Capture the Glam. Brand the Memories.

Melbourne Cup Day + The Haylo = A Winning Bet for Your Venue

Quick Answer: The Haylo runs Melbourne Cup venue campaigns promoting luncheons, fashions-on-the-field events, and group bookings — using targeted paid social to fill tables and function spaces weeks before the first Tuesday in November.

The race that stops the nation

Every guest is dressed to impress, ready to sip champagne and dying to get that perfect photo…

Don’t let them walk away without it.

Why The Haylo is a Cup Day Essential

Firstly, what’s a Melbourne Cup without a photo booth?

Every Guest Gets a Keepsake

Custom branded polaroid-style prints = instant souvenir they’ll take home (with your venue logo on it).

Boosts the Buzz

Think fascinators, florals, champagne smiles, boomerangs and photo strips — it's all Insta-ready, without lifting a finger.

Capture the Glam Without the Cost

Save $800–$1,500 on hiring external shooters. The Haylo captures every moment — no staff required.

Encourages Longer Stays

Guests snap, share, and stay longer to keep the good times (and photos) rolling.

Drives Repeat Bookings

Add an on-screen message or SMS follow-up that says: “Already planning next year’s outfit? Book now and get a free bottle of bubbly on us!”

Run a ‘Best Dressed’ GIF Competition

Encourage guests to show off their outfits in the booth. The best GIF wins a prize and your venue gets content + buzz all day.

Just touch to start and watch the memories roll in.

The Real Value?

Instead of spending money on a one day photo booth, you’ve got a premium one in house that’s already ready to go.

  • No bump-in.
  • No stress.
  • No editing.
  • No added cost.
  • No staff needed.
  • No managing.
CUSTOMER TESTIMONIALS

What our clients say about us

Most of our founding venues are still with us today
because the results speak for themselves.

We’ve been onboard since 2023 and our customers love the idea of having a photo booth for their party and being able to offer one onsite instead of having to hire one is such a great added bonus. We not only use it for private functions but also for in house events which further adds to the experience and is great for socials because patrons tag us on their photos. Customer feedback is also amazing since it is so easy to operate even the older patrons are able to use and the quality of the photos is really good. Would 100% recommend!

Salomé Functions Manager

Noel has provided great training & tips on the use of The Haylo & it’s amazing features + marketing tools. He’s gone above and beyond with traditional after hours service and support (which is actually normal event/hospitality hours when you need the help and has always accepted the call for help or guidance on anything technical). He has helped us maximise the return on investment for the photo booth & added a new revenue stream to our business for his service

Paul Marketing Manager

Glad we chose The Haylo Originally booked to start in September. Due to selling functions before I had in venue we started in April It’s easy to use, our patrons love it. Birthday parties (even an 80th Birthday) Booked for Xmas in July Customer support and check-ins are 5 star

Brynie Functions Manager

I’ve had The Haylo in my venue for around 3 weeks now and have already generated $2,500. Noel has helped me every step of the way as he promised and he’s definitely surprised me. My customers love it, it’s been an awesome value add for my functions and venue.

Andrew Owner

As a small venue we’re always searching for simple yet exciting ways to value add to our clients function experience and having The Haylo has been perfect! It’s compact, easy to use and self managed, adding an extra level of fun and guest interaction. The option to have photo strips personalised to the event with our logo means we’re able to promote the venue and reach a wider audience when shared on social media. A win for us, a win for the client and a lifetime of memories and good times shared at Mr Mista for the guest!

Tracey Owner

We have been using the Haylo for well over a year now, averaging for the year just over 1 event a week. This upsells our functions anywhere from $225-$600 each time its in use. Not only are we profiting with functions, we are also doubling up and using as a marketing tool for our own internal events which also allows us to get some extra content for our socials.
The customers love it! Super handy being able to book everything all together and comes in much cheaper than hiring an external company. Noel and the team are fantastic to deal with, super quick and always available to assist when needed.
