You both are excited and looking forward to that special day where you exchange vows and ride off into the sunset as husband and wife. 2.3 million couples get married every year in the United States and the one thing most couples share in common is planning for the perfect wedding. What is a perfect wedding? Shouldn’t it be about two people who love each other and are committing their lives to one another in front of their close family and friends? You would think the wedding is about the couple of the hour but unfortunately that isn’t the case.
The bride and groom obviously want to exchange vows and declare their love for one another but they also want to make sure that their wedding leaves a lasting impression on their guests! Everything from the venue, the vows, the scenery, the season to the food, the bar and most important, the entertainment. As a guest who has attended my share fair of weddings, what stands out the most to me is the entertainment and food.
How can you leave a lasting impression on the guests? How about capturing all the impromptu and memorable moments of your special day? Guests will only remember what they have a breadcrumb of, such as a video clip of themselves acting silly while they are liquored up and feeling good! The newest craze at weddings are 360 photo booth rentals.
What is a 360 Photo Booth?
A 360 photo booth is a circular platform that a person or people stand on while an automated arm rotates around the platform while people pose, act silly or dance. On the end of the arm, the operator will fix a IPad, Iphone, GoPro or Camera which takes a quick video between 3-5 seconds long. The end result is a video that is in slow motion, boomerang or a GIF. Beforehand, as part of the preparation, the photo booth rental company will prepare a song for the background and an overlay for the final product. Not only does a 360 photo booth attract the attention of everyone at your event, your guests will have a blast using the 360 photo booth and the final product is AMAZING!
Before reserving a 360 photo booth, there are a few things to consider:
- What size platform is being offered?
360 photo booth platforms range from 26″ to 45″ This makes a huge difference because the smallest platform only allows one person at a time to stand on the platform while a 40″ to 45″ platform can hold 4-6 people at a time. Make sure to ask the photo booth rental company what size platform is included with their rentals. - How many hours will be needed?
Most 360 photo booth rental companies will offer various packages starting at 2 hours on average. The average cost for a 2-hour rental can run from $500-$650 which normally includes an on-site attendant to run the 360 photo booth, props, unlimited video and boomerang captures, online gallery, 1 overlay and a song for the background. Most companies will charge you for additional hours over 2 hours. Depending on how many guests are attending your wedding will determine how many hours you’ll need to rent a 360 photo booth. - Location, location location!
Keep in mind, a 360 photo booth needs WIFI and access to a power source. The 360 photo booth operator will ask you where you’re having your wedding and what the layout of the reception will be. Most companies will set proper expectations with their clients and walk through the space before the date of the actual event to ensure proper space, power and WIFI.
Your wedding will leave a lasting impression on your guests whether good or bad. If you are looking to keep the energy up and have your guests involved and out of their seats, reserve a 360 photo booth for your special day and make it that much more SPECIAL!
