Planning a school formal
Melbourne DJ Hire work at school formals almost every week. These formals are usually organised by the school teachers or staff and on the rare occasion these school formals are planned by the students. When the teachers are running these school formals, they usually only think about the music and they may add on a photobooth for the students to take photos in. Or they could hire a professional photographer.
The Melbourne DJ is a must have at any formal as you will need someone to play the music so the students can dance and have some fun. There have been times however, where the school has booked a roaming photographer but the students do not have a space to take photos. There are a handful of schools who put a lot of effort into running their formals and set themes for the night and decorate the space with amazing centerpieces, lights and photography backdrops. Some schools even hire 2 photobooths so that the students dont have a wait a long time to take their photo, if the guest number is over 150 people it is definitely a good idea to hire 2 photobooth machines so that guests are not lining up for over 20 minutes to get their photo.
A very popular photography backdrop are the large balloon garlands and flower walls. The students have a space to take photos with their classmates in their gowns and suits and it is also a great spot for the photographers to be stationed at so that the student can get a professional photo.
There are some venues that have lovely draped curtains or feature walls and if your venue has a space like that you could use that as a photography wall. Venues like the Mornington Racecourse, Merrimut, Leonda has lovely curtains lining their walls so that students have a lot of space for their portraits. So if you are looking into booking a formal venue, then having the different spaces for students photos is very important.
