photo booth

Hey girls,

I been engaged since last year and it feels like forever. Wish I would of got married this year- a 2yr engagement is just too long...it's to the point where I just don't know where to begin! Anyone else feel this way?

Right now I'm checking out the photo booths prices. It would be just around $2000 for 4 hours. That's not cheap! Before I commit, has anyone been to a party with one? Was it cheesy? Let me know!
Thanks!

Re: photo booth

I haven't been to any weddings with them but I think it's kind of expensive for a few hours.....what I would do is book the things you absolutely must have for the wedding and then if you still want to splurge on the photo booth then do it....Just an option...

I booked my band and for an extra $1500 I can have an accordian player for the older italian guests and 2 flat screen LCDs but I am going to wait until i'm closer to the wedding to see if I still want to add those things since its an extra $1500 I might be able to use towards something else.

Good Luck though....the photo booth sounds like a cute idea.

Re: photo booth

I have heard of them going for about 1000 so I would keep looking. I have never been to a wedding that had this but think it would be a lot of fun!

Re: photo booth

NYC Photobooth has a great service, I saw it at TWOTY, but I couldnt justify 2k for 4 hours including delivery

WOW! I'm jealous... I wish I could get one of these. I really wanted one but can't afford that extra couple of thousand. And I am worried about people spending all of their time in there. My sister and friends went to a party where they had one and on my friends fridge is a whole bunch of pictures from them in the booth.

Re: photo booth

I've seen 2K for a lot of places too. I really wanted to get that for my wedding but will have to wait towards the end to see if I still have the money (which I doubt with the way things are going). I would make sure that who ever you find can move the booth up and down stairs and on different types of flooring. I know it sounds weird but I am getting married at Jericho Terrace and a passed bride got married there and ordered a booth but not from NYC photobooth, and when the booth arrived the people said the booth can't go up and down stairs. I don't remember the company and what the end results were. But just keep that in mind during negotiations. Good Luck!

Re: photo booth

I went to a wedding a few weeks ago and it was awesome. We loved it. I really want it but the FH doesnt want to spend the extra money on it

Re: photo booth

everyone I have talked to said it was totally worth it. I personally love it because they are so hard to find these days. I saw some posts though about those photobooths that were cheap and they ended up being scams so be careful! I got a couple of quotes from MME and NYC and MME discounted because I was going to be doing some other things with them and they own their own booth so they can negotiate more. Good Luck !
