Pick a format that earns its place in the reception
Use one format for a short game, or combine a few into a compact quiz.
How well do you know the couple?
Use the first meeting, shared habits and a favourite trip. Give plausible answer options so guests can reason as well as remember.
Which of these places was their first date?
Who said it?
Ask both partners the same questions privately, then let guests identify who gave each answer.
Who described their ideal Sunday as “breakfast twice”?
The photo timeline
Choose photos from different chapters. Ask which moment came first or let guests place events in order, then reveal the story.
Useful when you want visual clues
Music from their lives
Use songs connected to a year, a trip or a shared memory. Let guests identify the music before hearing the personal connection.
Test sound in the venue
A picture round for everyone
Add films, places or familiar images between the couple questions. It gives guests who know less of the backstory another way to score.
What would they choose?
Ask the couple to agree on a few preferences before the game. Guests guess those recorded choices, then hear why the couple picked them.
A free weekend: a city break, a beach or staying home?
Plan a 12-question quiz for a 15–20-minute slot
Start with an easy question, vary the clues and save a personal reveal for the end.

Take the quiz from an idea to the shared screen
Gather stories from both sides
With Events, invite selected friends and relatives to contribute photos and answers privately through unison.
Build the mix in one quiz
Review the material, write personal questions and add ready-made rounds. Choose individual or team play in the quiz settings.
Host from one prepared game
Preview on a computer, test the screen and sound, then share the joining link. Guests submit answers in their phone browsers.
Help every table answer personal questions
If only two guests could know a detail, add a photo or believable options. Keep questions from both partners’ lives and mix friendship groups when choosing teams.
Confirm the answer and a short story for every personal question.
Common questions
How long should a wedding quiz last?
Start with a 10–20 minute slot for a reception, then rehearse your actual questions. Photo and music rounds or longer story reveals need more time.
Should tables play as teams?
Table teams make discussion easy. unison quizzes offer individual and team play; choose the setup before the event and explain how guests will submit answers.
Can the couple play too?
Decide their role before writing. They can supply agreed answers and enjoy the reveals, or contribute to a mixed quiz with general rounds. Avoid giving them a competitive advantage from seeing the answer key.
Can I use just ready-made questions?
Yes. A picture or music quiz can work well on its own. Add personal questions only when you have material you want to share.
Build a 15-minute quiz for your tables
Choose a format, add questions about the couple and preview the game before the reception.
