We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Extraordinary Entertainment for our wedding! From start to finish, they were incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional, making the entire process smooth and stress-free. The setup and breakdown of the photo booth were seamless, allowing us to fully enjoy our day without a hitch.What truly made them stand out was their warm and welcoming approach. Every single guest — from kids to grandparents — felt comfortable and excited to use the booth, and it quickly became one of the highlights of the evening. The props were fun, the photos were high-quality, and the team made sure everything ran smoothly while adding so much positive energy to the event.We’re so grateful for Extraordinary Entertainment’s role in creating such a fun and memorable experience.
