Photo Booth Hire in Exeter and Surrounding Areas
Exeter gives you an unusually broad choice of celebrations, from city weddings and university events to country-house receptions just beyond the centre. Our period photo booths fit naturally into that variety because they don't look or feel like standard modern event equipment.
If you're looking for photo booth hire in Exeter, you can choose an experience with genuine character of its own, while our southwest base in Lyme Regis keeps us well placed for events across Exeter and East Devon.
Weddings and Events in Exeter
Exeter has some outstanding wedding settings.
Rockbeare Manor, just outside the city, offers an elegant country-house setting, while Exeter Castle provides something very different in the city itself. The Devon Hotel combines established hospitality with dedicated wedding and event spaces.
That variety is exactly why we don't treat every booking the same way.
In a country-house setting, the Vintage Photo Booth can complement the architecture and interiors. At a larger evening reception, the booth can become an informal meeting point where different groups of guests naturally come together.
University Balls, Graduations and Exeter Events
University events have been part of what we do for decades, and that experience has shaped the way we approach them today. We've learnt that a university ball, graduation celebration or society event needs more than a photo booth that simply looks good when it arrives.
Large numbers of guests need to be able to discover and enjoy the experience naturally throughout the evening. There may be formal dinners, speeches, entertainment, dancing and carefully planned timings already competing for attention, so the booth needs to complement the event rather than interrupt it.
Over the years, that experience has helped us understand when guests are most likely to use the booth, how to keep the experience flowing and why something visually unusual can make such a difference at a large university event.
Our period booths are particularly suited to formal balls and celebrations because the equipment itself becomes part of the evening. The Vintage Photo Booth’s genuine 1910 camera, converted HMV television and gramophone give guests something they probably haven't encountered at another university event, while the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth offers a self-operated experience that groups can return to throughout the evening.
Whether you're organising a university ball, society celebration, graduation event, college dinner or staff function in Exeter, talk to us about the venue, guest numbers and timetable. Decades of university-event experience mean we can help you think about more than simply where to put the camera.
Making Your Exeter celebration Memorable
Good event entertainment shouldn't demand everybody's attention at the same time.
Our period booths work because guests can discover them for themselves. Someone takes a photograph with their partner, comes back later with friends and then gets persuaded into another one with colleagues or family.
The equipment creates curiosity too. An original camera, old television, gramophone or apparently ordinary grandfather clock gives people something to investigate before anybody has even posed for a photograph.
By the end of the evening, you have a collection of moments to treasure that happened away from the formal photographs, speeches and dance floor.
Choosing a Photo Booth for Your Exeter Venue
The right choice can depend as much on the venue as the event.
Our Vintage Photo Booth is built around a genuine 1910 obscura camera. Guests see their images through a converted HMV television before the finished photographs appear through a gramophone, so the equipment itself becomes part of the entertainment.
Alternatively, our Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth transforms a genuine Victorian grandfather clock into a photo booth that guests can use themselves without requiring a dedicated booth host throughout the event.

If you're unsure, tell us your Exeter venue and what kind of celebration you're planning. We'll help you narrow it down.
Planning Your Exeter Photo Booth
Once the venue and timings are known, we can plan around the event rather than asking the event to accommodate us.
We'll consider when guests arrive, when the room changes from dinner to evening entertainment, where people naturally gather and when we can access the venue for setup.
For larger university or corporate events, guest numbers and the programme for the evening become particularly important.
That preparation means the booth can be ready when you want it and become part of the event without creating another job for you on the day.
