Casino Hire for Weddings: Adding Glamour to Your Big Day

Weddings are all about celebration — bringing people together, making memories, and putting your personal stamp on one of the most important days of your life. And if you’re looking for something that’s equal parts glamorous, interactive, and unforgettable, casino hire could be the secret ingredient you didn’t know you needed.

From classic games like blackjack and roulette to elegant croupiers and stunning casino décor, a wedding casino adds sparkle, sophistication, and a whole lot of fun to your big day. At Finesse Casinos, we’ve brought casino magic to hundreds of weddings across the UK — and we know exactly how to make yours unforgettable.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through why a casino is the perfect wedding entertainment, how to plan it, and what to expect when you roll the dice on your special day.

 

1. Why Have a Casino at Your Wedding?

Casino entertainment brings a unique energy to a wedding — one that’s stylish, social, and seriously fun. Here’s why more and more couples are choosing it:

• It’s a brilliant icebreaker: Guests from both sides of the aisle can mingle naturally at the tables.
• Perfect for all ages: From the kids to your grand parents, everyone can get involved.
• Glamour & style: Casino tables bring that James Bond elegance, adding flair to your evening reception.
• Fills the “downtime”: After the wedding breakfast and before the dancing kicks off, casino tables keep guests entertained.
• It’s non-gambling fun: With fun money and no real cash on the line, it’s all about enjoyment — no risk, all reward.

Whether you’re having a classic black-tie wedding or something more relaxed and rustic, a casino theme can be tailored to suit your vibe perfectly.

 

2. When to Schedule the Casino Entertainment

Timing is everything when it comes to planning wedding entertainment. The casino typically fits best into the evening portion of your day — when everyone’s relaxed, the drinks are flowing, and guests are ready to let their hair down.

Here are the most popular time slots for casino hire at weddings:

• Post-dinner, pre-dancing (approx. 7–9pm): Ideal for keeping guests busy while the band or DJ sets up.
• Alongside the evening entertainment: Great for giving non-dancers something exciting to enjoy.
• After the first dance: As the party heats up, the casino adds another layer of fun.

Most couples opt for a 2- or 3-hour casino hire, which is the perfect window to give all guests a chance to play.

 

3. What Games Work Best for Weddings?

Not all your guests will be seasoned gamblers — and that’s okay! The best wedding casino games are easy to learn, quick to play, and visually engaging. Here are our top picks:

? Blackjack

• Simple to learn, exciting to play
• Guests feel confident after just one round
• Up to 7 players per table, with fast rotation

? Roulette

• Iconic casino appeal
• Guests can dip in and out easily
• Works beautifully in black-tie or glamorous settings

?? Texas Hold’em Poker

• Great for groups of friends or groomsmen who enjoy strategy
• Perfect as a “side event” later in the evening

? Wheel of Fortune

• Big visual impact and extremely simple rules
• Suitable for all ages — even kids love it!

A typical setup for a 70–100 guest wedding includes two tables: usually one blackjack and one roulette. For larger weddings, or ones with a Vegas-style theme, we can add additional tables or even host a full tournament.

 

4. Casino Theming & Décor

One of the best things about casino hire? It looks incredible. Finesse Casinos offers full theming to help your casino area blend seamlessly into your wedding style — or stand out as a show-stopping feature.

Here’s what we can provide:

• Luxury full-sized casino tables
• Red carpets and ropes for VIP entrance
• Fun money personalised with your names or wedding date
• LED lighting and uplighters for ambience
• Stylishly dressed croupiers in classic uniforms
• Themed props like giant dice, playing cards, and backdrops

Want a full-on Monte Carlo vibe? Or a subtle nod to James Bond elegance? We’ve got you covered.

 

5. Prizes, Fun Money & Tournaments

Since there’s no real money involved, we use fun money — customisable bills that guests use to place their bets. It adds excitement without any financial pressure.

Many couples also offer small prizes for the evening’s biggest chip winner. These don’t need to be expensive — popular prize ideas include:

• A bottle of bubbly
• A gift voucher
• A personalised playing card set
• A silly trophy (we love a “King of the Casino” sash!)

We can even organise a mini tournament or leaderboard if you want a competitive edge!
