Planning your room layout and wondering where the booth will go? Here's the practical answer — the footprint to allow, what else needs to fit around it, and the spots in a venue that work best.
Allow a clear area of roughly 2m × 2m for the booth itself, with standing height of about 2m. That comfortably fits our booth almost anywhere — function rooms, village halls, marquees and most living rooms for at-home parties.
On top of the booth's own footprint, it's worth allowing a little space in front for our red carpet and gold barriers (they create the entrance moment everyone loves) and room for a small queue — because there will be one.
The booth needs one standard plug socket nearby. That's it — no special power requirements. When you're picking the spot, a corner or a wall position near a socket is ideal: it keeps cables tidy and gives the booth a natural backdrop.
Think about the flow of the room too. The booth draws a crowd all night, so somewhere visible but not blocking the bar, the dance floor or the route to the loos works best. At weddings, just off the dance floor is the classic spot — guests drift between the two all evening.
Marquees are fine as long as there's power (a extension from the house or the generator is normally plenty) and level ground. Village and community halls almost always have more than enough room. For at-home parties, a garden marquee, garage conversion or a decent-sized living room all work — we set up in around 20 minutes and we're used to making the space work.
If you can add a shimmer wall backdrop behind the booth, allow a little extra width — it turns the whole corner into a feature and photographs beautifully.
Send us a photo of your room or the venue name on WhatsApp and we'll tell you straight away whether the space works and where we'd put the booth. We cover Essex, Kent, East London and Suffolk, and we've set up in just about every kind of space you can imagine.
At A Glance
Roughly 2m × 2m of clear floor space with about 2m of height, plus a little room in front for the entrance and queue. Most function rooms, halls and living rooms fit this easily.
No — just one standard plug socket nearby. No special circuits or generators needed at normal venues.
Yes to both. Marquees need power and level ground; at home, a good-sized living room, garage or garden marquee works well. We set up in around 20 minutes.
Visible but out of the main walkways — a corner or wall near a socket, ideally just off the dance floor so guests drift between the two all night.
