Giggle Booth franchise

Giggle Booth is the first and only specialist wedding photo booth hire company in the UK, supplying portable bespoke photo booths and props to wedding venues, and creating personalised guest books and gift options from the photographs taken during booth hire.

Each year, Giggle Booth franchisees attend thousands of weddings across the UK, capturing fun and comical memories for the married couple and their guests, while yielding a healthy income for themselves.

Giggle Booth franchisees consult with the couple prior to the day to tailor the photo booth experience to their requirements. On the day itself, franchisees deliver, set up and host the booth, assisting guests to use the booth and props to capture unique memories of the couple’s big day.

The ideal Giggle Booth franchisee will enjoy meeting new people and being an integral part of the couple’s special day. Part of the Giggle Booth experience requires an initial consultation to discuss the customer’s preferences and wishes for their wedding day, and the ideal franchisee will be flexible and willing to assist the couple in their personal preferences for their Giggle Booth experience.

Giggle Booths are hired out for between 4 and 4.5 hours actual usage time, depending on the package selected, and are attended by franchisees throughout the hire of the booth to assist and encourage guests to use the booth and to make sure that it is being properly treated.

No previous business experience is required, but a great attitude is essential. Franchisees should conduct themselves in a cheerful and friendly manner to make the experience as fun and memorable as possible for the couple and their guests. Patience is an important characteristic for a Giggle Booth franchisee, keeping in mind that weddings and alcohol often go hand in hand, making for lively guests and a fun time!

Giggle Booth franchisees attend an initial 3-day training course where they will learn everything necessary to equip them to run their business successfully and profitably.

Following the training course, franchisees are given full access to the Giggle Booth online training and support program, ‘Booth Butler University’, which includes both in-person and online training. Franchisees will be appointed their own Business Growth Manager and will receive telephone coaching, mentoring, and encouragement to pursue their personal goals for their business.

Franchisees will also receive ongoing bookings to their designated area through the Giggle Booth’s central reservations team, as well as their own website, customer and booking management software, and branded marketing materials to assist them with promoting their business and receiving maximum bookings for their booths.

The founding of Giggle Booth

Winners of the British Wedding Awards in 2015 and 2017, Giggle Booth is the brainchild of Dave Gillard, founder and CEO, who started the business during the recession in 2009.

From there, Giggle Booth has gone from strength to strength, making public their intentions in 2012 to franchise, and continually expanding and opening more branches across the UK.
