If you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, birthday party or awards night, you’ve probably wondered whether to book a Magic Mirror or a digital photo booth.
Both create amazing memories, both keep guests entertained, and both are fantastic additions to any event. However, they offer very different experiences.
At Inferno DJ & Event Hire, we provide both our luxury Magic Mirror Photo Booth and our modern Ring Light Digital Photo Booth across Glasgow, Edinburgh, Ayrshire, Lanarkshire, Dundee, Perth and throughout Scotland. Here’s everything you need to know before deciding which is right for your event.
What Is a Magic Mirror Photo Booth?
A Magic Mirror is a full-length interactive mirror with a hidden touchscreen camera system. Guests stand in front of the mirror, strike a pose and follow fun on-screen animations before their photo is taken.
Unlike a traditional enclosed booth, the Magic Mirror becomes part of the entertainment. Guests can see themselves from head to toe, making it perfect for larger groups and full-length photos.
Magic Mirror Features
- Full-length interactive mirror
- Touchscreen display with animations
- Instant high-quality prints
- Digital copies of every image
- Props included
- Personalised photo templates
- Red carpet and luxury barriers available
- LED lighting for flattering photographs
- Guestbook options available
Why Couples Love the Magic Mirror
The Magic Mirror has become one of the most popular wedding entertainment options because it feels elegant and interactive.
Guests of all ages enjoy using it, and because it’s open rather than enclosed, friends and family can gather together for larger group photos.
It’s particularly popular during evening receptions when everyone is relaxed and ready to have fun.
What Is a Ring Light Digital Photo Booth?
Our Ring Light Digital Photo Booth offers a modern, social-media-friendly experience.
Instead of printing photographs, guests receive their images digitally within seconds. They can instantly share them on social media or save them to their phones.
The sleek design takes up very little space, making it ideal for venues where room is limited.
