One QR per table covers the room
Reception halls are easy: print one QR per table, slip another near the entrance, and you have full coverage from arrival to last dance.
For reception hall events
Reception hall events
Reception halls have a recognisable rhythm: ceremony or programme on stage, banquet seating across the floor, dancing later. PicShots gives every table a guest camera that funnels into one shared gallery you control.

Why PicShots fits
Built for the rhythm of reception halls
Designed for banquet-style timelines
PicShots fits a structured timeline of arrival, ceremony, dinner, programme, and dancing. The same QR keeps working across every transition.
Encourage candid table shots
Per-guest shot limits encourage intentional photos, so the gallery feels curated even when 80–200 guests are uploading.
Host moderation before reveal
Keep the gallery hidden during the event. Review and remove anything you don't want public, then reveal when ready.
Setup tips
How to set up the guest camera at reception halls
1 Print the QR on every table card
Reception halls are essentially one big room — table cards are the highest-yield placement for the QR.
2 Mention the QR before the meal
Reception MCs always do a quick welcome before food is served. That's the perfect spot for a 10-second QR mention.
3 Use the dance floor as a candid prompt
Dancing is where reception halls produce the most candid uploads. A second MC mention before the dance floor opens lifts uploads noticeably.

FAQ
Common questions
Will it work for a 200+ guest reception?
Yes. Paid PicShots tiers scale up to 250 guests with per-guest shot allowances tuned to your expected upload volume.
Can we use it for debuts and milestone parties too?
Yes. Reception halls are commonly used for debuts, milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and corporate functions. PicShots works the same way across all of them.
Does the venue need to approve PicShots?
Usually not. PicShots uses no extra gear and runs in guests' browsers. Some hotels prefer that you mention any guest-camera flow during planning, but no permission is technically required.
