Photo Booth Rentals and more in the California Bay Area
We would love to answer questions you have over the phone or via email, but for common questions, feel free to browse our FAQ!
What’s included in my rental?
Our selfie booth rental includes the booth, a backdrop, props, and your custom photo template suite. We will set up and break down the booth.
Our DSLR booth rental includes the booth, printer, a backdrop, props, and your custom photo template suite, plus 1-2 onsite attendants.
Our 360 booth rental includes the platform, sharing station, stanchions and red carpet, props, and your custom video overlay, plus 2-3 onsite attendants.
What kind of payment do you accept?
We will send you a bill via Square, meaning you can pay via debit or credit card, or directly from your bank account. We also accept Zelle, Venmo, Cashapp, and Paypal!
Do you require a deposit?
We require a 50% non-refundable retainer to reserve the date, although if your event is canceled we will use our discretion on partial refunds depending on how much work we have already put into preparing for your event. The remaining 50% is due the day before the event. Keep in mind that if we have not received the balance due, we will not come to your event. If your event is postponed, we will do our best to accommodate based on our availability.
How many photos/videos/prints can I take during the event?
Digital sessions are unlimited as time allows! You and your guests can text or email your photos to yourself, and the event host will receive a shareable link to the gallery which will be available for a minimum of 6 months. For our print booths, our 2x6 prints are unlimited during your event, and we allow each person in the photo to have a print, not just one per session. If your event has more than 50 people and you want unlimited 4x6 prints, there will be an upcharge of $100. Extra prints to put in a scrapbook are included in the price for our scrapbook packages, but if you are bringing your own scrapbook, there may still be an upcharge depending on event size and template size.
How do I get the pictures?
Pictures and GIFs/Boomerangs/Videos will be available to each guest right after their session via text, email, or QR code. The event host will receive a shareable link to the entire gallery after the event. DSLR booth photos/strips will print promptly after each session.
Do you offer GIFs/Boomerangs? Do they cost extra?
We do offer GIFs/Boomerangs! They do not cost extra.
These picture types are included in each rental:
Our DSLR booth rental includes your photo template, physical prints of your photo, a digital copy of the original photos (without the template overlay), and GIFs.
Our digital selfie booth includes your digital photo template, the original photos (without the template overlay), GIFs, and boomerangs. Our selfie booth can also be rented as a video booth.
Our 360 booth includes video.
How long does it take to set up/break down the booth?
We like to allow at least an hour for setup, but for heavier/more complicated setups such as flower walls and 360 booths, we ask for 1.5-2 hours. Break down takes less time, usually about half an hour.
Is the set up time included in the packages?
Set up time is included. The rental hours you pay for will be active booth time during which you and your guests can use the booth!
Will someone be on site to operate the booth?
Our selfie booth is a dropoff service, so an attendant will set up and make sure everything is running, but no one will be on-site during your event. Ideally 1-2 people at your event will receive basic instructions on using the booth, and can help guide guests and call us if there are any questions, but the booth is self-service.
Our DSLR booth will have 1-2 attendants on-site to engage with your guests and make sure everything is running smoothly, and to address any challenges with the camera or printer.
Our 360 booth will have 2-3 attendants to help manage the line, guide guests in booth safety and use, and direct users how to receive their videos via the sharing station.
How much space does the booth need?
Our selfie booth has the smallest footprint, needing just over 8x8 feet to accommodate the backdrop, booth, and prop table, although more space is better!
Our DSLR booth needs a little more space to allow the camera to be farther away from the backdrop, ideally 10x10 or a little more.
Our 40” 360 booth needs more space, at least 10x10, but ideally 10x15 or more to allow stanchions to guard the space around the swinging arm, plus space for the prop table, queuing, and the sharing station.
Height-wise, most of our backdrops are 8x8 feet tall, so if you are having an event inside a home, we may need to use a curtain backdrop.
What else do I need for my rental?
You will need to provide a flat area that will accommodate the booth, and a power outlet within 15 ft of the booth. For an extra charge we can bring our own power station which allows more flexibility in booth location. We have our own hotspot for sending the photos, but wifi is ideal as it will be faster and more reliable. If wifi is not available and we don’t have service on our hotspot, for example in a remote location or in a metal building, digital photos will be sent after the event when internet service becomes available.
Can I have my event outside?
Yes! As long as the ground is reasonably flat, hard, and dry, we can do outdoor events. If there is no nearby outlet, you will need to add-on our power station. If there is risk of rain or if the event is in full sun, you will need to add on a 10x10 canopy tent to protect our equipment and make sure your event runs smoothly.
Can you set up ahead of time?
Yes! We can set our selfie booth up a reasonable amount of time ahead. For our DSLR booth, we allow down-time hours, so if you need the booth set up in the room where you will be having your event, or if you want the booth to take a break for an hour or two during special dances, etc., we can leave the booth up for a discounted rate of $45/hour as our staff will still need to be on-site.
Can we put our own logo or graphics on the photo templates?
Yes, we can add your logo or elements from your event theme or invitations to our template, or create a template inspired by the images you send us. In some cases our clients have a photo template premade, and we can use that, although in some cases we have to adjust it to fit or or adjust the file type.
Can I still reserve you for a last minute booking?
Yes, feel free to give us a call and check our availability!
How do I book my event?
You can contact us via the form on our contact page, email, text us, or give us a call with questions and to confirm that your event date is available, and we’ll get back to you within 12 hours, usually less! If your date is available and you want to move ahead with booking, we’ll send you a form to get all of your event details. To complete your reservation, we require a deposit/retainer and signed contract. With that out of the way, we will work with you to customize your booth experience! The final balance is due the day before your event.
Do you offer a glam booth?
Yes! Our equipment is more than capable of capturing the runway ready, lightly airbrushed, black and white (or color) glam shots. We have our own booth filters that provide beautiful contrast in black and white or color. To elevate the experience, you can add on our red carpet experience, and we will provide classy props to add a little spice!
What kind of props do you have?
We know sign props are the default for many photobooth businesses–they can be fun and are frankly easier to transport–but we’re proud to provide a generous selection of real props. From hats, glasses and accessories, to trophies, instruments, stuffed animals, and more, we have a large variety of props that will compliment the audience and theme of your event. Be it a glamorous wedding, a family oriented event, or an outdoor summer party, we will bring the props that we think will keep your guests coming back for more.
