Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 93)

Live, love, laugh Create a memorable wedding with these top entertainers  Weddings can be very long events and many couples misunderstand how vital entertainment is when it comes to keeping guests entertained. Many leave the search until the last minute, resulting in fewer options to pick from and some lovebirds are left disappointed. Finding the right company can add to the atmosphere and create everlasting memories with loved ones. We’ve gathered top entertainments from around the counties to help couples find the perfect match for their special day. SAY CHEESE For those looking to guarantee memorable wedding receptions, it’s well worth considering another form of evening entertainment alongside music like a photobooth, casino or something completely different. Epic Photobooths looks after weddings across Hampshire and beyond, offering a range of styles with versatile options for truly bespoke experiences. The company launched in 2015 and is now recommended by several wedding venues. Owner Michelle Holding and her team have recently added to their handmade rustic open-style photobooths, and lovebirds can now choose from natural wood, shabby-chic white or black finishes. The Rustic Photobooth can be teamed with a decorative backdrop to complement a colour theme selected for guests to pose in front of or, for more of a party vibe, an inflatable LED enclosure offers built-in LED lighting and the privacy of an enclosed experience. June 2022 saw the introduction of the inflatable curved wall as an alternative backdrop. This golden masterpiece is suited to larger event spaces and captures full-body photos at a showstopping four metres wide. It’s perfect for teaming up with additional set-props such as a velvet chaise longue or a pair of thrones – the sky is the limit! Last but not least is the black and silver inflatable camera-shaped photobooth with a circular entrance door. Finally, this year also sees the introduction of new ranges of props. Choose from either rustic prop signs teamed with Hawaiian leis to match any colour theme or fun props; think police hats, hand-held signs, novelty glasses or a mixture of both. The team believe that at least one host should always man a photobooth. So, whichever photobooth and prop combination is chosen, pairs will be joined on the night by a friendly team member who will encourage guests to join in. The Managed Guestbook service includes a second staff member who will fill a luxury photo guestbook with a copy of every print from the night as a lovely keepsake. For those looking for on-trend wedding favour ideas, the staff offers keyrings that allow guests to have their favourite image from the night inserted. The other side of the keyring would be personalised with the couple’s names and wedding date.
