Wednesday 9 July 2025

At Jellybean Photo Booth, we’re not just about fun props and unforgettable experiences – we’re also about raising the bar for the wedding and events industry. Over the years since our founding back in 2016, we’ve earned a reputation for delivering consistently outstanding customer service, and that’s been recognised not only by our clients but by the industry itself through multiple prestigious awards and accolades. But we don’t just win awards – we support them, sponsor them, and judge them too. Because we believe that to make a difference, you have to give back.

Our focus on customer service and the support has been at the heart of everything we do here at Jellybean. Everywhere you look we make it easy to get in touch whether it be social media, live chat, WhatsApp, our showroom or even at Wedding Fayres. We are the largest most recognised, most trusted, and highest rated photobooth company here in South Yorkshire.

Award-Winning and Proud

We’re incredibly proud to be the iDo Wedding Awards 2025 Winner for Best Photo Booth in Yorkshire – an honour that means the world to us. Our whole team attended the glamorous awards night at Sheffield City Hall back in May, and it was a moment we’ll never forget. Natasha even brought one of our cheeky bananas on stage with her – because when you’re winning, why not do it the Jellybean way?!

The cheers and applause from fellow suppliers across the industry were overwhelming, and the love in the room reminded us why we do what we do. We were also thrilled to support the event with two of our Magic Mirrors at the entrance, helping to capture magical memories for guests from the start of the night.

Our recognition doesn’t stop there. We’ve proudly won the North of England Wedding Awards three times (up to 2022), a reflection of the trust couples place in us across the North. But in 2023 and 2024, Stacey; our incredible company director took a step back from the limelight and turned her attention to giving back. She became one of the awards’ judges, dedicating four solid weeks each year to reviewing entries from hundreds of finalists. This wasn’t just about ticking boxes – it was about upholding customer service as the gold standard in our industry and truly seeing some of the amazing work our industry put in.

Being a judge has allowed us to contribute meaningfully to the reputation and standards of the wedding world. It’s not just a line on a CV – it’s a commitment to ensuring that excellence is recognised and celebrated properly.

Other Accolades We’re Proud Of

We’ve built our reputation from the ground up – and it shows:

  • Highest-rated Photo Booth company in Yorkshire on TrustPilot
  • Top 3 rated Photo Booth company in Sheffield for the last 5 years
  • 2025 Finalist for Best in Exhibition at the iDo Wedding Exhibitions
  • 2024, 2023, 2022 & 2020 Finalist for Photobooth at the iDo Wedding Awards.
  • Number 1 booked & searched Photo Booth company in South Yorkshire on BrideBook.

These accolades aren’t just badges for our website – they’re a daily reminder of the trust our clients place in us, and the pride we take in every event. And it’s took some hard work over the years to get there. But the difference is, we’re a full time business doing what we do best. We have the dedicated time to support each and every customer from initial booking, all the way up to their celebration.

Supporting Our Community – Beyond Booths

At Jellybean, we know our responsibilities go beyond weddings and parties. That’s why we’ve proudly supported our local community through meaningful sponsorships:

  • Steel City Dons Football Club – Proud sponsors since 2024, helping to support grassroots football in Sheffield. With their amazing kit (Jellybean Pink for 2025), along with supporting their events and fundraising efforts.
  • Sheffield Children’s Hospital Snowflake Campaign – Fundraising and support for over 6 years and counting raising thousands of pounds each year.
  • We’ve also provided Photo Booth services at the Hospital’s award ceremonies, light switch-ons, and community events, helping bring smiles to some of the most deserving families

Investing Back Into the Industry

We’re passionate about driving the wedding and photo booth industry forward. That’s why we’re working on an exciting new project: a networking, training, and support hub for photo booth operators across the North of England.

This initiative will:

  • Offer training on software, hardware and most importantly – customer service.
  • Include quarterly networking events to support collaboration over competition along with a way to collaborate as businesses in what is a very open industry to ensure each business meets a minimum standard.
  • Feature expert speakers, business growth workshops, and even a new marketplace and booking tool to connect suppliers with couples in a smarter way

We want to raise the standard for all – because when the industry thrives, we all do.

The Team Behind the Booths

A huge part of our success is thanks to our incredible team of Jellybeaners. Unlike many suppliers who rely solely on freelancers or casual weekend staff, our team is fully employed, properly trained, and fairly paid. We do our own awards at the end of the year and look after each and every one of them. We don’t just put a single face on our social media; we celebrate and showcase our amazing team each and every day – so you can get to know them before they even see you!

This means you’re getting not only a polished experience for your guests but also a team that’s invested in every single event. They’re the heart and soul of what we do, and we make sure they’re looked after the way they deserve. We couldn’t do it without them.

Why It Matters

Anyone can offer a photo booth. But not everyone can offer peace of mind, reliability, and a team that’s genuinely passionate about making your event unforgettable. From a business that is setup fro the ground up around customer service, reliability and security – we put it at the heart of everything we do.

From the awards we’ve won, to the ones we now judge, from our support for grassroots sport and charity work, to the commitment to our own staff – Jellybean is about more than just fun photos. We’re about integrity, service, and setting a standard that others can aspire to. We’ve noticed some trying to copy us (whether it be a clone of our terms and conditions – yep its true; to others copying our social media or even the style of their posts); we love it and you’re doing exactly what we want you to do…. be the best at what you can in this amazing industry. To all those businesses copying us and imitating everything, you are actually doing something good for the industry and copying the best ;-).

Because when it comes to delivering excellence – we don’t just talk about it. We show up, we put in the work, and we shine. And post about it every week too!
