Center City Photo Booth Fun in Philadelphia

This past weekend, Armani Entertainment had the pleasure of being part of an unforgettable celebration, Alix’s Bat Mitzvah at SPIN Philadelphia. If you’ve never been to SPIN, it’s not your average venue. It’s a ping pong-themed entertainment spot located right in the heart of Center City at 211 S. 15th Street.

The whole vibe of the space is just… cool. From the moment you step downstairs into the basement-level venue, you're surrounded by an upbeat atmosphere with separate rooms for dancing, eating, and of course, ping pong. There’s even a central bar area that ties everything together perfectly.

We were brought in to provide our photo booth experience, and let me tell you, it was a hit. For this event, we designed a custom step and repeat backdrop featuring Alix’s very own logo. We went with a premium fabric for the step and repeat, which not only looked amazing but really elevated the quality of every photo taken in the booth. Fabric backdrops help minimize glare and shadows, so every shot came out crisp and vibrant.

Guests loved taking home classic photo strips from their sessions, and for those who prefer digital, they could text the photos to themselves instantly. Plus, the entire photo gallery was updating in real time, so guests could relive their memories on the fly throughout the night.

But the photo booth was just one piece of an action-packed evening. The DJ and motivational dancers brought non-stop energy to the dance floor. There were dance contests, interactive games like Coke and Pepsi (a classic!), and the dancers even taught the crowd some fun routines. The kids were totally into it, and honestly, so were the adults.

Speaking of adults, let’s talk food. SPIN didn’t hold back. There was a buffet just for the grown-ups and a separate spread tailored to the kids’ tastes. Later in the evening, a dessert station rolled out featuring cookies, water ice, cake, and even Philly-style soft pretzels. It was the perfect sweet ending to an incredible night.
