What’s Actually Included When You Book A Photo Booth?
If I had a dollar for every time someone asked,
“What do we actually get when we book you?”
…I could buy myself a sequin jacket in every color. But let’s talk about it, because the answer is important.
This isn’t just “rent a box and hope it works” territory. This is a full-on experience—hosted by me, run by me, and designed to make your event feel like the kind of party people talk about on Monday.
Here’s exactly what’s included when you hire me and Rent My Booth for your NYC event:
1. Unlimited Prints and Instant Digital Sharing
No nickel-and-diming here. Every guest can hop in the booth as many times as they want, get a physical print every single time, and receive their photo by text or email instantly. You want a 2x6 strip? Done. A 4x6 glam shot? Done. Everyone leaves with something in their hand and on their phone.
2. Custom Print Design That Feels Like Your Event
You’re not getting some Canva-template-from-2016 with clip art stars. I make a custom overlay for every event—designed around your vibe, your brand, your colors. If you want a disco ball in the corner or your dog’s face on the strip, we can talk.
3. A Setup That Looks Good in the Room
Clean. Modern. Not clunky or clashing. I bring everything—camera, ring light, backdrop, printer, all the cables—and I set it up in a way that makes sense for your space. It blends in or stands out based on what you need.
4. Props That Aren’t Busted
Listen, props are a slippery slope. You’ve seen the sad ones—crushed top hats, broken glasses, signs with Comic Sans. Not here. I bring fresh, clean, themed (or minimalist) props that people actually want to use. You’ll never see a flimsy paper mustache on a stick at my booth.
5. Backdrops That Match the Moment
Tinsel? Neutral cloth? Something branded? I’ve got options. You tell me what fits your event and I’ll make it happen. And if you want to go wild and create a full scene—I’m here for it.
6. Real Hosting by a Real Human (Me)
I’m not just pressing start and walking away. I’m at the booth the whole time—adjusting lighting, hyping up your guests, helping grandma get in the frame, rebooting tech if needed, and making sure the line moves and the energy stays high. People always say, “Ben, you made the booth feel like part of the party,” and I take that seriously.
7. Candids and Bonus Photos Outside the Booth
While people are hanging out or waiting for their turn, I often snap some behind-the-scenes candids. These are the “you had to be there” shots—laughing with a friend, fixing your hat, doing a peace sign while holding a mini cupcake.
8. Setup and Breakdown That’s Handled by Me
I show up early. I build the booth. I test the tech. And when the party’s over, I pack it all up. You don’t have to think about a thing. And no—I don’t need your groomsman or CEO to lift anything.
9. Simple Pricing with No Weird Fees
Most of my events land somewhere between $600 and $1,200. The price depends on guest count, timing, setup, and location—but the quote you get from me will be the full thing. No extra charge for prints. No hidden travel fees. Just one number, clear and upfront. Gratuity is appreciated although never required.
Final Thought
Rent My Booth isn’t a vending machine. It’s me—showing up with intention, energy, and a setup that makes your event look and feel like it matters. You’re not just booking a booth. You’re hiring someone who’s been trusted at more than 150 NYC events, from rooftop weddings and tech offsites to Bar Mitzvahs and 50th birthdays.
So if you’ve been wondering what’s included, now you know.
Everything you need. Nothing you don’t. And a ton of extra fun along the way.
