Ball season has started and we’ve come to realise that school students have the Three P’s perfected! Let’s take a look at some examples..

First up we have ‘Peace’, one of the most popular booth poses. The perfect last-minute pose if you have missed the 4… 3…. 2… and turn around to the number 1 appearing on the screen!

Next up is the Pout , well and truly perfected by high school students. This one can take a bit of practice, but once you’ve got it sorted you can’t go wrong with a good pout!

And finally we have the all round ‘Pose’. This can be anything from the Surprised Face… Fish Lips… Charlies Angels… Bunny Ears… Tongues out and if you’re lucky maybe even a peck on the cheek! (Bonus points for a variety!)

Whatever you decide to do in the booth, whether it’s spontaneous or pre-planned, the Photo Booth Fun staff love hearing all of the hysterical laughter coming from behind that curtain when you first see your captured photo!

If you’re looking to add that extra bit of fun to your school ball, contact us now to find out about our packages!

We are finding props are making the party this season!

They add so much fun to any event. Whether you are having a wedding, a party, a school ball or any party really, there is one essential ingredient…….it needs to be FUN!!!!!   A photo booth definitely adds the fun to any event but adding a photo booth with props takes it to a whole new level.

Props give the guests a chance to let loose and be silly. They also add spontaneity and help create great looking photos.  You are guaranteed huge amounts of laughs, with guests lining up to get a piece of the action. Creating lasting memories the best way we know how…with laughter.

Take a look at this beauty. She took a colourful hat with some funny glasses and added a gorgeous smile to boot.  Perfect!!!!

Welcome to the end of June folks!

It has been a month of chilly weather here in the Bay of Plenty, in fact all over the country it has been freezing! I hope you’ve all kept safe, dry and warm over the last month, it’s sad to say but I think it’s only going to get colder!

With the cold weather there comes comfort in warming up with friends and family and reminiscing over fond memories. Memories are great, but can fade, so sometimes having a picture to renew those old feelings can be a valuable addition to any story or evening around the fireplace. Unfortunately some photos don’t stand the test of time, however some do. Like the high quality colour, or black and white prints from our Photo Booths.

We know that our equipment is top notch, and delivers exceptional results, consistently, that stand the test of time. Which given that you’re paying your hard earned money for our services, transforms the experience from a mere novelty, to a worthwhile investment in memories that can be drawn upon time and time again to provide cheer when the weather or other factors conspire to make the outlook gloomy.

We also have some pretty cool guys and girls working for us who don’t mind you and your guests cutting loose and having a great time. It’s of huge importance to us that every part of the Photo Booth Fun experience lives up to its name!

Just check out these images from our most recent event here in the Bay of Plenty to gain an insight into the sort of emotion that we can help you to take home in your pocket or bag, or custom guestbook, or frame, or custom memory stick, or custom envelope, or even in a private online gallery. We like to give you more than a couple of options!

MC or not MC? Is that the question?

Wellington Manager Greg has been a professional MC for conferences and events for over 24 years. With Wedding season upon us Greg has some suggestions for getting the most out of your MC:GE on stage

Weddings are a curious gathering of people. Unless its a super small affair there’s a big chance that the only thing that most people have in common is one half of the happy couple or the other. So the formalities in the wedding reception can be a tough balancing act. Everyone likes a few great stories about the bride, groom or both but the speeches can’t go on too long or it just sucks the life out of the evening – people want to get down to the eating, drinking, dancing and photo boothing.

So your MC is an important person – they can really help tie all the speeches together or they can just make everything worse. Here’s a few quick tips for finding the right person and how to get the most out of them:

  1. Pick your MC early – its an important role and can be as important as the rest of the bridal party in making sure things go well
  2. Make sure that he or she knows who else is speaking and can get in touch with them well in advance. That way your MC has a chance to find out what people are talking about and can gently make sure they’re doing a bit of prep. Knowing who is talking and what they are talking about allows for a better and more personal introduction. Its even a great idea for them to know how long each speaker will be. It just means that people will feel like there is a time limit and not go rambling on!
  3. Its not about the MC! They are the glue that holds things together and keeps things moving but we want to hear from the parents, the happy couple and the bride and groom. Often people pick an MC who’s “a bit of an extrovert” and they can spoil things by taking up more time with their own stories. I’ve even seen one wedding MC steal one of the father of the bride’s jokes
  4. Make sure they know everything that is happening well in advance – introduce them to your planner, the photobooth operator or the venue. Then they can run and announce things without you constantly having to tell them new things
  5. Your MC is like the sober driver of the evening – they don’t get on it until the formalities are done. That way you can rely on them to keep things on the straight and narrow.
  6. Unexpected things can occur if you throw open to the floor to say something – so be prepared for that! Think about your guests and whether that is wise. If Aunty Lynne always likes a drink and to sing off-key maybe don’t open it up for anyone to talk!

If you’ve got an MC who is staying on top of those little things then the speeches at your wedding and the rest of the formalities can be a really memorable part of the evening and not an endurance test of politeness!
