Guide: Booking a Photo Booth for Your NYC Holiday Party
The holiday season in New York City is one of the best times of the year. Offices transform into celebration spaces, teams get together outside of their usual work, and everyone is ready to have fun. If you’re planning a holiday party this year, there’s one thing you should definitely include: a photo booth.
I’ve been running Rent My Booth since 2018, and holiday parties are some of my favorite events. From elegant black-tie dinners to casual sweater parties with karaoke, I’ve seen how the right booth setup takes a party from good to unforgettable.
Here’s what you need to know before booking.
Why a Photo Booth is Perfect for Holiday Parties
Instant energy: People love gathering around the booth, laughing at the props, and showing off their festive outfits.
Memories that last: Guests walk away with both instant prints and digital copies, which means they’ll keep reliving the night long after the party.
Low-lift entertainment: While DJs and catering keep people moving, the booth gives everyone an easy way to connect without pressure.
What Makes a Holiday Booth Different
At Rent My Booth, every event is custom, but holiday parties have their own flavor.
Seasonal props (think Santa hats, snowflake glasses, and champagne glasses).
Custom overlays with your company logo and holiday graphics.
Backdrops that pop—from tinsel curtains to velvet to winter sparkle.
Behind-the-scenes content: I capture during the night, which you can use for recaps or social media.
How Much Does It Cost?
For most NYC holiday parties, pricing falls between $650 and $1500 depending on guest count and setup. I keep it simple: no hidden fees, no confusing packages. If you’re planning a larger multi-day event (like a conference or summit), I can also create custom packages with discounted rates.
