We had a backyard wedding in MA this fall, and Upstate Jamboree truly brought the fun. As a couple who loves yard games and puzzles, their setup was the perfect addition to our coc...
ktail hour! The wooden aesthetic blended beautifully with our design, and the variety of games offered something for everyone. We loved seeing our guests engage with each other and even adding their own creative twists to the games. Plus, having a staff member onsite the entire time provided just the right balance of support and subtlety- they were present when needed, but never intrusive.
My husband and I really wanted our guests to have a fun time at our wedding, and have things to do the whole night. This brought us to Upstate Jamboree, and I am SO glad we booked ...
one of their packages for our wedding in May! From the very beginning, I was so appreciative that Bea and the team posted the cost of their packages on their website! This really helped my husband and I budget appropriately for our wedding and allowed us to reach out once we were sure we wanted to book. Bea was so friendly and responsive over email, walking us through the whole process of selecting games and helping us think through what to do for a rain plan (May 2024 ended up being very rainy, but we lucked out and were able to keep the games outdoors; however, had we needed to move inside, I was confident in the plan Bea had suggested for swapping out some games due to more limited space and replacing them with other attractions). On the day of, Tyler and Georgy arrived on time and had the games set up beautifully. The whole process was so smooth I didn’t even know they’d arrived and set up until I walked out of my room to head to our first look location! Our guests and wedding party had a fantastic time playing the games (which are BEAUTIFUL by the way), and my husband and I were even able to sneak in some time to play cornhole. The photos from those moments are some of my favorites from the whole wedding :). If you’re looking for a unique activity for guests on your wedding day, I wouldn’t hesitate to book Upstate Jamboree!

f to set-up and manage the games did a perfect job. Our guests love this addition at our wedding. Highly recommend if you are in need of renting lawn games for your next event!
Beautiful, large, high quality games that perfectly fit with the rest of our wedding. It was very important to us that our guests feel comfortable and free to enjoy themselves, and...
Upstate Jamboree did a lot to make that happen!
Guests of all ages - really, all of them - enjoyed these games at our wedding. We saw these games engage older relatives accustomed to more staid celebrations, members of the wedding party, and younger cousins who may not have been comfortable dancing.
When our guests arrived and saw these games set up at our wedding venue, they were put in the perfect frame of mind to enjoy themselves.
I am so glad we decided to rent games from Upstate Jamboree for our wedding reception. It was a huge hit with our guests, old and young alike, and made our reception fun and memora...
ble. They also worked seamlessly with our wedding coordinator to come up with a contingency plan for rain, which we really appreciated since it did end up raining on our wedding day. You would have never known that everything wasn’t exactly as it had always been planned, and my husband and I didn’t have to worry about a thing!
Truly a highlight of our wedding. Everything was so perfect. The guests loved the games and really socialized a ton over the activities. We had so many different groups all just mi...
ngling and playing games. Upstate Jamboree was so amazing to work with and handled EVERYTHING. Made it so easy to work with them. 10/10 recommend!
Our wedding was a whole weekend of events, with many guests staying on site. We wanted to give the guests something to do during the day and Upstate Jamboree was perfect. We heard ...
nothing but amazing things from our guests about the games and the attendant who helped explain some of the games. Part of the fun was the unique new games nobody had heard of!! All of our guests mingled and had an incredible time. It was the perfect special addition to our wedding day and did not disappoint.
We hired Upstate Jamboree after seeing photos of their games at previous events and weddings at our venue. Our guests LOVED having the games, and it was a constant comment from the...
m throughout the night! The games themselves were beautiful and it was a perfect option for those who wanted to socialize but didn't want to hit the dance floor. Their team was incredibly easy to work with and I would 100% recommend them to other couples considering adding this fun and unexpected element to your big day!
We are so happy we hired Upstate Jamboree! Their games are both fun and beautiful, and provide a nice extra activity for some of the younger guests especially! They did a great job...
planning where they would set up ahead of time, which was super helpful! Our venue was definitely a bit tricky, because there wasn't a ton of lawn space, and we had to clear a path for the horse drawn carriage, but they still figured out how to display everything perfectly! They also were super efficient and unobtrusive setting up on the day of. We were busy taking photos after the ceremony, but we were thrilled to see our guests enjoying the games, even in the cooler weather. They definitely did a great job keeping the party going, and we would definitely recommend them!
We used Upstate Jamboree for our rehearsal dinner to add a little special touch for our family and it was a big hit! We had a group of 40 people spanning all age groups and the gam...
es were enjoyed by everyone! The games were beautiful when set up, came with clear instructions, and were so unique!
Bea was also so communicative with me leading up to the day. She was flexible, understanding, and so reassuring when plans changed a bit due to weather conditions and made sure that our guests could enjoy the games no matter what the conditions outside! Would highly recommend if you want your event to be memorable and give your guests a truly great gaming experience.
We had a rainy wedding day. The rain came down so hard that all of our outside plans had to be moved into the venue. Luckily we had plenty of space but we still wanted to make sure...
that all of our guests were going to have a blast. Upstate Jamboree was so flexible in moving their games package to the indoor space. They arranged the games very nicely and helped to fill the space perfectly. While none of us had played their games before, everyone caught on quickly, played intensely, and laughed for ages.
We wanted to make sure that our wedding was as unique as our friends and family are. Playing these 'artisanal' games, helped to make our day truly special and one that we and our guests would never forget.
Upstate Jamboree was amazing. I did not have to stress at all about any aspect of their involvement in my wedding. When I arrived at my reception everything was set up perfectly an...
d people were already playing games. My guests had so much fun and I got so many compliments. Thanks upstate jamboree!!!
I've been to three weddings and gatherings that Upstate Jamboree had games at. The games provided amazing support for laughter and connection. People of all age ranges and backgrou...
nds came together to play Upstate Jamboree's games. It was a great way to meet new people or those I was otherwise shy to approach. Bea and Tyler are so friendly and helpful in teaching about the games. I HIGHLY recommend Upstate Jamboree for weddings!
Not only was this team professional, punctual, flexible but also utterly delightful to work with. From our first conversation to the final pickup, I couldn't have asked for more fr...
om a vendor. My clients and their guests had a fabulous time entertaining themselves during the cocktail reception and the games themselves are so well designed and in such good condition that it added to the aesthetic in a charming way. Can't wait to have more fun and games with Upstate Jamboree!
Working with Upstate Jamboree was a breeze and a blast! I could tell that they really care about their craft. The games look amazing, play super fun, and are so easy to understand....
Even though no one at our wedding had played most of these games, everyone was getting into the challenge right off the bat. This offered a great opportunity for our guests to take a break from the dance floor, and get to know each other. Having another option for our guests really made the wedding a more rounded, thoughtful, and fun experience. We got tons of positive feedback from our guests.
Their traditional yard games like corn hole, and giant Jenga are super fun but their more unique games really helped to set our wedding experience apart. I couldn't recommend Bea, Tyler and the team at Upstate Jamboree enough. Such a blast!
This turned out to be one of our guests' favorite features at the event! They had a good range of activities--fan favorite classics like cornhole and chess, to some different ones ...
you might not have seen. But the best part is that the folks bringing the games also stick around to show people how to play, so everybody can get the most out of it. Staff (also owners/creators) were very friendly, approachable, and got everybody from the young kids to grandparents on board with activities.
The aesthetic of the games themselves is also really nice. They're all made of hand-carved wood, it's all very classy and cool looking.
We had some guests who didn't know many people get a lot of opportunities to socialize by playing the games, and family that hadn't seen each other in a long time got to bond over some, too.
Highly recommended all around!
They were fantastic! So easy to work with, super fun, and incredible product -- truly no one like them!
A perfect party ice breaker! Beautifully crafted games with a professional and friendly staff. Loved by people of all ages, from 2 (toddler corn hole game) to 90!!! So HAPPY we dec...
ided to have Upstate Jamboree at our celebration.
WOW Upstate Jamboree's game rentals were the highlight of our wedding! They are very professionally crafted and seriously creative designs. I've never seen games like these in my ...
life! We rented their second package that comes with all of their different lawn and table games plus their tent, and I'm really glad we did because our guests could not stop playing! We had 120 guests at our wedding and there was enough for everyone to enjoy. Plus they brought us their kiddie cornhole and that was such a welcome distraction for the mommas. People played even after dark to take a break from dancing which was perfect. The best part is that the games really helped our guests mingle and become quick friends! This was especially wonderful for the people that didn't know anyone else. We cannot recommend them highly enough. Get their games!! You will not regret it!
Upstate Jamboree came to our wedding in the Catskills and it couldn’t have gone better! Our guests enjoyed their giant Jenga and multiple cornhole sets (including a mini for the ba...
bes!!!). It honestly made the wedding! People were playing games all night long and everyone was so blown away by how beautifully crafted they were. Parents of the little kids attending LOVED having a fun distraction with the mini cornhole, plus all the adults got to be kids again. It also gave a chance for our guests to mingle with people they didn’t know and it just brought so much fun energy to the whole event. We couldn’t be happier with having these game rentals at the wedding! Thank you Bea and Tyler!!
