Questions?

Here you will find answers to our most frequently asked questions, simply click the question to reveal the answer. If you have any other queries or simply fancy a chat to clarify details please don't hesitate to get in touch.

• Do you travel.

  Absolutely…we can bring the booth anywhere in the UK, as standard the first 50 miles of any round trip is included in the fee, beyond that we charge £0.50 pence per mile to help cover both travel time and the ever increasing cost of fuel. Or if you are a long way from Derbyshire please get in touch for a personalised travel quote.

• How long do you attend.

  Three hours is the standard duration with additional hours available at £75 per hour. Your three hours of coverage are purely photo booth time, we arrive 90 minutes before the start time to set up.

• Suggested start time.

  From experience 7.30/ 8pm works really well for weddings as it gives guests something to do whilst the evening celebrations gain momentum. Also if there will be children you are able to capture them before they have a meltdown or need to go to bed. Please note start time can also be dictated by access to the setup location and some venues room turn around times. It is always best to double check with your venue / coordinator for advice regarding logistics and timings for suppliers.

• Do we need an attendant.

  Our number one priority is to ensure the best quality images and best quality experience for you and your guests. Our smartly dressed attendant is on hand to help, advise and keep everything running smoothly and looking great! This can range from tweaking the camera or lighting to get the best images, through to tidying up the props. All this means your booth always looks tidy and guests look their best on the prints.

• Do our guests pay for prints.

  Absolutely not! prints are included within the fees, our number one priority is a great booth experience not print sales. If however you are running a ball or charity event for example, please get in touch for a chat to discuss the options.

• Do you provide props.

  Absolutely, we have a broad selection of vintage premium quality items along with a bit of cheese thrown in for good measure. We are also more than happy for you to mix in your own props if you have a specific theme in mind.

• Guest book options.

  It is pretty much impossible for us to second guess everyone’s tastes and styles when its comes to guest books. For collections 2 & 3 we provide a kraft style 8x8 inch ring bound book, pens and adhesives along with our vintage desk to display it. However if you want something more bespoke or personalised you are more than welcome to bring your own book along.

• Insurance / Space / Power.

  As a professional setup we carry both public liability and professional indemnity insurance, this protects both our clients, the venues and ourselves. Our equipment is also PAT tested to ensure safe operation. The photo booth requires a standard UK 3 pin power outlet from a reliable, safe power source within 10 metres of the set up area. The circuit will ideally be free of all other essential connected loads (such as dj’s, bands etc). In terms of space required, 2m x 2m is ideal as a general rule but we can get into tighter spaces, if you have a specific size area just let us know and we can make it work.

• Can the booth be outdoors.

  Our booth is regularly used in marquees, tipi's and other more outside biased venues as-long as we have access to a safe reliable power supply. If you wanted us truly outdoors we would have to be certain of good weather and would require a backup plan in the form of a gazebo to protect our equipment should the weather suddenly change.

• Is early setup possible.

  We always try to remain flexible and if the logistics of your event require a much earlier setup and idle time before starting please get in touch with specific details and we can discuss the options and costs involved.

• Can we customise prints.

  You certainly can and we don't charge any extra for adding your custom graphics/logo/branding or text. Couples generally have their names and wedding date and we can also try to match any existing wedding stationery colours, styles, graphics. All we ask is your logos and graphics are supplied as a high quality png file, if you need help with this just ask. Alternatively we have a wide selection of our own custom designed templates to choose from.

• Can we have a custom backdrop.

  We are fortunate to work with some amazingly talented graphic designers, florists and printers to provide a completely unique look to your booth's background. Whether it be a business event with sponsors logos or a wedding with a bespoke floral background, we can make it happen. Let us know what you’re thinking and we’ll put together a quote.

• How does payment work.

  A £75 deposit is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is then required in the weeks leading up-to the event. Payment can be made via our secure payment portal using Visa, MasterCard or American Express. Direct bank transfer, cheques and cash on the night are all not a problem as well.
