Wedding rental questions, answered.

Give the non-dancers something to do. At most receptions dancing is the only activity offered, so a third or more of your guests end up on their phones. The Wedding Game Factory rents full-height custom arcade cabinets and audio guestbook phones that keep those guests engaged, from the grandparents to the ring bearer. Short arcade rounds keep lines moving, and a leaderboard keeps the competition going all night. See the full lineup or build an estimate.

Yes. The Wedding Game Factory rents full-height, custom arcade cabinets built specifically for weddings. Honeymoon Hustle is a two-player game personalized with the couple's likeness, and Ring Run is a retro maze chase anyone can pick up in under a minute. Both ship flat, set up in about thirty minutes, and need no WiFi, just a standard outlet. We serve New England in person and ship nationwide. Try the estimator for a price.

Two that almost no one else offers: custom arcade games and audio guestbooks. A wedding arcade cabinet gives guests an interactive activity with the couple's names and faces built into the game, and an audio guestbook phone lets guests leave a spoken message you keep forever instead of a line in a book. Both work for all ages and need no WiFi. As far as we know, we are the only company renting arcade games made specifically for weddings.

An audio guestbook is a phone your guests pick up to leave a short spoken message instead of writing in a book. Hear Hear Vintage works with any real analog phone for a warm, nostalgic sound, and Hear Hear Modern is a battery-powered handset with crisp digital recording. There is no app and no QR code: guests just lift the handset and talk. After the wedding you keep every recording.

Custom arcade games are the one part of wedding planning where the groom's taste tends to lead. They are a hands-on, competitive addition to the reception that gives the non-dancers something to do and puts the couple's fingerprint on the night. Read the groom's guide or see the games.

Yes, and the games are built for it. Both Ring Run and Honeymoon Hustle let you choose the couple on screen: two brides, two grooms, a bride and a groom, or any pairing, with a character library spanning a range of hair, skin, and clothing options. Every cabinet is customized for the specific couple. More on our approach is on the inclusivity page.

One full-height cabinet comfortably serves a typical wedding of up to about 150 guests, since rounds are short and lines keep moving. For larger weddings, a second play area, or to avoid any wait at cocktail hour, couples add a second cabinet or pair a game with a Hear Hear audio guestbook so guests always have something to do. Tell us your guest count and venue layout and we will recommend a setup, or build an estimate.

No. Our cabinets are designed to look elegant and wedding-appropriate, not neon or arcade-hall garish, with a clean finish and custom art made for your event. Formal wear plus a beautifully built arcade game is genuinely photo gold; the game becomes a talking point, not an eyesore. See the products, and if a specific venue rule is a concern, just ask us before you book.

Both are full-height, two-player custom cabinets that ship flat, set up in about thirty minutes, and need no WiFi. Pick Honeymoon Hustle if you want yourselves built into the game; pick Ring Run if you want fast, familiar competition anyone learns in under a minute.

Both are battery powered and let guests leave a message with no app and no QR code. Pick Vintage for authentic analog warmth with a real antique phone you supply; pick Modern for an all-in-one handset with crisp digital sound and nothing to source.

All products are designed for quick setup. Honeymoon Hustle is designed to assemble in approximately 30 minutes with simple hand tools. Hear Hear requires no assembly at all — just place it on a table and it's ready to go. With white glove service, our team handles all setup and testing, so you don't need to worry about it.

No! All products work completely offline with no WiFi or internet connection needed. Everything is stored locally on the device and delivered to you after the event.

Honeymoon Hustle requires a standard 110V electrical outlet. Both the Hear Hear Vintage and Hear Hear Modern are completely battery powered — no outlet needed. We recommend having outlets within 10 feet of where Honeymoon Hustle will be placed. If your venue has specific power limitations, let us know during booking and we can discuss solutions. Ask us about battery-powered options if your venue has no outlet nearby.

Honeymoon Hustle requires approximately 3 feet by 3 feet of floor space for the full-height arcade cabinet. Hear Hear just needs a small table or surface. All products are designed to fit in standard wedding venues. If you're concerned about space, contact us and we can discuss your specific venue layout.

Our products work both indoors and outdoors, and we do allow outdoor use. That said, most products can be damaged by rain or wet ground, so we recommend using them indoors or under cover whenever possible. If you're planning an outdoor setup, just make sure the products are protected from moisture. See our Equipment Use Guidelines for the full placement rules.

We offer free tech support and our team will do whatever we can to help troubleshoot and fix the problem remotely. If you've paid for white glove service, our team will take care of everything on-site — we even bring backup hardware so we can replace a unit if needed.

We include a simple instruction card with every rental. That said, most couples prefer to create their own custom signage that matches their wedding decor and theme.

Place a cabinet where guests naturally gather and where non-dancers drift, such as near the cocktail area, the bar, or the edge of the dance floor. It needs a flat, stable spot, a standard outlet within about ten feet, and cover from rain if you are outdoors. A full-height cabinet needs roughly a three-foot by three-foot footprint. Our Equipment Use Guidelines cover placement and power in full.

Each message can be up to 5 minutes long. That's plenty of time for guests to share a heartfelt story, a piece of advice, or a funny memory.

The phone can record a total of 5 hours of messages — more than enough for every guest at your wedding to leave a long, heartfelt message.

When you receive the phone, you'll go through a simple setup process that includes recording your outgoing message directly on the device. If you prefer, you can also send us a pre-recorded message and we'll set it up for you.

Once you send the phone back to us, you will receive your recordings within 5 business days.

The Modern Hear Hear battery lasts approximately 10 hours on a full charge — more than enough for an entire wedding day. It arrives fully charged and ready to go.

We'll work with you to create a fully personalized arcade game experience. You'll provide photos of yourselves, and we'll create custom character sprites, an intro screen featuring your likeness, and personalized game elements. The customization process typically takes 2-3 weeks, so we recommend booking early. All customization is included in the rental or purchase price.

Yes. We sell to wedding vendors (DJs, planners, photographers) who want to offer arcade games as a recurring revenue stream. The vendor program is kept simple and personal for now, so the best step is to reach out. Vendor inquiries →

Shipping is calculated per product and includes both delivery to your venue and return shipping. Base shipping is $400 per product. Medium distances add $50 per item, and long distances add $100 per item. New England locations typically fall into the base or medium distance categories, keeping costs lower. Shipping is calculated separately.

White glove service means our team handles everything: delivery, complete setup and testing, return pickup, and handling. We'll set up the day before or morning of your event and tear down the day after. Available in three tiers: Connecticut ($2,000), Massachusetts / Rhode Island / New Hampshire / Vermont / Maine / Eastern NY mainland ($3,000), and Long Island / Cape Cod / Martha's Vineyard / Nantucket / Block Island ($4,000). This is a flat rate per event, not per device — booking multiple products doesn't multiply the white glove fee.

For standard shipping, products are shipped one week before your event date and arrive 2-3 days before your event, giving you time for setup. With white glove service, our team delivers and sets up the day before or morning of your event. Return shipping is scheduled within 5 days after your event date.

Absolutely! We're New England-focused and regularly serve venues throughout Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine.
