At MoPhotoBooth314, we take pride in being part of the vibrant small business scene in St. Louis, Missouri. Connecting with other entrepreneurs through local organizations has helped us grow our network and stay plugged into new opportunities. When small businesses lift each other up, the whole city shines brighter. As a growing photo booth business, we’ve found these experiences incredibly valuable. They’ve helped us stay motivated, inspired, and connected to others who share the same entrepreneurial spirit.

Putting Networking Into Action: The Margarita Meeting – Neon Nights

Last year, we had the amazing opportunity to sponsor our photo booth services for The Margarita Meeting at 4Hands at The District, and it turned out to be one of the most inspiring networking experiences we’ve had yet.

The event’s theme was “Neon Nights,” and it brought together local female small business owners from across the St. Louis area for an evening of laughter, collaboration, and connection. The atmosphere was vibrant and full of positive energy, exactly what small business networking is all about. The night featured a raffle, where some of the local business owners donated their services and products. The raffle was a huge hit and a creative way for those businesses to showcase what their businesses offer. We were thrilled to provide the photo booth experience for the event, helping capture fun memories while connecting with other inspiring entrepreneurs. We were partnered with By Leona, who designed the stunning backdrop and Lou Lou Balloon Co, who added their creative touch with colorful balloon décor that made the setup pop.

The event was hosted by Dee Marie, a entrepreneur in her own right and owner of Do Me a Favor STL, a graphic apparel and custom favors business. She did an incredible job bringing together so many talented women from the local business community. It was a true celebration of collaboration, connections, and creativity. A great reminder that getting involved in local events is one of the best ways to get your business name out there while building meaningful relationships.
