photo booth point of contact

If you have chosen a photo booth, we ask that you designate a point of contact for our staff. we encourage and appreciate the silliness a photo booth with fun props creates, but this often leads to children getting rambunctious and damage can occur to our photo booth. this point of contact will be our go-to person to help us speak with any guest that might cause damage to our photo booth. as per the rental agreement, you are responsible for any damages and this has been a great way to help you reduce that risk.
