Looking for an entertaining, interactive way to capture memories at your upcoming event? You can’t go wrong with a photo booth. This type of entertainment has never been more popular for all types of events. 

If you’re looking to hire this technology, Gatwick Sound Photobooth is available throughout Surrey, Sussex, Kent, London and beyond. Whether it’s a wedding, teambuilding event or birthday party, the right photo booth can bring your celebration to the next level.

But with so many options out there, how do you choose the perfect one? Here’s everything you need to know to pick the right photo booth for hire this spring:

1. Define the Goals for Your Events

Before we talk about the different features of photo booths, ask yourself what you want from this technology: is it pure entertainment? Or do you want to encourage your guests to mingle? Do you wish to provide them with keepsakes? All of the aforementioned?

Knowing your goals helps narrow down your choices. For example, if your priority is entertainment and engagement, you’ll want a booth with interactive features and hilarious props. If it’s a corporate event, you probably want a photo booth for hire that can deliver branding.

2. Prioritise the Quality of the Photos

Not all photo booths are created equal. It always helps to pick one that produces high-resolution images that look amazing in both digital and when printed.

At Gatwick Sound Photobooth, our booths are equipped with state-of-the-art cameras and lighting, delivering crystal-clear photos every time. Whether it’s a funny group shot or a romantic couple’s pose, you can expect professional-level results without the need for a photographer.

3. Look for an Attractive, Modern Design

Photo booths should complement your décor, not look like a tardis plonked in the room! That’s why we’ve invested in stunning, contemporary booths that blend seamlessly into any venue, from country barns to stylish city venues.

They’re also compact and unobtrusive, which means you won’t lose valuable space on the dancefloor or around the bar.

4. Consider Customising the Theme for your Event

One-size-fits-all doesn’t work when it comes to events. You want a photo booth that reflects your decorations, theme or brand identity.

Hire our photo booth and you can enjoy fully customisable backgrounds, templates and props, so you can create a look that’s uniquely yours. Think flower walls for weddings, company logos for corporate parties, or themed props for birthdays. We can ensure the photo booth feels like an extension of your event.

5. Ask About Fun Props

Let’s face it, props make everything better. Whether it’s a feather boa, oversized sunglasses or a comedy moustache, a well-stocked prop table brings people out of their shells.

Gatwick Sound Photobooth offers an ever-changing selection of props to keep things fresh, engaging, and entertaining. Expect a mix of quirky, classy, and downright silly – perfect for guests of all ages.

6. Go Beyond Digital: Think Keepsakes

Yes, digital copies are great for social media. But guests always appreciate going home with pictures they can touch and treasure. We offer personalised photo albums and high-quality prints, so you and your guests have tangible reminders of the fun. It’s a lovely touch for weddings, milestone birthdays, and more.

Want to make it extra special? Choose a guest book-style album, where partygoers can add their photo and a personal message alongside it.

7. Check How Easy It Is to Use

A photo booth should be effortless to use, even for tech-shy guests. With our intuitive touchscreen interface, taking a photo is as simple as a single tap. No queues or confusion- just spontaneous fun! Below is one of our  beautiful designs!
