    I think they are really cool, but I have heard expensive. Do you know how much they run? I would love one if it isn't too pricey!

    I LOVED having the photobooth at our wedding. It was definitely another form of entertainment and we got many compliments on it. Plus you get fun keepsakes. See my married bio for full review.

    Our photog (Kara Schultz) added a photobooth package fairly recently, and we're doing that.  We got it at the intro price, too!

    We booked Chicagoland Photobooth based on the reviews from other Knotties. Our four hour package is about $700 and includes all the digital pictures and a full-time attendant. CP has add-ons for two-sets of prints, prop boxes, extra hours, etc. So far they have been really easy to work with and they have really good reviews on here. :)

     I definitely LOVE the photobooth idea, but there were some knotties that said they think it took away from the evening because nobody was dancing...everyone spent time in line at the photobooth.  Either way, I'm still going to think about it because I think it does make a good favor for the guest/keepsake for the bride & groom.

    We are doing a photo booth at our reception.  The photos will also serve as our favors.  I think they are great!!  We got ours through our DJ, Sounds Abound (naperville)

    I used Chicagoland Photobooth as well. They were a breeze to work with, and the photobooth was a huge hit at our wedding. We paid extra for the prop box and scrapbook, which were both a ton of fun (I think it was about $1k total). You get to take the scrapbook right home and the immediate gratification of getting to see all the pictures made it worth every penny. We also considered the photos our favors, and put bookmark holders with a note inside at each place setting to remind people to visit the booth. It ended up not being too much of a splurge in the end.

    We also went with Chicagoland Photobooth and like pp they were super easy to deal with, we also used them as our favors and got the prop box and guest book.  Best Idea Ever.  People were raving about it and we get all the pictures on a DVD which was awesome.  We also got to put our logo on the strips so it really tied it together with our wedding theme which made me happy.  I say it is worth the splurge.

    We're going with I Do!  Photobooths.  They are $1075 but you get unlimited prints (one for each person in the shot plus one for the scrapbook), unlimited time, and a photo scrap booth all included.  The photo booth was definitely on my "must haves" list becuase I've pretty much had a lifelong obsession with them.  So far, they people have been really great, and I'm really looking forward to seeing all the crazy pictures!!
