01 · Planning Ahead

Booking & Planning

How far in advance should I book?

We'd recommend getting in touch as early as possible — popular dates, especially in peak season (May–September and December), tend to book up 6–12 months ahead. That said, we do our best to accommodate shorter notice wherever we can, so it's always worth asking.

How do I secure my date?

Once you're happy with your bespoke package, your date is secured with a deposit and a signed contract. Until then, dates are held on a first-come, first-served basis.

Do you offer packages?

Every Moment Lab booking is tailored to the event. We'll put together a bespoke package based on your date, venue, guest count, and any add-ons you'd like — so you only pay for what suits your day.

Can I make changes after I've booked?

Of course. Life happens, plans shift. As long as we have enough notice, we're happy to adjust timings, backdrops, or add-ons in the lead-up to your event.

Do you travel outside Newcastle?

Yes — we cover Newcastle and the wider North East as standard, and we're happy to travel further for the right event. Just mention your venue in your enquiry and we'll confirm.

02 · On the Day

When We Arrive

How long does setup take?

We arrive 60–90 minutes before your booth is due to open, fully set up, test everything, and make sure it's ready to go before your guests arrive. Packdown takes around 45 minutes at the end of the hire.

How much space do you need?

Roughly 2m x 2m of floor space, with a ceiling height of at least 2.2m. If your venue is tighter than that, get in touch — we can usually work something out.

What about power?

A single standard plug socket within 5m of the setup location is all we need.

Will someone be with the booth the whole time?

Yes — every booking includes a dedicated Moment Lab attendant on-site throughout your hire. They'll run the booth, help guests, keep prints flowing, and make sure every shot looks its best.

Can we have the booth set up earlier than it starts?

Absolutely. If your venue has access restrictions or you'd like the booth styled and ready well before guests arrive, let us know — we'll build it into the plan.

03 · The Keepsakes

Photos & Prints

How many prints do guests get?

Unlimited. Every guest in every photo walks away with their own print — no restrictions, no "one per group."

What size are the prints?

You choose — classic strip (2x6) or postcard (4x6). Both are printed on premium photo paper using professional dye-sublimation technology, which means they're smudge-proof, water-resistant, and built to last.

Can we personalise the prints?

Yes. Every print includes a custom design — your names, date, event, logo, or whatever you'd like. We'll share proofs with you before the day.

How do guests get the digital versions?

A QR code on the booth screen sends their photo straight to their phone within seconds — ready to share however they like.

When do we get all the photos?

Your full digital gallery is delivered within 72 hours of your event. Every photo, full resolution, yours to keep and share.

04 · Just in Case

The Unexpected

What if we need to cancel?

We'll always do our best to work with you. Our full cancellation and rescheduling terms are outlined in your contract — if you'd like more detail before booking, just ask.

Do you have insurance?

Yes — we hold full public liability insurance, and we're happy to share documentation with your venue if they require it.

Still Curious?
