Planning
Hosting
on the day.
Hosts introduce the activities and keep things moving, leaving you time with your guests.
Table Wave organises casino-inspired and other themed events. A host explains each activity, helps newcomers join in and gives guests time to move between tables. Choose a complete evening or add entertainment to a wider celebration.
A birthday calls for a different pace from an awards night or a client reception. Tell us why you’re bringing people together, and we’ll build the event around that occasion rather than start with a list of props.
Find your kind
of gathering.
Start with what your guests would enjoy: a shared activity, a celebration with a theme, or time to meet new people.
01
Casino Nights
Hosted tables and short rotations give guests an activity to enjoy between conversations.
02Corporate Events
Galas, awards, launches and Christmas celebrations, with branding and a running order built around your message.
03Private Celebrations
Birthdays and anniversaries shaped around your taste, your venue and the people you’re inviting.
04Team & Mystery Activities
Quizzes, puzzles and mystery stories give colleagues something to work on together.
Event styling
Make it feel
like your event.
A Gatsby evening might focus on geometric backdrops and gold accents. A Hollywood party could start with a red carpet and a photo wall. You can choose a few features without decorating every corner.
Put the focus where guests will spend their time: a hosted table, a puzzle station or a place for photographs. Lighting and table details can then tie the room together.
For company events, a welcome sign helps guests find their way, while a backdrop gives presentations and photographs a consistent setting. Your colours can carry through selected event details.
For a private celebration, start with a favourite decade, a colour palette or a story. Tell us what matters to the host so those details stand out.

How we plan
your event.
You can get in touch with a rough idea. A likely date, guest count and description of the occasion are enough to begin.
Share the event you have in mind
Send your date, location, guest count and budget through the enquiry form. If you’re choosing between themes, tell us what appeals to you about each one.
Choose the format and budget
We’ll help choose the activities and styling that fit your budget. The pricing page shows the starting options and what changes the cost.
Plan the running order
The running order puts arrival, activities, meals and speeches in sequence. It gives hosts and suppliers the timings they need before the event starts.
Hosting and pack-down
The team sets up the entertainment, welcomes guests into the activities and adjusts the pace as the evening unfolds. Pack-down follows the final goodbye.
Fit the entertainment
around your guests.
A short activity can be the centrepiece of a longer gathering. You might want two hours around the tables, or a welcome activity before a meal and speeches.
Share photos of the space if you have them. They help us suggest where activities could go and how guests will move around them. Outdoor events also need a weather alternative.
A comfortable way to join in
Some people join in straight away; others watch first. Small groups and a short introduction give everyone time to settle in. Tell us about any seating, hearing or mobility arrangements that would help.
Choosing your space
You might use a workplace, a hired function room or a private property. Start with the location you have in mind; we’ll help you decide which event format makes the best use of it.
Ways it could come together
Three possible evenings.
These are ideas for future events, not accounts of past bookings. Use them to picture how your own evening could work.
A social end to the work week.
A welcome followed by hosted table rotations, with a break to catch up. This gives colleagues something to do together after work without a long formal presentation.
A birthday with a story.
Clues released through the evening lead to a shared reveal. Friends have a reason to talk to people they haven’t met before, with time for a birthday moment.
An awards evening, with room to celebrate.
A branded welcome and a short awards presentation lead into photographs and social activities. Guests can see the speaker, then move around the room to celebrate.
Indicative prices
Plan the budget
before the details.
Compare prices by event type. Hosting a table, styling a celebration and running an awards night involve different people and equipment. Choose a starting budget, then tell us which parts of the event matter most.

Before you enquire
Common questions
Can you help us choose a theme?
Yes. Tell us about the occasion and your guests. We can help you compare an activity-led event with a gathering built around styling, then narrow the choice using your venue and budget.
Do we need to have a venue booked?
No. Send the town or city and the type of space you’re considering. If you already have a shortlist, photos or floor plans can help you compare how each room would work.
Can the event include speeches or a meal?
Yes. Share the meal times and who needs to speak. Activities can pause for announcements, then resume when guests are ready, so nobody has to choose between the two.
How far in advance should we enquire?
Get in touch when you have a likely date and guest count. Seasonal dates and custom decorations benefit from more lead time. We’ll check availability for the entertainment you have in mind.
What if our guests have different levels of confidence?
Short introductions and small groups can make joining in easier. Guests can watch before taking part. Tell us whether your group enjoys lively competition or would prefer something more relaxed.
What does the indicative price include?
Each option on Pricing lists its guest count, activity time and starting package. Use those details to compare formats and see which additions would affect your budget.
What information should I send first?
Send your date, event type, location and guest count, plus a budget if you have one. Mention any must-have moments. You can leave the date or venue open while you decide.
