The Icon DJ Approach

The booth should be easy for guests and simple for the event team.

Guests should be able to step in, pose and share without stopping to learn a complicated system. The booth placement, start screen and photo design are prepared before load in.

The service can stay digital and minimal, add printed keepsakes, or become a branded activation for a company event.

01

The Experience

A small footprint with a clear job.

The freestanding open air booth works in ballrooms, restaurants, offices, private homes and outdoor settings without building a wall around the guests.

Looks Clean

Designed to sit comfortably in the room.

The white booth and simple station feel intentional beside wedding decor, company branding or a private party setup.

Moves Quickly

Guests can use it without instructions.

Fast sessions and straightforward sharing keep the booth active without creating a line that blocks the event.

02

Formats

Choose the finish that fits the event.

The booth can be kept simple or built out with physical keepsakes and event branding. The quote should match what guests will actually use.

Digital First

Photos that are easy to share.

Custom overlays, digital delivery and a post event gallery without a print station taking up more room.

Printed Keepsakes

A photo to take home.

Photo strips are included in the hosted package, so guests can take a copy home while another goes into the scrapbook.

Guestbook

A copy for the guest and one for you.

Pair printed photos with a keepsake book so guests can leave a handwritten note during the event.

Company Events

Brand the frame, not the whole room.

Use an event mark, campaign artwork or company identity on the start screen and photo design.

03

One coordinated booth plan.

The exact format is confirmed before the event so the client, planner and venue know what will arrive and how much space it needs.

Placement

The best booth location feels visible, not intrusive.

Placement is considered with guest traffic, dinner service, background quality and the rest of the event floor plan in mind.

Before The Event

Confirm space, power and access.

A room photo or floor plan helps establish the booth position, backdrop direction and load in route.

During The Event

Open when guests are ready to use it.

Booth hours can begin after dinner, run beside dancing or support a reception, fundraiser or conference social.

06

Questions

Useful details before the date is held.

The final recommendation depends on the venue, operating time, delivery, print needs and whether the booth is booked alone or with Icon DJ.

Can the booth be booked without DJ service?

Yes. Photo booth service can stand alone or be combined with Icon DJ, uplighting or Icon AV production.

Are prints and a scrapbook included?

Yes. The hosted packages include photo strips and a scrapbook. If you prefer a digital-only format, ask Ethan to confirm its scope and price.

Can we use our logo or wedding artwork?

Yes. Names, dates, an event mark or company artwork can be incorporated into the start screen and photo layout.

How far do you deliver?

The booth is based in Santa Cruz and serves the Monterey Bay, South Bay, Peninsula and surrounding markets when the event schedule and access allow.
