Retro Games for Your Celebration

An arcade machine creates a place for guests to gather, take turns and compare scores. It works well for people who enjoy a quick game between conversations as well as those who remember playing the classics.

Our retro game selection includes different styles, from puzzles and platform games to sports, racing and arcade action. Available titles depend on the machine supplied.

If there is a particular game you would like, mention it when enquiring so we can check availability before you book.

Wedding Arcade Machines

Arcade Entertainment for Weddings, Parties and Events

Wedding Arcade Machine Hire

Arcade machines give wedding guests something to enjoy during a drinks reception, room turnaround or evening celebration.

They can form part of an entertainment area alongside a photo booth, while your DJ and dance floor provide the music and dancing elsewhere in the room.

Tell us when you would like the machines available and whether your venue changes rooms during the day. We can then discuss a suitable installation position and hire period.

Birthday Parties and Family Celebrations

Retro games suit milestone birthdays, themed parties and family gatherings. Guests can revisit games they remember and enjoy a little friendly competition throughout the celebration.

Combine a machine with our birthday DJ and disco service to offer an activity alongside the evening’s music.

For a surprise party, let us know the arrival and reveal arrangements so we can plan setup around them.

Corporate Events and Staff Parties

Retro arcade Machines in Birmingham

Arcade machines provide informal entertainment for staff celebrations, Christmas parties and company social events.

Guests can drop in for a game during the event, making them a useful addition to a relaxed networking or social area. If you are planning a larger gathering, tell us your guest numbers and timetable so we can discuss a suitable combination of entertainment.

Space and Power Requirements

Arcade machines need a suitable level position, access to power and enough clear space for players to use the controls comfortably.

The surrounding layout also matters. We will help you plan a position that keeps entrances, walkways and access routes clear.

Dimensions and access requirements depend on the machine supplied. If you’re unsure whether it will fit, send us a photograph or measurements of the proposed area.

Please discuss outdoor or marquee events before booking. We will need to assess the surface, weather protection and power arrangements before confirming suitability.
