Cedar Valley Photobooth joined POET for a groovy 70s Christmas party! Read about the comedian, dinner, and custom retro photo booth fun at the Oster Regent.
The holiday season is all about winding down, celebrating hard work, and making memories with the people you see every day. At Cedar Valley Photobooth, we see a lot of parties, but some nights have a special kind of energy. We recently had the pleasure of joining the team from POET for their annual Christmas party, and let us tell you—these folks know how to celebrate.
Held at the historic and beautiful Oster Regent Theatre, the night was a perfect mix of relaxation, laughter, and serious style.

A Night of Celebration and Laughter
The Oster Regent Theatre provided a stunning backdrop for the evening. As guests arrived, you could instantly feel the shift from "work mode" to "party mode." The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, exactly what you want for a holiday gathering.
The evening started with a fantastic dinner, giving everyone a chance to sit down, enjoy great food, and catch up outside of the office setting. But the real entertainment kicked off with a comedian show that had the whole room roaring. There is something about shared laughter that really brings a team together, and the comedy set the perfect tone for a night of letting loose.
It wasn't just about the schedule of events, though. It was about the feeling in the room—a genuine sense of celebration for a year of hard work.

Bringing the Disco Fever
Every great party needs a hook, and POET nailed it with their theme this year: The 70s.
We aren't talking about a subtle nod to the decade; the party fully embraced the groovy vibes of the 1970s. This is where Cedar Valley Photobooth got to really shine. We love a good theme, and we wanted to make sure our setup matched the energy of the night perfectly.
To transport everyone back to the era of disco and bell-bottoms, we curated a specific experience for the photo booth:
- Custom 70s Background: We ditched the standard backdrops for something totally far-out. The custom background set the stage immediately, making every photo look like an album cover from 1976.
- Themed Props: What is a photo booth without props? We brought along a collection specifically for this theme—think oversized sunglasses, funky hats, and signs that screamed "retro."
The guests wasted no time getting into character.
Capturing the Fun
From the moment the booth opened, it was busy. Employees grabbed their coworkers, donned the 70s gear, and struck their best disco poses.
The photo booth served as the perfect companion to the comedian and dinner. It gave guests something active and fun to do while mingling. We saw groups of friends laughing as they tried to fit as many people as possible into the frame, and others carefully selecting the perfect prop to match their outfit.
By the end of the night, the digital gallery was full of colorful, hilarious, and heartwarming moments. These photos aren't just digital files; they are keepsakes from a night where colleagues became friends and work stress was left at the door.

Why Themes Matter
The success of the POET party is a great reminder of why themes work so well for corporate events. A theme like "The 70s" acts as an icebreaker. It gives people permission to be a little silly and step out of their professional shells. When you add a photo booth to the mix, you amplify that effect. The booth becomes the designated "fun zone" where the theme comes to life.
We were thrilled to be part of such a well-planned and joyous evening. Seeing the POET team relaxed, laughing, and enjoying the holiday spirit was the highlight of our week.
