Get started by creating your first event on our website, https://booth.events.

In this first video we cover the basics at high-level to get you started:

In this second video we walk through creating an event, launching it on the iPad app, the iPad app guest experience, seeing the guest data on the event, and downloading the guest data from the event:

What is an Event?

An Event represents a job you've been hired for—a wedding, birthday party, corporate gathering, or any occasion where you're running your photo booth.

When you create an event, Booth.Events automatically sets up everything you need: a Gallery where photos and videos are stored, a Template that controls how the booth captures and assembles photos, and an Attract Screen that displays on the iPad when no one is using it.

Events also store guest information (like email addresses entered on the iPad) and let you add notes you can view from either the website or the iPad.

Creating an Event

  1. Click Events in the left navigation bar.

  2. Click Create Event.

  3. Enter a name and date for your event. You can change both of these later.

That's it! Your event is ready to customize.

Editing an Event

Once you've created an event, you can adjust its settings to fit the job. This includes things like the event name and date, what guests see in their gallery, and branding that appears on Shared.Gallery and on the iPad.

For details on specific settings, see:

  • Capture Settings

  • Share Settings

  • Event SettingsEvents do not expire

Although the Gallery of an event will expire, the event itself will not expire. This means your guest data will be around for as long as you need it.
