Mark gave us so many fun photo booth options to choose from, but we ultimately went with the Allure Digital Photo Kiosk, and it ended up being one of the biggest hits of the entire night. Our guests were constantly gathered around it taking photos, videos, and creating memories all evening long. Even now, looking back through all of those videos and pictures is one of our favorite ways to relive our wedding day. If you're debating whether to add one to your wedding, do it—and definitely work with Mark. It was worth every penny.

We are so glad we chose Shining Star Photo Booth! From the very beginning, I was set on having a Photo Booth as our guest book, but my fiancé at the time was a little unsure. Now that we have had our wedding, my husband is so glad we did it! The Photo Booth gave us so many amazing memories with our friends and family. We have so many laughs looking back at the photos and seeing moments we completely missed during the wedding. It was such a fun way to capture everyone’s personalities and the joy of the night. The person working the Photo Booth was absolutely wonderful! She was fun, upbeat, and did such a great job encouraging everyone to have a great time. The guest book Shining Star creates is incredible. You receive a copy of every photo in the guest book, and on top of that, they print an extra copy of every photo that you and/or your husband are in. It is such a special keepsake that we will treasure for years to come. Book Shining Star Photo Booth! They are easy to work with, bring so much fun to your wedding, and you will not regret the laughs and memories you get to look back on for years to come. Reynolds & Strous Wedding The Bond | 7.11.26

We used Shining Star Photo Booth for our wedding at Excelsior in Lancaster on October 25th, and they were absolutely fantastic! They were so easy to work with from start to finish....

I only spoke with them twice—once to book and once to choose our photo strip background—and that was all it took. No fuss, no back-and-forth, just a truly seamless experience. I also really appreciated that there were no credit card fees, unlike so many other wedding vendors. The setup was smooth, the booth was a huge hit, and our guests had an absolute blast. Highly recommend!

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Shining Star Photo Booth! We decided to add a Photo Booth pretty late in the game, only about 7 weeks before our wedding. The owner,...

Mark, was very responsive and we were able to select the setup that worked best for us very quickly. I sent Mark the graphics, fonts, and designs we were using on our program and favors and he was able to send me a proof a week before the wedding for approval. The design for our photo strips matched our other signage and print items perfectly so everything was cohesive. Everyone at our wedding had such a great time in the Photo Booth and our attendant, Brittany, was fantastic. She kept the vibe fun for guests as they took their photos. The photo strips are great quality and make for a great extra favor for guests. I loved being able to look at the online album and see all of the photos; a great way to see the moments we missed!

I was looking for a Photo Booth vendor in Gettysburg, PA for my wedding, and Mark and his team came through! There were many different vendors that I was searching for but Mark at ...

Shining Star was definitely the most flexible and easiest to work with which I appreciated. We communicated through email and he sent reminders throughout the process which was very helpful to keep me on track, as I was planning out the whole wedding on my own. What I really enjoyed was that I was able to customize the photo booth design strip with my own artwork and Mark was able to have this as the template on the day of the wedding. The Photo Booth was a big hit, I wish I had enough time during the day of the wedding so my husband and I could use it more! If you are on the fence on booking a photo booth for your wedding, I would highly recommend it! Especially with the Guest Book service since it is a nice keepsake and can see the photos of how much your friends enjoyed the wedding.

I booked Shining Star Photo Booth for my tea ceremony in August. From the get-go, I knew I was in good hands. Mark Reed was an absolute delight to coordinate with. You knew right a...

way that you're dealing with a real person who cares about their company's reputation and delivering stellar service. It was super easy to book, select a backdrop and services, etc. Mark followed up with me regularly as the big date drew closer and mocked up a preview of our strips for the big day. He incorporated our invitations and made sure it was exactly how we wanted it. On the day of, we worked with a lovely lady named Carrie Mosley. If anyone has been to a tea ceremony before... you know it's chaos. Most wedding events are mass chaos but these can be overwhelming. By the time I arrived for setup, Carrie was already there and mostly done, smiling and relaxed, ready to go. It was the BEST decision ever to have Shining Star Photo Booth at my event - now I have a collection of hilarious and adorable photos to look back on forever. There was a minor hiccup in the process but Mark went above and beyond to make things more than right. Thank you guys so much for an amazing day!!!
