Where the booth fits, hour by hour
Every reception runs to its own clock, so treat the times below as an example evening rather than a schedule. What matters is which parts of the night the booth is genuinely working for you.
An example evening
We aim to arrive at least an hour and a half before your rental time begins, so the booth is standing, lit and tested while the room is still being finished. That window is ours: it does not come out of the hours you are paying for. All we need from your venue is a standard power outlet and a reliable Wi-Fi connection.
Cocktail hour is when guests are standing around with a drink and nothing to do, which is exactly when a booth earns its place. Your custom welcome screen is already on, the props are styled, and the attendant is pulling people in rather than waiting to be asked.
Once plates are cleared, the queue builds fast. Sessions are unlimited, so nobody is being counted, and your attendant keeps it moving: restyling props between groups, and making sure the print lands in the right hand before the next group steps in.
Later in the night is when the platform gets busy, because a slow motion video of a dance floor outfit is the thing people post before they sit back down. Three or four guests fit on it at once, so groups go up together rather than one at a time.
The last few prints come out, guests take their digitals home on their phones, and we pack down. Where the booth includes an online gallery, it is there to download from afterwards, so the photos outlive the night.
