Yard Games at Weddings: Fun Ways to Entertain Guests at High Beam Dreams

Yard games at weddings bring your guests closer. For wedding planning, couples often focus on the ceremony, the food, and the music — all essential parts of a memorable day. But what about the in-between moments? The golden hour between the ceremony and dinner, or waiting for the next big event? These are the perfect opportunities to keep guests engaged, smiling, and mingling — and that’s where wedding games come in.

At High Beam Dreams, we’ve seen firsthand how a few well-placed yard games can transform a beautiful afternoon into an unforgettable experience. With our spacious, green yard surrounded by the charm of the Sunshine Coast, you have the ideal setting for laughter, friendly competition, and spontaneous fun.

At High Beam Dreams, we like to call yard games as ice breakers and not just entertainment. Not everyone at your wedding will know each other, and games are a fun, relaxed way to bring people together. They’re great for kids and adults alike, and they give your guests something to do while you’re off taking photos or preparing for the next part of your celebration.

Our yard is one of the venue’s most loved features. It’s open, lush, and surrounded by natural beauty, offering a relaxed and welcoming space where guests feel at home. Whether you're planning a laid-back afternoon or a more structured reception, our outdoor space is the perfect canvas for playful moments and shared memories.

We at High Beam Dreams are currently growing our collection of yard games to offer couples even more ways to customize their day. Right now, we’re stocked with two classics that always draw a crowd:

• Croquet – Elegant, nostalgic, and perfect for guests who want a slightly slower-paced game with a touch of class.

• Corn Hole – A favourite for all ages, Corn Hole is casual, competitive, and always gets people laughing.

And this is just the beginning. We’re actively building our inventory, so if you have special requests or a vision for your outdoor reception, let’s talk — we’d love to help bring it to life.

If you’re looking to add your own personal touch, here are a few other yard games that fit beautifully into a High Beam Dreams wedding:

• Giant Jenga – Simple, high-stakes fun that draws a crowd and builds suspense with every move.

• Ring Toss – A vintage charm game that’s easy to DIY and a hit with kids.

• Giant Dice – Supersized fun that adds a playful, unpredictable twist to classic dice games or custom wedding challenges

• Tic Tac Toe – A larger-than-life version of the classic game that’s quick, competitive, and fun for all ages

A game of Corn Hole is always fun!

The best weddings are the ones where guests feel relaxed, included, and entertained and outdoor games help make that happen. With our lush green yard and growing collection of fun, High Beam Dreams is the perfect place to turn your big day into a celebration full of joy, laughter, and shared moments.

Whether you're planning a daytime garden party or an evening reception under the stars, adding yard games to your wedding lineup will create memories your guests will talk about long after the last dance.
