For weddings at Excelsior, Lancaster, PA

Excelsior's preferred photo booth company

Run by a wedding photographer with nearly 600 weddings behind the camera, a remarkable number of them under this ballroom's chandeliers. We work Excelsior's weddings, its corporate events, and its own tastings. No booth company knows this building like we do.

We also know a few things about your venue that other companies do not. Most couples find them out the hard way. The biggest one is waiting near the bottom of this page.

Booked Excelsior? Then these are yours

The extras are on us

Every Excelsior couple who books us gets our guest signing album for free. Book a package that includes The Roamer Booth, and a free hour of idle time comes with it too.

The guest signing album

Guests slip their favorite print into the album and write a note beside it. You leave the reception with every face and every message in one keepsake, instead of a basket of loose strips.

Pick the cover and page colors that match your wedding. We bring it, style the signing station, and hand it to you at the end of the night.

The idle hour

Book any package that includes The Roamer Booth and we include an hour of idle time for free. The booth stays set, styled, and ready through dinner instead of being torn down and rebuilt in the middle of your reception.

Your timeline stays seamless, and the booth is open the moment the dancing starts.

That is $350 in extras, before we have even talked packages.

What makes us different

These are not upgrades or fine print. Every South Central booking includes all three.

The person

An on-site attendant, every single time

We never drop off equipment and drive away. Your attendant arrives up to two hours early, sets everything up, keeps the booth humming and your guests engaged all night, then packs out while you dance.

You never think about the booth once. That is the point.

We arrive, set up, run the booth, and pack out

The time

Three hours of open booth time, built in

Every package includes three full hours of open booth time, and setup and teardown never count against your clock.

Formalities and dinner usually take the first hour of a reception, so three hours covers the dance floor from the moment it opens to the last song.

Setup and teardown are always free

The photos

Glam filter galleries, live for a full year

Our glam filter gives photos the celebrity treatment. Afterward, your private online gallery uses AI face detection, so guests find every photo of themselves in seconds.

Download the whole gallery, single captures, or just your favorites, any time for a full year.

Extend it for a second year as your anniversary nears

Also included with every booking: unlimited sessions, a print for everyone in the photo (four people in a photo means four prints if they each want one), your choice of 30 premium backdrops, custom print designs, and a live public gallery your guests can browse during the reception itself.

Three experiences we bring to Excelsior

Every one of them includes the attendant, the three hours, the prints, and the galleries. The difference is what your guests get to do.

01

The AI Booth

Guests step in and walk out as something else entirely, styled around whatever theme you pick for the night. It is the one people line up for twice.

They get their real photo too, so nobody trades a keepsake for the novelty.

The Glam Booth

The black and white, skin-smoothing look made famous by the Kardashians. Studio lighting, a premium backdrop, and photos your guests actually post.

Black and white, color, or both. It is our most popular wedding booth for a reason.

The Roamer Booth

No booth, no line. Our attendant works the room during cocktail hour downstairs, and every photo lands on your guests' phones within seconds.

We print those copies during dinner so they are waiting upstairs when the dancing starts.

And yes, we do keychains

The Keychain Booth sends every guest home with their photo in a real keychain, printed and assembled on the spot. It is the favor people keep on their keys for years instead of leaving on the table.

Add it to any night

What your guests carry out

Both print sizes. No choosing.

Most companies make you pick a size when you book. We hand your guests whichever one they want, all night long.

The thing we mentioned at the top

No photo booth fits in the elevator shaft labeled "Photo Booth"

Excelsior has a gorgeous antique elevator shaft with the words Photo Booth right on it. Couples spot it on their tour and quietly plan around it. Then the wedding day arrives, the booth shows up, and everyone learns the same lesson at the same moment: it is an elevator shaft. Nothing fits in there. We know because we have measured.

Here is what we know instead. The booth belongs right beside the front doors, in the front left or front right corner window cut-out. It never crowds the dance floor, and it photographs beautifully all night long.

The shaft is not a lost cause, though. It makes a perfect signature drink station, and that Photo Booth sign above it turns into a conversation piece instead of a disappointment.

Book a company that has never worked this building, and this is the kind of thing that gets figured out at 4:45 pm on your wedding day. Book us, and it was settled months earlier over coffee.

How we work the building

One booth night, two acts

Excelsior gives your celebration two beautiful stages. Your photo booth should use both of them.

Act One, Cocktail Hour

The party starts on the lower level, and so do we

While your guests mingle downstairs, our attendant roams the room with The Roamer Booth, capturing regular photos, AI styled photos, or both. Every shot lands on guests' phones instantly, lighting up group chats before dinner is served.

Then, while everyone eats, we print the physical copies so they are waiting upstairs when the dancing starts.

Act Two, The Reception

The Glam Booth takes its corner for the rest of the night

For the reception, we set up the stationary booth in one of the corner window cut-outs beside the front doors. A print for everyone in the photo, curated props, a backdrop that photographs beautifully, and the signing album right there at the booth.

It anchors the room without ever crowding the dance floor, and guests drift back to it all night.

The hand-off between acts happens during dinner, which is exactly what your free idle hour is for. No tear-down noise, no missing booth, no awkward gap.

One booth, one night, one Excelsior

Now you know what most couples find out the hard way.

That is the difference between hiring a photo booth company and hiring the one that already knows your venue. Send us your date and we will walk you through exactly how the night will run, from the corner your booth takes to the album your guests fill before the last song.
