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

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
QR setup for Manhattan events
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.
4 Use the QR on signage at every venue change
NYC events often move from ceremony to reception in a separate building — repeat the QR at each room so guests rejoin the camera flow.
5 Manhattan placement tip
Repeat the QR at each room transition because Manhattan events often move guests quickly between ceremony, cocktails, and dinner.
