Over the past couple of years, photo booths have gained popularity at wedding receptions. It provides great entertainment for the guests and also gives them a unique and memorable souvenir. As much as it is fun and entertaining for the guests, it may tend to draw the attention away from other entertainment such as the DJ. See below for some tips that will help your guests enjoy both types of entertainment.
Location is the key to making both the DJ and photo booth work. If you will be having a photo booth try your best to keep the photo booth in the same room as the dance floor. This will prevent the crowd from being split up and leaving the dance floor empty. If you have the DJ and the photo booth in the same room your guests will be able to enjoy both types of entertainment.
Timing may also be a factor. You may want the photo booth there only during cocktails and the first half of the reception or you may want it set up for most of the night. If it will be set up for most of the night make sure you co-ordinate with your DJ so that he is aware and will be able to keep the crowd dancing and enjoying accordingly.
If you find your guests are lining up at the photo booth and it’s clearing out the dance floor, suggest that your DJ make an announcement about the timings of the photo booth. This will encourage your guests to go back to the dance floor, while ensuring they will have plenty of time to have a turn at the photo booth.
You should make sure you speak with your DJ to make sure he has a good playlist and is able to read the crowd to make sure your guests are being entertained. The DJ’s focus should not be to keep the dance floor packed all night, instead to make sure the crowd is enjoying the music and having a good time. It can be very difficult to keep a dance floor full at a wedding for a number of reasons. This however does not necessarily mean that your guests are not enjoying themselves. If the music is good you may find your guests dancing everywhere.
Your guests will definitely love the idea of a photo booth, just make sure you co-ordinate everything accordingly to ensure your other entertainment is not left hanging because the photo booth is taking away all of their attention.
