Want To Know How Much A Photobooth Cost To Hire


Are you considering hiring a photo booth for your next event? Photobooths are becoming ever more popular for weddings, parties and corporate events, but of course, one of the factors to consider is the cost.


Photo booth hire prices will vary depending on the type of booth you are looking for, the area you are located in, and some of the additional features you may require, so there's no "one size fits all" solution.


However, great value doesn't always mean the cheapest quote. With this in mind we explore everything you need to know about photo booth hire costs.


What Type Of Photobooth Do You Want To Hire

Gone are the days when a photobooth came in just one shape and size. Nowadays you can pick from selfie pods, magic mirror booths, GIF pods and much more!


The costs will often depend on how long the booth takes to set up, whether you require an attendant and also what other technology is involved.


With Boothco, one of our most popular and affordable options is the Party Pod. From just £475 for a four hour package, this is one of the most cost effective ways to capture your day. With no attendant needed, and a "self service" option, selfie pod booths provide all of the fun with less of the cost.



Be Careful Of Extras

When looking at costs, be careful to look at what's provided in the price stated. For example, some photo booth hire companies will cap how many prints you can have or not provide props for your guests.


Here at Boothco we include all of the below with our Party Booth hire.

  • Unlimited photos
  • Unlimited Boomerang GIFS
  • Full box of fun props
  • Choice of backdrops
  • Virtual on-screen props
  • Secure online photo gallery and digital copies of your photos
  • Professional attendant on the day


And much more. Of course, what's included may depend on the booth you choose, but be mindful that if the features you really want aren't included, what looks like an affordable quote may start to mount up.


Length Of Time

Before getting a quote, consider how long you want to hire a photo booth for. For example, all of our standard packages include four hours hire as standard. While this is generally ideal for a wedding or a party, if you are considering hiring a photo booth for say, a two-day business trade show, you may need a longer hire slot, so factor this into your costs.


Number Of Photos

Want to make sure that every special moment is captured. Be mindful that, in some cases photo booth hire companies may limit the number of prints you can have, and will only travel with a limited amount of ink and paper.


We ensure that you'll never run out - offering your guests unlimited visits and you unlimited photos making sure that all of your special memories are captured.



Do You Need Design

Whether you are a business wanting to ensure that your booth and prints are branded, or simply a happy couple who want a particular print type for your wedding album, adding a unique style to your prints can help to capture your day in a more unique way.


Unlike many photo booth suppliers, at Boothco we include print design as standard with most of our hire types. That means you get access to our very own in-house designer who will help you to create a unique look for your photos.


We can also help to create external design for your booth, so whether you're looking to make your brand stand out, or match the exterior with your theme, we can help you to make something special.


Consider The Location

When putting together your budget, looking at the location is a must. Of course, it will most likely be that photo booth companies which are closer to your venue may offer a better deal.


However, there can be other location considerations that will affect how much you will pay. For example, if your venue is difficult to access or incurs costs such as parking or tolls, you may need to factor this into your budget.



Value Vs Cost

One of the most important points to consider when evaluating the costs of photo booth rentals is that if your photos aren't of good quality, or you don't get to capture what you want to, then what can appear to be a cheap deal, is actually a complete waste of money.


Therefore, when selecting photo booth hire companies it's imperative to research their reputation as well as any reviews or feedback from previous clients.


Sadly, there are operators out there who don't pay attention to the quality of your images. Here at Boothco we pride ourselves in using our own photobooth design and software, ensuring that you get perfect prints every time.


We are also fully transparent about what's included in pricing of all of our booths, so you can choose the option that suits your event, and your budget best.

When evaluating quotes, make sure you compare like-for-like services to ensure you are getting the best value for your money.
