Scribble Booth Rental in Maryland, Washington DC, Northern Virginia

A one-of-a-kind video message booth where guests write, draw and leave messages directly on glass while our camera captures the moment.

Write It. Record It. Remember It.

Looking for a photo booth experience your guests haven't seen at every other event?

Meet the Scribble Booth by Active Photo Booth — an interactive video experience that lets guests write messages, draw pictures, leave signatures and get creative directly in front of the camera.

Sometimes called a Message Booth, Video Message Booth, Glass Writing Booth, or Scribble Cam, this experience puts a modern spin on the traditional photo booth. Instead of simply posing for a picture, guests become part of the content.

The result is a collection of fun, candid and often hilarious video moments created specifically for your event.

Active Photo Booth offers Scribble Booth rentals for weddings, corporate events, brand activations, conferences, galas, private parties and special events throughout Washington, D.C., Maryland and Northern Virginia.

What Is a Scribble Booth?

The Scribble Booth is a video booth featuring a 2 way mirror writing surface positioned between your guests and a professional camera.

Guests step up to the booth, grab a marker and write directly on the glass while the camera records from the other side.

Write a message.

Draw a picture.

Sign your name.

Give the newlyweds some advice.

Celebrate a company milestone.

Shout out your favorite coworker.

Or just draw something ridiculous.

Because the camera records through the writing surface, the message and the guest appear together in the finished video.

It's simple, interactive and incredibly easy for guests to understand — and that's exactly what makes it fun.

Why Is It Also Called a Message Booth?

A Scribble Booth is often referred to as a Message Booth because one of its best uses is allowing guests to leave personalized messages on camera.

At a wedding, that might be:

"We love you!"

"Best wedding ever!"

"Congratulations!"

At a corporate event, it could be:

"10 Years Strong!"

"Best Team Ever!"

"#TeamBaltimore"

Unlike a traditional video guestbook where someone simply speaks into a camera, the Scribble Booth gives guests something to do.

Writing on the glass breaks the ice and encourages people to interact with the experience. That often leads to more natural reactions, laughs and candid moments on camera.

A Modern Alternative to the Traditional Photo Booth

Traditional photo booths aren't going anywhere — we love them too.

But the Scribble Booth is different.

Instead of standing in front of a backdrop and taking several photos, guests create a short piece of video content.

The illuminated writing surface becomes part of the experience, while professional camera equipment captures the guest from behind the glass.

The sleek booth design also means it doesn't look like a piece of production equipment sitting in the middle of your event.

It was designed to look at home at an upscale wedding, corporate gala, luxury hotel or branded activation.

Custom Branded Scribble Booths

One of our favorite Scribble Booth features is the ability to completely transform the exterior for your event.

The booth can be professionally wrapped with custom vinyl graphics, turning the entire structure into part of your event design or brand activation.

For corporate events, we can incorporate:

• Company logos and brand colors

• Event logos

• Campaign artwork

• Sponsor branding

• Conference themes

• Product launches

• Custom messaging

• Hashtags and social campaigns

Instead of putting a small logo on a generic photo booth, the entire booth becomes a branded experience.

For weddings and private events, custom wraps can include:

• Names or monograms

• Wedding dates

• Floral designs

• Custom colors

• Event themes

• Personalized messages

Want something understated? The Scribble Booth can also be presented in a sleek black or white finish for a clean, modern appearance.

Scribble Booth for Corporate Events

The Scribble Booth was practically made for corporate events.

It's highly visual, easy to brand and gives attendees a reason to stop and participate.

Use it for:

• Corporate parties

• Conferences

• Trade shows

• Brand activations

• Employee appreciation events

• Holiday parties

• Product launches

• Awards ceremonies

• Company anniversaries

• Fundraisers and galas

• Association events

• Experiential marketing activations

Brands can even give attendees a prompt.

"What does innovation mean to you?"

"Describe our team in one word."

"What are you excited about this year?"

"Write your best advice for the next generation."

Now the Scribble Booth isn't simply entertainment — it's creating authentic content from the people attending your event.

Scribble Booth for Weddings

Imagine being able to watch your wedding guests leave messages throughout the night.

Your college friends might leave something hilarious.

Grandparents might write something heartfelt.

Your wedding party might completely take over the booth.

And someone will inevitably draw something they probably shouldn't.

That's part of the fun.

The Scribble Booth can function as a modern wedding video guestbook, capturing personalities and moments that a traditional guestbook simply can't.

A customized white wedding wrap can also transform the booth to complement your wedding décor, incorporating your names, monogram, date, florals or wedding colors.

Long after the flowers are gone and the dance floor has cleared, you'll still have the messages.

Private Parties & Special Events

The Scribble Booth isn't limited to weddings and corporate events.

It's also perfect for:

• Birthdays

• Bar and Bat Mitzvahs

• Anniversary parties

• Graduations

• Reunions

• Holiday parties

• Retirement celebrations

• School events

• Fundraisers

• Milestone celebrations

The experience can be customized around virtually any event theme.

Designed to Look as Good as the Event

We didn't want our Scribble Booth to look like a giant piece of camera equipment.

So we designed it differently.

The booth features a sleek, freestanding enclosure with integrated professional lighting and a clean architectural appearance designed specifically for upscale events.

The integrated lighting softly illuminates guests while the professional camera captures crisp, high-quality video through the writing surface.

And because the exterior can be customized, the booth can either blend into your event design or become a centerpiece of it.

The Guest Experience

Using the Scribble Booth couldn't be easier.

Step 1 — Step Up

Guests walk up to the illuminated writing surface.

Step 2 — Grab a Marker

Use one of our specially selected markers to write or draw directly on the glass.

Step 3 — Get Creative

Write a message, draw something, sign your name or respond to your event's custom prompt.

Step 4 — Smile for the Camera

The camera records the interaction from behind the glass, capturing both the guest and their creation.

Step 5 — Leave Your Mark

The finished videos become a collection of authentic moments from your event.

Professional Equipment. Professional Results.

Like every experience from Active Photo Booth, the Scribble Booth is designed around more than just the booth itself.

Professional camera equipment, flattering LED lighting and carefully designed placement work together to create video that actually looks good.

That matters.

Your venue might have romantic amber lighting, dramatic corporate uplighting or a dark ballroom environment. Our integrated lighting helps illuminate guests so they're the focus of the finished content.
