Elite Photobooth NE

I had a great experience with elite photobooth! They arrived the time they said they were going and were very quick with setting up! Omar was such a pleasure to work with esp when he helped designed a logo for the baby shower we were having. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone interested in having s photo booth for their event. It was so great that it was unlimited pictures and it printed out not one but Three copies for the guests. Omar also gave us a usb at the end to keep! Overall, there is nothing but satisfaction from me! Thank Omar!

We had a bad (surprisingly so) experience with Elite Photobooth. Two friends had a good experience with them and were happy with their experience with Omar, the owner, so that was good enough for me. He was very pleasant to deal with over email, flexible and professional, although at the end I didn’t hear back from him re: the custom logo but didn’t think anything of it b/​c of the recommendations.
The day of, his technical staff came to set-​up the booth, and informed me that they couldn’t manage to download the custom logo (that said the name of the event and the date), and offered us the Elite logo (not interested) or something else that the guy said would say «something with the word ‘freakin’ ’ in it» (also not interested). So, we had no custom logo on the photos – needless to say, this diminished their value as a souvenir from this event.
Second, and this also just completely sucked :-), they said nothing to us about ambient lighting (I had specifically asked a question about some of the other special lighting we were using, which Omar said would be no problem), and the first half of the evening, the photos came out disastrously – they all look overexposed and horrible. Three of us brought this to the attention of the attendant – who btw is not an employee of Omar, she is a temp through a staffing company his wife owns or has a relationship with?; this is how he usually staffs things – who said there wasn’t anything to do, but then I finally said «maybe we should turn off the lights in this part of the room» and this made a big difference; the photos were then completely dark in the background and the faces, while somewhat dark, at least weren’t overexposed. The attendant didn’t seem too engaged or to know much; not impressive.
I wrote a note to Omar telling him afterwards how disappointed we were, and he basically wrote me a note back saying that he was very sorry that it had not met my expectations, that as a new business they are constantly working on staffing. I suggested that the issue was not just that it didn’t meet my expectations, but that it shouldn’t have met *his* expectations – that the lack of logo was really a disappointment, and that his «staff» should be given clear instructions re: how to handle lighting, how to work with clients, etc. – and that really, he should be offering a partial refund. He wrote back saying that he was sorry things hadn’t worked out and he would send me a $ 150 refund (this was out of the $ 500 fee for the evening).
It was a bad enough experience – but then tonight, we went to another bat mitzvah, at which competing company had a fantastic set-​up, lighting designed to work well, a staff member who was enthusiastic and knew exactly how everything worked and how to work with people, tons of great props – a company, btw, that I had corresponded with, but hadn’t been impressed via email with how they replied to my inquiry about a Groupon package. It made me feel bad all over again about our choice (especially since we did not have a photographer for the evening; these were our only photographs) and our experience. And then my daughter said, «Our photo booth pictures didn’t have our names and the date on it». (I had been hoping she hadn’t noticed.)
All in all, this was a terrible experience. Based on my experience up until the party itself, I had been ready to recommend Omar and Elite to all our friends – when I am satisfied with a service or a product, I spread the word (my friend know me as a connector). Now, sadly, I need to spread the word to beware. And, I will be spreading the word re: how impressive the other company was that I saw tonight. (I didn’t have the heart to include their name in this review; that seemed too mean.)
Omar seems like a really nice guy, but I don’t think he’s got control of this business. It’s a shame. For us, obviously, this was a one-​time experience, and we can’t go back and recreate that evening and the decent photos that should serve as a fantastic memory.

I had the BEST experience with Elite Photobooth NE. Everyone at our wedding reception enjoyed the quick and simple process and the pictures came out quickly and beautifully. Omar was a pleasure to work with and was very courteous and responsive. Setup was quick and simple. I couldn’t have asked for better service! The attendant on duty was professional and very creative!
You cannot go wrong with this company!

I am so happy to find Elite Photobooth NE on Unilocal!Omar and his staff were simply amazing for my wedding last year. I plan to hire them again very soon now that we are expecting our first baby! Omar was polite, attentive to our wants and needs and made fabulous suggestions about where and when the best time would be to have them operate during the reception. His staff was professional, friendly and prompt. I couldn’t have asked more more. All of our guests raved about how awesome it was to have the photobooth at the wedding, and now we have a fantastic scrapbook and digital copies to help the memories last a lifetime (this is SO much better than having guests use disposable cameras on the table!) I wouldn’t hire any other company for a photobooth rental. Elite Photobooth NE truly is ELITE.

Attempted to hire Elite Photobooth for my daughter’s Sweet 16. The company arrived with a representative on his FIRST DAY of work ALONE. Tony took a while to set it up and when I asked if there was a problem he told me it was his first day on the job. A few minutes later, he said things were ready to do. So 100 kids line up at the booth and then nothing! No pictures would come out. There was a problem with the paper and he could not get the booth to work properly. He stood there for 45 minutes on the phone talking to the owner. He apologized to me saying it was his first day on the job. I’m sure if he was accompanied by someone else to help him out the problem would have been fixed in 10 minutes. He just had no experience and didn’t know what to do. Needless to say, I had quite a few disappointed teenagers. The booth was a surprise to my daughter and I felt so bad it turned out to be a flop. With all the photobooth companies out there, go elsewhere! Don’t take a chance on this company.

I had Omar Host my wedding Sept 1, 2013. Everyone loved the photo booth at the wedding, there was always a line and he was amazing. Omar handled my (rowdy) wedding guest very well, I went to another wedding with a different company and I’m so happy I choose Elite Photo Booth NE.
