Pricing and Booking
How much does it cost to rent a photo booth?
The flat-rate package prices are $600 for 2 hours, $700 for 3 hours, and $750 for 4 hours. All three include the same photo booth features and two attendants. The 4-hour option is the best value at $187.50 per hour, with the fourth hour costing just $50 more than the 3-hour package.
How long should I rent the booth for my event?
Choose 2, 3, or 4 hours based on the part of your event when you want guests taking photos. Two hours can suit a shorter celebration, while longer gatherings may benefit from more time. Four hours provides the lowest hourly package cost. Share your schedule with us if you would like help comparing the options.
How far in advance should I book?
Check your date as soon as your event plans are clear enough to share a venue or town and preferred rental time. Availability must be confirmed for the particular date, so there is no guaranteed booking window stated here. Send the event details before treating a package as reserved for your celebration.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A $100 deposit is required, with the remaining balance due after your event. Venmo and Zelle are accepted. Include your event date and preferred rental hours when checking availability, and wait for direct confirmation of the booking. Please ask us about cancellation or refund terms before you reserve.
What's Included
What is included in every package?
Each package contains an open-air photo booth, two attendants, unlimited photos and prints, custom photo design, props, backdrop, guest book, physical frames, and keepsake photo folders. Setup is free, and the original digital files arrive by Google Drive within 3 days. Please ask about the quantities of frames and folders when planning your event.
How many attendants come with the booth?
Two attendants stay on site throughout your rental time. One helps guests at the camera while the other looks after prints, frames, and the guest book. Both are included in the 2-, 3-, and 4-hour packages, so the second attendant is not a separately priced addition to the service.
Do you bring props and a backdrop?
Yes, props and a backdrop come with every package. Your guests can use them during the booked photo booth time, with our attendants there to help. Tell us about your celebration theme when requesting a date so we can discuss the photo design and the included setup together.
How does the guest book work?
A guest book is included as a keepsake for the event, and our attendants help look after it alongside the prints and frames. It gives the host a place to collect photo memories from the celebration. Ask us about the arrangement for your particular event while we plan the custom photo design and rental details.
Setup and Space
Do you charge for setup time?
No, the setup hour is free and sits outside your paid rental time. We arrive before the event to prepare and test the booth, so your chosen 2, 3, or 4 hours remain available for taking photos and printing them. The package price includes this preparation rather than counting it as guest photo time.
How early do you arrive?
Our team arrives 1 hour before the event starts to set up and test the photo booth. Please share the venue and event schedule when checking availability so we can discuss the setup plan. That arrival hour is included at no charge and does not reduce the rental hours you select.
How much space and power do you need?
The booth needs access to a power outlet. Please send the room or setup location so we can confirm the required floor space and electrical arrangement for your venue. Outdoor events are available too; discuss the location and weather protection with us in advance so we can confirm the setup details.
Photos and Prints
Are photos and prints unlimited?
Yes, photos and 4x6-inch prints are unlimited during the rental time you book. Guests can return to the booth for more pictures, and prints are produced at the event. This applies to every package, with two attendants helping throughout the booked hours. Your original digital photos are also included after the celebration.
How and when do we get the digital photos?
You receive the original photo files through a Google Drive link within 3 days after the event. Digital delivery is part of each package, in addition to the prints made on site. The link gives you the originals from your rental so you can keep and share the photos afterward.
Can we customize the photo design?
Yes, a custom design is printed on every photo. It can include names, an event date, a company logo, colors, or the celebration theme. Share those details when planning the rental. Custom photo design is already included in all three packages rather than being offered as a separately priced upgrade.
Event Day
Which towns do you serve?
We are based in Waltham and serve Newton, Watertown, Lexington, Belmont, Weston, Wellesley, Cambridge, Brookline, and Boston. Share the venue as well as the town when you inquire, so we can confirm travel and setup details. For another location, ask us about service before making plans around the booth.
