Giant Lawn Games

Outdoor weddings are perfect for incorporating giant lawn games. These not only entertain your guests but also encourage mingling and fun interactions.

  • Checkers: Bring back childhood memories with this large-scale game.
  • Croquet: A sophisticated yet fun lawn game.
  • Bocce: A simple game that’s easy to pick up and play.
  • Skittles: Great for all ages and adds a carnival vibe.

Live Music

Music is essential for setting the tone of your wedding. At Bearded Dragon Hotel, we offer a variety of live music options:

  • Wedding Singers and Acoustic Bands: Live music adds a dynamic atmosphere and can cater to different moments throughout the day. Whether it’s soft background music during dinner or lively tunes for dancing, live musicians bring a personal touch to your celebration.
  • Violinists: Perfect for adding a touch of elegance during the ceremony or cocktail hour.

Donkey Photo Opportunity

A Bearded Dragon Hotel specialty, our donkeys love any reason for attention! Clancy and Matilda make for unique and memorable photos. While not every wedding venue offers this, check with your venue about the possibility of an outsourced petting zoo or pony rides.

Beer Tasting or Local Wine Upgrades

Enhance your wedding with a taste of local flavours. Bearded Dragon Hotel offers beer tasting paddles, which can be served to your guests, adding a fun and interactive element to the reception. Alternatively, upgrade to a local wine offering and delight your guests with Tamborine-made favourites.
