Smile Photo Booth

en more happy. Matt was always responsive and friendly in the planning and negotiating. He was a clear communicator and was committed to making sure he understood what we wanted. Day of, he showed up on time, got set up and was ready to go without issue. Was dressed casually, but that was 100% fine with me. He was friendly and social with my guests. Helped out with staging photos and doing extra prints for people. It was one of the highlights and both the booth and Matt have been repeatedly brought up by attendees as being great. In speaking to my Wedding Coordinator and other vendors, everyone was happy and would reccomend him unreservedly. I am shocked by the poor reviews he has gotten. I cannot speak to the DJ services since we didn't ask for that, but we would have hired him for that too if we knew then what we know now.

otobooth services. The photobooth was great, no complaints there. The DJ however, was a complete catastrophe. We originally spoke with Matt and booked his services in mid March. Matt specifically mentioned that he will be the one working our event (this is important for later). The Wednesday before the wedding we had an hour conversation with Matt about details. A few important points: - We provided a detailed ceremony outline including where/what the DJ should play. We also sent recordings of each of these pieces. - Our first dance was to an original composition mixed with another song. Originally, we thought Matt would fade between the two, but on the call it became apparent we should provide a copy of the song with transition built in (which we promised to do and did). - We requested 3 non typical songs: a german song, where we specifically mentioned both song and artist, and two traditional jewish songs where we sent YouTube links. Matt said he has many sources and will find versions of all. - The ceremony was planned for 4pm and Matt asked if setup at 1pm would be ok. So what happens on the day of the wedding: - Around 1:45pm we call Matt to ask what’s going on. His response, “I’m just running a little late, be there in a bit” (Please notice the first person pronoun) - Around 2pm Jay shows up. Who is Jay you ask? Good question! Jay is “a friend of Matt’s” (Jay’s words exactly). Matt has other events and will be stopping by later (Matt never came to our event). - Jay didn’t have any of the detailed instructions we sent Matt. Instead he had some disorganized notes. This means that as guests were already starting to arrive, we had to spend about a half our repeating what was discussed with Matt just 3 days earlier! - For our first dance song, Jay had the wrong song cued up. Luckily we caught this in the preparations. On top of that, Jay used this recording for his sound check, although the song was supposed to be a surprise. One would expect a bit more sense from a wedding DJ. Given that though, we knew the song worked just fine on the system, yet when it actually came time for the first dance, it took Jay 3 tries to get the song playing at a volume that anybody could hear! - Remember the “sources” Matt mentioned? The German song was by the wrong artist! The two traditional jewish songs…Jay simply played the YouTube links we sent. - We had sent an additional list of songs we wished to be included by the DJ. While this list with audio files was on Jay’s computer, he had no idea about it and we had to look through the computer with him and point it out. - We discussed what/when the DJ should announce certain things. However, the way Jay set up the speakers, you couldn’t hear anything unless you were on the dance floor…so his announcements were useless and it was left up to us. - There was about a 30 minute pause in the dancing program for dessert. During this time we had to twice tell Jay not to play our special requests during the break when nobody was around to hear them. One would think this is common sense. We don’t want to be too hard on Jay, he was thrown into a shitty situation. Matt’s handling of this was 100% unprofessional, disrespectful, and disingenuous. Our warning is: don’t book these guys, you have no idea what you’re going to get!

ed by the owner. Pictures were over exposed and he didn't do anything but just pushed the button. When we notified Matt the owner he wasn't willing to make it right, he just made excuses and then told us he had a business to run. Not professional at all I would definitely not waste your money here.

wish was different was the photo booth didn't have a screen inside so you can check your pose or make sure everyone is in the picture. Overall, it was definitely worth the price! We would use them again!
