Children's Hospital of Pennsylvania 2026 Prom
Some events are about celebration, while others are about creating memories that families can hold onto for years. In June 2026, Armani Entertainment had the privilege of being part of a very special event at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), providing our print photo booth for the hospital’s annual prom for patients and their families.
The event transformed the hospital cafeteria into something completely different. What is normally a familiar space was decorated and transformed into a beautiful prom ballroom, giving patients and their families the opportunity to step into an evening that felt truly special. This year’s theme was “Enchanted Forest,” and the decorations brought that theme to life throughout the space.
One of the highlights was a beautiful backdrop designed to look like an enchanted forest. The attention to detail helped create an atmosphere where guests could forget about the hospital environment for a while and simply enjoy being at prom.
The guests certainly embraced the theme. Many arrived dressed in elegant formal outfits, while some of the girls took things a step further by dressing as fairies and princesses. There was even a red carpet where guests could make their entrance in style.
As part of our contribution to the evening, Armani Entertainment provided our print photo booth. We created a custom photo strip design that matched the “Magic in the Forest” theme, allowing guests to take home a personalized keepsake from the night.
But the photo booth was about much more than simply taking pictures.
Two members of the CHOP team were dressed as fairies, including outfits inspired by characters like Tinkerbell, and they joined patients and their families inside the photo booth for pictures. This added another layer of fun to the experience and gave families an opportunity to create photos that captured the spirit of the evening.
Watching the guests interact with the booth was one of the most rewarding parts of being there. For families attending the prom, the printed photo strips provided something tangible to take home. A photo can be a simple keepsake, but in an event like this, it can become a reminder of a night when families came together, dressed up, celebrated, laughed, and made memories.
The photo booth was just one part of an entire evening designed around creating fun experiences for the patients and their families. A DJ and motivational dancers kept the dance floor active, while other activities gave guests plenty of opportunities to participate. There were games, face tattoos for the kids, and a variety of gifts that guests could take home, including plush toys, T-shirts, stickers, and LED foam wands.
The event also received
coverage from 6 ABC, helping shine a spotlight on the special evening and the incredible effort that went into creating such a memorable experience for CHOP patients and their families.
For corporate and community event planners, this prom is a great example of how thoughtful entertainment and interactive experiences can transform a venue. You do not necessarily need a traditional ballroom to create a memorable event. With the right decorations, entertainment, activities, and attention to detail, almost any space can be transformed to fit a theme and create an experience guests will remember.
Interactive entertainment can also give guests something they can take with them after the event ends. In this case, the custom photo strips became personal souvenirs of a magical evening.
We were honored to be part of CHOP’s “Magic in the Forest” prom. Events like this remind us why we love what we do. Creating entertainment is not simply about providing a service. It is about helping people celebrate important moments, bringing families together, and giving guests memories they can take home with them.
For Armani Entertainment, being part of an event like this was truly special, and we are grateful to have played a small role in creating a magical night for so many wonderful families.
