Back at the end of July we also had the pleasure in being part of a very special family day for a fabulous charity called Upside Downs.  It was held at Jump in Albany for young people with Down Syndrome, and their families.  Everyone had a blast on the trampolines and also relished the chance to get some great family photos in our booth.  A great day was had by all and it was so nice that we were invited to be part of it.

And next month will see us back at the Grand Wedding Expo at the Sky City Convention Centre.  We will be in our usual stand at this expo – so mark 27th September in your diaries and we look forward to seeing you there!

And last but by no means least, we thought we would share with you our most favourite venue from recent weeks – the aviation hall at Motat.  How cool does our booth look amongst all of these old planes … ?  Very cool we think!!

We are flying through school ball season, and what a great year it has been!   Having been in this business for some time now, we are lucky enough to attend balls for the same school year after year.  And we are constantly amazed by the creativeness and classiness of each event – they really do get better and better year on year.

And of course, a photo booth is always such a HUGE hit at these balls ….. proof of this being in the queue which can be seen trailing from the booth all night long.  Lets face it – everyone loves a good selfie (especially students) – so our booth is always going to be one of the most popular additions to the night.  We often overhear students saying things like “this is the best night of my life” or “this is the best photo booth ever”!

For those of you who still have your school ball coming up – we look forward to joining you for another fab night!

Many of you will know someone who has been affected by cancer but did you know that 8 women a day are diagnosed with breast cancer in New Zealand?  May is the month of the Pink Ribbon Breakfast fundraisers, and in 2014 over 2000 kiwis hosted a  breakfast and collectively raised over a million dollars for breast cancer research.  This year it aims to be bigger and better again!

Photo Booth Fun Auckland had the pleasure of donating a photo booth to one of these events yesterday – and wow what a morning it was!!  It is the 2nd year that the Lovely Lord Ladies have hosted a breakfast, and this year they really out-did themselves!  Over 60 ladies turned up to enjoy the morning, with alot of wonderful give-aways, raffles, games and of course a very scummy breakfast!  It was so heartwarming to be involved in this event and to see everyone digging deep for such a good cause.  It was also so wonderful to see businesses within the wider community donating goods and services which helped to make the morning the huge success that it was.

So far they have raised $2850 – and that figure is still growing!  What an AMAZING result from one breakfast – you ladies rock!  You can check out more about the Lovely Lord Ladies at http://pinkribbonbreakfast.co.nz/page/thelovelylordladies – and of course you can also donate on this page too.

Keep up the wonderful work New Zealand – truly amazing stuff!

Next Tuesday we will have a stand at Convene – where organisers of conferences, meetings and incentives can source a diverse range of products and services under one roof.  Convene 2015 will be held on Tuesday April 21 from 9am-4.30pm at the ANZ Viaduct Events Centre.  We will be at stand number 86 – so if you are attending this expo, please come along and say hi.

The following weekend sees us back at the Grand Wedding Expo at Sky City.  This is one of our favourites, as we get to meet heaps of excited brides and grooms making plans for one of the biggest days of their lives.  If you are planning a wedding over the coming year, you really should come along to this expo – everything you need for your big day is under the one roof!

Well we must be doing something right as this has been a month of repeat business from very happy customers.

Back at the start of March we attended the AUT AuSM week at all 3 campuses – an event we attend several times a year.  And just last week we were at Pasifika, and will be attending Polyfest this coming weekend – festivals that keep inviting us back!  We have also been at several 21st birthday parties of people whose older siblings had booked us a few years earlier (for their own 21st’s!).

Please be assured that we will endeavour to continue to provide the very best service we can -  to not only hold onto the customers we already have, but hopefully to add YOU to that list.

Thanks to all those lovely customers who keeping coming back – and a very warm welcome to those about to join the “happy” list.

Okay, so we are only in February, and Christmas was really not that long ago ….. but its never too early to start planning ahead to your 2015 school ball!  School balls can take a huge amount of planning and preparation, so the sooner you can start, the better your night will be.

Photo Booth Fun is going to be at the School Ball Expo again this year – which is on Thursday 12th March at the Ellerslie Events Centre.  It is a fabulous event, which is designed to help all students organising or attending their High School Ball, Prom or Senior Formal. You’ll find useful information on school ball planning and budgeting, as well as a list of recommended local DJs, Bands, Photographers and more. And event better – its free to enter!  For more information go to www.schoolballexpo.co.nz.

We are always very keen to try new things here at Photo Booth Fun, and were able to do just that at a recent event with Absolut. They were holding a Project Reveal party over three days at the Longroom in Ponsonby, and wanting a fun and innovative way to promote their new product – and what a better way then a photo booth!

With an Andy Warhol theme, we were able to make some changes to our usual photo strips, and look at the results below ….

Check out more great photos of this event at www.facebook.com/absolutnewzealand

If you have any product launches or events coming up where you want something a little bit different, please let us know what you have in mind …. you just never know what we might be able to do!

 

Our calender is already looking pretty full between now and Christmas, however we do still have some dates available.  So, if you are on the social committee at work or have been put in charge of organising an end of year team get-together, give us a ring today.  We will do our absolute best to fit you in – cos lets face it, no Christmas party is complete without a photo booth!
