Jollybooth in short

Jollybooth is a family-run photo booth hire business in Brookside, Telford, covering weddings, birthdays, proms and corporate events since 2013. Set prices are its calling card: a party package and a wedding package each with an attendant through the hire, prints, an album and a USB stick. The business reports more than a thousand events behind it and names Telford-area wedding venues that recommend it.

Google reviews give the firm five stars across a small handful of ratings, and full public liability cover with PAT-tested electrics is stated, with certificates on request. In our opinion that mix of set prices, stated cover and a long local record is why Jollybooth leads this table. The gaps are published company details, which the site does not carry, and a fuel charge for cover beyond the local area.
