Boardwalk Entertainment

Seriously one of the best decisions we made!!! We had so many guests compliment it and say how much fun they had in the photo booth. I believe it adds such a fun, unique experience to the day for you and your guests! I also LOVE the guest book we were sent home with, AND being able to have access to photos and download them from the computer. I couldn’t recommend them enough. They are also so professional, helpful, and F. U. N. !!!

We hired boardwalk for our wedding reception. There was a deal for uplighting and photo booth which was affordable compared to most places. Shawn is awesome and really works with you. He replies quickly and is fun to work with. Would absolutely recommend boardwalk to anyone!

The most talented DJ around. Shawn really knows how to get guests out of their seats! Shawn is extremely professional with a fun vibe! That’s all I needed to know after we met with him. He takes pride in what he does and pays close attention to detail. I loved how we met with him a couple days before our wedding day to go over the song choices that we selected. Shawn suggested a final dance for the bride and groom. At the time, we had no idea what that even was and sharing those final moments of our wedding night was our favorite memory and we have Shawn to thank for it. If you’re on the fence with choosing your DJ, look no further. Shawn is your guy.

Shawn was absolutely perfect for our big wedding day. He was very flexible and really works well with the couple’s music interests. Received many complements of the DJ after the celebration.

Book this photo booth now! Wish we could give them more stars. Shawn was extremely easy to communicate with and right on time for set up. All of our wedding guests had a blast with the props and were happy to be able to take home copies of their photos. We absolutely love that we received copies of every photo and the wedding guest book Shawn facilitated for us is something we will cherish forever!

We are so glad we used Boardwalk Photo Booth for my daughter's wedding. Everything about the experience was great. Shawn was very responsive and helpful during planning. We had an old-fashioned photo booth at the wedding along with a bunch of fun props. Shawn and Carolyn were on site helping everyone. They put together a nice album with copies of the photos, gave everyone prints on the spot, and provided website access to all the photos and video gifs which were so fun to watch. We couldn't have had a better experience.

Shawn is what we call a professional! We have friends and family still talking about how great he was!! From the initial meeting to finalizing the music list and details, Shawn was ON IT! By the way, the photo booth was a guest favorite, as well. His experience shows long before he gets to your event, and I suggest looking no further for your music and photo booth needs. One last thing, he knows how to have FUN!!

My fiancé and I came across Boardwalk Photo Booth Company while attending The Virginia Peninsula Foodbank's "Tastefully Yours" event in 2018. There is something about the nostalgia of sitting in an actual photo booth that makes events so enjoyable. The quality of the photoprints, ease of use, and friendly booth attendants provided at great experience. One of the few things I knew I wanted at my wedding reception was a photobooth, so when the time arrived in 2020, Boardwalk was my first stop. Shawn was a joy to work with and a true professional. His timely communication, warm demeanor, and amazing customer service allowed for easy wedding planning. Having to re-schedule wedding plans due to COVID was not easy, but Shawn worked with us to ensure things moved along smoothly and was flexible to our needs. Guests really enjoyed our Photo booth. I would recommend Boardwalk Photo Booth Company to anyone looking for A+ quality service. We plan to use them at any future events we have.

I have been to several events with photo booth vendors which are always fun but Shawn with Boardwalk Photo Booth really takes this service to the next level. They offer several packages to choose from depending on the size of your event and all the hats, glasses & props you can think of! Shawn and his staff provided their open air photo booth to our event 300 miles away. The guests loved capturing the fun and taking a unique memento home! Shawn not only personalized the props and printouts for our event but also helped the guests pose properly while simultaneously organizing a memory book for the family to take home. We are so glad we made the choice to include Boardwalk Photo Booth in our special day! Thanks for everything Shawn. YOU ROCK!!

Working with Shawn was absolutely phenomenal. He was flexible with our timeline, even up to making changes the morning of our wedding! He was professional & very personable. We put together a list of songs we loved but wanted a DJ that could read the crowd and Shawn did exactly that. We would absolutely hire him again & highly recommend him to all future couples!

Shawn was our wedding DJ at our Chrysler Museum Wedding. He played a huge role in making our wedding one of the best day's ever. All of our guests have indicated that our wedding was one of their favorites, and I think a big part of that is because of Shawn. He knew how to sense the vibe of the crowd to make the party amazing. Following dinner, he had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. Shawn was very personable and did a great job as MC for the night.

Shawn was simply amazing! He brought the party to life and all of our guests at our wedding LOVED the PhotoBooth. I couldn’t have imagined our wedding without Shawn and the Boardwalk PhotoBooth Company! I would recommend this company to anyone who is thinking about having a PhotoBooth for their wedding. I’ve attended a lot of weddings and never experienced anything like I did with this company! Thank you Shawn for everything!

Best DJ ever! One of the most important things about your wedding is the music and Shawn was ON POINT! He did everything exactly how I wanted it from start to finish and made the whole wedding flow seamlessly. I would highly recommend him if you want professionalism and perfection.

As a fellow wedding vendor, we loved working with Shawn and his team on a wedding this past November. He communicated with us throughout the night to ensure we were prepared for each moment and he kept people on the dance floor, with is so important for us so that we can capture the best reception photos. A vendor team that works well together is SO important. We loved working with him and hope to work with him again in the future!

We were very pleased with Boardwalk Photo and Carolyn Celeste weddings for our daughter’s wedding. Shawn and Carolyn Cox are so kind, prepared, and professional. Their regular communication with us throughout the planning was excellent! I cannot say enough about these two. I have recommended them to several people and will continue to do so! Thank you, Shawn and Carolyn!🥰

ENERGY, FLOW, and FUN! Shawn provided his services at my son's wedding and it was fantastic. His vast array of music had something for everyone, as he mixed the old with the new with an "Energy" that did not leave the room. His ability to "Flow" from the traditional first dance to cake cutting to the final send-off was done with unforced ease. He is truly a Pro! The Photo Booth is a must. What "Fun"! The Photo Booth was a big hit with our guests and provided each with a fun keepsake to remember the day. Get Shawn booked before he's unavailable. You will be so glad you did.

We hired Shawn to DJ our wedding and we did not regret it! We ended up having a micro wedding that had to end 1.5 hours earlier then planed due to Covid restrictions and our only regret was that we didn't have longer to enjoy ourselves and more of our friends and family couldn't be there to enjoy the fun atmosphere Shawn provided. We had pretty specific requests for music while guest arrived for the ceremony and Shawn was awesome about accommodating every request we made and also great about some last minute changes to the ceremony due to an unexpected request by the officiant. We enjoyed our experience with Shawn from start to finish. Thank you Shawn!!

We hired Shawn and his wife to do a photo booth for a Labor Day celebration at the Cape Hatteras KOA, and they knocked it out of the park! I can't say enough good things about them. Not only did they manage to pull everything together in a short amount of time, but they were also very easy to communicate with, professional, very personable, and just fun people to have at an event! Hire them , you won't regret it!

We had an amazing wedding experience! The photo booth was awesome and so cool with custom details to make the experience extra jazzy! We also loved our photo guest book, it was so neat and a great memory piece. Our guests absolutely loved it! The staff were so helpful and friendly! Also Shawn is an amazing DJ! He helped us through the process and carried out our dream song playlist! We had so many compliments on Shawn’s DJ skills and how the night flowed so perfectly! He did a fabulous job with his announcements and also with the wedding party entrance! Shawn’s business is the best out there, the only thing that makes it even better is the special combo of teaming with his wife, Carolyn, for wedding coordinating/planning. All star team!!! You’ll want the whole package!

AMAZING! This company is so professional, and our guests loved doing the photobooth! Emails were responded to very quickly, and I was kept updated and informed every step of the way. We will be recommending this company to everyone.

If you're looking for a DJ for your wedding, look no further. Shawn was such a pleasure to work with - we knew from our first sit down meeting that we were going to have a blast! Our dance floor was packed all night! The photo booth was also a huge hit at the wedding. Everyone loved being able to goof off and take home a picture, but we loved the guest book that was made from these photo strips! It was so much fun to go back and look through after the wedding. The props were awesome and the photos are very high quality! Shawn, Carolyn, and Lindsay are the best and you will not regret having them at your wedding!!

We hired Boardwalk Photo Booth Company for DJ services, lighting and the photo booth at our wedding and could not have asked for a better company. Not only was Shawn super professional but he was the absolute most attentive DJ I have ever seen at an event and a BLAST to work with. At one point in the middle of the reception we wanted specialty lighting so we could take pictures and he made that happen on the spot. Everyone had so much fun with the music and photo booth! We will cherish the photo book they made for us of all our guests. I would highly recommend Boardwalk Photo Booth Company to anyone looking for these services!!

One of the best decisions of our wedding! We hired Boardwalk Photo Booth Company and specifically Shawn to DJ our wedding and provide a custom photobooth and uplighting package to our event. My husband and I did not look any further than our first meeting with Shawn - we immediately knew he was the guy who would make our wedding the most memorable to not only us but to our guests. Shawn was available, responsive and detailed in the months leading up to the wedding - always available to answer a quick question or provide guidance or advice. There was not a moment when we did not trust his years of expertise, ability to pull off either the most common or most unique ask - and he delivered at every opportunity. The priorities for our wedding were food and music. Shawn kept everyone on the dance floor literally the entire night. The music was on point to our taste and never once wavered from what we described to him. The most frequent comment we receive from our guests has been "we wish we could have danced into the night!". Being a very detailed kind of guy, I gave Shawn a lot of special requests, notes, and timing related to music - he incorporated every detail and made my vision come to life. Our photo booth and the photo printouts were customized with our wedding logo from our invitations as part of our package, and the service provided by the attendants was outstanding. Our guests appreciated an activity at the wedding which also helped create our guest book! I will also add that not only music and dancing-related, but his technology for producing the actual ceremony (sound, lighting, microphones) is top notch. You have all been to weddings where you could not hear what anyone was saying - don't let your wedding be one of them! If you are reading this review looking for a DJ or PhotoBooth services (I, of course, recommend both), contact Boardwalk and look no further. Also, if you are looking for a natural synergy with wedding planning and coordination, his wife Carolyn and her Carolyn Celeste Weddings is the perfect combination. What better way to produce the wedding of your dreams with a husband/wife duo that can make the night shine so seamlessly. They are truly rockstar status. Without a doubt, the best in this region. Call them now!

Boardwalk gave us the most wonderful experience ever. It was more than just amazing music personalized for us, wicked lighting for the party atmosphere, and awesome MC work, which needs to be noted. They truly went above and beyond to help me, as a bride, find a meaningful song to make me feel like my late Father was walking me down the aisle day, making my wedding day one to remember. This is the service that makes the difference.

You are the BEST DJ Sean! You made our music so much more than music! There are certain things your guest take home from your wedding and your music was one of them! All great reviews!! Thank you sooooo much! “And I’m gonna keep on loving you” “I can’t fight this feeling any longer...” ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

We used Boardwalk at our daughter’s wedding this past weekend. We had never hired photo booth entertainment before and did not know what to expect. It was AWESOME! From our first meeting with Shawn we we very impressed. He really is open and accommodating of any requests, he was able to match the eucalyptus design in our table numbers to the design at the bottom of the pictures. I think the folks tending the booth were busy from cocktails thru the send off. Everyone, little kids, older folks and all in between has a Blast with the props and endless combinations. We could not be more pleased with the whole experience.

Shawn and Carolyn have been so helpful through the entire planning process. We are thrilled to have the photo booth and have a book to take home at the end of the night. Shawn keeps the party going with phenomenal music and Carolyn has helped us with planning since the beginning. They really are a "one-stop-shop" when it comes to weddings! They are AWESOME!!

Our guests absolutely loved the photo booth!!! I liked the idea of having a more traditional enclosed booth and this one definitely lived up to my expectations. Shawn was super friendly and easy to work with. He designed a fantastic custom logo for our photos. The quality of the photo prints was excellent and the fact that they post them all to the web is a big plus! Lastly, the album they make of your photos from throughout the event is really special. Our experience was excellent and I’d recommend their services to anyone!

Every aspect working with Boardwalk PhotoBooth Company was 5 star. From the beginning of the booking process to designing the custom photo strips for our event, working with Shawn was an absolute pleasure. He was always available for questions and advice and made this process a dream! Boardwalk's Photo Booth is top notch! When you book with Boardwalk, you get a top of the line photo booth with well maintained props and such friendly staff. Kathy & Shawn were absolute delights on the wedding night. Professional, friendly and had all of our guests having a great time! Kathy went above and beyond customizing our guest book which is so special to us. You will absolutely not be disappointed booking this killer team. Thank you!

I hired Boardwalk Photo Booth Company for my son's wedding. From the owner to the booth attendees at the wedding, they were all very attentive to our needs. Shawn and his team always communicated in a timely manner from the beginning with our interest to the day of with final details. The wedding had over 250 guests and all the guests enjoyed their experience and interactions in and around the booth. The booth was a great addition to the evening and the quality of photos impressive. The wide range of photo props provided everyone an opportunity to smile! Highly Recommend!

We hired Shawn to DJ our wedding at Half Moone in Norfolk, VA. From the first consultation, we knew Shawn was legit. He walked us through the entire process and made us feel at ease. Boardwalk has THE BEST photo booths in the Hampton Roads area. So many custom options to choose from. Shawn's DJ and lighting equipment are top notch as well. He demonstrated each and even texted us pictures of the different colors the lights can do. Between the custom lights, photo booth, and awesome DJ equipment, I don't think you can do much better in this area. Prices are very reasonable considering the quality and professionalism of this company. Shawn is very thorough. He called us the night before the event to make sure he got names and timing correct. We gave him a playlist of songs and he created the playlist. The "guest book" photo album is a great keepsake; we find ourselves going back to it all the time when we want to "relive" our wedding. Bottom line: you can't wrong with Boardwalk Photo Booth Company and Shawn.

They gave our guests a true photo booth experience, and everybody loved it! I really love that everything was included in pricing, there was nothing extra for the props, or multiple copies of the photos. Also loved the customization strip—our guests are able to take home more than a plain photo strip. The team that comes out are so helpful and interact with the guests and does a beautiful job putting the book together for us to look back on. I would highly recommend Boardwalk photo booth to anyone planning a wedding or any event for that matter!

They were amazing!!!! Everyone loved the photos and had a blast taking them. They were wonderful because they gave your guest copies and then put a copy in the book for you. I love looking through them now. This team was professional, organized and tons of fun! I would HIGHLY recommend them to everyone for weddings and any other event.

Loved the photo booth! Your staff were very personable and they helped to add that extra level of fun to the reception. Everyone loved the props, and the photo album was such a great memento to have. Thank you!

This is our second time working with Shawn at Boardwalk Photo Booth Company and both times it was amazing. The first time was for our younger daughter’s wedding at the Newport News City Center Marriott in July 2015 and the second time was for older daughter’s wedding at the Chrysler Museum of Art in July 2018. If you’re looking for a professional first class photo booth company this is it. Here’s the bottom line, you can hire the best or someone from the rest. I do a lot of research before making a decision like this and both time we were more then happy with Boardwalk.

Shawn and the Boardwalk Photo Booth Company were wonderful to work with! Incorporating the theme of our wedding into the photo print outs to having a completed photo album at the end of the night, everything was perfect. It was a great hit with the kids too! My husband and I have a large family, and the photo booth provided endless entertainment for kids and adults alike! You will not be disappointed with Boardwalk Photo Booth!

I could not be MORE happy with Shawn and the Boardwalk Photo Booth Company. Shawn made the photo booth at our wedding so much fun, and the guest book that he helped create is something that my husband and I will be looking at for years!! If you’re on the fence about getting a photo booth for your wedding, definitely check out Boardwalk!!! They are the best!! Thanks for everything!!

Couldn’t have been happier with the Photobooth at our wedding. Shawn was great to work with, and I would definitely recommend Boardwalk for any occasion.

Boardwalk was so fantastic, both my husband and I are leaving reviews! The one thing that we definitely wanted at our wedding was a photo booth, and that is how we found Boardwalk! Their photo booth is fantastic and so much fun! They bring their own props, and create a photo strip guest book for you throughout the night! We decided to have magnetic photo strip frames as our wedding favors, and Shawn not only recommended a quality company to purchase the frames, but he also created a custom message insert for our gifts! Now onto the music. Everything was perfect from ceremony through reception. Shawn kept our guests dancing all night, and worked seemlessly with our venue to make sure the night ran smoothly. Also, they are reasonably priced!!! I cannot recommend Boardwalk enough.

If you are looking for a professional, highly experienced, fun DJ to get your guests on the dance floor, look no further! Boardwalk Entertainment is the BEST and I cannot recommend them enough! We absolutely adored working with Shawn and Carolyn. Shawn was our DJ and Carolyn (and team) worked the photo booth. They went above and beyond for our wedding and were so incredibly kind and easy to work with. Shawn knew exactly what to play to keep guests dancing all night long. The photo booth was a huge hit as well! I LOVED the design they put on the outside of the booth and on the bottom of the photo strips. The design perfectly matched our invitations, and it was such a sweet and thoughtful touch. You can tell Shawn and Carolyn work so hard to give each of their clients a personalized and unique experience. The beautiful album of photo strips and messages from our guests was our guest book, and our guests took a strip of photos home as their favor. The props were SO FUN and we all had such a blast taking pictures! Boardwalk made sure our family and friends were happy and entertained all night long, and we are so thankful for them!

They were so amazing at my husband and I's big day! They made it so easy with planning and even created a custom logo for our wedding! One of my favorite parts of their package they offer is the keepsake album with all the pictures the guest took and the little messages they wrote. It's something I can look at for years to come and always love. Thank you guys so much for all that you did for our day!

Shawn Cox brought all of his own, professional, quality equipment on site. I literally did not even have to rent a linen to cover his table. He was on time and ready to go long before guests arrived. As a professional musician, I really was impressed with how he read the room, kept people on the dance floor, interacted appropriately with guests. Hands down, wonderful.

Shawn was amazing! Super down to earth and really grasped the theme and feel of our laid back Sandbridge wedding. He made contact with us before the big day to hammer out all the details and had everyone dancing ALL night. I think he played every song we requested!

Boardwalk Photo Booth Company was one of the best decisions we made when planning our wedding! We were searching for a photo booth after taking a break on our DJ search when we stumbled upon Boardwalk Photo Booth Company on The Knot. After reading a few reviews, I knew that we had struck gold. Not only did ALL the reviews sound like the photo booths were a hit, but the owner was also a DJ?! Thinking it was too good to be true, my (now husband :) ) fiance and I met with Shawn about 4 months before our wedding date. He was so personable and friendly! We chatted in his comfortable and professional office and immediately knew that we had found what we had been looking for. Fast forward to the week before our wedding, he called just to check in to see how we were doing and to ask if there was anything else we wanted him to do other than the initial play list/agenda we had sent him previously. He then gave us a run down of what everything would look and sound like at our reception and made sure he was pronouncing every name correctly. My fiance and I hung up the phone both saying, "How thoughtful?!" The day of our wedding could not have been more magical. Having Shawn and his sweet wife, Carolyn, at our reception just felt right. Shawn played everything we asked for along with very popular requests from our guests. We appreciated the little details of the fun music he played to go along with our bouquet/boyquet toss and cake cutting. Carolyn was so lovely every time we popped by the photo booth and we heard(and keep hearing) compliments about how amazing the entire experience was. To put it simply, Boardwalk Photo Booth Company is professional and passionate about what they do. Shawn and Carolyn have perfected the DJ+Photo Booth combo. If you're asking what you're going to do for either or both your DJ and Photo Booth needs---I highly recommend both!---Congratulations on finding your answer. Shawn and Carolyn, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping to make July 14, 2018 such a magical day for us. --Katie and Brett M.

Shawn and Boardwalk Photo Booth Company are awesome !! We love our photo booth scrapbook with all of our guests photos inside! Shawn was great to work with and made our big day so fun for us and our guests!

A guest favorite! The hit of the wedding, no lie! The album we have to look back on makes me tear up every time! Shawn designed a perfect logo and had a ton of props for the guests to use. He was great with guests and told us where to look with every single pose. I had originally thought about going with another company but I am sooo glad I didn't. Boardwalk was such a great addition to our perfect day.

We used Boardwalk Photo Booth at our wedding just over a week ago. My husband really wanted one at our wedding, and I am so glad he insisted. Shawn was our point-of-contact during payment and leading up to our event. He even created customized signs and artwork for the photo strips that matched our event details. The employees who worked our event were kind, funny, and so helpful. I have been to so many weddings over the years, and many photo booths are run by people who clearly do not want to be there, or who offer no help while taking photos. This company is professional and so easy to work with. They will also take the photo strips and help your guests create a guest book for you. Ours turned out lovely, and we can see where they filled in cute phrases and key words to fill it up more, and they even took parts of our wedding program to decorate a back page with photo strips of my hubby and me. I highly recommend this company. Thank you, Boardwalk!

Everything went absolutely great! The photo booth/ DJ combo was the perfect combination for our special day. They make the best team ever and I would recommend anyone who is looking for a great time at their wedding!

We are so happy with how everything went- As a bride you want a responsive vendor and they were everything you could want in a vendor! Would certainly recommend Boardwalk!

We hired Shawn to DJ our wedding and he was absolutely phenomenal! We had a blast and have heard the same from everyone else. Many commented on how great he was. He did a mash-up for our first song as we asked and made an on-the-spot adjustment to it (as we also asked), which was perfect. He kept the party going the whole time. His mix of songs, the order he played them, and the way he played them was masterful. He was involved on the mic exactly the right amount. The photo booth was a great addition and made a fun and memorable guest book. He was a pleasure to work with and I would certainly recommend him and Boardwalk Photo Booth Company for any event.

Hired Shawn and Carolyn for our wedding which was the best decision ever. We were initially considering a band but we realized that getting the package deal of Shawn and Carolyn was the way to go. Highly recommend getting both of them if you want the perfect wedding. Shawn was very classy and had everyone on the dance floor the entire night. His choice of music and fund of knowledge in that regard was perfect. Carolyn was incredibly sweet, organized and classy. Everyone loved interacting with both of them. Does not get better that having the DJ and coordinator as a package deal and people who enjoy to work together. Would do it all again and again if I could.

We're so glad we got a photo booth! Thinking we were just going to have a small wedding, 70 guests...my husband initially did not feel the need for it. Good thing I talked him into it because it was an amazing touch! My fam loved it, the guests loved it, and it comes with a guest book signage where you can see all the photos of your guests where they write a note! It was so much fun!!! There was all kind of props and they even made a way to get the sequined backdrop I wanted! I'm sure they can add a pic of my husband and I just for kicks cos my hubby was all over the place, he wasn't able to get in there! Just awesome! You won't regret it!

I just want to say how amazing Shawn was as a DJ! We hired him and his lovely wife Carolyn for our wedding ceremony and reception! They did wonderful! Shawn really kept the crowd going! We also did his photo booth too! It was a hit, everyone LOVED it and are still talking about it. From the props to the amazing staff and the scrapbook/guestbook we got to keep with everyone's photos, was one of our favorite things from our wedding. If you are looking for a DJ or photo booth, look no further. Shawn is the best! You'll won't be disappointed!

Boardwalk Photo Booth will make your wedding awesome! Shawn is top notch DJ that will keep your party rocking, while Carolyn at the photobooth will keep your guests very entertained! Highly recommend for your wedding! - DG

My daughter's father and I surprised the couple with the photo booth. This surprise with a hit with the old and young guests. I love how Shawn was able to personalize the booth with the bride and groom's name and invitation theme. The photo strips are so much better as party favors than the boring candles, etc. The customer service was superb. I highly recommend Boardwalk Photo Booth Company to my friends and family because you definitely get what you pay for.
