Barry and his Spotlight Photobooth was a great addition to our wedding festivities. The guest and families loved the fun and will cherish the pictures forever. We are very glad about decision to have this team apart of our special day!

We hired Flipside for both my son's and daughter's weddings. I could not be more pleased with them. Barry made it fun and is fantastic to work with. Thank you again for making my children's wedding day even more perfect.

Met Barry and his wife at a wedding show and liked how he was not pushing us to book right away. He asked pertinent questions and was seeking to understand more about our big day. We set up a meeting with him on a Saturday morning (Barry does a great job of working around your schedule) and discussed details and packages. We booked our date about 10 months in advance. A month before the wedding Barry set up a meeting with us to get all the final details in place and was able to accomadate all our ceremony and music requests (ex. Instrumental versions of songs, queuing at a certain point of a song). The whole night he kept the guests engaged and had the dance floor full! Couldn't thank flipside and Barry enough for all they did to make the wedding great.
