What moves the price
- Duration of the hire — the photo booth and attendant are booked for every hour, so a longer event adds to the price.
- Type of booth — an enclosed, mirror or rotating video booth usually costs more than a simple open-air setup.
- Additional features like props — custom backdrops, branded prints and a guest book add to the photo booth package.
- Whether an attendant is included — an attendant on hand for the whole event adds staff hours to the photo booth hire.
- Travel distance — the photo booth and its attendant have to be driven to the venue, and the journey is costed in.
- Event size — more guests mean more prints and paper, and sometimes a longer booking to give everyone a turn.
