How many prints does a wedding actually need?
For most weddings of around 80 to 120 guests, the 400-print package is the sweet spot. The machine prints about 30 to 40 pints an hour at a busy bar, and guests tend to come back for seconds once they have seen the first one. Smaller or shorter celebrations suit 200 prints; big weddings with a long evening do go through 600.
When do we need to send our designs?
At least two weeks before your wedding. Send up to six designs as PNG, JPG or PDF, at least 1000 pixels wide. Anything with clean lines prints beautifully: monograms, dates, illustrations, even photos. We check every design before it's loaded and will flag anything that won't print well.
What does our venue need to do?
Almost nothing. The machine needs a spot on the bar about the size of a small countertop microwave and a standard UK plug socket. It arrives by tracked courier one or two days ahead, the bar team plug it in, and after one test print they're away. No operator, no training session. Most venues have seen nothing like it and love it.
Can our guests print their own selfies?
Yes, and it's usually the hit of the night. Guests scan a QR code at the bar, snap or upload a photo, and it prints on their pint seconds later. Expect a queue once the first one does the rounds.
Does it only work on Guinness?
No. Anything with a frothy or creamy head works: Guinness and stout, espresso martinis, foamed cocktails, cappuccinos and lattes. So the espresso martini crowd get printed drinks too, not just the stout drinkers.
How do wedding payments work?
A booking fee of 25% of your package secures your date. The balance plus a refundable £300 damage deposit is due 60 days before the wedding. The deposit comes back within seven working days of the machine arriving back to us in good condition. Weddings booked within 60 days of the date are paid in full upfront.
What if something goes wrong on the day?
We monitor every shipment in real time and will know before you do if something is delayed. Our phone and WhatsApp support line is live throughout your wedding weekend, and if anything is genuinely beyond fixing on the night, you get a full refund. The risk is ours, not yours.
