Incredibly unprofessional, thank you for the rude email when I simply stated I was not interested in the photobooth. (After doing my research on competitors in Jersey, I found other photobooths to be priced cheaper and offer the same and/or better quality) Howard, this isn't how you get customers.
We decided to get a photo booth for our wedding the week of, very last minute I know. They were recommended to us by our DJ, and sent us an email right away. After talking, they got everything together for us the same day, which was amazing. There was some miscommunication between our venue and Howard’s team and things were a little rough getting set up the day of the wedding, but once it was figured out everything ran smoothly all night. Everyone was super happy with the experience and pictures that were taken.
I can’t say enough about how great Howard and his team are and the entire photo booth set up !! Everyone at our wedding had an absolute blast taking pictures. The service is incredible and the delivery of all the photos is even better. Howard is a pleasure to work with ! He has so much to offer and will take any ideas or suggestions and bring them to life !!
Planning my wedding I knew I needed a wow factor for the photo booth. I didn’t want just a plain photo booth. Calling everyone from Pennsylvania to New York, no one gave me the wow factor until I spoke to Howard who is based in Colonia, NJ. Howard and I spoke on the phone for over almost an hour for he explained everything I needed to know about his business, and what he does for the perspective customers. We agreed to meet so I can examine his work in real life not just what I see on Facebook or The Knots. I realize he is the real deal and his photo booth would be a winner at my wedding. He had no problem answering my questions, working diligently on the personalized back drop, my personalized cards for guest to retrieve the photos on his website which by the way will be available for a lifetime. He did an amazing job making sure my husband, children and I take pictures together and suggesting fun poses we will always remember. Howard was very sociable with my guest and kept them entertained throughout the night. At the end of the night the personalized backdrop was mine to keep as well as a USB of all the photos of the night. The next day he even texted me to make sure I was satisfied with this services. I can see myself using his photo booth again for future events.
made the event better. efficient, punctual,professional
AMAZING! We are so happy that we got them. Everyone enjoyed it from grown ups to the kids. Loved the we were able to do large group photos which was great. It’s not timed and your photos look great. Attention to detail is amazing. from background and lighting to the envelopes everything is taken care of to make everyone look the for the picture(s). Our guests can’t stop talking about the pictures. If you are looking for non traditional photo booth Step It Up Events is your go to people, you wont regret.
One word: AMAZING! This is not the ordinary photobooth where only 4 people fit in a shot, it’s timed and your photo looks sloppy. The attention to detail is what made us say yes to Step It Up. From the beginning Howard, is throwing out ideas to improve your wedding reception. From background, carpet, and lighting, everything is taken care of to make everyone look their best. We fit groups of 10 in one picture. My guests can’t stop talking about the pictures and are constantly posting all over social media. Do yourself a favor and look no further than Step It Up, you will not regret it!
I had the privilege of working with Howard and his photo technicians long before I was even engaged. I met him at a huge volunteer event that takes places in Conventional Hall is Asbury Park.
From the moment I met Howard and his crew, I knew they were different. Unique. Talented. Fun! They are so good, and such a crowd favorite, that we now have a yearly event with Step It Up as our photo booth. As the years began to pass, I really started to consider Howard a friend of mine.
Long before I was even dating my now husband, I knew Howard and Step It Up would be at my wedding. There was never a doubt about it in my mind. I was finally engaged, and it was time to secure a photo booth. I was immediately on the phone with Howard. He had a wedding the night before mine, and the night after, but he was thankfully available on the night of my wedding! He assured me that he would be there- and he was!
Throughout the planning process, I spoke with Howard periodically about the background, the props, our table cards and the prints. He was so easy-going yet detail oriented. He knew exactly what vibe and look we were going for, and he made it a reality.
When my guests were in the reception and they saw the Step-and-Repeat, they were blown away! They were expecting a traditional photo booth where you are lucky to squeeze more than two people in it. When they saw the red carpet, the lights, and the beautiful backdrop, they felt like celebrities! Howard is and was so great at making sure you are centered in the frame, that all 17 of you and your friends are in the shot, and that everyone is looking! He and his assistant made sure that everyone received a 4x6 copy of the picture, and helped you upload it any and all social media outlets, or text/email it out.
Howard has created something so different. So unique. So fun! It is always such a hit. Working with Howard is as easy as it gets. He is good at what he does, and he delivers an amazing end result. I cannot speak highly enough of Howard and his crew. They always Step It Up!!
Howard and his team from Step It Up did a great job designing the custom banner and staffing the photo booth at our rehearsal dinner!
This was no "ordinary" photo booth like you see at other weddings or events, where they give out little tiny printed pictures.
This photo booth had to be 8 feet high by 10 feet long and we chose to have Howard design a custom banner (what we used to call a back-drop) for all the photos, based on samples of other work Howard showed me. The result was stunning, nice, big, highly personalized digital shots that they could print out and give immediately to our guests (using any of 6 different filters!) or email / post if they preferred - right there! The future bride, groom and everyone in attendance were excited and happy! Having this at our rehearsal dinner really helped to make it a fun event for all in attendance.
Found out about step it up events at a family wedding and the next day I contacted them for my sons wedding. It was perfect, I received so many compliments about them. Would definitely recommend them and I will definitely use them again.
I CANNOT say enough about Howard! If you are looking for a fun and unique event idea, Howard is your guy. I first met him and his awesome photo booth at my aunts wedding. At that moment I knew we needed him for mine and my husbands wedding. He is real and doesn't hide anything from you. Which meant a lot because being able to trust my vendors was a huge thing for me. We would have the BEST phone conversations and I never hung up feeling as though my questions were not answered. Howard was the only vendor I had a close connection with. He cares so much about his business and delivers some amazing pictures. This photo booth isn't just your typical booth, Howard delivers high quality actual photos you can put into a frame. My husband's grandmother left with a stack of pictures for her home. His attention to detail is INSANE! For our backdrop he created this killer monogram with a Zelda sward through the center of it. It wasn't tacky and looked "elegant" which was great and fit our theme. You will not regret hiring him and the best part is that he isn't overly priced. This type of photo booth also captured some crazy photos our photographer couldn't capture. I thought about it as having two different photographers at our wedding. I also loved how Howard pulled my husband and I aside for five minutes and took "Mr and Mrs" shots of us. Doing that was supper fun and meant a lot because due to the time restrictions we were unable to capture certain pictures I really wanted of the both us. So, being able to take some pictures of us in the photo booth made me so happy and we were able to take those pictures home that day. I have them framed and on display and whenever I look at them they just make my heart happy. Like I stated earlier, you will not regret choosing Howard or his team. They work hard to keep the lines short and the energy high! Thank you so much for making our day so special :) I will be using this photo booth again for my future parties.
Howard and his team did a fabulous job at our wedding this past weekend! The quality of their photobooth and pictures are amazing and unlike the average booth you find in other weddings. Our guests loved it! Howard was so helpful throughout the entire process, was so responsive and easy to get in touch with- it was a pleasure to work with him. I would definitely recommend Step it Up Events to any brides/grooms looking to have a memorable experience during their wedding reception.
The Best photo booth service in the east coast!!! We had Step It Up Events as our photo booth for our wedding! The owner, Howard, really goes the extra mile to make your day perfect. He walks you through the prep process and makes sure everything is in place for the big day. All the guests can’t stop talking about the great service and quality of the photos. We highly recommend Step It Up Events. It’s a must of the check list!
After going to a wedding with Howard and Step it Up Events, I knew I had to have this photo booth at our wedding. We got married this past June and everyone loved it! We love looking through all the pictures. Thank you!
So happy we went with Step It Up Events for our wedding. The set up was exactly as I had envisioned it to be for my wedding, an open, classy concept that worked perfectly with our wedding style. The team, Kyle & Kara were phenomenal and extremely attentive. All of our guests raved about the photobooth and went home with a ton of pictures. That night, we received all of the print outs that my husband and I were in and got a USB of all of the pictures taken with everyone. That was amazing to see since we won't be receiving the rest of our wedding pictures for a while. Thank you so much Howard and the Step It Up Events team for making our wedding such an amazing experience for everyone!
Howard is a true professional. Very helpful and goes above and beyond. Great communication and very friendly. The party was a hit and everyone raved about the photo booth and his staff. Pictures were great. I definitely think going with the light sticks and projector for the ceiling is well worth it. A++ Highly recommend his services!
Howard and his staff at Step It Up Events did a wonderful job, we cannot put into words how well the night went. Top notch service-many of our guests are engaged, and have already asked about him for their wedding.
Howard was the only photo booth that provides actual pictures that can be put into a frame. Our thank you gifts were frames with instructions to put Howard's pictures into the frames on everyone's way out.
We absolutely will not hesitate to recommend Step It Up Events. The equipment , the Red Carpet, back drop-and quality of work all set the tone for the night.
A++, 5 Stars is not enough!
I just wanna say step it up did an amazing job. Howard was great, He was awesome from the first time I contacted him. Got back to me right away and His photo booth is top of the line. You pay for what you get. He offers the red carpet and custom logo with high quality photos. Can't get any better than that. Thank you again for an amazing time the guests loved it. Looking forward to future events
I contacted Howard to rent a photo booth after attending my sister in law's wedding and had a blast there taking photos with family. From the first phone call, Howard was professional, reliable and thorough. He was able to replicate a custom design from my invitations on the thank you cards at my wedding and all of my guests are still raving about how awesome the photo booth experience was. His team was efficient, punctual, kind, and took awesome pictures of all my guests. All of the things Howard promised, he delivered! He has a passion for his work and that shows in the set up and design of his services. I will continue to recommend Step It Up Events to all family and friends! Thank you, Howard!
"OMG!!..." Step It Up Events photobooth was amazing and a huge hit. What an awesome way to remember our wedding day. Every guest at my wedding, young and old, loved the photo booth. Truly made the night unforgettable. The owner Howard and his team were terrific, friendly, professionally and energetic. Love love love the photobooth and so happy with our decision to use it as part of our favors. Howard truly made my wedding feel like a Hollywood Red Carpet event. Everyone can't stop talking about it. I highly recommend Step It Up Events for any events for their professionalism, reasonable prices, and high quality.
The photobooth setup by Step it Up Events was an amazing attraction to have at our wedding! We loved the beautiful setup and so did all of our guests! Howard did an amazing job customizing our backdrop to uniquely define us and the theme of wedding. The photos were amazing and the props were just icing on the cake. I highly recommend!
Step It Up events was such a special and unique part of our wedding! Since it's not your typical closed off photo booth you are able to get your picture taken and still feel like you're a a part of the rest of the wedding. They provide every guest with a 4x6 print right after your photo is taken and even give you an option to send the picture directly to your phone. I've been to weddings where the person in charge of the photo booth doesn't say a word to you but the guys who ran the booth were interactive, friendly, and helpful. Howard pays attention to every detail had the most awesome backdrop made with our initial, wedding date, and our color theme. I would highly recommend Step It Up Events for any occasion as it adds a certain special touch that your guests will enjoy and probably not expect. Thanks for our wonderful pictures!
Howard and his team did an amazing job at our wedding - the guests couldn't get enough of the photo booth! All of our guests were raving about the booth and having it at their events!
Howard was really easy to work with and so attentive to all our needs. Everything turned out just like we had hoped and the photos are some of our best memories from the night! I couldn't recommend Howard and his team any more - they are so great to work with!!
Step it up events was absolutely wonderful to work with for our wedding... they provided us with exceptional services both during the planning phase as well as during our wedding . Howard was very detailed and worked with us in regards to the custom design of our step and repeat background! Our set up was absolutely beautiful! Our open photo booth gave our wedding a Hollywood glam feel! Howard provided us with LED light stands , a wedding monogram on the ceiling ,tons of props, customized photo frames (which were a huge hit) a silver carpet , a beautiful video montage , creativity and lots of fun and great memories which will last forever! I could go on and on about how amazing step it up events was ! Our guest are still talking about our photo booth ! My husband and I still can't stop speaking about it ourselves! Step it up was so great that an engaged couple at our wedding has decided to book them for their own upcoming wedding in October! When it comes to having an incredible photo booth experience Step it up will be the BEST way to go! You can't go wrong with Step it up! Thank you so much Howard for making our wedding an amazing event to remember !
We had Step it Up Events at our Wedding on May 28, 2017. We would give them 10 Stars if we could ! Howie and his team went above and beyond for us ! Thank you so much guys !!! Our Guests loved the Photobooth and their pictures ! Everything was perfect and Professional from Beginning to End !
Howard and his staff were amazing, a one of a kind vendor! The "red carpet" setup was a tremendous hit and was enjoyed by all . Our guests loved the attentiveness to detail and the quality of the photos, as did we! We have already recommended Step It Up to our friends and will continue to do so at every opportunity.
Love these guys!
Maritza & Daniel
Howard was absolutely fantastic and so accommodating with all of my guests. He took time to really capture each photo he took! The props were so much fun and the step and repeat was a total hit at my wedding! He's done a bunch of events in my family and would highly recommend him! Anyone who doesn't use him for special occasions is missing out! Thanks again Howard!!
What is there to say about the best Photobooth I have ever seen? My husband and I couldn’t have been happier with the service and how great this VIP red carpet made us feel. This is the best decision for an event to standout, and we are so thankful for Howard!🤗
I cannot say enough great things about Howard and the entire staff of Step It Up. They were professional,personable, and obviously took pride in their work. During such a stressful time it was a relief to know this was one detail I would not have to worry about. Afterwards, I received so many compliments from guests of all ages. I wouldn't hestitate to recommend Step It Up to anyone looking for the best!!!
Absolutely the best experience! So glad we went with this vendor. From the start Howard was very nice and helped me with the process. The day of the wedding the 2 guys working were so nice! They did a great job connecting with our guests. The backdrop was gorgeous. The props were so classy! People had a blast and we have some amazing photos! I highly recommend this company for any event!
The Red Carpet open photo booth was the perfect addition to my daughters New Year's Eve wedding reception. The crew was terrific! All of our guests enjoyed their red carpet experience and were happy to have a fun photo to remember the night. Howard delivered on his promise that it would be a hit! Thanks to everyone at Step It Up Events.
I can't begin to say enough positive things about Howard and Step It Up Events! They truly are the most professional photobooth company out there (and I've seen many!), and the results truly exceeded our expectations. We hired them for my husband's 40th birthday party, and our guests were completely blown away. Howard and his associate were an absolute pleasure to work with, and they truly delivered upon the promise of a beautiful backdrop set-up, velvet rope, and red carpet. The photo quality is spectacular, and the way in which they orchestrated and organized each photo (with numerous people and props in them) was amazing. They set the tone by being extremely courteous, polished, professional, and fun. Look no further... this is hands down the only photobooth company that you should work with. I highly recommend, especially for the most upscale events!!
Best Ever! Howard and team was very professional and so much fun! Pictures were amazing!
Everything was perfect! The backdrop looked amazing and the attendants were so great to everyone! Having this style of "photo booth" was one of the first decisions we made when planning our wedding and it was totally worth it! Thank you so much!!!!
I have to say I was hesitant to have a photo booth at my wedding, but after seeing Step it up Events at another wedding, I was sold! It's not your typical self run, black box in a corner with a kid from craigslist sitting there. It's completely open with an interactive staff. There is a professional photographer posing people along with another staff person assisting people with instantly sharing to social media or text...and it's instant! On your phone, email or social media in seconds. You can also instantly print actual 4x6 prints.
My custom backdrop was amazing! I am not a creative person at all so Howard, the owner asked me my colors and style and designed a beautiful backdrop.
Not only did my husband and I get some great shots, but we fit 14 people into one shot!
We had a very small wedding with no DJ, so the photo booth was our only entertainment and I'm so grateful we decided to have them at our wedding. All of our guests took part in it and had an amazing time. The staff and whole experience will be continued to be talked about by our friends and family for a very long time!
Thanks again to Howard and the professional, easy going, fun staff of Step it up Events!!!
I've been to so many weddings and there have been photo booths at almost all of them and none of them could stand up to this one that I used for my wedding. This isn't a basic do it yourself cheesy booth. This company is hands on for the entire length of the event and maintains the booth in the most orderly efficient way I've ever seen. Their prints are incredible 4x6's that are produced for each guest in seconds. Howard did an amazing job on accommodating our special requests for our backdrop and designed it himself and it was gorgeous we couldn't have asked for more. The props were top quality along with the red carpet, lighting and velvet ropes. Everyone commented on how incredible it was and how it was one of their favorite parts of my wedding. When its your own wedding it's very difficult to time manage and make sure you touch all the bases but what I am most grateful for is how Howard made sure he rounded my husband and I up to take some key shots of just the two of us that ended up being my images for my Thank You cards. Howard and his company are truly the very best you can get for this type of service and made my wedding feel like a celebrity event. You will not be disappointed so don't hesitate.
There is nothing negative that could be said about Step It Up Events. They have changed the photo booth game period. I have seen many other open photo booths and it's the same lame film strip pictures in an open environment with no sharing or its a separate sharing system from an iPad. I could not believe how cool and engaging their touch screen system were by having the ability to instantly change my filters of my pictures like Instagram, every picture stayed on the kiosk screen the entire night and all the ways I could share and print them instantly. They also had amazing cool props and the entire setup was beautiful. I asked my friend how much she paid and my jaw dropped as I thought it would have been double of what they charged. I will be booking them for my future wedding when the day comes!
Step It Up Events was a great added feature to my daughter's bridal shower. We had a party theme of Hollywood Wedding Movies and Step It Up was great in using their "green screen" to add to the fun. All the guest were having so much fun taking pictures and we had so many compliments of the "best shower ever".
Thanks Howard!
Life of the party! Memories live on long after the day!
My guests were very impressed with the 4x6 quality prints, the filters and the social media uploading. While a photo booth has become a standard at weddings, this was a great way to keep that element but add a twist to make my wedding unique.
Let me first start by saying that I came across Howard and Barb from Step It Up Events at a friends wedding. I had never seen an open photo booth before. Within 10 minutes I looked at my fiancé and said, "I don't care what we need to cut out we are having this photo booth at our wedding."
I cannot say enough good things about them...it was PERFECT. I had so many guests come up to me to tell me how amazing the photo booth was and that they loved the fact you got your pictures within a few seconds and that you can text, email, and post the pictures to social media RIGHT FROM THEIR SET-UP!!
They were by far the easiest vendor to work with and worth every penny! If you are looking to have some seriously awesome memories book with them!
We decided to use Step It Up Events two days before our wedding! Howard was extremely accommodating and professional. He made a personalized background and set of information cards within a day and a half!
He was the best decision we made! All of our guests raved about him & loved that they got pictures immediately and on site! All of his props were extremely clean and new.
Our photo gallery was available within two days and we received a 5x7 and USB with all of our pictured in 6 days!!!
USE THIS VENDOR!!!!
Step it Up Events was the perfect addition to our wedding. From the beginning, Howard was great to work with. He has a keen eye for attention to detail and is very thorough with the services he offers. We had a custom step and repeat open air photo booth. Howard created our step and repeat monogram logo and we couldn’t be happier with the design. On the day of our wedding, Howard was enthusiastic and all of our guests loved all the different props and really utilized the “photo booth.” Step it Up Events was a big part of making our special day so perfect. We would not hesitate to use Step it Up in the future.
My husband and I chose Step It Up Events for our wedding on 9/26/2014. Howard and his staff were professional from the planning phase to the wedding night. The options that were provided to us were limitless and allowed us to really make our wedding an event that our family and friends won’t soon forget. Our wedding was almost 2 months ago and our guests are still raving about their red carpet experience. I would recommend them for any upcoming event if you want to make it memorable and fun for all in attendance. This was one decision i was proud of and would do it again!
Two months after our wedding people are still talking about how much fun our green screen was! My husband and I wanted to have an activity for our guests in addition to drinking and dancing. He had the idea to have a green screen photographer. I'm so glad that we didn't just find anyone, we found Howard and Step it Up Events! We gave Howard a list of 9 ideas for background images. He did some research, and then we picked our favorite 6 to use on our wedding day. We used some pictures that were our own- our favorite beach and a mountain shot from when we first met. Howard found the others for us- on the surface of the moon, in front of the Eiffel tower, etc. Howard also designed a logo for us to put on the frames that we passed out to our guests. We wanted the green screen to be an activity at our wedding, but it ended up doubling as awesome favors for our guests to take home. Howard has a huge chroma key (green) screen that is the same quality the tv weatherman/woman uses. He takes the pictures himself. Everything is lit professionally so you don't get shadows.This really shows in the quality of the pictures. It is way better than stuffing people in a photobooth. We opted for unlimited 4x6 prints for our guests. You can print your picture with any (or all) of the 6 backgrounds, add filters to them, and upload them to the internet from their kiosk. It is easy to use yourself, but Step It Up provides someone to help your guests. (Barbara was super friendly and helpful). I have no hesitation in recommending Step It Up for an out of the box photo experience. Howard is an excellent photographer, and has a great eye for design. He is very professional. Everything promised was delivered, including a usb drive of all of the pictures that night, and everything uploaded to a password protected site the next day. We had bad weather at the beginning of our honeymoon and enjoyed reliving the wedding with those pictures from our hotel room.
We were at an event that Step It Up covered and were completely impressed. Their service is unlike any we had seen before and totally obliterates the traditional photo booth setup. Booking was simple and Howard has been both accomodating and his creativity and energy are limitless. We can't wait to roll out the red carpet on our wedding day and blow our guests away. The fact that our guests will be able to share their photos of our special day on all social media platforms made this a no brainer. Looking forward to Stepping it Up on 9/26/14!!
Dear Howard & Step It Up Events,
I would like to thank you for an amazing event. Your open photo booth was a big hit & the choices of props were enjoyed at our wedding by all our guests and they raved about the experience. You are a great person to work with (professional, creative, experienced & patient). You helped me feel comfortable & confident from designing our banner all the way to the end of our event.
Nick & I are very happy to have had Step It Up Events for our wedding. The pictures taken came out very nice & the prints were great quality! Lots of amazing/fun Props! We would recommend your business and service to anyone. You made our special day memorable & fun.
Step It Up Events - you rock! Awesome job! Highly recommended!
Regards,
Monica & Nick
