Spill the Tea: Creating a Confessional Booth is the newest wedding trend

If you’re planning an event—whether it’s a wedding, a milestone birthday, or a corporate gathering—you know that every detail matters. You’ve picked your venue, sorted the seating chart, and figured out the menu. But then you realize… there’s that one room. The extra side room, tucked-away space, or unused corner that isn’t part of the main action.

Instead of letting it sit empty, why not turn it into something unforgettable?

Enter: the Confessional Booth.

Why a Video Confessional Booth Works

Think of it as a private space where guests can slip away from the noise, relax, and speak freely into a camera. In the quiet, people open up. They share heartfelt stories, hilarious memories, and maybe even a few secrets they wouldn’t say on the dance floor.

It’s like a photo booth—but with depth, emotion, and sound. Instead of just silly props and smiles, you get voices, laughter, and raw personality captured forever.

How to Create a Video Confessional Booth

Here’s how you can make it work at your event:

1. Choose the Right Spot
Look for a space that’s slightly out of the way, somewhere guests won’t feel like the whole party is watching them. It could be a coat room, a side office, or even a curtained-off section of the venue.

2. Set the Scene

• Keep it cozy: add a stool or curtain to define the space.

• Include soft lighting (string lights or a warm lamp work great)

• If it’s a wedding, you can add florals, candles, or framed photos

• If it’s corporate, add branded signage or props that reflect the theme

3. Make It Easy to Record
The key to a great confessional booth is effortless recording. If guests feel intimidated by complicated gear, they won’t use it. That’s where a solution like the self-service Voast Video Booth comes in: it’s shipped to your venue, sets up in minutes, and records high-quality video and audio with no crew needed.

4. Encourage Guests to Participate
Give them prompts to get started, such as:

• “What’s your favorite memory with [couple’s name]?”

• “What’s the best piece of advice you have for the newlyweds?”

• “What’s one thing you’ll never forget about this event?”

5. Enjoy the Magic Later
After the event, you’ll have a smattering of clips from your guests throughout the night: emotional, funny, and totally unscripted. The kind of content that reminds you exactly how your event felt.

The Best Part

A confessional booth doesn’t just fill an empty space, it creates an unique experience your guests will remember. And years later, you’ll be so glad you turned that “extra room” into the heart of your event’s memories.
