How to Rent a Selfie Station for Your Event 📸

Sep 9

Written By Ben Hawes

If you’re planning an event in New York City, you’ve probably thought about entertainment, food, music, and decor. But here’s one thing that makes every party instantly more fun: a selfie station.

A selfie station is like a modern, interactive photo booth. Guests can step up, snap photos, and share them instantly. It’s the kind of feature that doesn’t just fill time — it creates energy, connection, and memories that people carry with them long after the night ends.

What Exactly Is a Selfie Station?

Think of a selfie station as the upgraded cousin of the classic photo booth. Instead of a small, enclosed box, a selfie station is open-air with a sleek iPad or camera setup, a ring light, and a stylish backdrop.

Guests take their own photos or videos
They can add fun props or branded overlays
Sharing is instant — email, text, or social media
Prints can be included if you want the full photo booth vibe

In short, it’s a mix of convenience, technology, and entertainment that works for any type of gathering.

Why Rent a Selfie Station for Your Event?

Every event needs a “hub” — a place where people gather, connect, and feel part of something. A selfie station does exactly that.

Breaks the Ice: Even shy guests love hopping in for a quick selfie.
Boosts Engagement: People post photos right away, tagging your event and spreading the word.
Creates Keepsakes: Prints and digital galleries give guests something to hold onto.
Customizable: From props to backdrops to branded overlays, the station reflects your event’s personality.

How to Rent a Selfie Station

The good news? Renting a selfie station is easy. Here’s what you need to know:

Decide on Your Event Needs
Think about your guest count, theme, and budget. Are you hosting a wedding, a corporate party, or a birthday bash? The answers will help you choose the right package.
Compare Local Options
In NYC, you’ll find everything from DIY drop-off rentals to fully hosted experiences (that’s where I come in). A drop-off station might be cheaper, but having a host keeps the energy up and makes the photos better.
Look at Pricing
In New York, selfie station rentals usually range from $600 to $1,500, depending on the length of the event and the level of customization. At Rent My Booth, for example, smaller events start at $649, while bigger corporate parties run closer to $1,200–$1,500.
Book Early
Especially during holiday season, stations book up fast. Reach out at least a couple months in advance if you can.

What’s Included When You Rent from Rent My Booth

When you book a selfie station with me, you’re not just getting equipment. You’re getting a hosted experience designed for NYC parties.

Unlimited photos and prints
Curated props and stylish backdrops
Custom overlays to match your theme or brand
Instant digital sharing plus a full gallery afterward
A real host (me!) to make sure every guest feels comfortable jumping in

This is what turns “just a station” into the part of the event that people keep talking about.

Final Thoughts

A selfie station rental isn’t just about photos. It’s about making your event feel alive, giving guests something fun to do together, and creating memories they’ll share for months.
