Wedding entertainment ideas in spare room?

Please can I ask for some inspiration on how to best utilise an orangery room at our wedding venue? There will be about 60 people, most over 40, may be kids (welcome to come but parents may opt out).

We were thinking about Photo Booth (overdone?) or a rest room for hose with kids as some will be one year old by then, some three and some five. If they choose to bring kids, I think it would be good to have a quiet space. If not, how do we make it fun?

Thank you.

What's going on in your other spaces at the same time? If it's just one big room with DJ, I'd definitely have a quieter space, not just for kids either!

Yes, there is a bigger room for dinner with dance floor next to it.

I had a quiet space with tea/coffee/biscuits.

Older people would also prefer a quiet space they can chat in

Get some toys - big Lego bricks car track paper and pens, if there’s an outdoor space grab some hola hoops and balls - soft ones or balloons! Some throw away cameras so there’s photos?

Maybe a drinks machine for coffee?

Sometimes ‘normal’ stops the over excitement of children

Another vote for a quiet room, have tea, coffee and water available, maybe some biscuits.

If there are children maybe bean bags / sleeping bags so a little one can have a nap.

I went to a wedding which had those little plastic rocking horse/ see saw type things, and tunnels and bean bags and what not. Also plenty of chairs etc.
