding parties are always catered to the specific wishes of the bride and groom. In this case, our couple had definite ideas on how they wanted the day to be. They wanted to balance the formality of the grand country house with the lovely laid back and casual atmosphere created by family and friends enjoying a wonderful day.
Fun Casino Highlights
For Taylor and Josh we took our two most popular games, roulette and blackjack. As requested we opened the gaming right after the wedding breakfast speeches. Each guest had found their fun money in the favours envelope (Taylor asked us to send them the customised notes earlier). We were busy from the word ‘go’ with young and old competing for a high roller’s prize. Our worthy adult winner was presented with bottle of champagne. Our youngest players were awarded medals. All in all, this proved popular with young and old. Pics by kind permission of Ash at https://www.firstlightphotographyweddings.co.uk/
Casino Party in a Field
Yes. No need to read that again! Our latest fun casino event took place in a field! Al fresco dealing was super fun and thankfully, although there were one or two showers, we were covered. The blackjack table was snug in front of a casino self standing banner. Cards and strong breezes don’t really go well together! Our roulette table I must admit, was not perfectly level. This gave the casino dealer the odd vertigo sensation. However it certainly didn’t give players any better idea of what number the ball was going to drop in.
Three in one Go!
If ever there was a good example of how versatile fun casinos are, this surely was a good one. Emma, who had made the booking told us the party was a combined celebration of her two adult son’s birthdays and her wedding anniversary. Their farm and gorgeous meadow provided the perfect backdrop for the event. Two and three sided tents gave cover to the disco, casino, buffet and seating area. Once the casino tables opened, betting was fast and furious with several more experienced players urging on the rest.
Casino parties – Never the Same – Always Good Fun
If people ask me why I run fun casinos I think the above heading says it all. Along with the other people that make up the Aces Fun Casinos team, I really appreciate the variety of venues, locations and lovely people that I meet. ‘Variety is the spice of life’ as the saying goes. Long live the difference!
