Michigan-Detroit

Photobooths {Rock the Booth}

Hi Ladies! I'm getting married next summer in Toledo and was doing research on photobooths for our reception. I decided to branch out and check out some Michigan-area photobooths to see if I could find some better deals and I came across Rock the Booth. 

Has anybody booked or used Rock the Booth? Their prices seem really reasonable and our reception location is still within their free travel distance (!!). 
I read reviews in the Vendor Reviews page at the top of the board, and of the few I saw, it seems like a good vendor --- any additional thoughts from anyone?

Also -- for anyone who has booked or used a photobooth (not just specifically Rock the Booth) - did you guys set up a meeting with them before booking? or did you just do it all through eMail/phone calls etc? We live in Cincinnati and don't have plans of heading up to Toledo/(Detroit) for another month or two. I know it's taking a big risk and we really need to put some trust in those reviews, but would it be odd to book them without meeting them? Anyone else do this? 
{We'd rather try and get that booked now when we know they are still available rather than months from now when they may not be}

Thanks!!

    I personally have not used them (or will) but they get phenominal reviews on here.  I would definitely feel comfortable booking them without meeting them.  I have never seen a bad review.

    My sorority sister used them at her wedding. I don't know what she thought but I thought it was great. They made the couple a book to keep and everyone else got their own photo. The book looked really great!

    I have them booked for my October 8th wedding. I have been extremely happy with all corespondence. I didn't meet with them before I booked, and I still don't see a reason why I would need to. The owner Mara is great. I totally trust that they will be there. I highly recommend them:)

    I have them booked for my wedding on Friday. I have never met them I just did everything through email and they have been great to work with.

    They get really good reviews on here and are super reasonable, if you are looking for a photobooth they are a great choice!

    We used them for our wedding in May. They were AMAZING!!!
    We never met them in person, all communication was over email. They were so professional & the photobooth is STILL talked about by our guests! I would highly, highly, highly recommend RtB! They were definitely a highlight during our reception!!

    We used them for our June wedding and I have only positive things to say about them!  We never met them before booking, just based our decision on the TONS of excellent reviews we saw here.  I highly recommend them.

    I have booked them for our December wedding. They also did a charity event for my work and I got to meet them. From what I saw they were amazing and talking to them at the event and otherwise has been great.

    Thanks everyone for the great reviews!! This was really helpful. I'm glad they come so highly recommended - this makes our decision making process much easier!! :) 

    I saw they have a box of props you can rent for like $50 -- did anyone rent these when they used them? I know that's probably a decision we won't have to make right away but I'm just curious what's in there and if they added more fun to the pictures.

    We used them for our April wedding and they were excellent!  All of our communications were via phone and email.  Their responses are fast and detailed.  I did not meet them in advance but trusted the reviews on here.  They were the first vendor I booked after our venue. 

    They got to the venue on time, were all set up on time.  Our friends and family had a BLAST with it.  We did have the scrapbook and we used that instead of a guest book.  It was AWESOME because they had it ready for us that night and we looked through it the next morning.  We did not get the prop box and didn't miss it but I think that's because most of our guests had never been in a photobooth at a wedding and that was novelty enough - they had a great time just with that.

    The one piece of advice that I have for you - make sure you get in with just your hubby.  We each got in tons of times and even got in together but never just the two of us and I regret that. 

    Good Luck!
