Jeff Stanford Typewriter Poet
Guests are often looking for something surprising and new during the drinks reception. What better to pair with that rumbling stomach than a bespoke poem? I provide on-the-spot typewritten poems during the drinks reception and as late into the evening as you desire. Often I will build up a queue of poetry requests as the buzz builds with the sound of the typewriter. When guests head into dinner, I will continue to work away and hand-deliver the remaining poems to guests at their tables at an opportune moment. The joy and gratitude is something to behold as your guests share their poems with one another – a beautiful memento from your most special day.
Crazy Vegas Fun Casino
A fun casino is the perfect way to fill the gaps between your wedding’s key moments—especially when guests are waiting between the drinks reception, dinner, and the evening celebration. Instead of downtime or awkward pauses, a pop-up casino creates a lively, sociable atmosphere that keeps the energy flowing and everyone entertained. With classic games like blackjack and roulette, guests can mingle, laugh, and compete in a friendly, relaxed environment that appeals to all ages and personalities.
The beauty of a fun casino lies in its flexibility and inclusivity. Professional yet fun croupiers guide players through the games, so even total beginners quickly get the hang of it. There’s no real gambling involved—guests play with personalised fake dollars printed with your names , photo, wedding date and venue adding a playful, memorable touch. Those distinctive “branded” notes also make for great keepsakes and conversation starters.
Between courses or after dinner, the casino tables act as vibrant hubs of activity. They draw people together—friends, family, and even strangers—breaking the ice in a way few other activities can. Music and laughter set the tone for the evening ahead, bridging the gap seamlessly until the dance floor opens.
A fun casino transforms what could be quiet waiting time into a highlight of the day. It brings glamour, interaction, and excitement, ensuring your guests remain fully engaged and your celebration flows effortlessly from one part to the next—all with a sense of fun and flair.

Jack Wise Magician and Comedian
Do you want to see your family and friends crack up with laughter and gasp in disbelief? Then it’s time to introduce you to Jack Wise.
Jack is a multi-award-winning magician and hilarious ventriloquist who specialises in unforgettable wedding entertainment. A regular headliner at The Laughter Lounge, Ireland’s biggest comedy club, Jack gets huge laughs while keeping his comedy clean and family-friendly. This has led to performances at Áras an Uachtaráin throughout the last three Irish presidencies, as well as corporate events all over Europe.
What makes Jack perfect for weddings is his ability to involve guests in a way that feels spontaneous, natural and incredibly funny. One minute he’s “accidentally” smashing a guest’s phone because everyone says they spend too much time on it… the next, the phone magically reappears in perfect condition on the other side of the room.
Another crowd favourite sees Jack transform the best man into a hilarious live puppet using his ventriloquism skills and a moving-mouth mask. The reactions are priceless and create the kind of moments guests talk about for years.
Jack delivers 45 minutes of fast-paced after dinner entertainment guaranteed to bring both families together and leave guests of all ages raving about your wedding.

The entertainment is delivered between courses, ensuring it never interferes with service while keeping the energy and excitement building all evening.
The show includes interactive elements such as grand entrances for the newlyweds, table photo dash, high-energy music quiz, dance-offs, air guitar battles, singalongs, spot prize games and the ever-popular Mr & Mrs Game. Every activity is designed to get guests involved, create unforgettable moments and keep all age groups entertained.

For couples who are also booking a live band, I offer an after-band DJ package to continue the party late into the night. I keep music and energy flowing after dinner and bridge the gap before the band begins, ensuring there are no awkward silences or lulls.

PrintMyPint
PrintMyPint adds a luxury touch to your wedding day with custom designs printed directly onto the foam of Guinness and cocktails.
Before the wedding, couples work with us to create designs that actually feel personal to the day. Wedding monograms, venue sketches, artwork from the invitations, pets, inside jokes, whatever fits your vibe best.
On the night, guests can upload their own selfies at the bar and have them printed directly onto the foam in seconds. It’s interactive, a great talking point, and something guests genuinely remember from the day.
We use the highest-spec pint printers on the market, and our machines are professionally maintained to ensure sharp, consistent prints throughout the night. Prints take just six seconds per pint, one tap to print, and it can be used by venue staff or by guests themselves as an interactive part of the evening.
It works especially well during that in-between part of the day, after the ceremony when guests are mingling, and again later when the room turns for the evening reception and the energy starts building before the band kicks off.
We’ve delivered 200+ weddings across Ireland and work regularly with venues including Luttrellstown Castle Resort, Cashel Palace Hotel, Dromoland Castle and Tankardstown House. We’re also proud to have 60+ five-star reviews across Google.
Available nationwide via PrintMyPint.
