Overview
Finesse Casinos had the pleasure of providing entertainment for Lauren and Louis’ wedding at the beautiful Firle Place Riding Stables in East Sussex. Both bride and groom had been previously married, and their wedding day was a joyful celebration full of personality, love, and laughter.
It was a warm summer-like evening, perfect for an outdoor celebration. The event had a relaxed and stylish atmosphere, with personal touches throughout and a fantastic energy from start to finish.
The Day
Guests enjoyed starters and main courses cooked outside on barbecues, adding to the informal and friendly vibe. There were personalised sunglasses for the guests, flip-flops for tired dancing feet, and custom blankets available in case the temperature dropped in the evening.
A professional toastmaster named Simon helped keep everything running smoothly. Dinner ran a little late, so the first dance, originally scheduled for 8:15 PM, was pushed back to 8:45 PM. As soon as the first dance finished, the casino tables opened and the fun began.
Casino Tables in Action
We set up three tables — Blackjack, Roulette, and Texas Hold’em Poker — right next to the dancefloor, which worked really well as guests moved easily between dancing and gaming.
Texas Hold’em Poker
The poker table turned into the centre of attention when former Premier League footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink took a seat. While other players came and went, Jimmy stayed at the table for the full game and even went all in on the final hand — and won! It was a great moment that guests will be talking about for a long time.
Roulette
One of the most exciting moments of the night happened at the roulette table. On the final spin, one guest bet \$800 (in fun money) on a single number — and won! In a real casino, that would’ve been a \$28,000 win. The room erupted in cheers, and the atmosphere was electric.
Blackjack
The Blackjack table was busy all evening with friendly competition and lots of laughs. Although there was no prize for the overall winner, everyone enjoyed the experience and got into the spirit of the game.
A Football Family Celebration
The wedding had a strong football connection. The groom’s son, Tino Livramento, is a Premier League footballer who used to play for Chelsea and now plays for Newcastle United, who recently won a cup. Louis, the groom, is a lifelong Crystal Palace fan — and they had just won their first-ever trophy. The whole family had plenty to celebrate, and the mood was full of pride and excitement.
The Party Atmosphere
The DJ kept the dancefloor alive until midnight, and with the warm weather and beautiful venue, the whole evening had a magical feel. The casino tables added an extra layer of fun and gave guests something unique to enjoy alongside the music and dancing.
Even without any real prizes, the casino created moments of excitement, laughter, and competition — exactly what the couple were hoping for.
Final Thoughts
If you’re planning a wedding and want to add something different that your guests will love, a fun casino from Finesse Casinos is a perfect choice. It’s stylish, sociable, and full of entertainment — helping to make your special day even more unforgettable.
