Surge in photo booth bookings for Lancashire events

The number of people in Lancashire hiring a photo booth as a form of entertainment for their event has soared, according to recent figures.

Sunshine Events, the UK’s leading event management and equipment hire supplier, has revealed that there has been a 80% increase in photo booth bookings from 2013-2014.

In 2013, the Preston-based firm was inundated with bookings from people organising weddings, corporate events and company Christmas parties at hotels and venues and wanted to hire a fun photo booth for their guests.

However, the 'Fun Experts' have noticed that there has been a big surge in interest for the equipment and compared to last year, the number of companies and event organisers choosing to hire them has soared.

James Sandwell, Sunshine events managing director, said: “We pride ourselves on providing an outstanding level of service and as equipment hire specialists, we’re to hand to help make your Lancashire event an unforgettable experience.

“We’ve found over the last year that photo booths have become really popular for weddings, conferences and parties- it seems everyone wants to be snap happy creating fun memories with charismatic and funky props.”

Sunshine Events offer a comprehensive range of photo booths including photo booth with green screen, branding and video booths with props and all are available in a variety of bespoke packages.

The family-run business also offers special photo booths for Christmas and Halloween and other occasions which are proving just as popular. James added: “We only predict that the number of people booking photo booths in 2015 will grow and grow and grow. If you are organising an event and you want to ensure your guests are thoroughly entertained, give them hilarious props to wear and create a personal photo booth to make your event go down a storm.”
