Photo Booth Hire in Leicester
A wedding reception, university ball and company celebration can all call for something different from a photo booth. You might want the photographic equipment to become a feature of the entertainment, or prefer something guests can discover and enjoy in their own time.
Our period photo booths offer both possibilities, using genuine antique equipment alongside modern photographic technology. Guests enjoy taking photographs together and leave with printed pictures from the occasion.
We offer photo booth hire in Leicester for weddings, university balls, company events, school proms, birthdays and private parties, travelling from our main UK operating base in Oxfordshire.
Choosing a Photo Booth for Your Leicester Wedding
The City Rooms and voco Leicester offer contrasting settings, so the most useful starting point is the room being used for the reception, not simply the number of guests invited.
At The City Rooms in central Leicester, the Georgian interiors offer a natural setting for our Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth. Its Grand Ballroom accommodates up to 200 guests for a wedding breakfast or evening reception. If the room is also being used for dining, we can discuss a position for the booth that leaves guests able to reach it once the reception is under way.
The booth is handcrafted from a genuine Victorian grandfather clock, with a camera and interactive touchscreen discreetly incorporated into the antique. Guests can check their pose before taking a photograph and collect the finished print from the clock's base.
The Grandfather Clock needs approximately 1m × 2m of floor space and can be used without a dedicated Photo Booth Host. Those details are useful when discussing a suitable position with the venue, particularly if tables or other entertainment will occupy the room.
At voco Leicester, the combined Foxes and Tigers rooms accommodate civil ceremonies for up to 120 guests, while the hotel also advertises event or wedding capacity of up to 150 - we would plan the photo booth around the actual function room and arrangements you've booked.
Our Vintage Photo Booth could become a feature of the evening entertainment here. Its genuine 1910 obscura camera works alongside a converted HMV television and a gramophone that prints the photographs. Vintage stage lighting on antique tripods adds to the character of the equipment.
For wedding photo booth hire in Leicester, tell us which room you are using and whether the booth will be available during the reception, after dinner or for evening guests. We can then discuss the most suitable equipment and position.
Making Photography Part of a Leicester Ball or Awards Evening
If you're organising a ball associated with the University of Leicester or De Montfort University, the key planning question is how many guests may want photographs during the same part of the evening. We've provided photographic entertainment for university audiences for decades, including large college balls, and can discuss an optional professional Photo Booth Host or more than one photographic experience when the numbers justify it.
For a Leicester company awards dinner or staff party, tell us when the presentations finish and where guests will gather afterwards. The booth can offer colleagues a sociable activity during the less formal part of the event, with printed photographs to take away.
School Celebrations, Birthdays and Parties
For school proms and leavers' celebrations, a photo booth gives friends an opportunity to enjoy group photographs and leave with printed keepsakes from an important evening.
We welcome enquiries from parents, school staff and event organisers associated with Leicester Grammar School in Great Glen, The City of Leicester College in Evington and other schools serving the area.
The choice of booth can depend on the number of students, the available space and how the photography fits alongside the other entertainment.
For a milestone birthday or family anniversary, guests may prefer something they can return to throughout the celebration. The Grandfather Clock offers a self-operated experience, while the Vintage Photo Booth makes the historic photographic equipment a more visible part of the occasion.
If you're planning a themed party inspired by the 1960s, 1970s or 1980s, our Through the Decades Photo Booth offers another approach.
