The Centrepiece Game, Gaynes Park.
After the speeches, one game turns a seated dinner into a room on its feet. Seen more than 44k times on Instagram, and still the moment guests talk about on the way home.
Fun and excitement before a single floor-filler has even played.

Wedding tips.
Little things I have learned across more than 1,000 weddings. Tap any tip to read it.
Confetti, done beautifully
A loose basket of petals is the dream. Guests simply take a handful and throw, with nothing to open and no fumbling as you walk past.
If you do choose packets, ask your MC to collect the empties before you make your exit. It is a small detail, but it keeps litter out of your photographs, so every frame shows just the two of you, your guests and the confetti falling around you.
Make it a grand entrance
Your entrance into the wedding breakfast sets the tone for the rest of the day. Choose a track that makes you smile, and let your MC gather every guest in place before the doors open.
Done well, the whole room is on its feet as you walk in, cheering and waving their napkins, and the celebration is under way before you have even sat down.
The DJ Battle
A playful way to fill the dancefloor. Before the wedding, you each choose your three favourite floor-fillers, in secret.
On the night I play them head to head, one of yours, then one of theirs, while your guests vote with a card held high. The prize? The winner controls the music in the car for the rest of your married life.

When nerves meet the microphone
At one recent wedding, a guest who had politely declined to give a speech stood up during the wedding breakfast and said a few heartfelt words to the bride and groom. Afterwards she told me the room had felt so warm and relaxed that she knew she would be supported, not judged.
For me, that is what great hosting is about: reading the room, looking after every speaker, and creating an atmosphere where people enjoy the moment rather than endure it.
Booking your wedding DJ: what really matters
Experience. Ask how many weddings they have hosted, and ask to see films of them in action.
Presentation. Your DJ should be dressed for your day, and comfortable in a room of your guests.
Value, not price. The real difference is in reading the room and keeping the day flowing.
Reviews that describe feelings. Look for couples who talk about how their guests felt, not just “great music”.
Book early. The most sought-after dates go quickly, often a year or more ahead.
