I recently worked with Mae Photo Booths for a sweet 16 birthday party and it was an excellent experience! The communicating was easy, clear, and always professional. The service was timely and thoughtful—Mr. Brown arrived 2 hours early to prep, as promised. Mr. Brown also asked questions to understand what we were looking for and offered suggestions throughout the planning process and the day of the event that enhanced the experience significantly. Likewise, the pricing was reasonable, especially for the high quality of the customer service, set up, and final photos product. I’d highly recommended Mae Photo Booths and will absolutely hire them again.
