An Essex Events Company that brings life to the party scene, Magic Mirror Hire has emerged as an unbeatable way to captivate guests and create lasting memories. A magic mirror is essentially an interactive photo booth disguised as a stylish full-length mirror, combining elegant looks with laugh-out-loud fun and instant photo keepsakes. Whether you’re planning a wedding, party, or corporate function, our magic mirror adds a touch of glamour and excitement that elevates your event from ordinary to extraordinary.
Strike a Pose: The Modern Way Forward
Today’s magic mirror is a sleek, high-tech twist on the traditional photo booth. It looks like a full-length mirror framed in lights, but doubles as a touchscreen camera that springs to life when guests approach. Fun animations greet them with prompts to “strike a pose”, then a simple tap on the glass triggers the camera to snap a photo and display it instantly. Unlike a cramped curtained booth, this open setup lets everyone watch the action and jump into group shots. Despite all the tech inside, the unit has a slim footprint and fits into venues of any size.
Weddings: Capturing Memories in Style
At weddings, a magic mirror is the perfect blend of entertainment and keepsakes. It keeps guests of all ages amused, you might see the flower girl and a grandparent laughing together as they pose. Each photo session prints out a customised picture in seconds (often with the couple’s name or wedding date on it), so every guest gets a memento. We also include a lovely guestbook where friends and family can stick in their photo printouts and scribble a message, by the end of the night, the newlyweds have an album of warm wishes and hilarious snapshots to cherish!
Parties and Celebrations: Unforgettable Fun
Planning a party with kids and grown-ups? The magic mirror is your secret weapon. It’s like a selfie machine with sass, flashing lights, talking animations, and a table full of ridiculous props that kids and parents can’t resist. One minute your nan’s in curlers, the next she’s wearing a Viking helmet and dabbing. Even the grumpy uncle gets involved after a few poses. It’s chaos in the best way, with unlimited prints so everyone goes home with proof of their questionable costume choices. Warning: may cause extreme laughter, repeat visits, and a queue of sugar-fuelled kids demanding “just one more go!”
Corporate Events: Professional Yet Entertaining
Corporate functions benefit from a magic mirror by adding a playful touch while still staying professional. We can customise the photo printouts with your company logo or event branding, so each print doubles as a branded souvenir. Using the mirror is a fantastic ice-breaker at business events; colleagues and clients will bond over the silly snapshots and it shows your company knows how to mix business with fun. Since a friendly attendant from our team stays with the mirror to guide people, you can focus on your agenda while we handle the photo fun.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is a magic mirror photo booth?
A: It’s a modern photo booth in the form of a large interactive mirror. Guests see themselves as they pose, and fun animations on the mirror guide them through taking a great photo.
Q: How is a magic mirror different from a traditional photo booth?
A: The magic mirror is open-air and visually striking, whereas a traditional photo booth is enclosed. With a mirror booth, you stand in front of a full-length mirror instead of sitting inside a little box, and you get fun extras like voice prompts and digital props. It’s a more interactive, group-friendly experience – yet you still receive instant prints just like a regular booth.
Q: Is magic mirror hire suitable for any event?
A: Absolutely. Our magic mirror is a hit at weddings, birthday parties, proms, corporate functions, and so much more. We can tailor the experience with themed props and custom print layouts to fit the style of your event.
Q: Do guests get to keep the photos?
A: Yes. Every photo taken is printed within seconds for guests to keep, and we offer unlimited prints during your event. That means everyone can take home a souvenir photo (and as the host, you’ll also get digital copies of all the pictures afterward).
Q: Are props and an attendant included in the hire?
A: Yes – everything’s included. A big box of props comes with the mirror, and a friendly attendant will be there to set it up, assist guests, and keep things running smoothly. We even include a guestbook for events like weddings, so you get an album of all the photo prints with messages from your guests.
Q: How much space does the magic mirror need?
A: Not much at all. We recommend an area about 3m by 3m to fit the mirror, prop table, and room for people to pose, with a normal power outlet nearby. Our team will arrive roughly an hour early to handle setup, and breakdown afterward is quick and won’t disrupt your event.
Q: What areas do you service for magic mirror hire?
A: We’re based in Colchester and cover all of Essex, plus across the South East. That includes Greater London and nearby counties like Suffolk and Hertfordshire. If your event is in this region, we can likely bring our magic mirror to your venue.
