Photo Booth Hire at Thorpe Park Hotel & Spa
Selfie Star offers photo booth hire at Thorpe Park Hotel & Spa for weddings, school proms and private parties, and it is a hotel our team has worked at for both weddings and proms. Our base is in Swillington, so we know this corner of east Leeds well, and we know how much a booth adds to a night in one of the hotel’s function suites.
Photo booth hire at Thorpe Park Hotel: weddings and proms
Thorpe Park Hotel hosts two very different kinds of celebration that both suit a photo booth. At a wedding, the booth becomes the evening’s meeting point, where aunts, old school friends and the best man’s colleagues end up in the same shot. At a prom, it is often the busiest corner of the room, with friendship groups queuing to capture their outfits before the night is over. In both cases the instant prints are what people remember: something physical to take home, rather than another photo lost on a phone.
About Thorpe Park Hotel & Spa
Thorpe Park Hotel & Spa is a modern four-star hotel on the eastern outskirts of Leeds, at Century Way on the Thorpe Park business park near Austhorpe and Cross Gates. It is close to the M1, which makes it easy for guests coming from across Yorkshire.
- The Thorpe Suite – the hotel’s banqueting hall, licensed for weddings and the space for larger receptions and parties.
- The Gallery Suite – a smaller function room, also licensed, with its own private breakout area.
- Civil ceremonies – the hotel holds a wedding licence, so ceremony and reception can stay in one building.
- Gardens – landscaped gardens behind the hotel, used for wedding photographs.
- Rooms and spa – guest bedrooms including four-poster and honeymoon suites, and an on-site spa.
The style is contemporary and comfortable rather than historic, which gives you a neutral setting to dress however you like – and a clean canvas for any booth.
Leeds wedding photo booth hire: which booth for Thorpe Park?
Glam Booth
Modern hotel suites and black and white portraits work brilliantly together. Our Glam Booth is a Kardashian-style photo booth with a white backdrop and beauty lighting that flatters everyone, from the bride’s grandmother to a group of sixth formers in prom dresses. Staffed, from £650.
AI Photo Booth
For proms especially, the AI Photo Booth is a hit. Guests can drop themselves into AI backgrounds, turn into artistic styles or avatars, or try face swap – and each image prints instantly. It is staffed, so the attendant keeps things moving when the queue builds.
Vintage Booth
If your wedding styling is softer or more rustic, our vintage photo booth hire brings a hand-crafted solid oak booth and your choice of backdrop into the suite. From £625, upgradeable to the Glam Booth for £25.
Party Pod and Digital Pod
Thorpe Park is well within our Party Pod area. The self-service Party Pod is dropped off during the day and runs all day, from £425, with colour and black and white photos, backdrops and prints. The Digital Pod sends photos straight to guests’ phones instead.
What’s included with staffed booths
- Three hours as standard, with extra time at £150 per hour

Planning tips for Thorpe Park Hotel
- Check which suite you have. Ask the hotel’s wedding or events team where the booth will go in the Thorpe Suite or Gallery Suite, ideally near the dance floor.
- For proms, plan the arrival rush. Opening the booth as students arrive captures outfits while they are still pristine. Talk to the school or prom committee about timings and the room plan.
- For weddings, link it to the evening. Opening as evening guests arrive gets everyone mingling.
- Send your design details early. Logos, colours, names and dates help us create your personalised print.
- Secure your date. Couples usually book 12–24 months ahead. A booking fee holds the date, with the balance due 14 days before the event.

Booked for our daughters wedding, booking process and communication all excellent Everyone had a great time in the photo booth, good quality pictures
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 hired Selfie Star for the evening of our wedding. It was fantastic, all of our guests enjoyed it very much!
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.
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 .
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.
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!
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.
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.
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
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.
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 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*!
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.
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!
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. 😀
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 😄
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!
