Planning a corporate event and looking for an original photo entertainment to make it memorable? Whether it's a gala, team building day or end-of-year party, the photo booth has become the go-to entertainment for business events in Western Switzerland. Discover our 10 ideas for bringing photo entertainment to your corporate events.
Why Photo Entertainment is #1 for Corporate Events
Unlike traditional entertainment (DJs, board games, karaoke), a corporate photo booth offers unique advantages: it builds connections between colleagues, generates shareable social media content, and leaves a physical keepsake that every participant takes home.
Based on our experience with Swiss companies, a photo booth generates an average of 150 to 300 photos during a 3-4 hour corporate event — that's as many moments of camaraderie captured and shared.
10 Photo Entertainment Ideas for Corporate Events
1. Company Gala & Prestige Evening
Your annual gala deserves entertainment to match. Set up a photo booth with an elegant backdrop (gold curtain, living wall) and classy props (bow ties, Venetian masks). Every team member leaves with a branded keepsake photo — a memorable gesture that builds belonging.
2. Team Building & Team Days
A photo booth is a natural icebreaker. During a team building day, it becomes a meeting point where teams mingle, pose together, and create shared memories. Add signs with company values for results that are both fun and unifying.
3. Product Launch & Marketing Event
Turn your guests into brand ambassadors! With a custom photo design featuring your new product or branding, every photo shared on social media becomes free advertising. A photo booth generates authentic content with viral potential.
4. Conference & Seminar
At conferences and seminars, the photo booth livens up coffee breaks and networking moments. Participants photograph themselves with speakers, colleagues from different departments, and build connections beyond the official program.
5. Christmas Party & End-of-Year Celebration
The company Christmas party is THE moment of the year to strengthen team spirit. A photo booth with festive props (Santa hats, garlands, snowflakes) adds a touch of magic. It's also the perfect way to create an original team greeting card.
6. Open Day
Welcome your visitors with an interactive experience! A photo booth during an open day creates a positive memory associated with your brand. Employees' families, clients, and partners leave with a tangible memento of their visit.
7. Company Anniversary & Milestone
10 years, 25 years, 50 years... Company anniversaries deserve celebration! Customize the photo design with the anniversary logo, key dates, and a special message. It's also the chance to create a photo wall retracing the company's history.
8. Trade Show & Exhibition Stand
Attract visitors to your stand with a photo booth! It's a traffic magnet that generates natural interactions. In exchange for the photo, you can collect participant contact details — a creative and non-intrusive lead generation tool.
9. New Employee Welcome (Onboarding)
Make new employee integration memorable! A photo booth during the welcome day creates a first team photo, instantly breaks the ice, and sets the tone for a warm, modern company culture.
10. After-Work & Informal Gathering
After-work events are the perfect chance to unwind with colleagues. A photo booth adds a playful dimension to these social moments, and the photos shared the next day fuel conversations and strengthen team bonds.
Photo Booth vs Professional Photographer for Corporate Events
A professional photographer captures the official moments (speeches, awards, group photos). The photo booth captures the spontaneous, relaxed moments. Ideally, combine both for complete coverage of your event.
| Photo Booth | Photographer | |
|---|---|---|
| Type of photos | Spontaneous, fun, participative | Posed, professional, editorial |
| Instant printing | Yes, every participant gets their photo | No, delayed delivery |
| Brand customization | Logo, colors, message on every photo | Not on individual photos |
| Operation | Self-service, guests help themselves | Requires an operator |
| Budget (Switzerland) | From CHF 499 incl. tax / 24h | CHF 1,500 - 3,000+ / evening |
