TESTIMONIALS
“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.”

“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 mingling 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!”

“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 memorable. 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!”
— CHRISTINE W., BRIDE, WADSWORTH MANSION IN MIDDLETOWN, CT
“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 them throughout the night! The games themselves were beautiful and even after cocktail hour they were the 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 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.”

Thank you again for making our day so special!!”

“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. 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.”

“Fun and games at its best!!! 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 from 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!”

“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 games 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 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 did a great job keeping the party going, and we would definitely recommend them!”

— TARA GOOZEE, WARWICK, NY
“WOW! If you have a wedding or special celebration coming up, I HIGHLY recommend working with Upstate Jamboree. These beautifully crafted games were the perfect addition to my sister’s wedding last weekend. I honestly can’t imagine what the reception would have been like without them!! The classics like corn hole and giant tipsy timbers (jenga) were a huge hit, but the unique ones (like gruyere) took the cake! They’re all simple to learn- thanks to the instructions- and can be played over and over by people of all ages and skillset. I only regret not taking more pictures of people playing! Thanks sooo much Bea and Tyler!!”
— NINETTE WARNER, SISTER OF THE BRIDE, WARWICK, NY
“There’s nothing more satisfying during the wedding planning process than checking that box or striking through a whole line on your to-do list, and honestly that satisfaction is exactly what Upstate Jamboree offers! Not only do they provide an awesome experience for your guests, but they’ll show up on time, set up their lawn game rentals without an issue & pack it all out like pros. It’s just one less thing you’ll have to think about.
As far as the lawn games go, we couldn’t have been happier. It was a great ice breaker, a way for people to mingle & get the party started during cocktail hour, and it ended up being a an awesome alternative to the dance floor for some people. We had friends playing late into the night! Hire these guys & bask in the glory of crossing off one more thing on that to-do list. You won’t regret it!”
— NINA MAYER, BRIDE, AUDREY'S FARMHOUSE IN GARDINER, NY

— ANDI DIPALMA, MOTHER OF THE GROOM, AUDREY'S FARMHOUSE IN GARDINER, NY
“So happy we found these games! 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!”
— ETTA CALLOWAY, BRIDE, HUDSON VALLEY, NY

“The game rentals that Upstate Jamboree provide add such a fun vibe to a wedding! I recently had the pleasure of attending a wedding where they hosted games and they were packed all night! SO much fun and such an awesome alternative for those who don’t necessarily love spending the whole night grooving on the dance floor. Not to mention the fact that Bea and Tyler are so welcoming, fun, and professional. I can’t recommend them enough!”
— ALISON LIEBER, WEDDING GUEST, CATSKILLS, NY
“Great local company for handmade wedding games! 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!”
— SYDNEY & ANDREW, BRIDE & GROOM, SAUGERTIES STEAMBOAT CO
“Upstate Jamboree was amazing. I did not have to stress at all about any aspect of their involvement in my wedding.

“Bea and Tyler were phenomenal! We met them last weekend at our friends wedding in Beacon and we had a blast. They were so helpful with the new games, cheering the crowds on and helping with pointers. They are so down to earth. Such a unique way to have your guest socialize. My fiancé and I cannot wait to book them for our anniversary celebration next year! Tyler hand made most of the games and you can tell with the craftsmanship that he is truly talented and loves what he does. It was fun getting to know them too. Plus they wore the cutest little outfits! If you are looking for a way to spice up your cocktail hour and get a little friendly competition simply book these guys now, you won’t regret it!”

— PAULA SMITH, EVENT PLANNER, HUDSON VALLEY & BEYOND
“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 babes!!!). 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!!”
