A real joy...
"Hired 2 consoles (N64 & PlayStation) for our wedding and it was a real joy to have our guests play and get all nostalgic over the games. Would highly recommend!"

Absolutely brilliant...
Absolutely brilliant, supplied everything we needed for entertaining the big kids ;-) and small ones at our wedding reception. Worth every penny, staff so pleasant and even joined in to play 2 player when the big kids got tired so the small ones could keep going! Really appreciated the service! 100% top company.

What can I say other then perfect...
"What can I say other then perfect! From the seamless set up to the attention to detail and care. Even giving extra care and help with my younger wedding guests. Could not fault and would love to plan another event with Joypad again!"

We could not be happier...
"Having JoyPad provided an excellent break for guests needing a rest from the dance floor. It's also a great way to get the younger or more introverted guests to mingle with each other as opposed to looking bored in the corner. George was very accommodating and easy to communicate with in the run up to the event, and throughout the evening he worked well with guests to make sure that they were well entertained. We could not be happier! Thank you very much!"

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!

If you're thinking about doing it, just do it...
"We booked two Joypods for our wedding in August and we could not have been more pleased with them! If you're thinking about doing it, just do it. During booking George (the owner) gave great suggestions for what to book and kept us informed about what was happening throughout." "They were almost constantly used throughout the evening reception and I know of at least two children and possibly one adult who cried when he had to pack it away." "10/10 would definitely book again."

fantastic from start to finish...
"George has been fantastic from start to finish, and really understanding and accommodating through a 2 year delay and 3 postponements! He was an absolute pleasure to deal with." "The JoyPods went down a treat with everyone, and kept both the adults and kids entertained. They also resulted in some brilliant photographs; you could see the pure joy on the kids faces and the competitiveness on the adults!" "I'd not hesitate in recommending Joypad to anyone"

Absolutely elevated the day...
On the day George was brilliant and really friendly. When he arrived we had to set up somewhere slightly different to planned due to space constraints, but he was so adaptable and set up wherever worked best, meaning there was no stress for us at all. The consoles looked and played brilliantly, and it was a real treat to have George even join in playing with us and our guests! The games went down so well at our wedding and we got so many complements about having them there.

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"
