Who Knew our YouBooth, Photo Booth is Such a Fun Factory??

Last night I attended the second anniversary party for La Venue, a fabulously versatile turn-of-the-century event space in West Chelsea, and was doubly delighted – and doubly surprised.  The first surprising delight was La Venue’s space: the old hardwood floors are gorgeous, and while the space is vast, it allows for sectioning off so smaller intimate spaces can be created.

The second surprise and real delight was seeing our YouBooth in action.  We tested our new photo booth extensively during its development, so I’ve seen what it can do.  We’ve already contracted YouBooth for a number of events, and I’ve seen the photos and videos from those events.  But that’s nothing like witnessing for myself how people interact with YouBooth!  Seeing YouBooth at an actual event really opened my eyes to its entertainment value.

We’ve incorporated a prop kit into our YouBooth bookings, and it makes all the difference because it allows people to do more then just stand there.  The props bring out a sense of play and silliness that makes for more fun, engaging shots.  At this event we had empty frames in various sizes, and paper lips and mustaches on sticks for people to play with.  And did they ever!

I didn’t realize, until I saw it myself, how positively people react to the modern photo booth.  It truly is a fun form of interactive entertainment for almost any type of event.  Plus, event guests leave with at least one photo of themselves (though they usually get several photos, including shots with friends), so YouBooth serves as a vehicle for party gifts.  On top of that, the customized photo template allows for branding for corporate events, or commemoration for weddings, Mitzvahs or other social occasions.  Extending the fun even further, the party host receives a downloadable link after the event, so all the photos can be shared online.

We’ve been told YouBooth was the hit of La Venue’s event.  After watching people line up for their chance to shoot – the line for the booth was longer than for the bar! – and seeing the resulting photos, I can sincerely say everyone had a blast.  Their laughter and enjoyment were abundantly real – and infectious.  It shows in the pictures: see for yourself with the entire link!
