A merch booth at a wedding only works if it feels like merch — a real drop with a real table — and runs like catering: on time, self-contained, invisible until it is the best thing in the room. Here is everything Merch Troop brings under one booking.
Live pressing, full color
The core of the booth is direct-to-film transfer pressing done on site. Your couple lockup is produced ahead of the wedding in full color — gradients, photos, metallic-look inks, fine line art all print clean — then pressed onto each piece in about sixty seconds while the guest watches. Prints are soft, stretchable, and survive real laundry, because your college roommate will absolutely sleep in this shirt for the next decade.
The garment menu
We stock the table with retail-quality blanks, not gift-bag filler: Bella+Canvas 3001 tees in your palette, heavyweight hoodies for late-night, Richardson 112 truckers, dad caps, and natural canvas totes. You approve the lineup and the size curve in advance; we bring backstock so the last guest in line still gets a medium.
Hat finishing & keepsakes
Hats are the sleeper hit of every wedding we work. Guests choose a cap, pick a patch or a pressed design — your crest, the date, the dog — and it is finished at the table in front of them. For the wedding party we can add thread-sewn keepsake pieces prepared before the event, so the crew gifts feel a tier above the guest drop.
Design of the lockup
Most couples come to us with a vibe, not a vector file. Our designers build the tour-style lockup for you: names in a headline face, the wedding date styled like a tour stop, a set-list back listing the night in order. You get mockups on real garments before you sign off, and the files are yours afterward.
Crew, power, and footprint
A standard booth is a 10×10 footprint — two presses, a display wall, and a folding station — run by two to three uniformed crew. We need one standard 120V/20A circuit and about ninety minutes for load-in. Indoors, outdoors under cover, ballroom or backyard: if catering can work the room, so can we.
