Selfie Pod Hire: Why It’s the Modern Photobooth Guests Love

Selfie Pod Hire: Why It’s the Modern Photobooth Guests Love

Guests remember how a party felt, and the photos are how they relive it. A selfie pod gets people laughing, mingling and posing all night, and you go home with a gallery full of memories. Here’s why it’s become the go-to photo spot, and how to make the most of yours.

In a nutshell

  • A selfie pod is compact, easy for guests to use and fits rooms of any size.
  • Every photo is saved to an online gallery you can share after the event.
  • Put it somewhere visible, close to the action but out of walkways.
  • A great backdrop behind it makes every photo look better.

What is a selfie pod?

Think of it as the modern photobooth. Instead of a closed booth, guests step up, pose and take photos in an open, sleek setup that looks good in the room. It’s simple to use on their own, so there’s no queue of people waiting to be shown what to do.

With our selfie pods, every photo is saved to an online gallery. After your event you get the link, so everyone can see and share them.

Why guests love it

It breaks the ice. Groups who don’t know each other end up crowding in for a photo together, and it gives people something to do between dinner and the dancing. For corporate events and Christmas parties, it’s one of the easiest ways to get a team mixing.

Where to put it

Choose somewhere people pass often: near the bar, the entrance or the dancefloor, but not in a walkway. A corner of the room is usually plenty of space. Tell us your venue and we’ll make sure it fits.

Make your photos pop

The backdrop makes the photo. A sequin wall adds sparkle, a flower wall feels romantic, and light-up letters or numbers in shot personalise every picture. See our backdrops for more ideas.
