Photo Booth

FI and I are getting married in October, and my stepfather wants to rent a photo booth for the reception. He's taking care of booking it and everything, but wants us to choose the options ASAP. We haven't put a lot of thought into the schedule for the reception yet, though, so I'm looking for some advice on what might have worked for you all with photo booths, specifically timing. We'll probably only have it for 3 or 4 hours, but would it be better to have it during the cocktail hour or after dinner? 

Thanks!

Re: Photo Booth

  • I've only been to one wedding that had a photo booth; it was after dinner.
  • Ours will be available after dinner. I was worried about the same thing (we have it for four hours) at first I wanted it to be available during the cocktail hour, but then I realized there would be a huge lag time during dinner.

    The photographer will be setting up while we are eating dinner and then it will be available as soon as dinner is over.

  • Just went to a wedding and they had a photobooth. They had it during the cocktail hour and they they company shut down during dinner and they after dinner was served they opened the booth again. It was perfect!!!  That is what the bride wanted.

  • We're also having a photo booth.  2 strips of photos will be printed- 1 for the guests to keep and 1 for our guest book.  Each guest/couple will put their picture in a page of the guest book and sign/decorate their page. We will be starting this during the cocktail hour.  We have it for 3 hours but it will be closed during dinner.
