SADIE isn’t just a photo booth; she’s the life of the party. This beautifully restored vintage glamper provides a chic and charming photo lounge experience, perfect for weddings and outdoor events.

Her picture-perfect exterior and luxurious interior create an unforgettable centerpiece that will have your guests lining up for their close-up.

Unleash Your Inner Rockstar

It’s your turn in the spotlight! Guests can grab a real guitar, get behind the drums, or take center stage with a mic in hand.

Posing against a backdrop collage of iconic vintage and modern album covers, this experience makes everyone feel like a music legend.

It’s loud, high-energy, and totally rock and roll.

The 360 Cinema Experience

Dynamic Video, Hollywood Style

This is the 360 video booth, elevated. We treat your guests like A-listers with a full red carpet entrance, professional lighting, amazing backdrops, and a curated set of VIP props.

The World is Your Backdrop

Green Screen Magic, No Backdrop Needed

Why limit your event to one location?

Our intelligent AI instantly removes the background and transports your guests anywhere you can imagine—from the Eiffel Tower to the surface of Mars.

This technology delivers a seamless, immersive photo without the need for a physical green screen, offering limitless creative freedom for any theme.

The Glam Booth

Effortless Elegance, Flawless Photos

Step in front of the camera and let us handle the rest. Inspired by celebrity parties, our Glam Booth uses a pro-level skin-smoothing filter and studio lighting to create stunning, timeless black-and-white portraits.

We hired Smiling Dog Entertainment for our formal fundraiser event and loved everything about the service they provided. They were professional and matched the formality of the event with their class. The 360 degree Photo Booth was a lot of fun for our guests and the end product of the video clips they produced were fun and professional, providing great mementos of the evening for our guests. I will definitely hire Smiling Dog Entertainment again!

I had the joy of working with Smiling Dog Entertainment this holiday season for two corporate work events. Using Smiling Dog Entertainment for a photobooth and additional decor in the lobby was perfect. Having Smiling Dog Entertainment be a streamlined and communicative vendor amidst all the hustle was amazing. I even had some last minute adjustments that they catered to flawlessly. Overall, I was extremely happy and appreciated this company.
