Be The Star Photo Booth

Shelton, CT
  • Event extras
  • Photo booths
  • Starts at $595

Be the Star Photo Booth is a photo booth company servicing weddings and other events, operating out of Shelton, CT. The team is committed to providing professional services from start to finish, using top-of-the-line equipment to create a first-class memorable wedding experience. Be the Star Photo Booth was established in 2013 by husband and wife duo Mark and Denise. The pair have been working together in the entertainment industry since 1996, with years of experience enhancing weddings and events. The team enjoys elevating events with their photo booth, offering couples and guests a take-home token when the celebrations have ceased.

If you’re wondering whether a photo booth is worth it—stop wondering and book this one. It was pure joy from start to finish. The setup blended beautifully with our rustic-whimsical wedding vibe, and the props? Hilarious, high-quality, and somehow perfect for every guest. But the real stars were the attendants. They weren’t just running a booth—they were part of the celebration. Warm, upbeat, and totally in sync with the energy of the wedding, they kept the line moving, the smiles wide, and the vibe lighthearted. Guests are still texting us about their photo strips, (that were high quality prints I must add) and we now have a scrapbook full of goofy grins, heartfelt moments, that they gave us night of the wedding. If you’re planning an event and want to add a dash of magic, a splash of humor, and a whole lot of memories—this photo booth team delivers. Ten out of ten, would rent again.

HIGHLY recommend! I am so happy we hired Music Mania DJ's for our wedding! Before the wedding: the communication was fast and clear, their website to enter song requests and event details was easy to use, and the price was fair. On our wedding day: they set up stress free, they were on schedule with everything, played a good balance of our song requests mixed with crowd pleasers. The lighting package turned the party UP!!! We had 140 guests in a blank/ standard banquet hall and it felt like dancing at the club. The husband of the DJ duo is a great MC. He made lighthearted but always appropriate jokes, and really committed to dancing. I got the feeling he's not afraid to look a little goofy dancing, which encouraged other people to do the same. Their energy got people on the dance floor and I got feedback from older folks that even if they weren't dancing the duo was fun to watch. Music Mania DJ's added a level of entertainment for our guests that we wanted but didn't know how to provide. As a bride & groom who struggled having "all eyes on us"... I really loved letting these 2 DJ's take the spotlight a few times and 'wow' people with their DJ experience :)

A close friend recommended them and I’m so grateful she did. From meeting to final delivery the whole thing felt personal and real. They asked about our love story and included meaningful details in the photos, which made everything feel unique to us. The video montage we received is emotional and well-paced especially the sequence of toasts. They worked well with lighting changes and kept energy high at the reception. My husband insisted on candid shots of the band and those turned out fantastic and lively. The prints are high quality and will be gifted to family. The gallery interface made sharing simple and fun. They were responsive and considerate across the planning process. Honestly felt like hiring professionals who cared. Couldn’t recommend them more.

From the moment my (now) husband and I met Raquel, we knew she was the right person to help us make our dream wedding happen. We selected her "partial planning" package and I cannot begin to explain how grateful we are that we did! She is extremely responsive (near instant text replies!! I could never!), open minded and willing to brainstorm, but also an important (yet patient) force in guiding important decision making and keep everyone on task / deadline. Best of all? Raquel is such a wonderful human being, that over the course of the year we became genuine friends. She CARES, and I think that's one of the most incredible things about her (aside from the very obvious talent she has for planning and coordinating weddings).

He made it very easy for us to communicate what we were looking to do for our order of events (speeches, toasts, dances, etc.) and give him our recommended music. We had *so* many compliments about how wonderful of an emcee he was, as well as there being such a great mix of music for all the generations there that kept everyone on the dance floor the whole night! Our original time set for dinner ran a little late because the kitchen was running behind, but he did a wonderful job keeping things moving; no one had any idea we were waiting on dinner! Marvin even played a handful of songs that were not on our original recommendations list and was very prepared to do so! He ensured such a great flow & we were so so glad to have found him.

Shannon and Three Roots were amazing to work with! You can see from the photos (By Jessie Barentsen) below how absolutely stunning our florals were on our day. Throughout the whole planning process Shannon was so easy to communicate with and always had very prompt, timely responses. She was able to take my thoughts and visions bring them together and to life. She was very detail oriented down to having me select ribbons and vessels for our bouquets and florals. She sourced the most beautiful candles and bud vases for us as well. We had some last minute cancellations and cut down 2 tables and she worked with us to reallocate what we had paid for those tables to florals elsewhere in the space to not lose out. On our day there was so much love and hugging the groomsmen boutonnieres were falling off before the ceremony and she made new ones for all of them and placed them on. I cannot recommend Shannon enough!

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Mia made our wedding day impossibly easy and free of stress. She is incredible in every way! The service she provided to us was invaluable throughout the whole wedding planning process. Our wedding was at a relatively full service venue, so I initially wasn't sure whether working with Mia was necessary. However, I can confidently say that reaching out to her was the best decision I made in the entire wedding planning process! I am generally very Type A, so I was less concerned about everything going smoothly on the wedding day and more worried about being able to truly enjoy the day and live in the moment. I stumbled upon Mia's podcast and, after listening to only a handful of episodes, immediately knew I needed to contact her. In the month or so leading up to our wedding day, I felt uncharacteristically at ease, and I am certain that I owe this sense of calm to Mia. Being able to brain dump little details, concerns, etc. to Mia was incredibly helpful. It made me feel like somebody else cared as deeply about everything going right as I did. One particular puzzle involving our transportation was driving me crazy, and I spent several days poring over some possible solutions. I finally decided to send an email to Mia outlining the problem, and within a half hour, she sent back a brilliant, detailed solution that ended up working perfectly. Although I was already impressed by Mia before the wedding day, I couldn't believe just how valuable her services were on the actual day. There were so many points where Mia swooped in to help before I even knew help was needed. She acted as my “eyes and ears” that afternoon as other vendors set everything up at the venue. She was right on top of contacting the trolley company when they were a few minutes late for picking up the wedding party (I actually didn't even know they were running late until later that day, as it was all handled before I even had a chance to stress about it). She was right there with safety pins when a clasp on my dress was faulty. And she even held an umbrella over me to block the sun during photos (not sure where she even got it – she was like Mary Poppins, with the perfect supplies appearing in thin air!) It was almost as if she was in multiple places at the same time. Our wedding party was also grateful to have her phone number throughout the day for anything that came up. At the end of the event, Mia loaded all of the decor into our car and even took many of our leftover florals to a nearby nursing home the next day so they wouldn’t go to waste. I genuinely don't know who would have taken care of things like this if Mia wasn't there. Even now that our wedding day was a few weeks ago, I continue to hear stories of Mia that I didn't even know about. For example, at one point, my mom was trying to help some older relatives call a cab back to their hotel before the end of the night. All of a sudden, Mia appeared by her side and took care of it. I am so grateful to her for handling things like this so my mom could fully enjoy such an important day for our family. If you are unsure about whether you need a day-of coordinator, you will not regret working with Mia! Just knowing Mia was there made my stress level infinitely lower. I truly felt like I could soak up the joy of our wedding day without worrying about the little details and the flow of the day. Thank you, Mia, for playing such a big role in making our wedding day as special as it was!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Callie as our photographer for both our civil ceremony and our wedding in Hawaii, and we couldn’t be happier. For the civil ceremony, we thought the photos were already stunning—she captured everything beautifully, even though it was just a more low-key setting at our hotel and City Hall. But it was really at our Hawaii wedding that Callie’s talent shone through. She was there from the morning prep to the evening party, and she turned every moment into something that felt like a piece of a movie. The atmosphere, the storytelling, and the almost cinematic feel of her photos were just on another level. Honestly, we got so many compliments from friends who saw the photos and asked us who our photographer was. In short, we can’t recommend Callie highly enough. She made our special days look and feel magical, and we’re incredibly grateful.

With over 10 years of experience, documenting life's most beautiful moments has always been something so dear to our hearts as individuals. Aside from his love of filmography, Marc enjoys basketball, playing guitar/bass/drums, landscape photography, cooking, and watching his favorite shows while cuddling with our mini dachshunds Sammie & Brady. As for me... well I have many loves in life, but mostly salsa dancing & my dogs :)

From the moment we booked MC Visuals for our wedding, Kalena's communication was easy, fast, and friendly. Kalena and her second shooter were amazing the entire day, capturing every detail perfectly. Their professionalism and attention to detail were incredible - they thought of unique group poses that we wouldn't have come up with on our own and perfectly captured the beautiful scenery of our venue, exactly the way I wanted! The final photos were absolutely amazing and exceeded our expectations. We are thrilled with the incredible value and quality of their work, and we highly recommend MC Visuals to any couple looking for a talented, professional wedding photography team.

Working with Crystal was fantastic! She was super responsive and easy to connect with once we made an inquiry. We walked into our tasting thinking that we knew exactly what we wanted but everything she made at our tasting really blew us away (including the best cake pops we've ever had) and we ended up doing a few different layers. She is a very talented baker (the cake was delicious) but also a wonderful designer and created a truly beautiful cake. We couldn't even save the top for our 1 year anniversary - we defrosted it after a month and ate it all! We can't recommend her enough!
