Your wedding entertainment is one of the most important parts of your wedding planning and not suprisingly one of the things brides-to-be worry about the most. You’ll want to ensure your guests have a great time and that everything runs smoothly but most importantly you should be able to relax and enjoy your evening reception and have fun with friends and family.
A photo booth does it all. It provides excellent entertainment (just wait until you hear the laughter coming from the booth) and memories that will last a lifetime. Your guests get a photo momento (or several as is often the case) and you get a guestbook brimming with photos and messages from loved ones.
At the West of England Wedding Show we will be showcasing our brand new product, Party Print. Party Print enables your guests to send their own photographs taken throughout the day on their smart phones or tablets to the photo booth to be printed. These pictures are also saved onto disc for the Bride and Groom and can also be personalised with the same borders/text as the photo booth photos. Its the modern version of the old disposable table cameras which were popular a few years ago without the headache of getting the photos developed. You get to see all those spontaneous moments that you might have missed and the guests get a copy too. This is usually priced at £199 but will be just £99 this weekend, 8th and 9th February, as a special show offer.
Other popular entertainment options include Fun Casino Tables - nothing like a bit of friendly competition to get the party going, Close-up Magic - perfect during your drinks reception, retro games, fireworks, mimes and more. Of course you’re going to need music too but will it be a live band or DJ? We’ve noticed Kareoke is making a bit of a come back - how about recording a videoke in the booth (yes, we do that too).
Whatever you choose, keep the following in mind:
1 Don’t have too much. It can be tempting to have it all and throw the party of a lifetime but the reality is your guests become too segregated and will ultimately be overwhelmed.
2 Do your homework. Unfortunately we’ve seen many photo booth companies come and go over the last few years leaving upset brides in their wake. It’s true of any industry but your wedding day is important. Check the company’s reviews and facebook page as well as their website and make sure they have the correct insurance and elecrical certificates. Wedding shows are fantastic as you get to meet the people who will have such a big impact on your special day.
