Photo Booths are becoming more popular within the wedding industry. The concept of letting guests take as many pictures as they want and the bride having an album of all their fun photos – it’s catching on as one of the greatest wedding ideas ever. However, placement of the photo booth can either make or break the effectiveness of the concept.
There are many times when a photo booth just won’t fit in the ballroom – and a wedding planner or mother will try and put the booth at the entrance or lobby. This is okay, because guests will know where to come to get their photos. But this also means they have to physically leave the party in order to have fun in the photo booth. We’ve seem numerous occasions where guests would rather be lined up for the photo booth and opt to miss out on other reception features (cutting of cake, toasts, bouquet toss etc). When your photo booth is placed outside of the main party area – you are forcing your guests to choose between the party and the photo booth entertainment you’ve provided.
Sometimes we are placed right next to the DJ – now don’t get me wrong, we love the music. But when we are right there with the speakers blaring – it’s hard to get guests interested when they can’t hear instructions. The DJ typically needs to be front and center with the dance floor – the photo booth doesn’t need to be a main attraction.
A Photo Booth does very well along a wall or in a corner of the room, with access to remove the booth if it’s not being used for the entire event. Trust me, you won’t miss the photo booth. When it’s included in the reception area – the guests won’t have to choose to leave the party.
