✨ The Selfie Wizard
The Selfie Wizard is more than a slideshow—it's a live, interactive experience that becomes part of your party. Here's how it works:
- Guests use their own phones to upload fun snaps via a simple QR code.
- Photos instantly appear on the built-in screen on Tony's sleek DJ booth.
- Couples can pre-load a custom slideshow—from engagement shoots to childhood photos—to play during quieter moments like dinner.
- Once the dancefloor fills, it transforms into a playful celebration of the guests themselves—guests love spotting themselves on screen as they dance.
- At Rhinefield, this works beautifully within the Kings Room's party layout, adding an extra layer of energy to the evening.
