Planning A Pergola Party Photo Booth Event New opportunities bring with them new things to learn. To help you get the most from your event with a Pergola Party Photo Booth, Pergola has prepared a 30-minute review of ways to get the most from its terrific Party Photobooth entertainment. We have also written a short article that shows how a Pergola Party Booth is not just an activity but a theatre set. Please contact us for a copy of the article or to arrange an orientation seminar - we can do it by phone; we can also work with Event Planner training programmes. Both are complimentary. Seminar Topics Planning The impact of Lighting    You would be surprised how much heat 500 dancers generate! An open-topped photobooth is cooler. Bright sunlight - from a sky-light at noon - can cause the prints to wash out unless the booth has a diffuser on top - such as offered by Pergola Party Booths Metal booths have no such lighting problem. On the other hand, they are cramped, can only take a small number of guests and lack the lavish appeal of soft-side booths. As for heat - shall we talk about solar ovens? Photobooth Placement    Ceiling height [Hotel style areas should be at least 10 feet high; pubs will be lower] Walls - Any fragile paintings/hand painted wall papers? Floors - level, flat & smooth Obstructions - There are ALL SORTS of obstructions As a group, they are a problem for booth assembly and for traffic flow! Pergola can access almost ANY placement - but your guests can't Ceilings - anything under 2 meters is a no-no because some of the GUESTS  are taller than that! Fire exits - MUST not block these for obvious reasons! Kitchen access - MUST not block these for OTHER obvious reasons! Windows - a type of obstruction + a light control issue Doors - Like Windows another type of obstruction + a light control issue Mirrors - fragile and + a light control issue Other topics: → The role of props → Power needs → PAT stickers → Traffic flow - Didn't Tina Turner ask "What's props got to do with it"? → Insurance [the guests will be drinking] → Be be inclusive not exclusionary! Issues of handicapped access and safety. Ramps to add elevation if needed for children. → Colour Scheme and Party Theme  Sometimes, the creativity of a Pergola Party Photobooth drives the thinking for a party theme.  Here are just a few ideas: Toga party - with a Greek Temple Photobooth Middle Ages - with a Medieval Squires Tent Photobooth Costume party Dragon Boat - with our Chinese Silk Classic Photobooth or even a Pagoda Photobooth Back to School Luau - with a Beach Hut Photobooth Motown Highland Fling - Pick Your Plaid Photobooth Around the World in 80 days balloon Bollywood Hollywood - 3-Up Prints with film sprockets and director's chairs Corporate Elegant Black & White → Issues unique to Marquees Clean power Fuel for generators Dry Warm Floor must be solid, FLAT and level Floor joints at exit points and areas where joints connect with other floors [loos] It does rain in the UK - access/umbrellas/mud/wind! On the Day -Table for drinks [no glass or food in the booth!] -Coordinate with the wait staff so that this gets cleared frequently! -Rubbish bin -Spills happen - towels, kitchen roll, dust pan and broom Follow through -CDs/DvDs of the images -Extra copies for guests -Creative things to do with the images on the day and thereafter    Click to see just a few ideas -If you are happy with the result, please say so!  A thank you note is always appreciated! -Any problems? What do we need to learn for the next time?
