Booking a Photo Booth with Up in Lights Entertainment for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Chantel was so kind, responsive, and helpful every step of the way. Our guests had an absolute blast with the Photo Booth, from the beautiful flower wall backdrop to the fun accessories that made every picture memorable. It can be overwhelming with the amount of options out there, but if you want an amazing experience book with Up in Lights Entertainment — you won’t be disappointed!

Up in Lights Entertainment did the photo booth for my wife's 50th Birthday party. Chantel was absolutely amazing!! She was there from the planning stages, arrived early to set up in the best location possible, and took unbelievable pictures of our party. I could not be more happy with the services that were provided and would recommend them, and especially her, to anyone.

Up In Lights Entertainment did the Magic MIrror Photobooth last weekend at my daughter's bridal shower. This company beyond exceeded my expectations from beginning to end!! Chantel (the company's owner) made the whole process so easy. One phone call and it was all set!! When I arrived at the venue, I was truly surprised at how beautiful and classy the photobooth itself was!!
If you are considering a photo booth for your occasion, the Magic MIrror by Up In Lights Entertainment is the Only one to get!! They personalize and enhance the whole concept making it a truly "one and only" experience! All of the guests had so much fun!!
Chantel and Up In Lights Entertainment truly elevated my daughter's occasion to a whole new level, I definitely recommend them to Everyone!!

I hired this venue for my best friend baby shower/surprised wedding renewal. Gary & Shantel were amazing throughout the whole process. Their packages are very detailed and prices were definitely in budget. We communicated to customize a package because no one has done a baby shower wedding renewal before lol. A true testimony to how they value their customer’s vision if you have an idea they are able to bring it to life. If there is an error they take accountability and do everything they can to fix it. We had a custom board created and when we noticed the name was spelled wrong on a few of our photo prints they didn’t give us a hard time and wasn’t dismissive to or issue’s especially since it was after the event that we noticed. They resent the picture prints to us electronically and mailed corrected prints. The photo mirror was the highlight of the night, they didn’t rush the guest, they smiled, and interacted with the guest, they were on time, great energy, and professional. Thank you for helping us to make this special night a success. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a hot commodity at your event. The photo booth mirror from Up In Lights Entertainment is a must!

We hired Up In Lights for our wedding and they were amazing! The magic mirror photobooth was a hit with our guests and we received a lot of compliments about it. There was a line for the photobooth pretty much throughout our reception because people kept wanting to come back to take more. It was awesome to get a digital copy of all the photos too. Also, Chantel and Gary were extremely professional, friendly, and made everyone feel at ease. Would definitely recommend!

We strongly recommend this company. There was a line to take pictures the entire night! Up In Lights Entertainment gave us unique memories of our friends and family.

WOW!! The Mirror Me Interactive Photo Booth was SO cool for my Bridal Shower. Everybody loved it, they had awesome props and it really great to be able to see yourself and others in the mirror for a photo booth. Chantel was so professional and collected all the printed photos for me to have at the end of the Shower. She also sent them to me via email which was nice to have. Chantel and Gary were instrumental at my bridal shower and I would highly recommend them (5/5 stars) to anyone with a fun event coming up!

I highly recommending using Up In Lights to add an extra special element to your party! Our guests absolutely loved it and it was so much more fun and interactive than a standard photo booth. The best part was having all the digital copies sent to us after the event to look back on :)
