Photo Booth Hire Inner West

Warehouses, pubs and terrace streets

The Inner West does not have one venue type, it has three, and they could hardly be less alike. Converted warehouses around Marrickville and St Peters hand you a big open floor and an industrial look. Above the pubs in Newtown, Enmore and Leichhardt, the function rooms come with character and a staircase. Then there are the terrace homes around Balmain and the small galleries, where the party happens in a space that was never designed to hold one.

Which of the three you are working with decides the booth, the footprint and how long setup takes, so it is the first thing we ask about.

Power, stairs and parking

Power: a booth runs from a standard power point, not a special supply. In an older warehouse or pub room the nearest point is often nowhere near where the booth should go, which is much better known in advance than discovered during setup.

Stairs: a good number of the best function rooms here are upstairs with no lift. That is a carry we plan around, and it changes how early the van needs to arrive.

Parking: terrace streets are narrow and frequently permit-only. We work out where the van unloads beforehand rather than circling the block with a load of kit in the back.

None of this is dramatic. It is just the difference between a setup that runs to time and one that does not.

The parties the Inner West throws

Birthdays, engagements, warehouse weddings, launches and work parties that do not want a ballroom. A warehouse floor is the one place the 360 Booth never has to fight for room. The Retro Booth suits the area’s styling, which counts for a lot in a pub function room. The Glam Booth fits the more polished end of the weddings here, and the Audio Guest Book is there if you want guests leaving voice messages as well as photos.
