In the Booth Photobooths has a new website!

Mock Up

We’re super excited to announce In the Booth Photobooths has a sparkly new website! 🍾

Providing photo booth hire in so many locations means a website upgrade has been almost a year in the making. We’re passionate at In the Booth about transparency with all our inclusions and services. One thing you won’t find on our website is a one line text description for our inclusions such as ‘photos on USB’. What does that mean? What does the USB look like? Is it professionally packaged? When will it be delivered after my event?

We’re big on clear and plentiful information about each of our services so our customers can make informed choices. We’ve made sure our new website enhances our customer browsing experience and has them feeling more informed than ever! That’s why every single one of our photo booth experiences and inclusions has it’s own dedicated page on our website. If there’s something you need to know, it should be at your fingertips in our mobile friendly menu. Can’t find exactly what you’re after? Just reach out via our contact form and one of our friendly team will be right with you.

For our return customers, we hope you enjoy the improved navigation features and modern layout. Our old site has served us well with many of our customers telling us they loved it’s clear menu and easy to follow layout. Rest assured we’ve kept those things and just added some 2024 enhancements! Video features were a challenge on our outdated site so it’s been super exciting to add more “real life” video examples of our guest experiences throughout the site.

15th Anniversary Logo

Happy 15th birthday to In the Booth Photobooths!

The new In the Booth Photobooths website has launched just in time for our 15th birthday too! After months of hard work, it feels like the best birthday gift ever. We can hardly believe that 2024 will bring us into our fifteenth year of boothing. We’ve seen so much growth and change over those fifteen years but of course, there’s been some serious challenges too. Recent years have shown us all that nothing is certain, and especially so in business.

Our tight knit team and dedication to provide the best possible service to our customers that sees us still capturing magic in our booths today.

Christmas Photobooth Hire Trading Hours

Booking Office closes for 2023: 16th December 2023
Booking Office re-opens for 2024: 8th January 2024

The last of our Christmas party hires are coming to a close over the next couple of weeks for 2023! Like most event hire businesses, In the Booth hits November and just keeps running! School formals make way for Christmas parties from late November. This year has been a flurry of last minute bookings which we always do our best to accommodate.

We’ve loved welcoming back so many of our return corporate customers from 2022 and earlier. We truly look forward to celebrating with your crews each year! Our attendants report back with stories of guests stating “oh, we’re so glad that got you guys back again this year, it’s the best part of our Christmas party!”. This is great to hear and drives us forward to making each year better and better for our return customers.

2024 is well on the road to filling date availability with many of the most popular celebration months booking out earlier than previous years. Please contact us soon if you’re looking to celebrate a special event in 2024! There’s no such thing as booking to early as there’s always some dates that prove more popular than others.

We have some exciting things on the horizon for 2024 and can’t wait to share them with you in the new year. Can you believe that we’re celebrating our 15th year in 2024?! Neither can we…! The only reason a business can exist to celebrate these milestones is their customers. No customers equals no business. As such, we are and will be eternally grateful for our customers and their amazing support.

A peaceful, blessed and very merry Christmas to those following along on the In the Booth journey! We feel honoured to be here.

Christmas Photo Booth Designs

Christmas photo booth hire is one of our favourite things we look forward to at In the Booth each year. It’s always an honour when we have return customers for their Christmas parties. Feedback such as “we couldn’t not have you back again, there’d be mutiny from the staff!” really makes our year!

A Christmas photo booth for your end of year party ticks a lot of boxes. Nothing couples entertainment and instant gifts quite like a photo booth. Not to mention, how are you meant to entertain everyone from Karen in accounts to Colin in despatch? The answer is always found in the booth!

Photo booth hire is the ultimate ice breaker. It can be quite difficult to entertain people in the “right way” at a corporate event. The booth takes away this worry for you. Rest assured guests will be raving about the booth for years to come – which is why so many of our customers ask us back year after year.

“Happy new year. Hope you had a fantastic break. I just wanted to thank you for your services and helping us make our Christmas party a huge success. The photo booth was a big hit and everyone loved it. Also, thank you for the Christmas card and USB containing all the pics/gifs. Cannot wait to start sharing these around. Would definitely look into working with you in the future.” IDP Education

Roaming Photobooth Explained!

Roaming photobooth isn’t the most common of photo booths. You may have heard the phrase before but what exactly does it mean?

History of the roaming photobooth

Let’s go back a few decades! One of the very first indications of a photo booth experience at an event were disposable cameras. They were fairly inexpensive back in the day. Most people invested big money into film cameras. Not so now with phone cameras attempting to compete with the professional camera market.

Disposable camera were readily available for holiday snaps or occasions where people didn’t want to tote a heavy camera. Couples would put them on their wedding tables and let guests snap away. It’s a fun idea to be sure. The only issue is that guests still need to know a little about what they’re doing! Developing film is costly. The last thing you want is a roll of blurry photos or photos from inside a toilet cubicle (yep, it happens!).

Some photographers offer reception packages. However let our pro photographer background let you in on a little secret – most photographers don’t like shooting receptions. Photography packages will include your ceremony and professional photos, and maybe a staged cake cutting shot. After that most photographers will finish for the evening. Why’s that? Because most couples don’t buy prints of “crowd” shots at their reception.

Roaming photo booth for the modern day

Enter, the roaming photobooth idea. A photo booth intersects perfectly with professional photography. When the reception starts, everyone starts to relax. It’s the perfect time for un-posed, candid shots. Sure – they may not be enlarged on your wall. Rest assured though some of your most precious wedding day memories will be capture in those candid shots.

The booth is built for candid in the best way! We all know how a photo booth works – or you will do if you’ve been to a wedding in the last decade! A roaming photobooth is a bit different though and we’ll explain why.

At In the Booth, our roaming photobooth service is via our unique Guest Cam. Guests can literally “roam” your celebration and snap away on their own device. Their photos, aka Guest Cams, will print out of the booth. Voila, your very own roaming photo booth without compromising on a traditional photo booth experience! Check out the sweet little video below.

There’s no limit on how many Guest Cams your guest can capture. They are most welcome to snap away all night! Every image captured will be safely stored in your USB folio that is sent to you after your celebration. We get so many emails from past customers surprised by the fun photos that they didn’t even know were taken!

The best feature without a doubt of our roaming photobooth is that we print. Many roaming services will capture the photos to be sent to you afterwards digitally. Not so with Guest Cam! Print and digital are all part of the hire package at no additional cost.

So what are you waiting for? Enquire today!
