Who says that a wedding can't be fun? Sure, we know that there will be the solemn portions where everything will take a serious turn and you will be saying important words to your fiance. But we also know that there will be a reception after all of the serious parts where you will more than likely have a band playing some kicking music and then your guests will mosey out onto the dance floor and enjoy some physical activity as well. But we have another idea for you. There is a trendy option available to you that will take everyone's experience at your wedding into the stratosphere. Have you ever considered renting a photo booth for your wedding. What an added attraction. We can promise you that you will never regret this decision as all of your guests have an absolute blast using it. But before you make any final decisions on who to rent your photo booth from, there are some things that you will want to find out in order to make the best decision you possibly can for you and your guests. So, wherever you go around the Charleston area in search of a photo booth, make sure that you have a copy of this guide with you, it will help you focus in on what is important and in determining the best possibly photo booth for your wedding day.

Your first step is to find some photo booth providers to check out. One of the best ways that you can accomplish this is by word of mouth. Check with your family, friends, or coworkers to see if they have ever experienced a photo booth at a wedding or at any event for that matter. If they had a great experience with it, try and track down the provider. You can also ask some of your other wedding vendors that you have already hired if they know of any reputable providers. Of course a third avenue is to do a Google search for “photo booths in Charleston area.” You should be able to peruse the websites of photo booth providers from this list. Once you have a number of companies that you would like to check out, contact each one and ask for a date and time that you could meet with them to talk about the possibility of renting a photo booth for your wedding.

One of the things that you want to see is a proven record that their customers have been satisfied with their service and with the photo booth itself. With this in mind, have them show you testimonials and we also recommend that you ask for references that you can call and talk to. If they tell you they have none to give you, this is a major red flag. Ask them if they provide props with their photo booths and ask to see samples. You also want to make sure that the prints from the photo booth will be of a high quality. One great feature that many people really like is a guest book where guests can take a copy of their photo strip and glue it into a book while writing something next to it. What does the photo booth look like? We recommend that you do not hire anyone before you see the photo booth live and in person. This protects you because a picture can look very different than what actually shows up at your wedding. Make sure that the vendor will provide unlimited photos.

You need to be sure that the vendor has insurance. You never know what can go wrong. And truly, this is the sign of a true professional. If the booth stops working, what is the backup plan? Does the vendor charge by the hour or by the number of people that will be using the booth? They should have some package deals to show you. And make sure that all costs are in the bottom line quoted price you are given. The last thing you need is to get hit with added fees just before you are to pay. Now it is time to compare all of the providers and make your decision on who is going to provide you with a photo booth.
