    Pros: it's something fun for your guests to do, and provides an alternative to dancing. You also usually will get copies of all the photos from the company, which can be fun to look through and would be more memories from the night.

    Cons: it's likely that not everyone will use it (though many probably will). It's also another expense and another vendor to coordinate.

    Overall, if it's in your budget and you think your guests will use it, I say go for it! If not in your budget, totally fine to skip.

    Thanks - budget isn't an issue, as the owners are friends of my son (who is in the wedding Smiley laugh ) and are giving us 2 hours free.

    If you’re receiving it for free, then I don’t see any cons 🤷🏼‍♀️

    This seems like an easy decision! I would definitely accept their offer and have the photo booth at your wedding!

    We didn't get one. It's overrated, expensive, and basic. If it's free, why not? But I wouldn't spend money on it myself. We don't want to do something everyone else does at their wedding for entertainment, so we chose a different option.

    We are doing a more DIY version because vendors are soooo expensive but if it's free I say do it! People always seem to love it!

    We didn’t have one and I didn’t want to spend the money on one, but if I was offered it for free I would absolutely do it.

    We had our own set up for a photobooth, but we ended up taking it down because our wedding night got a little windy here and there. It was just something for guests to do if they wanted Smiley smile

    We had 157 guests and not all of them used the photo booth but we still got about 2k pictures from it. It was a wonderful thing because both sides of our families and all of our friends took goofy pictures together that we otherwise would not have gotten. I’m really glad we decided have one.

    We had 64 guests at our wedding and everyone LOVED our photobooth. It was so fun and my husband and I loved getting to look at all of the photos after the fact! Here’s one of the photo strips of the two of us! Photo Booth? 1

    I say go for it since it’s free. It’ll give guests something to do if no one is out on the dance floor yet. And you end up great pics

    We got one and our guest loved it! My dad tried talking me out of it saying it would take away from the dj but that wasn’t the case at all. Highly recommend having one
