Creative Wedding Idea: Reality TV Style Confessional Booth
What if your wedding was the most dramatic finale ever?
Picture this: your guests, in full glam, stepping up to record their “in the moment interviews”, just like the ones on your favorite reality shows. With a Video Guest Book, you can capture hilarious, heartfelt, and candid moments that will be treasured forever.
What will your guests say without a filter?
Here’s how to make it happen!
Setting the Stage
When you rent your video guest book, you’ll want to set up the kiosk in a prime spot at your wedding venue. Think of a cozy corner with enough privacy to make guests feel comfortable spilling their secrets or sharing their most embarrassing stories. Decorate it with some plush cushions, chic drapery or a backdrop, and maybe even a fun sign that reads, "Guests Tell All”.
Start the conversation…
Now that your confessional booth is all set up, it’s time to guide your guests on what to share. You’ll want a mix of prompts that encourage everything from sweet sentiments to laugh-out-loud tales or hot takes.
The kiosk’s easy to use UX walks your guests through all the prompts, so it could’t be easier to capture this footage!
You can pick these prompts when you fill out your client portal, and they’ll be ready to go on the day of. Here are some prompts to consider:
The First Impression: "Describe how you first met the bride or groom. Were there any awkward moments?"
Secrets Revealed: "What’s a little-known fact about the bride or groom that you’re dying to share?"
Future Predictions: "Where do you see the happy couple in ten years? Any kids, pets, or outrageous adventures?"
Best Advice: "What’s the best piece of marriage advice you can give to the newlyweds?"
Epic Fails: "Share a funny story involving the bride or groom that they might not want us to know!"
Dance Moves: "Show us your best dance move that you’ll be busting out later!"
Who does it better?: "Who is the best cook/dancer/singer/DJ/shopper/kisser/lover?"
Love Language: "In one word, describe the newlywed. Only one!"
What’s in Your Pocket? "Pull out the most random thing you have with you today and explain why you have it."
Keeping It Light and Fun
Encourage your guests to let loose and have fun with their videos. The more relaxed and natural they feel, the more genuine and entertaining the videos will be. You could even add some props like goofy hats, oversized glasses, or funny signs to amp up the hilarity.
Capture the Moment
The Voast Video Kiosk features a ring light that keeps everyone looking their best. For the best sound quality, position the kiosk away from the DJ’s speakers. You don’t want to miss out on Aunt Linda’s epic rendition of “Livin’ on a Prayer” or your college buddy’s spot-on impression of you.
Editing the Highlights
After the wedding, send your Voast Kiosk back and our editors get to work on highlighting the best clips from your wedding. You’ll likely end up with a mix of touching messages and laugh-out-loud stories. You get ALL the raw clips so you don’t miss a thing (see a couple examples on this page)… even those stories that are not going to make it on the final coffee table book.
The Grand Reveal
If you really want to channel your inner reality TV producer, plan a special viewing party with close friends and family. Pop some popcorn, pour the bubbly, and get ready to laugh (and maybe cry) as you relive the best moments from your confessional booth.
Final Thoughts
A reality TV style confessional booth is a fantastic way to add an extra layer of fun and personality to your wedding. It’s a unique twist that allows your guests to feel like stars for a moment, and gives you priceless memories to cherish.
So go ahead, use this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to capture hilarious content.
Here’s to creating unforgettable memories and having a blast on your special day!
