About Boardwalk Entertainment
Boardwalk Entertainment
Photo Booths, Music & Lighting
Boardwalk Entertainment is a Hampton Roads-based DJ and photo booth company founded by husband-and-wife team Shawn and Carolyn Cox. With over 35 years of experience, they offer high-end DJ services, custom lighting, and vintage and modern photo booths. What began in 2009 as Boardwalk Photo Booth Company quickly evolved as couples started asking for more—leading to the full-service experience that is Boardwalk Entertainment today.
As a small, owner-operated business, we focus on quality over quantity—because your wedding is more than just a date on our calendar. When you work with Boardwalk, you’re working directly with Shawn, Carolyn, and their dedicated team of close-knit professionals. We don’t outsource or overbook, so every couple gets our full attention and care. With decades of experience and a long history of five-star reviews, we’ve built a quiet reputation for events that are smooth, personal, and full of great energy.

Actually we have 8 of them, and no one does vintage-style photo booths like Boardwalk Entertainment. Our exclusive fleet of iconic Original Model 14 booths aren't just stylish; they’re the real deal. With rich wood grain exteriors, velvet curtains, and a classic charm you won’t find anywhere else, these booths deliver the authentic, high-end vintage experience—with a digital twist. Meticulously maintained and built to last, our Original Model 14 photo booths have been stealing the show and capturing unforgettable moments in Hampton Roads since 2010. When it comes to photo booths, nothing beats the timeless style of a classic.
Absolutely! Ringo & Pixie, our open-style photo booths, are a fantastic addition to any event and offer a fresh, modern take on the photo booth experience—perfect for capturing larger group shots and allowing guests to watch the fun. The open booths deliver exceptional lighting and seamless digital sharing, allowing guests to take home printed photo strips while instantly downloading their images to keep the memories alive. Whether you’re looking for a sleek, contemporary setup or just want to fit more friends in the frame, our open-style booths bring the perfect blend of style, flexibility, fun, and unmatched photo quality!
Both our vintage enclosed booths and modern open-style booths offer amazing photo booth experiences—it just depends on your vibe! Vintage enclosed booths bring classic charm, featuring rich wood-grain exteriors, velvet curtains, and a private photo-taking atmosphere. Open-style booths offer a sleek, modern feel with room for larger group shots. Both include studio-quality lighting, instant printed strips, and seamless digital sharing—guaranteeing high-quality photos, effortless fun, and unforgettable memories!
Absolutely! Our Boardwalk Scrapbook Guest Book Service is included free with every wedding booking. We provide a beautifully crafted scrapbook, and our team assists guests in adding their photo strips and personal messages—some heartfelt, some hilarious (depending on how the night unfolds). It’s a one-of-a-kind keepsake filled with memories you’ll love flipping through for years to come!
We believe everyone should get in on the fun! Our photo booths print two copies of each photo strip by default—one for your guests to keep and one for your scrapbook (if included). If guests want extra copies, we’re happy to print them for free on the spot. And with instant digital sharing, they can also download and share their photos right away!
Of course! Every photo booth booking is run by a trusted Boardwalk Entertainment host. We’ve built our team with people we personally know and trust to bring great energy and top-notch service, ensuring everything runs smoothly and your guests have an amazing time!
Great question! Every vendor you hire should be fully insured, and we’re glad you asked. Boardwalk Entertainment carries a $2,000,000 liability insurance policy, giving you peace of mind that you’re working with a professional, reputable company. Our certificate of liability is available upon request—just let us know, and we’ll be happy to provide it!
Our DJ and photo booth pricing isn’t one-size-fits-all because every event is unique! Costs vary based on factors like date, venue, and specific needs, and we’re all about providing the best experience with clear, upfront pricing. No hidden fees, no unnecessary extras—just a custom quote built around what matters most to you.
