PicMeUp

PicMeUp is a photo booth rental company in Châtelaine, Geneva, that says it serves all of Switzerland. It rents touchscreen booths with instant printing for weddings, birthdays, Christmas parties and company events, and its package is turnkey: the team delivers, sets up, supervises during the event and takes the booth away afterwards. The site is published in English and French, which helps a couple planning from abroad.

What the package includes

The English home page lists six points under the heading of why to choose PicMeUp:

1. Advanced technology: booths with intuitive touchscreens and instant printing.
2. Total customization: the client's logo, personalized messages and more.
3. Fun accessories: a range of props to make the photos more entertaining.
4. 400 photos included: the package includes 400 printed photos.
5. Digital photo delivery: the photos are sent in digital format directly after the event.
6. Full service: delivery, setup and pickup are included.

The wedding section of the page describes the booth as an entertainment area for guests, with personalized choices, thematic backgrounds, fun accessories and custom printed photo frames for the newlyweds. In practice that means the print layout can carry the couple's names or wedding date and the backdrop can be chosen to suit the room. The FAQ confirms the customization options in the same terms: themed backgrounds, specific accessories and custom printed photo frames.

Sharing is covered too. The FAQ says the booths allow email collection and instant photo sending as well as online sharing, and the how-it-works section says guests can take photos, print them instantly and share them on social media. For a wedding with guests from several countries, email delivery from the booth means each guest leaves with a digital copy as well as a print.

The same booths serve company clients, and the corporate section speaks of inaugurations, ceremonies and year-end receptions, with email collection pitched as a way to strengthen customer engagement. A client-logo band sits under the heading "Ils nous font confiance" (they trust us) on the French page, and the French version also links a blog that the English menu does not show. For couples, the corporate work matters mainly as a sign that the team is used to formal venues and fixed schedules.

How booking and the day work

The site sets out the process in four steps. First, the couple contacts PicMeUp to discuss what they need and book. Second, the team handles everything from delivery to setup. Third, guests take photos, print them and share them. Fourth, at the end of the event the team collects the equipment and remains available for support after the event.

The FAQ adds a detail that matters on the day: the service is turnkey, and PicMeUp says it takes care of setup, supervision during the event and takedown. That answers a question many couples forget to ask, namely whether someone keeps an eye on the booth while the party is running.

Booking runs through a free quote form. It asks for full name, email, phone, the event address, a billing address, the event type (corporate or private), start and end dates, start and end times and a message. A separate contact form takes a name, email, phone and message. The FAQ recommends booking at least 2 to 3 months in advance, especially in peak periods such as the wedding season and the year-end holidays.

The address on the site is Avenue Edmond-Vaucher 15, 1219 Châtelaine, Geneva, with the email info@picmeup.ch and the phone number +41 22 900 00 44.

What the reviews say

The home page claims more than 400 events and more than 160K smiles on camera, and a Google widget shows 37 reviews. Several relate to weddings or to the service couples care about. One reviewer wrote in English that they had the booth at their wedding and it was just perfect, with physical and online photos and fun props. Another thanked the team for their December event at the Four Seasons and wrote that PicMeUp handled delivery, setup and coordination with the hotel perfectly, so they had nothing to worry about and their guests were delighted. A third praised the quality of the photos, the fun for guests on the day and the flawless service of Riccardo, the only team member named on the page. Others mention service, installation, photo quality, pickup and organization without a single complaint, and good feedback from guests during the event.

For couples marrying at a hotel, the Four Seasons review is the useful one: it shows a supplier that handled the coordination with the hotel itself, which saves the couple a round of emails.

What the site leaves open

PicMeUp publishes no prices. Everything runs through the quote form, which asks for the dates, times and event address. The site does not say whether delivery outside the Geneva region costs extra, which matters for a wedding in Valais, the Bernese Oberland or German-speaking Switzerland. It does not state a deposit, a cancellation rule or a minimum rental length. It does not say how many hours the supervision covers, how much floor space the booth needs, or whether additional prints can be added once the 400 included in the package run out.

The digital delivery is promised directly after the event, but the page does not say by which means (download link, gallery or email) or for how long the files remain available. These are simple questions for the first email, and since the site itself is in English, writing in English is the obvious starting point.

Who it suits

PicMeUp fits couples marrying in or around Geneva and the Lake Geneva region who want a booth that is delivered, supervised and removed without any work on their side, and who would rather deal with a supplier whose site is in English. Hotel weddings are a natural match given the review about coordinating with the Four Seasons. The included 400 prints and email sharing suit a mixed international guest list that wants both a print for the evening and a digital file to take home. The caveats: no published prices, no stated terms, and no word on travel costs for venues far from Geneva, so a couple comparing suppliers should ask for a written quote that spells out the delivery and the hours covered.
