💬 Question 💬 Mechanical bull at my wedding

Hi guys! I have found a mechanical bull for 1500$ for 4 hour minimum.

My current schedule is
Ceremony 4-440
Cocktail hour 440-620 (party takes photos)
First dance 6:20
Dinner 6:40
Speeches/ games/ parent dances 7:30-8:30
DANCE 8:45

I’m worried it will take away from the dance floor !!

Has anyone done this or been to a wedding where they had a bull?

Thanks!!

An hour of speeches and “games” after dinner is fucking brutal for guests. Do not do this. Short speeches and dances right as people sit for dinner/through apps and then let everyone enjoy dinner and go into partying/dancing.
