What moves the price

  • Booth type — an open-air booth costs less than an enclosed booth, a magic mirror or a 360 video platform
  • Hours on site — most photo booth packages run two to four hours, and each extra hour adds to the hire
  • Prints — unlimited instant prints use paper and ink, so they cost more than digital-only sharing
  • Props and backdrops — themed props, a sequin wall or a green screen are priced as photo booth extras
  • Attendant — a host who helps guests and keeps the queue moving is part of the better packages
  • London and peak dates — photo booths in London and on summer Saturdays sit at the top of the range

How to pay less

  • Book the photo booth for the evening only, when most guests are on the dance floor
  • Choose an open-air photo booth instead of a 360 video or magic mirror booth
  • Ask for digital-only sharing if guests do not need printed photo strips

Before you book

  • Check the photo booth will fit the venue, with space for a queue and a power socket nearby
  • Ask whether the photo booth supplier carries public liability insurance and PAT-tested kit
  • Tell guests photos may be shared online, and ask the supplier how images are stored and deleted
  • Confirm the hours, prints, props and any travel charge in writing
