Masters of Fun

Dave is amazing! Very professional and cooperative, really a pleasure to work with! His staff at my wedding reception was also very nice and attentive. The flip books we ordered were amazing and a huge hit at my wedding! All my guests LOVED the unique idea, and that it wasn’t just a photo booth! So if you want a unique, amazing favor– hire this company for your wedding reception needs, you won’t be disappointed!

This flip book took my «photo booth» to a new level… why bother doing the same old photo booth that EVERYONE is doing, the flip book station was even more exciting for my guests. Not only did Masters of Fun sweep in, set up and literally got nearly ALL my 200 guests captured in flip books… but my guests all loved the take-​a-​way from the wedding. The Maters of Fun were professional, completely reasonable and mostly FUN for my guests. I highly recommend them for your next event to go beyond the expected!

Photo booths are so last year. Flip books are the way to go. We got married last month at the Central Park Boathouse in Manhattan and these flip books were the hit of the party. All of our guests were raving about it and many of our guests didn’t even know that these existed. Dave from Masters of Fun did a great job at communicating with us before the wedding with the design of our flip books. In the end, the design of the flip books were awesome. The only downside was that during the event, they had to shut down 15 minutes at time, here are there, so that they could catch up because SOOOO MANY of our guests were doing the flip books. I definitely recommend using Masters of Fun as a vendor for your event/​wedding. Your guests will be impressed!

We hired Masters of Fun for our wedding (2÷14÷15); we asked for the FlipBooks service. Hands down, this was the BEST part of our wedding! First of all, Dave Pantone, the owner, was extremely professional, courteous, genuine, funny, and willing to work with us. He answered all of his emails in less than 12 hours, and was forthright with all of the information. The company offered us many different payment options, with a clear and concise contract. They were friendly, on time, and wonderful.
This was the only part of our wedding where we had absolutely NO complaints. Aside from the professionalism, all of our guests were so excited and had a blast with the FlipBooks. If I could rate this company 6 stars, I would.

Once again great photographs for another 8^th Grade graduation party. The kids were very happy.

We hired them for our daughter’s first birthday a few weeks back and everything was freaking awesome! We did a princess theme for her party and we were looking for some type of entertainment that would kind of go along with the theme. When we spoke to Tiffany and Dave at Masters of Fun, she informed us that they do this theme a lot with their green screen photo booth and have a bunch of options to choose from. And boy, she wasn’t kidding! I seriously cannot believe they had so many princess and castle and magic wand type backgrounds for the girls to choose from and plenty of other wild things for the boys and the rest of our adult guests and it was really cool seeing everyone have a blast.
Best part of it was the staff was exceptionally friendly, (kudos to Steve and Jessica) and really had the patience of saints when it came to handling the little rug rats (it’s no easy task to get 25 kids, anywhere from ages 1 – 7 to look straight at the camera and not the funny looking guy with the wig, make up, and oversized shoes walking by) but they somehow did it. They even gave us digital copies of all the photos they took which were a really nice added bonus we were not expecting. I would hire these guys all over again without thinking twice because not only did they bust their humps (the kids put them through the ringer!) but they did their best to make everyone happen– and they accomplished it!

I am not one to write reviews too often, but I feel that Masters of Fun really deserves one because we were very happy and impressed with everything they offered.
We hired Dave who runs the company and his team to do a photo booth for photo favors and setup with a green screen and a bunch of digital backdrops (you know, like putting pictures in frames and key chains and such) for our Nephew’s Bar Mitzvah a few weeks back in NYC (it was a surprise gift that only not even his mom was in on!)
Dave is a constant professional and delivered on everything he promised. I really liked the fact that he was not pushy and treated us like old friends from the very beginning until the last minute of the Bar Mitzvah and not to just «book us» like some of the other companies I spoke with. He had no problem spending as much time with me both on the phone and answered emails promptly (he usually got back to me in about an hour or two which was very quick).
The attention to detail and the level of equipment he was telling me that he uses (I am in graphic design and printing) was really what I was looking for and I knew the pictures would be really sharp, and they were.
Dave called me about two weeks before the party to ask if we needed any custom backgrounds designed to coincide with Sam’s theme which was a club like environment with heavy emphasis on 80’s rock and roll (what can I say, the kid has a good choice in music, like his olé’ uncle). So aside for the hundreds they had, they added about another 20 or so for his theme. Really cool stuff!
The kids and all the adult guests (about 200 people total) had an absolute blast and Dave promised that on average, each guest will go home with 2 or 3 different prints and he delivered on that promise. The staff was dressed professionally, and I can see that these guys were seasoned vets in their line of work (they came almost two and a half hours early to setup and even had the caterer move one of the big spot lights that were overhead there setup because they told them it will dramatically affect the picture quality). Though the caterer wasn’t too pleased and gave them a bit of a rough time, the staff sought me out and I had the caterer take care of. I can’t tell you how much I appreciated that initiative because I don’t think anyone else would have done that and the photo quality would have suffered.
I can honestly say that if you want a group of guys who not only know what they are doing, but are truly respectful and a lot of fun to work with, then you should hire them. We have three years to go before its Jacob’s turn (our son) and we will certainly call them first. Thank you again for the great time and service!

I heard of Masters of Fun while my friend was planning her wedding. They provided the photo booth and also did these cool flip books on her special day! She was really excited to have something different for her guests :)
The staff was really friendly and nice to the guests and were punctual in their arrival and set up. Dave is the main guy who owned the company and he was professional and serious about the quality of his products. Also because he had additional staff people with him, rather than one person who runs everything, his workers actually were around to walk around to the tables make sure those who didn’t get to the booth got a chance before the night was out.
I know she had some other options originally (because we also had friends who offered photo type services at weddings), but i’m glad she went with the flip books. These were really cool and a nice quality feel. I hadn’t seen anything like it (and I’ve been to 6 weddings just these past 6 months.). We had a lot of fun that night and even got the busy bride in some of the pictures! There were some fun props so we got to take tons of pictures! Maybe too many. lol =P
Don’t know that I’m getting married anytime soon, but I would recommend them!

We had an absolutely horrific experience with this company. We used their photo flip book service for our wedding on Park Avenue in NYC. The wedding was held at the Harold Pratt House which functions as the council on foreign affairs during the week. This a very prestigious organization and venue. The short version of the story is that Masters of Fun came and provided their service but damaged the hard wood floors with the table and staples they used to assemble the booklets. When approached by the staff of the venue at the end of the evening he cursed at them and left abruptly refusing to accept responsibility for the damage and even though he was the only vendor that functioned in that room. Dave presented the venue with a certificate of insurance but he refused to submit a claim to have the damage covered. The long winded completely inappropriate emails that followed were not only disturbing and incoherent but proved completely unproductive. In the end it was taken out of my husband and my security deposit and were got stuck losing $ 900 on our wedding for damage that he caused. Dave is unstable and without conscience. They are banned from every doing an event at the Pratt house again and I do not under any circumstances recommend this company.

This review should be ZERO stars!!!
We used them for a wedding last September and although the service we hired them for was provided we found several issues associated with the service and staff as follows.
1) Staff was dressed unprofessionally
2) Staff was consuming alcohol during the event
3) Staff was flirting with several female guests making them feel uncomfortable
4) Staff was rude to the facilities staff when they were asked to put the equipment in a safe location.
When we addressed these issues during the event, the staff was very dismissive of us and told us we were over reacting and to just enjoy ourselves.
In reviewing the quality of the books provided to the guests we were dissapointed in the overall quality of how they were prepared. The pages were misaligned and several had very sharp points due to the staples. Additionally we know we are missing the duplicate copies of the oohs we were promised. Lastly the master video we were promised took months to finally arrive. Again the quality was poor.
I don“t know how this company stays in business in the competitive NYC wedding market but clearly we would NEVER use them again nor would we recommend them to anybody.
BE AWARE AND STAY AWAY!!!

We worked with Dave from Masters of Fun for our son’s Bar-​Mitzvah. We used the airbrush service on shirts and hats for party favors and they were an absolute hit… kids loved them. The airbrush artist & assistant did a fantastic job keeping up with volume of kids and production time throughout party. Dave, the owner, was easy to contact & very professional. Top notch service.

We recommend you to use Masters of Fun, they rock! We did a flipbook booth for our 2 daughters’ b’not mitzvah and they were great. Everyone got a flipbook and really had a lot of fun. Dave and his staff are wonderful and professional. We were very happy with the service. Thanks Dave!

This group is as «Good as it gets! Woohoo!»
We used the Airbrushing for our Boys Communion Party, the service, the product and the quality were excellent!
The kids/​tweens enjoyed it very much but the older kids (by that I mean adults)
absolutely enjoyed it the most!
Many took business cards and everyone commented on what a great idea! We even heard feedback from people who weren’t at the party but heard about it or saw something that was made.
Would definitely use again and highly recommend!

We worked with Masteres of Fun for our photo booth, which was a total hit at our wedding! I worked with Dave. At one point we found out that the booth that we originally booked wouldn’t fit in the elevator of our venue, and he quickly figured out a way to get us the booth that would work for us. He’s also really fast with responding to emails, which is always a good thing for the planning process! The booth came with a scrap book, blank sheets for our guests to decorate, and an attendant to monitor the booth and help guests cut the photos. Photo strips print out with duplicates (one set for us and one for the guests to take home). We had some props layed out on the table, and the guests took it from there. We have some funny pics! :)

If you are looking for the original photo booth then look no further! This company is great! The owner’s name is Dave and he is super nice and accommodating!
They set up, ran and broke down this photo booth with no problems! They take the real pictures as if you were on a board walk. Four vertical shots of you and your friends doing whatever! He is extremely reasonable considering you are given unlimited photos, an attendant to set up, run and break down the photo booth and an amazing album that you attendant puts together for you! You even get a mailed CD of all of the pictures taken by your rented photo booth!
I really couldn’t be happier. Everyone commented on how great this extra feature was and it is a great idea for any party! Very professional and courteous. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
