Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

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 from £850 — our signature high-fashion editorial installation with a grand walk-in structure and studio-grade lighting. The AI Photo Stand from £550 — our most innovative installation, fusing luxury photography with cutting-edge artificial intelligence for a truly unique keepsake.

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. The AI Photo Stand requires a compact 1.5m × 1.5m area with a power outlet nearby.

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) 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.
