A 360 video booth works at a wedding because it gives guests something fun to do together once the formal part of the day is over. A V360 Video Booth is staffed, so you and the wedding party do not host it. Guests step onto the platform with wedding props, the camera circles them and they leave with a 26-second clip. You get every video from the night the next day.
Why it works at a wedding
A wedding brings together people who do not always mix. Grandparents, school friends, colleagues and children all end up on the same platform. The booth gives them a reason to grab a prop and step up together. The clip catches the moment in a way a still picture does not.
It also gives you a record of the evening you would otherwise miss. You cannot be in every corner of the room. The gallery afterwards shows you who came up with whom and what they did with the props.
When to run it
The practical slot is the evening party, after the formal photographs and the speeches. Evening guests have arrived, the photographer has finished the posed pictures and people are free to step away for a clip. Keep the ceremony, the meal and the speeches clear. If you want an earlier slot, say so when you enquire. The detail is in when to book a 360 video booth at a wedding.
How the evening runs
About a fortnight before the wedding the team contacts your venue to agree the space, so you do not have to chase it. On the day the operator or operators arrive one hour before your start time and set up discreetly.
When the booth opens, the operator guides each group onto the platform, positions them and positions the camera for every person. The ring lights and the room lighting keep everyone well framed and well lit. Guests are encouraged to dance, look for the camera and pose while the camera rotates around them. The platform does not spin. Afterwards they are helped down and shown their video at the sharing station. After your end time the team takes around 45 minutes to an hour to break down. The full running order is in what happens on the night with a staffed 360 video booth.
Small booth or large booth
- Small booth. A 1.5 m by 1.5 m platform for up to 2 people at a time, run by one operator.
- Large booth. A 2.5 m by 2.5 m platform for up to 4 people at a time, run by two operators because there are more people to manage.
Both need about half a metre around the booth so the camera arm can rotate safely, a solid even floor and a power plug or other power source. Wifi is not required. The full comparison is in small or large 360 video booth and the footprint detail is in how much space a 360 video booth needs.
At a wedding the large booth suits groups of friends who want to step up together. The small booth suits a tighter room or a party where most people come up in pairs.
Wedding props
The prop table carries a standard set of high-quality props plus wedding props:
- bride hats
- groom top hats
- wedding glasses
- microphones
- tiaras
- gold chains
If your wedding has its own theme, custom props are £75 for 10 pieces on top of the standard props with the Bespoke Themed Prop Package. Book them at least 4 months ahead. A Lord of the Rings wedding is one example where custom props make sense.
Your song and your names on every video
One song plays on every video from the booking. On Paper and Bronze packages V360 chooses an appropriate on-theme popular song. On Silver and Gold packages you choose the song and the 26-second section of it you want. Song choice and a text or logo overlay are included with Silver and Gold. On Paper and Bronze packages both are available as paid add-ons for £20 each: the Custom Music Overlay and the Custom Text or Logo Overlay. One song still plays across all the videos. For text, send the exact wording and spelling. For a logo, send a transparent PNG.
For a wedding, Silver and Gold include putting your first dance song on every clip and adding your names and wedding date as a text overlay. On Paper and Bronze you can add either for £20. Send the names and the date exactly as you want them to appear. The full guide is personalising your 360 booth videos.
There is no age limit, so children can join in. A tall adult may need to hold a small child so both stay in frame. More is in can children use a 360 video booth.
Your videos after the wedding
Guests download their own clip at the video sharing station on the night by AirDrop, a QR code, SMS or email. Their phone is not used to record. About 12 hours after the booking ends you are emailed a web gallery of every video plus a shared Google Drive folder for a bulk download. Both stay available for six months and no USB is needed. Delivery is covered in how do we get our 360 booth videos.
The gallery is a fun way to see the evening from your guests' side the morning after.
Prices and travel
Small Paper is £175 for one hour and Large Paper is £225 for one hour, up to Gold at £425 small and £495 large for four hours. Bookings beyond four hours are priced as a custom quote.
