Social Booth Explained

I bet you know exactly what a Photo Booth is, right? I mean you haven’t been living under a rock, have you? Everyone know what a Photo Booth is. But not everyone knows what a Social Booth is. And that’s what we’re here to tell you about!

The Basics

Let’s start with the basics here so you don’t get confused about what a Social Booth is. It’s a Photo Booth…but…on steroids..AND…if you can even imagine it…it costs less! You get a real photo booth capturing the real fun at your event for the fraction of the cost. Now, you might be wondering why we’d (or any company really) would offer you a better version of a Photo Booth Rental that’s less money.

Social Booth Cost

If you’ve read our other blogs you know we just keep it real here. So, we’re going to be honest with you. We can offer the Social Booth for less because it costs us less! Why? No paper, no ink, no printer. Well, what is the point of a photo booth without prints? A LOT!! All you need is a WIFI signal and our booth will actually TEXT your guests a copy of their visit. And that’s where the name comes from. You’re being social with your visit by sharing it with others. Text away, share on Facebook, Instagram, or send it to granny in an email. Be social with it.

How’s It Work?

So, basically a Social Booth works the same as a regular Photo Booth rental up until the time the prints normally come out. Instead of hooking up to a printer, the booth attendant will hook up to your venues WIFI connection. Then, at the end of their visit your guests will be asked to enter their telephone number into the booth, which will text them from an internet phone number that’s programmed into the booth. They’ll get a cute little image showing off their photo booth posing skills. It comes as a 4X6 postcard style graphic with anywhere from 1-3 images in it. (Wanna see what it looks like? I put a recent rentals image below.)

How Can I Customize The Experience?

The Classic Social Booth Rental comes with the booth, a backdrop, and props. You pick your choice of 6 Themes that we have available. Each theme has matching backdrop, prop set, greeting screen, and digital template that goes along with it. We automatically customize the digital template to put your info in it. So, for example we can edit the graphic to say “Happy Birthday John!!” or “Anchors Away to Megan” or whatever else your event is about.

But for some people they want more….and there are a few upgrades that you can add on or you can order our Premium Social Booth with all the fixings. We can offer things like a GIF upgrade so instead of a 4X6 postcard your guests get a square graphic frame with an actual loop GIF of their visit in it. Or you can add on a Digital Download of all your event files so you get a copy too! Our premium upgrade comes with completely customized graphics so we’ll design something just for you. We can match school colors, insert special graphics, change fonts, or even use an existing photo in the design!

How Do I Book a Social Booth????

Booking a Social Booth for your next celebration is super easy. All you have to do is either gives us a call or click through to our contact button and drop us your info. Our office manager, Eve, will reach back out ASAP to ask some simple questions and get a quote out to you.

I bet you thought you couldn’t afford the fun. The current average rental rate for a traditional booth is around $800.00. But what will you get for $350.00? Glad you asked!

What do you need to book it? First, you need to verify that your venue has a WIFI signal for the booth to connect to. Next, you need to contact us to make sure your date is available. Then, it’s half down to reserve the booth for your celebration. The other half is due when the team sends you a proof of the digital template to approve. That happens about 2 weeks before your event date.

Lastly, let’s talk real quick about the upgrades available so you know before we talk:

Digital Download of all files for you, the host
GIF upgrade with a loop video of the visit
Premium service with a custom design
Green Screen Backdrop
On location slide show for guests to see
Slide show of all images after the event.

I think it’s super important to note that these prices are average and can be tallied from amateur/beginner rates all the way through the pros. The cost for a professional wedding photographer in Erie is currently closer to $4,000+.

5 Incredible MUST Haves for Your Wedding Video

by efrank77 | Feb 9, 2023 | VIDEOGRAPHY, Wedding Video Service

What Can’t I Leave Out of My Wedding Video?

Your wedding video is one of the most important items you will ever purchase. It is a cherished memory that you and your family will enjoy for many years to come. There are certain shots that should be included in your wedding video in order to capture the essence of your special day.

So, what do you need to ask your Videographer to include in your wedding film? Check out our list and take notes.

#1- First Look/First Touch

When it comes to wedding videos, most couples focus on the reception and the speeches. While those are both important parts of the day, they can often overshadow the bride and groom’s first look. That moment is a special one, full of emotion and sentimentality. It’s a chance for the newlyweds to share a private moment before all of the chaos starts.

Some couples choose to do their first look in a more private setting, away from all of the guests. Others choose to do it right before the ceremony, so everyone can witness it. No matter when you choose to do it, make sure you take the time to capture it in your wedding film. You’ll be glad you did.

Trust us when we say you will NOT regret hiring a wedding videographer. But if you’re not sure yet: 5 Reasons You Will NEVER Regret Hiring Wedding Video

#2- Bride’s Epic First Walk

When the bride walks down the aisle on her wedding day, it is an awe-inspiring sight. The love and excitement is clear for everyone to see and it is a beautiful moment that will be remembered forever. In addition, the groom’s emotional reaction is unforgettable. It’s one of my top favorite moments from every wedding I serve. Capturing the walk down the aisle in your wedding film is a wonderful way to relive the memories of the day, and it provides a lasting record of the event.

Make sure you hire a wedding videographer in Erie Pa that offers two shooters so you get film of the back and front at the same time. The groom’s reaction is easier to film from the front end while the videographer at the back captures that gorgeous train trailing behind. It is definitely a do not miss moment.

Waiting to long to hire wedding video can mean the best in the business are long gone. When To Hire Wedding Video

#3- Those Hilarious Speeches

Your vows and speeches are an important part of your wedding day. They are a chance for you to express your love for each other in front of all your friends and family. You want to make sure that these memories are captured on video so that you can look back on them and relive the joy of your wedding day.

Make sure that you work with your videographer to capture these important moments. Plan ahead and let your videographer know what you would like to have recorded. Be sure to rehearse your vows and speeches so that you can deliver them confidently in front of the camera.

Likewise, the toasts and speeches during your reception need to be preserved to listen to and relive the laughter and love.

Not sure if your videographer will be capturing audio on your wedding day? One of the tell-tale signs is actually how much you invested in their service. Find out more: How Much Should a GREAT Wedding Videographer Cost?

#4- Those Wonderful Moments

One of the biggest mistakes a couple makes is short changing themselves when it comes to Wedding Video coverage. They do this in two ways.

The first is to not book enough time to cover the special moments at the reception such as Grand Entrance, Cake Cutting, Newlywed First Dance, Parent Dances & Bouquet Toss. But this isn’t the worst thing couples do.

Those extra special moments I’m talking about are the ones that happen alone. Many brides only think about newlywed photos and they forget the newlywed video. Making sure to schedule some time alone with just your video team on your wedding day to capture the love in your eyes as you gaze at each other is so essential to your Wedding Video. Stop and cherish these moments. Sway together in the sunset and allow your videographer to preserve the love you felt in that moment.

#5- The Details…all the Little Details

Admit it, you spend 85% of your wedding planning focusing on the details. You pour over color swatches, fabric, flowers, and centerpieces. You spend hours viewing venues to find the perfect one with just the right atmosphere. You waste, I mean invest, days going through Pinterest to get inspired for a wedding cake and theme. And then what do you do? You completely ignore all that work by forgetting to ask your Wedding Videographer to preserve it in your wedding video. I’m not kidding. I’ve had to gently nudge brides about how much they’ll regret not having video and photos of all the hours of work they put into making this day spectacular.

Do you even need a wedding film? After all, aren’t they kind of “cheesy”? You’re thinking of those TV sitcoms with Uncle Ned walking around shoving his camera in your relatives faces while they’re eating. Aren’t you? Admit it. It’s okay. We all have some questions. Here are the 5 WORSE Wedding Video Myths BUSTED.

Got Your List of Must Have Wedding Video Shots now?

In conclusion, your wedding video should capture the moments that are most important to you. Be sure to include the ceremony, the reception, and any special moments that you want to remember forever. As you plan your wedding video, keep these tips in mind, and you’re sure to create a keepsake that you’ll treasure for years to come.
