Our Classic Kiwi Summer

Posted by , in Events, Marketing, Photo Booth, Taranaki

It sure has been hot lately, the perfect kiwi summer…and what do us kiwi’s do every summer – we head to the beach!

We have found the perfect way to spend our summer and we think you will agree it ticks all the boxes! Imagine a place where you can relax and enjoy delicious food and live music while wondering through stalls of some incredibly talented people selling beautiful products all on the water’s edge – sounds unreal doesn’t it?? Turns out this amazing place exists right here in New Plymouth. We have been spending our kiwi summer at the beach with our wonderful photo booth thanks to The Seaside Market – it really is a fantastic event with the best summer vibes. You should totally check it out here:  The Seaside Market

See our photo booths really can be set up just about anywhere, even the beach is no problem at all. We love taking our booths to different and exciting locations so if you have an idea for a venue no matter how crazy then let us know and I’m sure we can figure out a way to get Photo Booth Fun there for some good times!

IMG_0275The North City Wedding Expo is almost upon us Wellingtonians!

And its a great way to find everything you need for a wedding all under one roof – especially your booth! We’ve said it before but it bears repeating – you try out lots of other things that go into your wedding (even your future spouse!) so you really should get your props on and get into one of our booths. Its a great way to get in some wedding day kiss practice and we know this because trying to find a photo from last year’s expo that didn’t involve a lip-locked couple was no easy task!

If you haven’rt already sent out invites or other details about your wedding hold onto those strips you get from the booth because with a little scanning and some creativity you could have some really fun images!

We’ve talked about how much we enjoy these expos before and its true – they really are a great way to meet brides, grooms and families and start the process of creating memories. So come along to the Te Raupararaha Arena in Porirua on 24 January and come give our fantastic booth a trial run!


Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

The team at Photo Booth Fun would like to wish you all the very best for the holiday season! Though I’m writing this from Sunny Hawkes Bay I know all our staff from right around the country join with me in Merry Christmas

We’ve been involved in some awesome events this year in Hawkes Bay, from Weddings to 21st Parties, from 50th, 60th and 70th birthdays to the Special Children’s Extravaganza, from School Balls to  work conferences and functions and an amazing night at Christmas at the Park with Dave Dobbyn and 27000 guests I can honestly say it’s been a fantastic year for Napier, Hastings, Havelock North and the whole Hawkes Bay region!

And 2016 is looking to be even better! I look forward to our team coming to your special event and adding some extra photobooth fun!

Give us a call now!

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 ;)

Wellington Photobooth

 

We love Photo Booth Christmases in Wellington! Because the booth is the perfect place for workmates to come together and let off steam without having to hit the dance floor. And the best thing of all it leaves people with a memory from the night. Once upon a time all the memories you got from the office Christmas Party were when someone sat on the photocopier and made 20 A4 copies of their backside. But throw in a Christmas props box and a photo booth and now you can have all sorts of memories that last beyond the night.

Its always great fun to see the pictures following a Christmas Party where all sorts of people, regardless of where they sit on the corporate ladder or what they do for the rest of the year act a little silly and have fun. A photo booth also allows those people who don’t drink or can’t drink on the night to relax and do something a little wild. The curtain truly does give people license to let their hair down and like we always say, “People do the funniest things when they think no-one is watching”.

So check and see if there are still spots left Wellington. And if we can’t fit you in for 2015 then book now for 2016. A year isn’t too long for an advance booking.

Have a Merry Christmas from the Wellington team!


Always work with children and animals!

Someone is a bit more convinced than the other here

There is the old showbiz adage that states you should never work with children or animals. At Photobooth Fun we say to heck with that! Some of the most awesome moments in a photobooth can be provided by our little friends (of either 2 or 4 legs).

Dog in a PhotoboothIn October both children and animals came together in fantastic fashion when the Wellington team helped the Pet Centre out for two days for the grand opening of their Lyall Bay store. We had families, kids, bunnies, puppies, older dogs and even an 85kg St. Bernard in the booth! Some folks even came back with more family, friends and pets the second day!

Its the great thing about a photobooth for a function – everyone loves them. And more importantly we can even make sure that all your guests, furry or otherwise, can have a turn. If you’ve got a lot of kids or pets at your function let us know because we can give you some advice about the best set up to make sure that everyone has a chance to make great memories in the booth.


It is that time of year!

If your house is like my house then you are probably well into the Christmas countdown! While I am still trying to figure out where exactly the last 10 months have gone I find myself saying “be nice to your sister – you know Santa’s elves are heading out soon to keep watch” all too often, and answering all toy requests with “put it in your letter to Santa and see what happens”. Christmas stores seem to be popping up in places I didn’t even know existed and that catchy Christmas music has started in the background of radio adverts… what does all this mean? It is a fairly good indication that one of my favourite times of the year is upon us… end of year work function time!!

That amazing time of year when you get to let your hair down knowing that a Christmas break is so close you can almost touch it…and what are the vital ingredients for a successful work function? Good food, Good drink, good entertainment AND a good photo booth! That is where Photo Booth Fun come in and we can’t wait!

 

So be like these 2 at your work function…

If for some silly reason you haven’t locked us in for you work do then give us a call today and we will try and squeeze you in!


Showing Wellington

We get all sorts of things in the booth in Wellington and now we can add actual muppets to the list!

We were at the 2015 Show Me Wellington Conference Expo early last month where we had a great time showing the booth off to hundreds of potential corporate hirers. It was great to get a whole different bunch of people through the booth and get them to have a play with our new social media uploader. With this new feature your guests can now use a tablet, linked wirelessly to the booth, to select and upload their pictures to Facebook and Twitter – straight away from whatever function they might be at.

We also had a whole heap of fantastic comments from people who had never experienced a Photobooth Fun booth before. They really liked:

  • the quality of the prints
  • our custom photo strip
  • the fact that booth guests can see the photo on the booth screen just after its been taken
  • how compact and classy our booth looked.

So we are hoping that this little taste has whetted their appetites and we might see a few familiar faces in the booth come Christmas Party time.

 

 


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 :)
