Photo Booth Hire at The Mill at Tileyard North
For couples planning an industrial-style wedding in Wakefield, photo booth hire at The Mill at Tileyard North is a great way to add some fun to a striking setting, and Selfie Star has already worked at the venue. Exposed brick, vaulted ceilings and a creative-quarter atmosphere make this one of the most distinctive spaces in West Yorkshire, and a well-chosen booth can make the most of it.
An industrial setting made for photos
Some venues need a lot of styling to come alive in pictures. The Mill already has the look: red brick, high ceilings, daylight in the afternoon and candlelight later on. That means the booth does not have to compete with the room. Instead it can lean into the character of the building, or deliberately contrast with it, depending on the style you want your prints to have.
About The Mill at Tileyard North
The Mill is a wedding and events venue on Tootal Street, on the edge of Wakefield city centre. It sits within Tileyard North, the creative industries hub created inside Rutland Mills – a Grade II listed complex of 19th-century mill buildings on the banks of the River Calder, beside The Hepworth Wakefield gallery. The mills stood derelict for many years before being repaired and repurposed, keeping much of the original fabric.
As Wakefield Council’s ceremony venue listing describes it, The Mill was once part of the city’s industrial centre. Today it offers:
- An open-plan space with exposed red brick and soaring vaulted ceilings
- Natural light during the day and candlelit evenings
- An outdoor courtyard and a terrace that can be used all year
- A menu built around Yorkshire farm-to-fork produce
- A listing on Wakefield Council’s register of ceremony venues, so you can marry and celebrate in one place
Choosing a booth for The Mill at Tileyard North
Glam Booth – contrast with the brick. Our Kardashian-style photo booth creates clean black and white portraits on a white backdrop with flattering beauty lighting. Against raw brick and steel, those crisp monochrome prints look deliberately editorial. If your wedding is all about modern style, this is the one we would point you towards. Staffed, from £650.
Vintage Booth – echo the heritage. The mill is 19th-century at heart, and our vintage photo booth hire brings a hand-crafted solid oak booth with a choice of backdrops that suits warehouse and heritage styling alike. Open-sided for groups, from £625, with a £25 upgrade to the Glam Booth available.
AI Photo Booth – for a creative crowd. Tileyard North is a creative hub, and the AI Photo Booth suits that mood. Guests can try AI backgrounds, artistic styles, avatars and face swap, with instant prints.
Party Pod and Digital Pod – all day. Wakefield is within our Party Pod area, so you can book the self-service Party Pod (from £425), which we drop off during the day and which runs all day with colour or black and white photos, backdrops and prints. Or choose the Digital Pod to send images straight to guests’ phones.

Wedding DJ and photo booth in Wakefield
An open-plan mill with high ceilings is a great space for a party. Our sister company EventsDJ provides wedding DJs who can fill it, and booking the DJ with your booth as our Wedding DJ & Photo Booth package saves money on booking separately. The Evening DJ package runs for 5 hours, and cold spark fountains and a sax player can be added – both look spectacular under a vaulted ceiling.

Planning tips for The Mill at Tileyard North photo booth
- Plan the floor with the venue. In an open-plan room, it is worth agreeing early with the venue’s team where the ceremony, dining, dancing and booth will sit, and how the room turns around between them.
- Use the courtyard and terrace. If guests will be outside for drinks, place the booth where it is visible from the doors so people find it as they come back in.
- Match the print design to the venue. An industrial look – simple type, monochrome tones – often suits The Mill. We will design your print to match your stationery.
- Open it with the evening. Many couples start the booth when evening guests arrive, keeping the energy up between the meal and the first dance.
- Lock in your date. Couples usually book 12–24 months ahead. A booking fee secures your date and the balance is due 14 days before.

We hired the selfie pod and it was great, everyone loved it and had lots of fun taking photos. Booking was easy and it was dropped off without issue. 😀
Selfie Star were excellent from start to finish - their communication was prompt and clear and set up on the day was extremely smooth and efficient. The Photo Booth itself was an absolute hit and such good fun. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks so much for such great service .
selfie star made our wedding!! run by two of the nicest people we have ever met, Wayne and sal went above and beyond for us to make our special day run as smoothly as possible. They even took all the stress away before hand and communicated with the hotel about arranging the room and making sure everything we had hired from them would fit, they contacted the tribute band we had coming to the wedding and made their set up easier by connect up to selfie stars equipment which made our turn around from the day in to the evening party much quicker! The dancefloor, star light back drop and light up shoots completely transformed our room, it looked amazing!! we also had the dancing with clouds and cold spark fire work for our first dance which was also looked amazing! selfie star also hosted our full day and was our DJ Which I believe made the day run so well. They made us feel very special and organised all the special parts of the day to make sure they went as well as they possibly could and really made the special moments count! THe music was brilliant they played a mixture of songs we asked for and then a mixture of songs from 80s 90s and now which was great the dancefloor was full of people all night! highly recommended this company they are fantastic, we also had the table selfie centerpiece aswell which we and all our guests had lots of fun with and captured loads of memories! Thank you Wayne and sal you were fantastic and we can't wait to have another party with selfie star!!!
we loved our photo booth for our wedding last month. Not only did we hire that from Selfie Star, we hired the DJ, venue uplighting and sparkler fountains. Wayne and Sally was very accommodating for our need after we had to change a few things and move our timeline forward which wasn't too much hassel for them. would 100000% recommend to anyone looking for entertainment for their special event. we also want to wish Wayne and Sally all the best in their business . Mr & Mrs Whelan
We met Wayne & Sally at a wedding fayre. They were both really lovely and approachable, discussing all of their options & packages. Their communication was excellent & their app is easy to use for updates, info on your package and payments. Having used photobooths before, I can say the tech from Selfie Star was the best quality we’ve seen! We had the ICON! Wayne on the night of our wedding was brilliant, super friendly & arrived in plenty of time for the start of the evening celebrations! He had a great attitude with all of our guests, creating a fab atmosphere and we all certainly had fun! We also added late to our booking an audio guestbook, which was no trouble and brilliant to use! Listening back to the messages has been a real highlight. The turnaround on the online photo gallery & audio messages was amazingly quick too, coming back in just a few days after our wedding! Would highly recommend to anyone for any function! Huge thank you! 5*!
Amazing evening hosted by Wayne, he was fantastic and the equipment, set up too! He had great choice of music l, kept everyone entertained and the selfie mirror was amazing highly recommend. They are great for any event! Made the night so special 5***** Customer service was amazing really friendly team. Thank you!
I can't express enough how thrilled we were with Selfie Star's photo booth and DJ services at my niece's wedding. The solid oak photo booth added a touch of tradition and elegance to the event, and it was non-stop fun throughout the evening. Sally and Wayne Baker are an incredible duo, engaging guests from both the USA and the UK, creating an unforgettable party atmosphere. Wayne's music kept the dance floor alive, and the audio guest book was a unique and cherished addition. Everyone at the wedding couldn't stop raving about the quality of the venue and the amazing atmosphere created by Selfie Star. Thank you, Sally and Wayne, for making Charlotte and Matthew's wedding an absolute blast. You truly are stars in your own right, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking to elevate their event experience!
What a cracking experience we had at a wedding yesterday with Selfie Star! Overall a friendly, humorous but professional service! He even let me take the horses head to the dance floor, I mean, what more could you want! Would absolutely recommend to a friend. You thoroughly deserve the top marks in this review!
Absolutely made our night having the led dance floor at our wedding. Wayne was fantastic, customer service second to none. Arrived on time, no hassle, looked AMAZING!!😍😍 Would highly recommend Selfie Star Events.
We met Sally and Wayne at a wedding fair and hiring them was the best decision ever ( despite already having a DJ provided within our wedding package at Aldwark Manor) we knew it would be an extra cost but we were willing to do this as we wanted Wayne as our DJ , and he was worth every penny, he made our wedding exactly what we wanted he listened to our preferences and tailored the music to our taste. The guests absolutely loved him. He also helped organise the dance floor which I wanted and provided letters. Sally on the photobooth was equally amazing, guests had such a laugh and kept Sally busy. Definitely a must have at any party. The added bonus of us receiving a copy of every photo taken that night and placed in a box was simply brilliant myself and my husband were able to look through these at our leisure and have a good giggle. So a massive thank you to both Sally & Wayne and if your looking for a top class DJ and photo booth look no further we highly recommend these guys they are the best.
Booked for our daughters wedding, booking process and communication all excellent Everyone had a great time in the photo booth, good quality pictures
I would like to thank and highly recommend Wayne Baker and Selie Star Events. I got to know Wayne around last Christmas time and remain good friends and business colleagues. I run an entertainment business myself and from time to time we need to depend on other services and djs to help us through busy or sick periods. Wayne has stepped in a many times for us and his work and setup is so professional. Wayne has provided a great service every time we have used him. Our clients have also left some great feedback. Here at MDG Entertainment we thrive on delivering a great product for a great value of money to individual events. It is hard to find in the business people like Wayne who work to our award winning standards. It is a pleasure to be able to use his service and know he will always deliver upon booking him. Many thanks Michael @ MDG Entertainment.
We hired Selfie Star for the evening of our wedding. It was fantastic, all of our guests enjoyed it very much!
Absolutely amazing DJ and photobooth service for our wedding! Communication beforehand was excellent and they made everything so easy and stress-free from start to finish. They arrived punctually, were incredibly professional, and did everything we asked for with no problem at all. The DJ kept the dancefloor full all night and was also a fantastic MC, helping the whole evening run smoothly and keeping the atmosphere lively and fun. The photobooth was such a hit with all our wedding guests too! We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment for our special day and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event.
Absolutely amazing! The best Photo Booth I’ve ever hired and the lady who brought it was such a lovely lady, my daughter even got her up for a selfie on the booth! 10/10 will absolutely book again at any given opportunity.
We booked Selfie Star Photobooths after seeing the photobooth in action at a wedding fayre. Booking with them was seamless and everything was so easy to access on the portal. On the day, set up was done with no issues whatsoever and our guests were free to enjoy the fun this brought to our evening. All of our guests commented on how fantastic the photobooth was and how well it was operated. It brought so much fun and energy to the evening and was loved by everyone. The photos were absolutely fantastic, we loved going through the prints and the digital copies of the photos! Absolutely incredible, thank you so much we are forever grateful.
We booked Selfie Star Photo Booth for our wedding and honestly it was one of the best investments we made. We went for the Kardashian filter to match our monochrome wedding theme and it looked incredible — the photos came out so stylish and elevated. Our guests absolutely loved it and were using it all night. The fact guests could have unlimited prints was amazing, and every print strip was personalised with our Mr & Mrs name and wedding date, with 3 photos on each print which looked so professional. Sally also shared a download link afterwards with all of the images, which was such a lovely touch. One of our favourite parts was coming home with a beautiful gift box containing copies of all the prints for us to add into our guest book and keep forever. Sally was fantastic throughout and everything ran so smoothly. We couldn’t recommend Selfie Star enough!
Could not recommend selfie star enough. Our guests absolutely loved the booth and then a week later we got all the photos which was amazing to see. Thank you for everything
We had the most amazing wedding day and being able to capture such fun photos with SelfieStar was amazing. The photo quality was fantastic and the team on the day were so fun and helpful. I’ve been to many other weddings and this is by far the best photo booth I’ve used - so I’m glad it was ours! Would definitely recommend 😄
We had a photobooth at our wedding, this went down really well with our Moulin Rouge themed evening reception. I would recommend without any hesitation great company to work with. Thankyou Tony and Stefan
