Why Vancouver Event Planners Are Upgrading from Photobooths to the Glambot®

Photobooth fatigue is real. They're familiar and easy to install—but when your goal is to create a standout guest experience, familiarity isn’t always your friend.

And industry data backs this up: As photo booths saturate the market—now offered at over 80% of venues—booking demand is declining across North America, making it harder for traditional booths to deliver the “wow factor” or engagement they once did (Market Growth Reports, 2024).

Today’s guests expect more. So do your stakeholders. That’s why more event planners are making the switch to Vancouver Glambot® Experience: the cinematic, high-energy activation designed to turn moments into conversation starters, and entertainment into lasting brand value.

Below are 5 reasons you should consider upgrading to Vancouver Glambot® Experience for your next event:


1. Red Carpet Quality, Ready in Seconds

Photobooths provide a quick keepsake and certainly have their place. But guests crave something with more depth—something they’ll want to watch again and again.

Vancouver Glambot® Experience delivers that: a beautifully lit, slow-motion video paired with polished direction, and dramatic camera sweeps that feels like it belongs on the red carpet. 

It’s the same technology seen at events like the Oscars and Grammys, where celebrities like Brad Pitt and Ariana Grande showcase their looks in cinematic motion with the charismatic guidance of Cole Walliser . We bring that same energy—and that same polish—to your gala, fundraiser, or brand activation.

How your event gets enhanced:

  • Fresh, share-worthy content every time

  • No props required—just authentic moments and energy

  • Bespoke camera movements and poses for each guest, so every clip feels different

  • A premium visual style aligned with Vancouver’s luxury event standards

2. Entertainment that Doubles as Content Marketing


The dollars you spend on your entertainment budget should provide a return on that investment. Our team’s background in events and marketing means we know how to bring that ROI.

Each Glambot® video is delivered instantly to guests’ phones, fully branded and ready to post. It becomes a story they share that includes your event, your sponsors, and your message.

For organizers, this means:

  • Increased brand exposure during and after the event

  • Higher-quality user-generated content

  • Shareability without needing follow-up campaigns or editing

It’s also a powerful complement to media coverage and post-event recaps. In addition to creating memories, you’re generating assets.



3. More Than Attention—Meaningful Foot Traffic

Let's look at the impact during live events. Where photobooths might get a quick laugh, the Glambot® shifts the energy of the room. People cheer each other on. A crowd forms. Guests stay longer near the activation—which, when placed near bars, sponsor walls, or fundraising displays, drives results you can measure.

For event planners, this means:

  • More time spent near high-value areas (raffles, auctions, bars, branded installations)

  • Better guest flow and early engagement

  • A centrepiece activation that naturally supports your event’s layout



4. Easy to Run, Impossible to Miss


Planners and producers trust us to go beyond aesthetics and nail the execution.

With Vancouver Glambot® Experience you get:

  • A polished, professional team who handles everything end to end

  • Sleek setup with flexible footprint options

  • Seamless guest experience from directing to content delivery

We integrate cleanly with your timeline, your brand, and your environment—without taking over your event or requiring special technical support.

Thank you for being so organized and handling all the details. This has been a busy week and you made things easy for our team

5. Built for Modern Event Expectations

Yesterday’s entertainment isn’t going to cut it during holiday party and gala season. People have seen the same props and GIFs. They’re ready for something more engaging—and more refined.

Vancouver Glambot® Experience stands out because it’s:

  • Fully brandable with no props or gimmicks

  • Visually varied, with bespoke angles and poses for each guest

  • Designed for high-quality social sharing 

And while guests love the spotlight, planners love the results.
