Why Soft Play Is Becoming a Must-Have at Modern Weddings

Weddings have evolved in recent years to become more family-friendly than ever, and one of the biggest trends sweeping the UK is soft play hire for weddings. At Little Monsters Soft Play, we’ve seen a huge increase in couples choosing to include soft play zones at their receptions, and it’s easy to understand why.

Weddings often bring guests of all ages together, and while adults enjoy the speeches, food, photographs, and entertainment, younger children can quickly become restless. Soft play creates a dedicated, safe space where toddlers and small children can play, burn off energy, and stay entertained throughout the day.

Our stunning wedding soft play packages are designed especially for elegant venues, pastel-themed receptions, and beautiful photography. They blend seamlessly into wedding décor, offering stylish colours, premium-quality equipment, and charming setups that look fantastic in photos.

Not only does soft play keep children busy, but it also gives parents a chance to relax and enjoy the celebration. Instead of chasing toddlers around venues, they can sit down, talk to guests, enjoy a drink, or take part in the wedding festivities knowing their little ones are happily entertained nearby.

Many wedding venues now recommend soft play as an addition to their hire packages because it enhances the guest experience. It works particularly well during key moments such as:

• The ceremony

• Group photographs

• Speeches

• The wedding breakfast

• Evening reception

Packages such as Castle & Mini Monster and Big Monsters Wedding Pack are especially popular, offering a mix of soft play, ball pits, tunnels, ride-ons, and sometimes the option of small bouncy castles depending on venue rules.

Soft play also helps create lovely memories. Children love exploring, climbing, jumping, and playing together, and parents often comment on how it kept their little ones entertained for hours.

Whether you’re planning a rustic barn wedding, a modern hotel reception, or a marquee celebration, Little Monsters Soft Play can create the perfect play zone for your special day. Our team handles everything, delivery, setup, cleaning, and collection, so all you have to do is enjoy the party.
