How it runs · five steps, one contact
From brief to report
Brief
Use the planner or call. We usually reply within about 10 minutes during business hours.
Proposal
An itemized written proposal within one business day, ready to forward for approval.
Design
Start screens, print frames, overlays and the gallery built around your brand. You approve before the event.
Show day
Delivery, setup, an attendant for every live hour, and teardown after the last guest.
Report
The next morning: guests served, captures, prints, email opt-ins and your gallery link.
The morning after
Proof for the budget line
The day after your event a report lands in your inbox: how many guests used the activation, how many photos and videos they took, how many prints went home and how many email addresses came in.
That is the difference between saying the booth was popular and showing exactly how many people it reached. Guests who share to their own inbox become a list your sales or sponsor team can follow up, and the branded gallery stays live for your channels.

What event teams say
★★★★★Our event was for staff in healthcare, and being able to escape for a few moments to join the fun made it special. I cannot express how amazing the photo booth and 360 are, so worth it. The images were sent immediately during and after the event.
★★★★★Sonny was extremely professional and easy to work with. The booking process and selection of the templates and backgrounds were easy to complete online. He was on time and set up quickly and was ready to go when guests arrived.
★★★★★They were prompt, professional, generous, and sent the pictures over immediately after the event. They also worked with us to match our theme. The community had a blast, and the photobooth was the highlight!
