Champs-Elysees, Paris, France

Why Champs-Elysees works for hotel ballrooms

Champs-Elysees is known for central hotels, formal reception spaces, and international guest lists. Hotel ballrooms and reception halls are the strongest fits.

  • Large indoor seated capacity
  • Hotel-managed catering and AV
  • Separate cocktail and dinner rooms
  • Bridal suite or break-out rooms

Why PicShots fits

A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated

  • One gallery across multiple rooms

    Cocktails, ceremony, dinner, and dancing usually happen in different rooms. PicShots collects every candid into the same event gallery without the host moving anything between apps.

  • AV-friendly QR display

    Ballroom venues nearly always have screens and projectors. The QR code can be displayed on the welcome slide deck, on signage near the foyer, and printed on table cards.

  • No app install for hotel guests

    Half your guest list is already exhausted from check-in and travel. A scan-and-shoot browser flow is the only camera setup that consistently works for everyone.

  • Bulk download for the album

    Hotel weddings usually pair PicShots with a professional photographer. After the event, download the full ZIP and pass it to your editor for inclusion in the album.

Setup tips

QR setup for Champs-Elysees events

  1. 1

    Print the QR on table cards

    Slot the QR next to the menu or favour at every table — couples who do this collect 3–5× more uploads than a single foyer QR.

  2. 2

    Display the QR on the welcome screen

    Hotel ballrooms nearly always have an LED screen near the entrance. Ask the AV team to loop your QR slide during cocktails.

  3. 3

    Mention it once at the speeches

    A 10-second MC mention before dinner doubles uploads on average. Frame it as 'help us collect every angle of the night'.

  4. 4

    Bilingual prompts on the QR card

    Add a short French line under the English prompt — couples in Paris see noticeably higher uploads when the card matches the room.

  5. 5

    Champs-Elysees placement tip

    Use a QR slide on the welcome screen and a printed card at every table to cover formal room changes.
