Fine Entertainments Ltd runs this site from Corby, Northamptonshire. We book booths through trusted partners who work across the North East, so one enquiry gets you a look at who's free on your date and a clear quote.
Christmas party season on Tyneside
December fills up early. St James' Park runs festive party nights throughout the month, and plenty of firms hold their own private dos in city hotels. If you're organising your own event, book the booth as soon as you've got a date, because good Fridays go first.
Prints with your company name and the year on them are a nice touch. Have a look at our party booth page for the kind of setups that work in a packed function room. And if your do is in early January, which some firms prefer, you'll usually find more booths free and a bit more choice.
Proms, 18ths and the big birthday
For a school prom, an open-air booth tends to win. Groups of mates pile in, nobody's squashed, and the attendant keeps things moving. Schools usually want an attendant there the whole time anyway, and digital copies by QR code save teenagers waiting around for prints.
Milestone birthdays are a bit different. A 50th crowd often loves an old-school enclosed booth with a curtain and a strip of four photos. And a guest book where everyone sticks their strip in with a message? That's the thing people keep.
Photo booth hire Newcastle venues and what they're like
Jesmond Dene House is a different feel altogether, a Grade II listed Arts and Crafts mansion set in the wooded dene. Its Great Hall takes around 130, so it's lovely for smaller weddings where a compact enclosed booth or a GIF booth fits without crowding the room.
Before the night
Your venue will probably ask for the partner's public liability insurance and PAT certificates, which they usually carry. You'll need a socket close by and a clear corner, not right next to the speakers.
Football venues and civic buildings usually have set times for suppliers to load in. Check whether there's a match or another event the same day, because a home game at St James' Park changes the traffic around Gallowgate completely. A quick look at the fixture list before you pick a date can save the partner, and your guests, a lot of sitting in traffic.
