5★ - Highly Recommend!
We had R-Cade Hire provide the games for our wedding, and they were absolutely brilliant. They travelled all the way from Preston (near Blackpool) down to our venue in Stroud, arrived right on time, and had everything set up quickly and efficiently.
The team were friendly, professional, and made everything really easy for us. We had an air hockey table, foosball table, basketball game, PS1 emulator and a full arcade cabinet - all of which were in great condition and went down an absolute treat with our guests! Everyone loved getting involved, from the kids to the grandparents.
It added such a fun and unique touch to our day, and we’ve had so many comments about how great the games were. We’d highly recommend R-Cade Hire to anyone looking to add something special to their event.
Thank you again from Kaisha and Owen — you really helped make our wedding unforgettable!

Fantastic Games!
R-Cade Hire was a spectacular find by the bride. Preston based company meant that the transport to our venue was very easy for Gary and his team.
We hired the 4 game package that included an Arcade machine with hundreds of hgames on it and an air hockey table that got so much action on the evening of our event that everyone was having fun.
Correspondence through email to Gary was efficient and clear. If you want your guests to have a good time these games are worth it either for the kids or the adults wanting a good game.

Made our wedding day!
If you’re thinking about hiring these for your wedding, do it! I was worried we wouldn’t have enough kids to use them, but my word, did everyone have a go! Went down an absolute treat, especially for those guests that can find weddings overwhelming, having a gaming station to play against people was fantastic.
We got so many compliments, just want to give a massive thank you to Gary and his team. We didn’t have to worry about a thing, super professional and a perfect fun addition to a wedding Thank you!!
