Like any service prices for photo booths can vary massively from supplier to supplier and to make matters even more difficult, different suppliers offer wildly different options, packages and prices and include or exclude many different items. In this article, i will be using my 10 years of experience in the events industry to answer the question. How much does it cost to hire a photo booth for your wedding?

In a nutshell, the cost to hire a photo booth is between $800-$1500 per hour, and generally most companies have a 2 or 3-hour minimum hire. Additional prints, custom backdrops, and custom artwork matching your wedding theme are popular add-ons that will increase the cost. More often than not, weekdays are generally easier to negotiate a discount than weekends.

Photo booths are a hot ticket for every party, wedding, corporate event and activation. Once reserved for passport photos, nightclubs and shopping centres, photo booths became increasingly popular for events in the early 2000s and haven’t slowed down since. Photo booths are becoming so essential to a wedding, that couples are booking them before their live entertainment to secure their favourite company. But there’s no reason to stop at only weddings; photo booths add fun to pretty much any type of social or private event.

You can hire a photo booth company to attend your event, set up and operate a photo booth, and provide guests with customised keepsakes in the form of bespoke prints. Many photo booth companies set a limit on prints for the duration of the rental E.g 2 prints per session, 4 prints per session or even unlimited prints per session as well as providing fun or sometimes even themed props & signs for guests to sass up the photos.

Nationally, the average cost to hire a photo booth for a wedding ranges between , corporate events rates is even higher because of the additional customisation and branding that is required. Hire time is a major factor in the total fee; longer rentals will command a higher price. Day of week and time of year can also affect costs with some companies. If you are planning your event on a Friday or Saturday, don’t expect any type of discount as this is considered prime time in the events industry. Chances are if you don’t book at full price, someone else will. Weekdays are considered ‘quiet time’ for weddings and private parties. Great discounts can be negotiated during these periods but on the other hand, a lot of corporate events are booked in for weekdays which always demand a higher fee.

The type of photo booth you rent will also have an impact on cost. Often, Selfie Mirrors cost more to rent due to their size and initial cost to purchase is much higher than a standard photo booth. Photo booths vary widely in terms of functionality, such as customisable green screens, GIF and Boomerang creation, and professional cameras will also cost more. For larger events, photo booth companies offer an unlimited amount of customisation to reflect a brand, style or theme.

Not only for weddings! Photo Booth are also requested for private and social parties, birthdays, festivals, work parties, corporate events, launch events, high-school reunions, fundraisers, proms, school events, sweet 16s, and other special occasions, photo booths are a very well received party addition for any size event or crowd. There are many kinds of photo booths available: enclosed photo booth, an open photo booth with a backdrop, Selfie Mirror or Magic mirror as its also known, GIF Stations, Boomerang booths, Roaming photos, hashtag printers and more coming on the market all the time. Rental costs can vary greatly, depending on the type of booth as well as a variety of add-ons.
