We had the pleasure of working with Shawn for our wedding, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience! From the moment we first contacted him, he was incredibly professional, responsive, and took the time to understand our musical tastes and the vibe we wanted to create for our special day.
Shawn did an amazing job reading the room and keeping the energy up all night. The dance floor was packed from the very first song to the last — he truly knew how to play the right music at the right moment to get everyone up and dancing. Our guests couldn’t stop commenting on how great our DJ was!
Shawn and his team also brought along a photobooth which was a HUGE hit!!! From start to finish, they made the entire process so easy and fun. The team was professional, friendly, and brought such great energy to our event. The photobooth itself was a huge hit with our guests — everyone had a blast taking silly and heartfelt photos all night long.
The quality of the photos was amazing, and we loved how customizable everything was. From fun props to personalized photo strips with our wedding date, every detail was taken care of. Plus, they created our wedding guestbook from the photos which is amazing and so much fun to look through and relive the day!
DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BOOK SHAWN FOR YOUR NEXT EVENT!! He is such a fun guy to work with and makes things so easy! He has a very convenient program to help you pick your songs and itinerary! He is so great about being involved in your planning process and is super quick to respond to any questions/concerns. On the day of the wedding we had some last minute changes and it was no problem for him to make adjustments! I’m so happy we found him to make our special day even more fun and groovy!!
WOW! Just, WOW! Working with Shawn and his incredible team for both the classic photo booth and DJ services for our December wedding was such a wonderful experience, from beginning to end and beyond! All of our guests were blown away by the level of care and attention given to the photobooth setup, props, and guest book, and Shawn kept us on the dance floor rocking all night! Shawn also helped us out when I came to him with a photo strip idea for our save the dates, put together a beautiful logo for us for our wedding day photo strips, and was so awesome to work with on our wedding day playlist and timeline! Big shout out to Allie and Carter for helping our guests with the photo booth as well! My husband and I, and my bonus kids, are big photobooth fans - we seek them out whenever we can, so incorporating the photobooth and providing photostrips to guests as part of our favors was just perfect. Shawn and his lovely wife Carolyn went above and beyond for us so many times, we simply don't know how to express our appreciation with enough words. They are truly wonderful people who care deeply for their clients and their success and happiness, and it SHOWS! We have continued to tell them that we want to do it all over again, because they were instrumental in making our day PERFECT and having a hell of a lot of fun in the process!
We had a blast with Boardwalk Entertainment at our wedding reception this past weekend! The team was friendly, accommodating, and provided us with a wonderful photo booth album at the end of the evening, which was a huge highlight! We loved looking through all the photos in the book the next day. Quick and easy communication leading up to the event and customized photo strip design that matched our wedding theme. Could not have been more pleased!!!
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!
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.
I highly recommend choosing Boardwalk Photo Booth Company for your reception! They had everything set up and ready to go early, were polite, fun, and professional! The booth was great and we had a whole table cram in for a group photo. We chose one of their newer booths because our reception was at a location which did not have an elevator to accommodate the other kind, but it worked out wonderfully! I loved looking through our photo album that they made for us during the reception. We also enjoyed the added benefit of our guests being able to view the photos online after. Shawn and his wife were a great addition to our wedding team :)
Boardwalk was amazing!! My guests are still talking about their photos and how much fun it was! I didn't have a formal guest book for my guests to sign because our photo album with all the pictures and messages were so much better! Getting to look back and see all our guests pictures and the fun they had made our hearts so happy! Having Boardwalk apart of our wedding helped save all the amazing memories from our day! They are wonderful to work with and we are so thankful for them!
I hired Boardwalk Photo Booth for my daughter's wedding to provide both the photo booth and the DJ. Shawn Cox is the owner, as well as the DJ. His service for both aspects was great! The photo booth was a hit with all the guests. Shawn was outstanding as a DJ. He took time to meet with us and preplan the music agenda. He was communicative in the days leading to the event and he provided DJ services the day of the event that were just as we had hoped. I would highly recommend Shawn as your next DJ and grab the photo booth, as well, for a fun accessory to your special event.
We absolutely LOVED Boardwalk! Shawn was so easy going and easy to work with!!! Our guests LOVED him and the booth!!!! It was easy to book-no hidden fees-which was FABULOUS!!! and we got so many compliments on the booth...the day after our wedding, we had so many guests tell us how much fun they had with the photobooth! The props were amazing and we can't say enough good things about Shawn and Boardwalk!!!! The best part was getting copies of everyone's photos in a BEAUTIFUL guest book....it was INCREDIBLE!!!!!
Thank you again, Shawn-you were spectacular!!!!!!
Absolutely loved loved loved having Sean and Carolyn provide the photo booth at our wedding! They were EXTREMELY easy and fun to work with. We loved the photo strip design that Sean came up with, the props that came in our package, and the fact that their booth offers both color and black and white photo strip options. Our guests loved having something fun like this at the wedding, and we loved the photos as our guestbook. We only wish we made sure to spend more time in the booth!
Wow - they were amazing! Shawn and his wife did the personalized photo booth at my daughter's wedding and our guests had so much fun! Guests spent hours using the props to take memorable pictures. They could keep a copy and a copy went into a keepsake album for Michelle & Christian. Shawn and his wife even took the time to use blue and peach ribbons from the reception to decorate the last page of the keepsake album. It really added a special touch. They were so much fun and definitely added a festive tone to the reception. They were so easy to work with and I would highly recommend them to others!
We hired Shawn to be our wedding DJ after attending another wedding that he provided entertainment for. As a wedding photographer, I experience DJ's every weekend of my life, and Shawn is one of the best by far that I've ever had the pleasure of working with (and having as my own wedding DJ!). He is professional, attentive, and incredibly skilled and knowledgeable about what he does. Of all the possible things I worried about regarding my wedding day, the music/entertainment was never one of them. Shawn provided everything I needed to have a memorable ceremony and reception, and our guests could not stop raving about all the fun they had! Thank you, Shawn, for being the best wedding DJ ever and for making our day better than we could have dreamed. We would hire you again in a heartbeat!!! Best decision ever!
Boardwalk Photo Booth Company really is the best ever! I feel so lucky that they were available for my wedding! Not only is Shawn awesome, patient, and very easy to work with, he is very detail-oriented. They are worth every penny, and the scrapbook is such a fun keepsake! The props are fantastic! Everyone at the wedding had a blast in the photo booth, and most of our guests visited 3+ times. There was a line like you would normally see for amusement park rides! This was one of the best, and most fun and memorable, things that we could have had at our wedding. So glad we did this!
Shawn and his Boardwalk Photo Booth team were amazing to work with. We have wanted to write a review for several months now, but with my father waiting for a heart transplant and having to stay in the hospital for long periods of time, it has been hard. Although he is still waiting, we didn’t want to miss the opportunity to say how amazing it was to work with Shawn. From the first consolation to the wedding reception Shawn was very professional, flexible, a good listener, and worked with us each step of the way. If you’re looking for a photo booth company that has an owner that does this part time and works out of their minivan, Boardwalk isn’t for you. But if you’re looking for someone who does this full time, has a store front, marked vans, great looking vintage photo booths, unbelievable props, custom made photo booth signage, scrapbook guest book, and photo strips, look no further. The scrapbook guest book with the crazy pictures and guest comments will be a cherished keepsake for years to come. There are a lot of companies out there and we talked with many of them. The bottom line is, do you want to pay less or get the best. We would proudly recommend Boardwalk Photo Booth to anyone.
Shawn Cox... Uhhhhhhhhhmazing! He provided DJ and MC services for us and I was overwhelmed by the amazing service he provided us from our first meeting to even a follow up email after our wedding. My husband was a little leery about using a DJ just because he loves live music, but our first face to face meeting with Shawn with his amazing personality at his amazing office full of photobooths, arcade games, and 80s memorabilia had my husband sold ;-). Shawn even provided us a detailed questionnaire for our big day so he could get the feel of what music we liked and all the timeline details plus introductions (it made the day of flawless). Our ceremony and reception was set up to be inside at the same venue (Shawn was providing music for both) and a week before our wedding I called him to let him know we were switching our ceremony to the outdoor spot.... he had already figured out indoor setup, but let me know not to worry he would have everything figured out before the big day and it was a huge relief on our part. He was just so accommodating and relaxed it was a breath of fresh air during crunch time. Services provided during the ceremony and reception were OUTSTANDING!!! Perfect volume and set up for the music during the ceremony and perfect MCing and music choices during the reception! He was so fun, he kept the dance floor hoppin and was willing to stay as long as we wanted! We definitely, absolutely, recommend him for your big day :-)
Fantastic. My wedding was in Moseley, VA but Boardwalk caught my eye because of the design of the photo booth. There are so many cheap companies that put up a curtain and call it a photo booth. Boardwalk is so much more than that. Shawn is wonderful and easy to work with. They customize the sign on the booth and on the photo strip as part of the package. They provided the props and there was a nice variety all of which were clean (at a couple bridal shows I saw photo booth props that made me squirm and sanitize). I am so glad we decided to do a photo booth for our wedding and specifically I am so thankful I found Boardwalk. I love the guestbook with all of the strips from the wedding, and I also love that you can access all of the photos online. Highly recommend and highly pleased!
So I typically don't fill these things out but I felt it was my duty to do so experiencing how EXPENSIVE WEDDINGS ARE these days! I'm very passionate about music and wanted a live band for our wedding but My Wife felt it best not to do so. We went with a band for cocktail hour and Boardwalk Photo Booth for the DJ/Announcer. He nailed. We talked briefly about how I wanted the music to go and what could/couldn't be played and the genre of music we love and he nailed it the entire time. Never a dull moment and he even got the people that never move to get out of their chairs to0 "bust a move"! If you are in need of a DJ, check him out. He has Photo Booths, old school arcade games, and more. We had 180 at our wedding and I’d say 160 danced the majority of the time. Great company with great service!
They are worth the price. My guest loved this, and I love the photobook they put together for us. This was one of the most enjoyed parts of my wedding, and all of my guests used it. They were professional and gave us a high quality product.
Shawn was our DJ for our wedding on 11/21/15 @ the Williamsburg Winery. He was AWESOME! My husband and I met Shawn a few months before the wedding and we instantly knew he was the DJ for us. He has such a fun and laid back personality. Shawn was great about checking up on us throughout the planning process and even emailed us some homework to make sure everything was ready to go for the big day.
The day of the wedding arrived and everything went off without a hitch! Shawn was so well organized and the flow of music throughout the entire night was great. One of my fears was that the dance floor would be empty and Shawn made sure that did not happen! He played a great variety of music that had everyone out on the dance floor for the entire night. My dad was even out on the floor and I've never seen him dance! My husband and I have been married for a little over a week now and we are still getting compliments from our guests on how much fun they had at our wedding. We definitely have Shawn to thank for that. I would recommend Shawn for anyone in need of DJ services - he is absolutely incredible. Thank you Shawn for making our day so awesome! :)
Boardwalk Photo Booth Company was simply FANTASTIC! Shawn was the best to work with and we had such a blast with him at the wedding. Not only was planning our music and photo booth options fun but so simple and easy. Boardwalk has the latest technology which offered our guests options to send their photos electronically right there on the spot. We highly recommend Boardwalk Photo Booth for all your event needs. We couldn't have wished for such an awesome photo booth or crazy fun DJ! Thank you Shawn and staff for a fabulously wonderful night!!!
What can I say about DJ Shawn Cox...
He simply is THE MAN. I was wowed with his delivery at my best friend's wedding about three years ago and knew right away he was exactly who I wanted when my big day rolled around. Already overwhelmed with the joys that wedding planning brings, I felt a wave of relief after meeting with Shawn to go over our vision for the reception. Right off the bat I could tell he was passionate about what he does and was genuinely interested and excited to hear our details and preferences. He offered great insight and tips when we had questions and went above and beyond to make our wedding so special and uniquely our own. He went out of his way to help with our ceremony music, and even compiled the perfect montage for the Daughter-Father dance when I sent him crazy requests, and it was PERFECT. Shawn exudes an incredibly refreshing blend of both laid-back and get-down-to-business attitude that made him an absolute joy to work with. He was accountable, dependable, prompt, goofy, real, and made sure that everybody had an amazing, memorable time. If you are looking for world class DJ services, Shawn Cox with Boardwalk Photo Booth Company is your man!! Thanks Shawn!!
My wife and I used Boardwalk Photo Booth Company for our wedding last summer and we were very pleased with our experience. First of all Shawn, the owner of the company, is great to work with. He is very friendly and responds immediately to emails/phone calls. He also spent time designing a logo specific for our wedding theme that was used for both the photo booth sign and our scrapbook. It is obvious that Shawn cares and is passionate about his job. Courtney and Drew who worked the photo booth the day of the wedding were also very professional and fun. The photo booth itself was a huge hit (especially with my nephew who probably accounted for ½ of the pictures in our scrapbook). Finally, we love the scrapbook we got from the photo booth. It looks nice and it’s a fun way to relive the memories of our special day. In my opinion, it’s a lot more fun looking at photos of our friends and family wearing costumes and making silly faces than looking at “traditional” wedding albums. It just seemed to capture the spirit of the day and the way we remembered it more accurately.
As the mother of the bride for our daughter’s June 2015 wedding, we helped the bride and groom plan the reception. Being a retired 28 year Air Force family, we had moved 14 times over the years, so all those moves brought many of our loved ones from the four corners of America. We wanted a DJ and Photo Booth company to create an event that would bring all of these people together on the dance floor…we all wanted to dance the night away celebrating Kayla and Dean! Shawn Cox was our DJ for the night and we cannot say enough. The evening was purposefully spread out so that the important events of the night (cake, toasts, garter, special dances) were all spread out without feeling like it was planned. Shawn captured the guests and we are elated to have pictures of our guests dancing with people they had never met before! The photo booth pictures and album turned out amazing…and your staff running the booth were so friendly and professional…it was a hit as we kept seeing the lines and laughing friends and family going back for seconds, that was a fun part of the night. Shawn, have a true talent at keeping your crowd engaged. The photo booth staff worked so hard in making sure all the guests had a great time, and even made sure our senior guests were able to get in and out of the photo booth while laughing away! It was a great touch presenting the bride and groom with an album of all the photo booth photos. We laughed at how many of our guests were taking photos with people they had just met for the first time! We have been to weddings where the bride and groom were disappointed that their pre arranged play list was not used and the night was not “theirs.” Thank you for making the night perfect. We talked about how we never felt rushed and that the spacing of announcing each event during the night was perfectly spaced out even down to the last song. You have a gift Shawn, anyone who contracts with you will be so pleased.
DEFINITELY WORTH IT! Our guests loved this photo booth at our winter wedding at the Half Moone in Norfolk, VA. Super affordable and Shawn Cox knew how to make our guests comfortable to take as many pics as they wanted! Receiving our photo book at the end was icing on the cake.
Shawn, Carolyn and there team were absolutely more amazing than I ever could have imagined! Their service and dedication to making my wedding amazing was more than I could have asked for! Planning my wedding as my fiancé was deployed for 9 months, I was a mess and they made the process of booking their company a breeze! As I ran across various wedding planning hiccups, the Boardwalk Photo Booth Team was more than accommodating in our partnership and planning. As for their execution the night of the wedding, to say they made my night is truly an understatement. They continued to be an amazing service provider. As a freak series of snow storms hit the week leading up to the big day, Boardwalk still transitioned all of their equipment up icy stairs and ramps to make sure I had the wedding of my dreams. They treated all of my family and friends with the upmost respect, including those in attendance of my wedding with special needs. Their professionalism throughout the entire planning process will never be beat in my eyes. I will continue to use Boardwalk for any big events I hold as well as continue to recommend them to all of my friends and family who will be holding events as well. I'm truly thankful for Shawn and Carolyn and their team for assisting in creating the night of my dreams.
Boardwalk Photo Booth and DJ Shawn Cox - a package deal that made our wedding complete. When we were thinking about who to hire for our wedding, Shawn was recommended to us by two separate people, and we could not be more thankful! We had already emailed Shawn about a photo booth, and set up a meeting with him. We knew immediately that we wanted to hire him, he is laid back and easy to talk with. He listened to all the things we didn't want - a cheesy, game show host calling out line dances, and promised us the opposite. And he did MORE than deliver. Our wedding dance floor was never empty, and he was able to satisfy all our guests with a variety of music that didn't dull our eardrums. He mixed in EDM for my husband, some classic Hip-hop and emo hits from the 90's for us both, country for the relatives, and current popular songs for the whole lot. He was funny, and interpreted my "looks" amazingly! If you are lucky enough to be one of the few weddings he does each year - consider yourself BLESSED!
We also loved our Photo Booth, Shawn made sure it stayed busy all night and our guest book with all the pictures is still making us laugh! Great package pricing, and a wonderful addition for all our guests! We may be biased, but Boardwalk was the best!
Shawn was absolutely wonderful to work with from start to finish. My (now) husband and I were planning our wedding remotely from San Francisco, and Shawn was not only responsive, helpful, and professional, but also very personable which made him a pleasure to work with. He really gave us the confidence we needed in selecting a vendor for our wedding. Everyone at the wedding loved the photo booth, and our scrapbook was awesome to look at the next day! In fact, we have a friend getting married in Utah in September who told us they now have decided to get a photobooth for their wedding since they just absolutely loved ours! Shawn and his wife really provide the best service and run a great company! Thank you Shawn :)
I have gone to 2 weddings who used Boardwalk Photo Booth Company and both were a GREAT time! The props added some creativity to the photo sessions, so that took our FUN to a whole new level!
Honestly, using the photo booth was the best decision we made! Everyone LOVED it, and we were able to capture great moments with and of our guests. As a bride it is very easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle of your wedding day, so having the photo booth pictures was a great way to see all of the guests in action. The best part was that my guests were absolutely in AWE over the costume options and they literally could not get enough. The company makes you a personalized book with your photo strips from the night and your guests can also write messages in it! It is such a wonderful keepsake. Shawn, the owner, is one of the most helpful people I worked with, and he is also very nice. To sum it all up- DO IT! IT'S WORTH EVERY PENNY!
for my November wedding I knew I wanted something fun and different for my guests to do. I work in the hospitality industry and feel like there is nothing worse then a party where the guests are just milling about uncomfortably! Carolyn and Shawn were so wonderful and flexible with helping us organize our photo booth for our special day. When the day finally arrived it was a breeze. Boardwalk took care of everything and the booth was beautiful. Our guests had even more fun then we could have ever planned! Boardwalks selection of props and is so varied and random and fun, there is something for everyone. Also as the night goes on and things get a little blurry- it's FANTASTIC to have the guest book to take home and look through with your friends and family! Thank you Shawn and Carolyn for helping bring our party to the next level
Shawn Cox is the owner of Boardwalk Photo Booth Company and he is an AMAZING DJ!! I originally went to him for a photo booth but during our meeting I learned he had been a DJ for several years with another well known company. He was so easy to talk to and he accommodated my requests for my big day! He did a fantastic job keeping all of my guests on the dance floor the whole night! I wish I could relive this night over again solely so I could dance the night away again!!
The photo-booth was such a hit at our wedding. Our guests loved it! It was such a great way to get a wonderful guest book. We loved looking thru all the funny pictures! It was a great addition to our wedding, and it added to Billy and I's personality as well, and the vibe of the wedding. So many of our guest raved about it afterward. I loved it and would highly recommend them.
Shawn and his team were awesome!!! We hired Boardwalk photo booth company for our wedding held 8/30/14 at the Westin Hotel. Shawn and his team were a big help from the 1st day I spoke to him over the phone to meeting in person for a consultation and through out the entire process. He checked in numerous times up until my wedding date! My wedding guest loved the photo booth! It was a huge hit!!! Also, he used our personalized logo with no problems at all!! I highly recommend you hiring Shawn and his team! Thanks again Shawn! My husband and high appreciate your professionalism!
They were absolutely wonderful both during the planning process of our wedding and the day of our wedding. Everyone at the wedding absolutely loved them and I'm very happy with everything they did for us. We used their photo strips as our favors for our guests couldn't have been happier. I highly recommend them for any wedding.
We used The Boardwalk Photo Booth Company for our first daughter’s wedding and they were the first vendor we booked for the second daughter’s wedding. Carolyn and Katie were awesome! They were extremely professional and very personable. Everyone had such a good time…there was always a line of guests waiting to use the photo booth, but they never rushed anyone and made sure every guest felt special.
This time we used magnets for the photo strips as favors and Shawn was very helpful in answering questions we had concerning the photo strip sizes. As always, the scrapbook was one of the favorite mementos from the wedding. It was so much fun to see our guests having such a good time. We can’t say enough good things about this company and we certainly will be using them again!
