Communication was impeccable...
"Could not recommend these guys enough. We hired them for our wedding and they were the clear highlight for our guests throughout a wonderful evening. Communication throughout the booking process , they were always flexible and willing to work around our timings and logistics. George’s service and presence on the day itself was amazing, he was constantly on hand to explain how the games worked to our inquisitive guests, and to resolve any issues that may have arisen."

May have to get married again just for another hit
Joypad were absolutely amazing to have at our wedding and a clear highlight. All our guests were bowled over by getting to battle it out on some classics. George Swain was a fantastic host to the consoles and made sure all our guests had a whale of a time. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Joypad to anyone, and may have to get married again just for another hit.

We're so glad that we booked them...
"We hired Joypad for our wedding in October last year, which proved to be a great hit with our guests. George was an absolute pleasure to deal with throughout; he was very responsive to any messages and queries, and always provided helpful information to help us choose the set-up and games that worked for us, and the space we had to work with at the venue" "I'd definitely recommend Joypad to anyone who is a gaming enthusiast for whatever the occasion, we're so glad that we booked them"

Really glad I booked Joypad! 5* experience
"Joypad were an absolute hit at my wedding - they entertained guests for hours and the staff were amazing! The whole experience started with fabulous communication via email. Their staff have obviously had a wide range of customers with varying levels of knowledge on consoles, screens etc so they provided me with plenty of information" The member of staff that attended was lovely to chat to, made my geeky guests feel at home and kept them all company. Really glad I booked Joypad! 5* experience

All ages loved playing...
Amazing! Would highly recommend using Joypad. George was an absolute pleasure to communicate with. Any questions I had, George answered straight away and it just made the whole experience easy. The games consoles and games we had at our wedding went down really well. All ages loved playing them. Will definitely use again!

People couldn’t stop commenting on it...
"Amazing! Such a fun addition to our wedding, people couldn’t stop commenting on it. It really helps guests who might not know many other people too. Brilliant communication from the company and great value. Our guests played all night, so much so, my husband didn’t get a chance, so I guess we will hire again for his next birthday party"
