Why Social Booths Are the Heartbeat of Every Modern Melbourne Event
Events are evolving, and digital engagement is now at the core of every unforgettable experience. The social booth is leading that transformation. At Melbourne 360 Photo Booths, we’ve reimagined traditional photo booths for today’s social-savvy audiences.
A social booth is a sleek, digital-first upgrade from the photo booths of the past. It enables guests to create images, boomerangs, GIFs, and short videos—all customised with filters, animations, and branding. Then, with a tap, they share them instantly to their phones and socials.
Melbourne's vibrant culture of creativity, style, and self-expression makes it the perfect city for a social booth experience.
Unlike traditional setups that focus on prints, social booths are all about digital delivery. Guests interact with a touchscreen interface, select their preferred media type, apply themed overlays or augmented reality features, and send it directly to themselves. Everything is mobile-friendly, sharable, and incredibly fun.
Branding isn’t just an option—it’s built in. From the first screen to the final frame, every detail can reflect your logo, slogan, campaign message, and even a clickable call-to-action. Your event guests become instant brand advocates, sharing your message organically across their networks.
These booths are perfect for small venues
With a compact footprint, they fit easily into rooftops, boutiques, marquees, or home settings. Just 1.5 square metres is enough space to create a digital memory station guests won’t forget.
At a recent 70s-themed wedding at Abbotsford Convent, we installed a retro-style social booth. Guests in disco outfits created themed videos and boomerangs all night long. The result? A wall of digital memories and an album full of smiles.
Social booth trends for 2025 point to more AI integration, touchless functionality, analytics dashboards, and cross-platform support. As technology grows more interactive, so does the potential for unforgettable event content.
Ultimately, the social booth is no longer just a novelty—it’s the pulse of modern events. From creating personal keepsakes to generating organic brand exposure, it does everything with style and impact.
