Ashley’s Bride Guide featured Photo Booth Nashville for a vendor spotlight recently! Here’s some of the wisdom garnered. And check out our own PBN spotlight here!
What makes Photo Booth Nashville different from the others out there?
Quite simply, the biggest difference between our patented model 12 booths and other booths is that when you sit down in one of our booths, it feels like a photo booth. No wood, no pipe and drape, and no consumer grade cameras or printers. Our prints are done with dye sublimation printers – the same printers that professional photo developers use. Photos deliver in just 10 seconds, so our clients get many more sittings in an event than other providers, in some cases twice as many. That said, what really sets us apart is our dedication to providing the best service possible. From our sales people to our delivery personnel and attendants, we only hire the most professional, outgoing, and courteous employees. When considering the best company to hire for an event, clients should also be aware of where their Photobooths are coming from. We book dozens of last-minute rentals each year because an out-of-town company cancels an engagement with little or no notice. We’ve always got a spare photo booth on our truck so that in the very unlikely event of an equipment problem, it never affects our service.
How do you keep on top of the trends/technological developments in the industry?
Because we’re the only middle Tennessee photo booth company that belongs to the International Photo booth Association (www.americasphotoboothassociation.com), we’re a part of a large network that is constantly working together to improve our products and share ideas to make the photo booth experience we provide second-to-none. Many other providers build their Photobooths in their garages so they simply don’t have the benefit of collective research & development and product support that we do.
What should couples ask before booking a photo booth company? Any things to be aware of?
Especially in today’s economy, pricing is very important. We encourage potential clients to ask lots of questions about what is included in their rental. Is their advertised price inclusive of scrapbook, attendant, and high resolution digital copies of the photos from their event? Many companies advertise a low price then gouge clients as the event approaches with expensive add-ons. Almost every company advertises unlimited prints like we do, but it’s important to ask about sitting times. Unlimited prints won’t mean much if each sitting takes 4 or 5 minutes. Other questions should include quality of digital copies included (some companies provide only low resolution digital copies and up-sell for print quality discs), what city their booths originate from, and how many booths they own (make sure they have a back-up in the event of equipment failure). Ask what their booths are made out of – ours are all-steel construction and weigh over 800 lbs. In other words, the size of the check you write is important, but the old adage “you get what you pay for” definitely applies for Photo booth rentals. We like to say you can serve McDonald’s hamburgers at your reception and save a lot of money on catering, but you’ll be serving your guests McDonald’s hamburgers.
