Distance Does Not Matter.

Our Photo Booth is available for hire all over the UK - infact, in the last month alone we have taken bookings as far away as Hartlepool, Vale of Glamorgan (2 events over there!), Sussex and Kent - We are happy to do these events, and all enquiries are very welcome.

However, our most recent outing was very local - in fact it was a Wedding at the Harpenden House Hotel - a whopping 1.2miles from base . . . . .obviously, this meant we got an early night (well 2am!!), but it also had other benefits.
a) We actually nipped to the venue in the afternoon and set up early (the Bride/Groom and the venue were happy for this - in fact it made it less stressful for them as well) - then at 7:40pm we returned, did the final preparations, and were ready to roll at 8pm.
b) When we set up we could see the colour theme of the Wedding - we adjusted the print graphics accordingly (We had sent the bride 3 choices on the Thursday, She had chosen a classical black layout with white writting) - the bride loved the new colour - and that was what we used for the night - see it here :-




So, it was a success all round, and a very enjoyable Wedding as well - great fun had by all!

This got us thinking - there are so many venues with-in 10miles of our base, why not give a discount for bookings from there - so shortly, you will see a new price offering this.

For those looking to hire/rent a Photo Booth from further afield - please do not be put off asking for a price - all our prices are based on travel of 50miles anyway, and above that we charge a minimal amount - for instance, to go the 150 miles over to the Vale of Glamorgan we are only charging £50 extra.

Video Messaging - NOW AVAILABLE -

The Photo Booth Hire market is adapting quickly to technology.

Our Photo Booth now has the ability for guests to leave video messages (this is an Optional addition to the Photo Booth).

When guests enter the Booth, they see the usual Screen, but with some subtle differentials, 'Press here for Colour Photos' and on the other side, 'Press here to leave a 30s Video' :-


If the left button is selected then the Booth operates as normal, counting down to the first photo and taking the series of Photos, which are then printed by the Photo Booth 15 seconds later.
If the right button is pressed, there is a short countdown and then the DSLR records a 30 second video - there is a stop button, so if wanted your guests can just leave a shorter message. After the recording, the video is played back to your guests and they then have the choice to save it or delete it.  Any saved messages are then given to you at the end of the rental on a DVD.

Here is a quick example of a video message left :-



As you can see, the videos are high quality using our Canon DSLR. We have also fitted to the Booth a Rode Studio microphone for sound recording and a quality speaker so you can hear your voice on playback.

This is a great Option to add to your Photo Booth rental

Record Booking Week!!

Was it the 'Royal Wedding Effect'?
Was it our appearance on 'The Only Way is Essex'?
Was it the continued warm/sunny Weather?
Was it hard work on our side?
Was it because our  Photo Booth is so fantastic?

Who knows ............. but this week, we have had a record number of bookings (We've just had 2 bookings in the last hour!!) - and yesterday we had 5 date requests/queries.

What this means in reality is that anyone considering hiring our Photo Booth at their Event should not delay . . .. . . . .  .we are already having to say 'no' for some date requests and we have had several queries for some of the key Summer dates. To get into our diary with a confirmation we just need a £150 deposit, this can be paid by debit/credit card over the phone.

However - surprisingly we do still have 2011 key dates still waiting for a booking (we are actually getting more concerned about 2012 and beyond), so please always ask us for availability.

Photo Booth Hire is obviously becoming ever more popular, which is great news all round - there are also an ever increasing number of Photo Booth Hire companies - this we also see as positive (the more companies marketing, the more the word gets around) - We have full confidence in 'our product' and believe our Booth is one of the (if not THE) most attractive Booths available in the hire/rental market, also we designed and had our Booth built ourselves (see the blogs below) and many of the new entrants are all using the same booth (in fact there is now over 10 companies using just 2 designs of Booth). Because we designed the Booth, we know how every component can be fully utilised, this is why we can offer the Options that many of our competitors can't, this is why we are flexible, and is also why we are getting the bookings.

If you've seen our Photo Booth at an Event or where we have been marketing then you can appreciate the thought that has gone into our business, now make the next move, before it is too late . . . . ..  .get you Event booked in our diary . . . ..  .
