With A Photo Booth For Parties Long Island Events Are Guaranteed Hits

By Mark Roberts


In years gone by one could find picture kiosks in almost any shopping centre. In those days they were small, curtained booths where one could take a passport picture or even a fun group photo with friends. Over time, these booths disappeared from the scene, to a great degree because people now have cameras even in their cell phones. But these booths have now made a big comeback. With a photo booth for parties Long Island Hosts hope to create memorable events.

While the modern booths are also used to take pictures, the resemblance with the old fashioned kiosks stop there. For one thing, modern booths are not found in shopping malls any longer. Instead, party planners and even coordinators hire them to liven up their occasions. The idea is to introduce an element of fun to an event and since people love taking pictures and having their own pictures taken, the booths are a hit.

Modern booths look nothing that the old versions. These days they are available in a wide variety of colours, sizes and even shapes. Booths can look like castles, monuments, racing cars, space ships and a host of other things. This makes it possible for party planners to choose a model that will not only fit in with their theme, but that can also form an integral part of the decorations.

By utilizing the latest digital photographic technology, these booths produce pictures of very high quality. Guest can take as many pictures as the want, and if they are not happy with some, they can delete them. They can also add captions, frames and other enhancements and they are able to take copies of their pictures home with them. The host is presented with copies of all the pictures taken during the party.

One would think that it would be costly to hire one of these technologically advanced devices. This is certainly not the case, especially if one compare the price of a kiosk with the cost of other forms of entertainment. Hiring a kiosk require no effort from the client. The contractor will deliver and install the kiosk at the desired location and will remove it again afterwards. There is no cleaning up to do either.

To sweeten the deal even further, many contractors also supply their clients with a collection of props that can be used by the guests. This may include costumes, wigs, theatre make up, accessories and other paraphernalia that can only make the entire event more fun. Even planners often even organize competitions to see who can take the funniest or most ridiculous picture. People simply love this play acting.

Picture booths have become immensely popular. They provide a lot of fun, are easy to use and serve as the perfect ice breaker. They are suitable for any occasion, from black tie events, kiddies birthdays to a party for the elderly at a retirement centre. In many cases guests say that the picture kiosk was the highlight of the event and they treasure the pictures that they take home with them.

Some people think that these booths will come and go, just like many other temporary fads. Contractors differ, however, and keep coming up with new designs and ever more advanced technology. The latest models, for example, can even film videos.
