One of NYC’s Top 5 Photo Booths? Here’s What That Really Means.

When I started Rent My Booth in 2018, I wasn’t trying to build the biggest photo booth company in New York. I just wanted to build something people remembered. Something personal. Something that made the night more fun.

Today, Rent My Booth is often listed as one of the Top 5 Photo Booths in NYC on sites like The Bash, The Knot, Yelp, Google, etc. That recognition means a lot to me. Not because I have the most gear or the largest setup. It means people feel the difference when they hire someone for corporate events or birthday parties who genuinely cares.

This is a photo booth that makes guests light up. That looks good in the room. That produces photos people actually keep. And I’m proud to say I run it myself.

What You Get When You Book Rent My Booth

Here’s what every booking includes, no matter what kind of event you’re hosting:

  • Unlimited prints

  • Instant text and email sharing

  • Custom-designed print template

  • Fresh, fun props that fit your vibe

  • A clean, modern backdrop

  • Behind-the-scenes candids throughout the night

  • Setup and breakdown by me

  • Live hosting by me to keep things fun

  • One clear price with no hidden fees

This is a hosted photo experience that adds something special to your event. Guests stay longer. They engage more deeply. And they walk away with something they actually want to share.

Why This Work Means So Much to Me

I don’t outsource. I don’t subcontract. I show up in person, every time. I set up the backdrop, prep the prints, and bring the energy.

When people ask me what makes Rent My Booth different, it’s this: I care. Not just about the photos, but about the people in them. I want you and your guests to feel welcome, seen, and genuinely happy.
