IMG_0330We are in the middle of a busy wedding season in Wellington and coming hot off the heels of Christmas party season. These events are places where you are most likely to find a photo booth but there are all sorts of other occasions that we show up to that might give you some ideas for your next event.

Birthday parties are always a fun celebration to add a photobooth to and we are also able to lower our booths to kid height just for kid’s parties. How about a photobooth at your anniversary? If they’re good enough for weddings why not the anniversary of one? We also love having booths at openings – the photo above was taken at a pet store opening and its a great way to send people away with a reminder that your store has opened up in their area.

How about get a booth along for your conference, maybe at the dinner to loosen everyone up before the dance floor gets into swing. Or maybe for a promotional activity? Sure we’ve provided booths for the ABs and Coca Cola (up in Auckland anyway) but that doesn’t mean we can’t come up with something to fit your promotional budget.

And we’re always open to hearing about using our photobooths at your fundraisers – school fairs, charity dinners, whatever. If we are able to help out we’d love to. You can use the booth to collect gold coin donations or just to provide a fun record of your fundraiser. The possibilities for booth use are endless – get in touch with us to talk about it!


Our Classic Kiwi Summer

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!

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.

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…
