Wow, where did the last year go? While we welcome the new year, we’ve had some pretty good memories created throughout 2015: Weddings, parties, balls, fundraisers and more – And thanks to our instant photo strips, the memories don’t fade!

In 2015 we traveled from Chch to Ashburton, Timaru, Queenstown, Dunedin, Blenheim, Nelson and a few places in between. Yep, we cover the whole South Island and we love to travel so wherever you are, we can get you a photobooth!

 

See you in 2016!

Earlier this month the Waikato PBF team had the chance to spread some Xmas cheer with a great bunch of kids and their families at the Special Children’s Christmas Parties Waikato, Bay of Plenty, Rotorua.  Check out the Photo Booth Fun 2015 – Hamilton gallery here.

Heaps of local businesses supported the day – either with their services like us, or by contributing gifts to the santas present cave and there were heaps of volunteers helping out on the day too.

If you are interested in taking part next year visit their website  – we’ll be back ;)

Waikato BOP Special Children’s Christmas Party

Posted by , in Hamilton, Marketing, Photo Booth, Regions

The Waikato team are stoked to be supporting the Waikato BOP region Special Children’s Christmas Party at Mystery Creek on Saturday the 12th December.

This years party will start at 10:45 am and run for three and a half fun filled hours during which time the children will be treated to a star studded stage show featuring many local, national and international artists. There will be bouncing castles, face painting, our photobooth of course(!) merry-go-rounds, petting zoos, pony rides, clowns, dancers, fairies, magicians, hoop shooting contests, bowling alleys, Police and Army displays, etc to provide plenty of fun and entertainment. With all this fun to be had there will be all the drinks, lollies, chippies, sausages, iceblocks, ice creams, burgers, sandwiches, fruit juice, apples etc. that we can provide to keep the energy levels high.

Santa has made some spectacular entrances such as abseiling down from a 20 metre high roof with his 6 helper elves, on horseback with Mark Todd at the reins, in a Ferrari, on Harley Davidson motor bikes, in a Rolls Royce Limousine, on a sleigh pulled by 2 Newfoundland dogs, on a fire engine etc. After wishing everyone a merry Christmas it is then off to the HUGE Santa’s caves filled with thousands of top quality gifts that spread for over 70 metres. This is when every special child, will receive 3 or 4 high quality gifts to call their own and personally meet Santa.

As you can see each regional Special Children’s Christmas Party is a huge event to organise. It involves some dedicated staff and lots of business and community support. If you would like to get involved please feel free to contact the team via www.sccpnz.co.nz ;)


Farewell to some top Cantab rugby players

Wow, what an emotional time it’s been for NZ Rugby! The excitement of the RWC – Edge of your seat games and excellent performances by our players. And as us proud Cantabrians know, a fair few of them also don the Crusaders jersey and do a fine job of representing rugby for us red and blacks!

So it was a bit of a sad time too for us to hear that two of those stirling Crusaders / All Blacks, Ritchie McCaw and Dan Carter, are leaving NZ rugby. We’ve had the pleasure of working with the Crusaders supporting charity events with Child Cancer and Ronald McDonald House in Chch and they are such good guys. Always happy to join kids and families in the photo booth and embracing the fun of it by wearing whichever props are handed to them by the star struck kids (it’s probably fair to say most of the parents are pretty star struck too!).

 

We’re just thankful that Kieran and the rest of the gang are still with us!

Flexibility is Key!

At Photo Booth Fun we like to think that we are leaders in flexibility with our booths. A key to this is being able to transport our booths virtually anywhere, so long as we are within ten metres range of a power outlet and on level ground. If your event is about location just as much as it is about fun then we would like to take a step forward and extend our services to you!

We have, in our arsenal a fleet of highly portable, durably constructed and top quality Photo Booths; with plenty of experience in utilising our booths in locations that you might not initially think are possible. Over the last couple of years our booths have attended the Internationally recognised WOMAD festival in New Plymouth, The Devonport food and Wine Festival, Taste Martinborough and The Pacifica and Polyfest event in Auckland to mention but a handful.

On many occasions our booths have been required on the upper levels of office buildings and sometimes underground in wine cellars, on farms in the middle of nowhere or on school fields for gala evenings. We can pack our booth down to a compact footprint and wheel it on a trolley to help us gain access via your building lift or access ramp and although it takes a bit of extra effort we are often able to lug it up stairwells too (although some of our smaller operators may require help from a few strapping blokes if they’re feeling gentlemanly).

We also like to make sure nobody is left out of the fun, so we try to offer solutions to issues such as height (small children and little people) and mobility (people in wheel chairs), in these cases we can provide a stool or locate the booth near a platform or ramp if available. If this isn’t a viable option we can always allocate a portion of time to reducing the height of our booth and letting those who may have missed out get snapped a few times, ensuring that nobody has to sit on the sidelines.

We would love to talk to you if you’re planning any event that you may think could benefit from our added flexibility, so please don’t hesitate to contact us and find out if we can help you with your next shindig! Until next post, have a fun time out there :)


The Fun of The Theatre

This month we had the pleasure of travelling to Dunedin where our booth got to go behind the velvet ropes of the VIP after-party for the opening night of The Phantom of the Opera.

Dunedin is such a cool city and it was great to see everyone in their finery having a laugh in our booth – Never a dull moment when the theatre and the booth meet!

 

Hope to see you again soon, Dunedin :)

Tis the season to book your booth in…

Snap snap snap snap snap, snap snap snap snap…

Can you believe it is only 100 days until that jolly fella swaps his board shorts and surf board for a thick red coat and an enormous red sack crammed full of goodies!

And that means it’s time to book your work Xmas party – venue check, catering check, drinks double check… photo booth?!  Don’t miss out!  Last year we saw three big trends emerge:

  1. The number of booth bookings for Xmas party’s increased dramatically
  2. As did the number of props bookings
  3. And the number of Thursday and Friday night functions – we even appeared at a few Wednesday night Xmas parties and some mid week through the day bookings too

We were happily swamped with Xmas party bookings and did our very best to co-ordinate multiple events on the more popular days and nights too – pheewee!  So this year, we have a few special bonuses in store for all of those workplace heroines (and heroes) whose task it is to create that special Xmas social event!

Yes we are taking bookings now, and reserving your date is super easy – simply fill in your date and time on our Bookings and Enquiries form and Suze our admin superstar will contact you to finalise details.  PLUS!!  Any business Xmas party bookings between the 17th November and 24th December will receive special rates, with BONUS upgrades for any Xmas party bookings on a workday/night.

 

And if you’re in any doubt about the fun of a booth at a work event – we had a ball at the recent Warehouse Stationery Waikato/BOP regional ball last Saturday night – with a dress up theme and a booth everyone had a fun night to remember…  and the bonus props were off the hook!

So, if you enjoyed your booth booking last year, contact Suze NOW to reserve your date, and if you didn’t – but you think a booth might be a good idea… don’t spend too long thinking about it!


Go the MIB’s!

Well it’s not long to go before the All Blacks take on the rugby world!

On a recent Air New Zealand flight they unveiled their new Men in Black flight safety video – featuring some of the 2015 All Blacks squad (of course) Richie and Dan, with a rapping Israel Dagg and Stan Walker – click on the image to check it out!

Reminded me of when our Auckland manager Jacqui and our PBF admin superstar Suze had the chance to film a Coke photo booth commercial with the AB’s last year – as you can imagine they had quite a bit of fun ;)

So roll on September and gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo the All Blacks!!
