The Wedding 360 Photo Booth Playbook

Weddings are the highest-value bookings in the booth business — and the least forgiving. Here's the placement, timing, and settings playbook for receptions.

Placement and timing

• Where: near the dance floor's energy but out of the DJ's speaker throw and the caterers' path. Guests in formalwear won't cross a dark parking lot for a spin.
• When: open right after dinner speeches, peak from first dance until cake. Budget ~2 minutes per group; a 3-hour window covers a 100-guest reception comfortably.
• Lighting: receptions are dim. Bring your own LED tube or ring — see why in the slow-motion guide — and use BoothLab's built-in flash option for extra fill.

Settings that flatter formalwear

1. 1080p @ 240 fps: dresses and suits in slow motion are the entire aesthetic; resolution can give a stop to frame rate here.
2. 8-second spins with slow-mo from second 1 to 4 — enough for a champagne raise and a twirl.
3. Reverse effect on: the boomerang ending reads as celebratory, and guests repost it more.

Wedding-specific branding

Build the preset before the event: an overlay with the couple's names and date in the invitation's typeface, an intro card matching the stationery, an outro with the wedding hashtag, and their first-dance song as the MP3 track. Every video guests share that night becomes a favor, a thank-you card, and an ad for your booth at once. Full how-to in the branding guide.

Delivery the couple will remember

Guests get their clips instantly by QR code; the couple gets the complete Dropbox or Google Drive gallery link before the send-off. Same-night delivery is the single most repeated line in operator reviews — make it your signature.
