A wedding in a historic country house, a company awards evening, a milestone birthday or a school leavers' celebration can all bring people together in different ways.
Our period photo booths give guests something enjoyable to share, combining genuine antique equipment with modern photography and printed photographs they can take home.
From Liverpool's hotels and event spaces to celebrations across the Wirral, Sefton, Knowsley and St Helens, we can help you choose a photographic experience that complements your venue and the occasion.
Whether you're bringing together a large group of colleagues or celebrating with family and friends, we'll help you find a photo booth that suits your plans.

Our Period Photo Booth Experiences
Our photo booths offer different ways for guests to enjoy photography, with genuine period equipment forming part of the entertainment.
The Antique Grandfather Clock Photo Booth is particularly appealing when you want something guests can discover for themselves. A genuine Victorian grandfather clock conceals a working photo booth, creating a delightful surprise when people realise what is hidden inside.
It can be enjoyed throughout the event without requiring a dedicated booth host to remain alongside it, allowing guests to return for photographs whenever they wish.
For a more prominent photographic experience, our Vintage Photo Booth combines an original 1910 camera with a converted HMV television and gramophone.
The equipment becomes part of the attraction, encouraging guests to gather, discover how it works and enjoy photographs together.
For themed birthdays, parties and celebrations inspired by more recent decades, our Through the Decades Photo Booth brings a colourful alternative drawing on the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s.
You can also explore our wider Photo Booth Hire range to compare the different experiences.
If you're unsure which booth would suit your event, tell us about your venue, the occasion and approximate guest numbers. We'll help you decide.
Weddings at Historic Merseyside Venues
Merseyside offers some beautiful historic settings for weddings, including substantial country houses and traditional venues where the surroundings contribute to the occasion.
Knowsley Hall, near Prescot, is one example. Set within extensive private parkland, this historic stately home offers exclusive-use weddings, with elegant reception rooms, gardens and accommodation for guests.
Its wedding facilities can accommodate up to 132 guests for a seated celebration.
Rainhill Hall, near St Helens, provides another setting. Dating from 1824, this Grade II listed manor house combines historic architecture with wedding facilities accommodating celebrations of up to 180 guests.
For a venue such as Knowsley Hall, the Grandfather Clock Photo Booth could complement the traditional interiors while giving guests something entertaining to discover.
Alternatively, the Vintage Booth can become a more prominent photographic feature, particularly during the reception or evening celebration.
The choice depends on the room, the number of guests and how you want the booth to fit alongside the other activities.
Once you've chosen your venue, we can help you consider the available space and practical arrangements before deciding which experience will work best.
Family Parties, Anniversaries and Milestone Birthdays
Some of the photographs people treasure most are taken when family and friends have gathered for an occasion they have been looking forward to.
A milestone birthday might bring together relatives from different generations, while an anniversary can reunite friends who haven't celebrated together for years.
Our photo booths give people the opportunity to take photographs together without needing to organise everyone for a formal picture.
Guests can enjoy the booth in their own time, return with different groups and take home printed photographs from the celebration.
We've also provided photo booths for gatherings in people's homes, so the experience isn't limited to large venues or formal occasions.
For a themed birthday, the Through the Decades Booth might be particularly enjoyable. For a more traditional gathering, the Grandfather Clock or Vintage Booth can provide a different experience.
We can help you choose whichever feels right for the people you're bringing together.
Company Parties, Awards Nights and Business Celebrations
An annual company celebration can be one of the few occasions when colleagues from different teams, offices and departments spend time together away from work.
Our period photo booths provide a shared activity that guests can enjoy without requiring everyone to participate at the same time.
For an awards evening, photographs can be taken during the drinks reception or after the presentations, giving colleagues an opportunity to celebrate together.
At a company Christmas party, the booth can become part of the evening entertainment, with groups returning for photographs as the celebration develops.
For client events or business anniversaries, the original period equipment can provide an engaging talking point alongside the photographic experience.
We also have experience providing more than one photographic setup during the same event when the expected attendance and brief have required it.
If you're organising a larger celebration, tell us about the programme, venue and approximate guest numbers. We can help you consider the arrangements and whether one booth will provide sufficient capacity.
School Proms, Leavers' Parties and Graduation Celebrations
A school prom, sixth-form leavers' celebration or graduation party is an opportunity for friends to enjoy an occasion together before moving on to the next stage of their lives.
Our period photo booths give students something enjoyable to share, with printed photographs they can keep long after the celebration.
Whether you're organising a sixth-form celebration at Merchant Taylors' School in Crosby, a school prom at Calday Grange Grammar School on the Wirral or an event elsewhere in Merseyside, we'd love to hear what you have planned.
We can help organisers from both independent and state schools choose a suitable booth, taking account of the venue, age group, guest numbers and timetable.
Merseyside's universities also bring together substantial student communities for graduations, formal dinners, society events and end-of-year celebrations.
Liverpool Hope University, the University of Liverpool and Liverpool John Moores University all provide opportunities for student celebrations and graduation parties.
We bring decades of experience providing photographic entertainment for university audiences, including larger events where groups of friends may want photographs in quick succession.
If you're organising a graduation celebration, school prom or university ball, tell us about the occasion and we'll help you choose an experience your guests can enjoy together.
Photo Booth Hire in Merseyside
Preparing for Your Merseyside Venue
The arrangements for bringing a photo booth into a city hotel can differ from those of a country house, private home or dedicated event venue.
Larger hotels and function spaces may have particular delivery entrances, unloading arrangements and times when suppliers can access the building.
Historic venues can have their own requirements, particularly where equipment needs to be moved through traditional interiors or between different rooms.
For events on the Wirral or elsewhere across the Mersey, it is also useful to establish the exact venue location when planning the journey and arrival time.
Once your venue is confirmed, please send us the address, event date and approximate number of guests.
If you already have information about access or setup arrangements, please include that too.
We can then help you consider the most suitable position for the booth and agree the practical details beforehand.
Music for Your Merseyside Celebration
If you're planning a wedding, birthday or company celebration, you might also like to consider how music can complement the different parts of the occasion.
For welcome drinks or an earlier reception, our Vintage Gramophone DJ Hire offers a musical experience using original shellac records and genuine period equipment.
It can be particularly enjoyable where the surroundings or the theme of the celebration lend themselves to music from an earlier era.
When the evening moves towards dancing, the music can take a different direction.
For guests who enjoy the sounds of the 1960s, our Swinging Sixties DJ Hire is one possibility.
Of course, your preferred music may come from several different decades. We can discuss the styles you and your guests enjoy rather than expecting the evening to follow one particular theme.
If you've already arranged your music and simply want one of our period photo booths, that's absolutely fine too.
