So, I have rented a photo booth. What do I do next?
Just relax! We work by contract, we will need to send you a contract and collect a deposit to secure our services for your event date.We will arrive at your event 1 hour early to set up. After the last photo is taken, it will take us an hour to break down. This is NOT included in the time that you rent out. For example, if you choose a 4 hour package, our professionals will actually be at your event for 6 hours.
How much time do you need to set up?
On average we need 1 hour to set up all of the equipment we normally take to events, but this can vary based on the details of your event. Factors to consider at location, services we are providing, power connections and much more. We suggest calling us if you need a true estimate of set up and tear down times.
How much space does it take up?
In general, our footprint is 10′x 10′; however, the set up can scale down to as small as 6′ × 8′ if needed. We have done events in smaller spaces, so if you have a concern about a particular space, let us know. It is preferable to operate in spaces with a 10’ height clearance, to accommodate our studio lighting, but we can fit into a space as low as 7’.
How many people can fit inside the photo booth?
Our photo booths have a capacity limit of 12 people. Compared to the classic boardwalk style photo booths that have a limit of 2-3 people.
Do you provide backdrops?
Yes, we have a variety of backdrops. Check out our backdrop choices. The more we know about your event, the better so contact us, tell us about your theme and we’ll be sure to recommend some options. We can also create custom backdrops and help design sets.
How do your photo booths work?
With the push of a button, guests will have a choice of taking either a color photo or a black and white photo. If traditional photos are chosen, the booth will then take 4 consecutive pictures 7 seconds apart, and then the traditional photo strips will print in less than 20 seconds!
Can the photo booth be setup outside?
Yes, if there is shelter provided such as a tent or cover. If nothing is provided we may be able to provide a cover. There may be an addition charge for this cover. Without shelter, the elements could lessen the quality of the photos. Keep in mind that electricity is required to run the Photo Booth. Here again, we can provide a “quiet” generator to supply sufficient electricity. There will be an additional charge for this service if needed.
Will they fade to nothing after a week or so?
Prints are made using the same technology as one hour photo labs. So there is no need to wait for your print to dry, and risk smudging it all up. When it comes out it’s all done, dry, and ready to enjoy! Your strips should also last you more than a lifetime.
Do we need any special kind of hookup or facilities, to set up the photo booth on-site?
A normal 120 volt 20 amp AC power source is all that is needed, preferably within 10 feet of our set up location.
Can we personalize the prints?
Yes. You have the option of adding text to the prints (such as your event name) a logo or your picture. You may choose to have a picture of the Bride and Groom, birthday girl, etc. as the 4th picture on every strip. You may also add a logo with a date or other special information. We will go over this with you before the event and act upon your approval. To see some examples just click here.
Do you have any suggestions on how to make sure we and our guests take full advantage of the photo booth?
Based on the event, place the booth in a popular area such as near the bar or dance floor. We would suggest you let your guests know where it is and that it is available to them at no cost.
Easy and creative ways to do this is:
- MC or DJ announcements
- Provide a note at the place setting.
- Have us provide an external monitor to display the shenanigans occurring in the booth (this draws crowds)
- Offer the photo with a frame, key chain or specialized logo as a gift
Will there be someone at the event to maintain the photo booth?
Yes. Professionally dressed Hosts on hand and will accompany the booth to your event. They will monitor the booth constantly to insure it’s running properly.
Can we get a copy of the images taken by the digital photo booth?
Yes all photo booth rentals include a USB flash drive with all of the photos taken at high resolution.
Can we regulate how often people visit the photo booth?
Yes. We will come up with a plan with you before the event if you think this will be a problem. This is commonly considered when lots of kids are at an event, as they tend to use the photo booth a lot. Mind you, this is okay by us, but if you think it may be a problem then we can implement a “ticket” plan or something of the sort, that way all the adults will get a fair shot at the fun!
How much time is needed to set up the photo booth?
One hour minimum. If there are any special requirements we may need a little more time.
Do you provide props?
Yes, absolutely. We offer a variety of props including fun hats, glasses, canes, instruments, cameras and vintage props. Let us know what you are looking for, and in most cases we’ll try to put together a custom prop package at no charge.
Can we choose the color of the background? Can we use our own background?
Yes. Our default background is white. But we also offer backgrounds in a variety color and texture choices, click here to see some of the options. If you wish to use your own background make sure it is at least 6 feet wide and 9 feet long.
Do you accept credit cards?
Yes. We accept VISA, Master Card, Discover and American Express. We also accept PayPal! (all are subjected to 3% additional charge)
What is the custom photo scrapbook/guestbook and how does it work?
We provide a high quality scrapbook. Our photo booth host will have a table set up with writing and cutting implements. He/she will assist your guests, as needed, with posting one or more photos onto the guestbook pages. Your guests can then inscribe a personal message to you alongside their photo(s). It’s great casual fun and will be both hysterical and heartwarming to look back on years from now. Many people prefer this over the traditional guestbook.
