Now Booking · Winter Season
Across the events industry, December's best Thursday and Friday evenings are traditionally the first to be reserved each year — often months ahead of the party itself. If your office celebration, awards evening or client event is already in the diary this winter, now is the moment to secure your installation and let it carry your brand through the room.
Your logo, colours and event name woven into every welcome screen, print template and digital share — so every photo doubles as a piece of your brand, out in the world.
Unlimited digital photos, GIFs and boomerangs, plus unlimited prints throughout the evening — nobody at a large party should be told the booth has "run out."
A dedicated, uniformed Booth Host manages the queue and keeps the energy high through a long guest list — so every table gets its moment, not just the first fifty through the door.
Fully insured, PAT-tested, and happy to coordinate directly with your venue's events team — one less vendor for whoever's organising the party to chase in December.
Beyond the Christmas Party
Awards evenings · Product launches · Staff appreciation · Client events
The same branded installation works just as hard at any corporate occasion on the calendar — not only in December.

Client Love
Absolutely stunning setup! Our guests couldn't stop talking about it. The magazine booth was a total showstopper at our wedding reception. Highly recommended!
The 360 video booth was the highlight of our corporate gala. Every single guest wanted a go. Professional team, flawless execution, beautiful results.
From the first inquiry to the final photo strip, the entire experience was seamless and luxurious. The Magic Mirror was a massive hit with all my guests of all ages.

Common Questions
Our curated 3-hour experiences are priced as follows: The Digital Selfie Pod from £300 — minimalist and social-first, ideal for cocktail hours. The 360 Video Booth & Magic Mirror from £450 each — immersive, glamorous red-carpet centrepieces. The Magazine Booth, our signature high-fashion editorial installation with a grand walk-in structure and studio-grade lighting, is under curation ahead of its Essex unveiling from £850 — join our Private Registry to be among the first offered a booking.
We are proudly based in Chelmsford (CM1) and primarily curate luxury experiences across Essex and within a 50-mile radius of our studio — encompassing the heart of London and the surrounding Home Counties. For events in Central London (Zone 1), a modest concierge fee is applied to manage ULEZ, congestion logistics, and dedicated parking.
To preserve the mystery and allure of your installation, we offer "Idle Hours." Our team completes a discreet setup well before your guests arrive — for instance, prior to a wedding breakfast — with the installation remaining elegant and inactive until your evening festivities commence. This ensures zero disruption to your event's natural flow.
To ensure a comfortable, VIP experience for every guest: The Digital Selfie Pod requires a minimalist 1.5m × 1.5m area. The 360 Video Booth and Magic Mirror each require a dedicated 3m × 3m space for optimal filming and fluid guest movement. The Magazine Booth — as a grand physical installation — requires a level 3m × 3m footprint with a minimum ceiling clearance of 2.5m.
Indisputably. Every experience is managed by a professional, impeccably presented Booth Host who acts as a personal concierge for your guests — ensuring everyone looks their finest and that the technology performs flawlessly from the first guest to the last.
We believe in instant gratification delivered with elegance. Via our high-speed digital delivery system, guests receive their 360 videos or portraits through AirDrop, QR code, or email the very moment they step out of frame — ready to share with the world in stunning high-definition.
We specialise in high-end brand activations. Your company logo, event hashtag, or bespoke graphic overlay can be seamlessly embedded into every capture — ensuring your brand remains the star of every share. We also offer Custom Micro-sites for media downloads, Branded Emails and SMS, and Live Gallery Streaming to your venue's LED screens.
Your peace of mind is our priority. We hold comprehensive Public Liability Insurance (PLI) to the value of £5 million, and all equipment undergoes rigorous PAT testing. We are pleased to coordinate directly with your venue's events team — whether a private Essex estate or a prestigious London hotel — to provide all necessary documentation with the utmost discretion.
