It’s been a busy past month at Gray Events, especially in the run-up to Christmas. The amount of North East events we have attended has been staggering (we could do with a cup of tea just thinking about it), but there’s no rest for the wicked. We have a huge schedule booked for December, with our event entertainment games part of a vast selection of Christmas party ideas. If you’d like any of our event entertainment - such as casino theme hire, which is proving hugely popular this festive season - get in touch as soon as possible. Otherwise, rest with a cuppa and read up on our best North East events over the past month.
Corporate Casino
Starting on the first day of the month, we held a fantastic corporate casino theme hire event at the stunning Ramside Hall. Of course, our roulette wheel hire had an outing and stole the show. As part of a ‘Texas Hoe Down’ (our favourite kind of party and one of the greatest alternative Christmas party ideas), we also hosted a Texas Hold ‘Em Poker session, with our expert croupiers on hand for both games. Ramside Hall is one of the best venues in the North East, and we always love travelling to one of the finest luxury hotels in the region. Not least because it is surrounded by a premier golf course…
Belle Bridal Wedding Fayre - Stadium of Light
We love a good wedding fair as much as the next person, in particular, the North East events. We have a whole host of wedding reception ideas, so we attended the Belle Bridal Wedding Wondershow to showcase our casino theme hire event entertainment - taking our beloved roulette table. We also had a chance to give visitors a sneak peek at our carnival funfair games that take you straight back to your childhood (trust us; they do every time). We had a ball at the event, meeting plenty of new faces. The Belle Bridal is always an exciting staple in our event entertainment calendar, and we can’t wait for the next one. We hope to see you there. You can find out even more about our day, with our Gray Events at Belle Bridal Wedding Fayre blog.
Assembly Rooms Casino
The Assembly Rooms is one of the greatest venues in Newcastle, host to the brilliant Bonbar. We were offered the chance to demonstrate our casino theme hire event entertainment - including our Blackjack table hire and roulette table hire - so we jumped at the chance. The event was a huge success, set in the busy Bonbar. We took along our finest croupiers and three casino tables for the North East event, and we hope to be going back within the new year.
Racing and Roulette Hire
Our trip to the Jersey Farm Hotel for a beautiful wedding saw our event entertainment take a huge leap. Our racing simulator hire had an outing, where guests attempt to top the leaderboard and compete for the fastest lap. We also had our casino theme hire along for the ride, as well as retro arcade game hire. We offer the best of the 80s, and 90s retro games for guests - including the nostalgic Pac Man arcade machine hire. We had an absolute blast at the hotel, and we’re happy to say we have even more weddings lined up in December.
Carnival Funfair Games
Wedding reception ideas don’t get much better than the carnival funfair games. In fact, you could also use our carnival funfair game hire as part of your Christmas party ideas; the carnival is not just for summer. The Walworth Castle Hotel, set in an 18th-century castle, is exceptional for wedding party ideas, with a vast amount of rooms and scenery as a backdrop for your professional photos. We brought all the fun of the fair with our event entertainment; Tin Can Alley and Test Your Strength. Not only that, but we also had our retro arcade machine hire to keep the guests busy throughout the party.
The Fairground
The fun of the fair continued with our next North East event, held at the Riverside Leisure Centre in Morpeth. We worked with the lovely folks at Balloon Bedlam to ensure our event entertainment transformed the venue, taking the guests on a journey throughout their childhood. Our most popular and exciting carnival funfair games made an appearance, and the guests had the opportunity to choose from Tin Can Alley, Blackjack Darts, Basketball Shootout and even Test Your Strength.
Casino Themed Wedding
Our casino theme hire has continued to prove popular with wedding reception ideas. We travelled all the way to As You Like It; a beautiful restaurant and bar, spread over multiple floors. Our casino theme hire tables sat perfectly as the backdrop to the seriously glamorous wedding, with roulette wheel hire and our Blackjack table to keep everyone busy before they started dancing. There was even a live saxophonist to keep everyone on their feet as they played with our event entertainment.
Luxury Casino Hire
Our brand new roulette wheel hire had its first outing at Whitworth Hall Hotel in County Durham. The luxury casino hire package was part of a gorgeous wedding, complete with room lighting hire as well. The casino theme hire is one of the best wedding reception ideas, and the Bride and Groom had plenty of fun competing with each other for the title of ‘top casino player’. Along with the roulette wheel, our Blackjack table also took centre stage (behind the newlyweds, of course).
Las Vegas in the North East
Las Vegas arrived at the Best Western Hotel in Hartlepool for a fun, American-inspired wedding reception. Our Las Vegas Grand Entrance, with the addition of a swanky red carpet, led the way to the party inside. We had a roulette wheel and Blackjack table waiting for the guests, and we certainly had plenty of players throughout the night. Our event entertainment can hold multiple players at a time, so they injected a healthy dose of competition to the wedding reception.
