It started with our own “I do”…

Playing for Keeps started, quite literally, with our own wedding.

We got married at the beautiful Wasing Park in Berkshire in July 2026, and like most couples, we wanted our day to feel like us — relaxed, full of personality and, most importantly, really good fun.

Garden games became one of those little details we absolutely loved. They gave our guests something to do between the big moments, got people laughing and chatting, and brought together friends and family who might never otherwise have met. There’s something about a ridiculously competitive game of Giant Jenga that makes introductions much easier!

After the wedding, we realised we didn’t want the fun to end there — and Playing for Keeps was born.

We’re a small, family-run business based on the Surrey/Hampshire border, providing beautiful garden games for weddings and celebrations across Surrey, Hampshire, Berkshire and beyond.

We know first-hand just how much thought goes into a wedding. That’s why we want this part to be easy: lovely games, beautifully presented, delivered and collected without any fuss.

Because the best weddings aren’t just the ones that look beautiful. They’re the ones where everyone has an absolute blast.
