If you are renting a photo booth for a wedding or corporate event, follow these steps to be sure you get what you need and know what you are paying for.
Firstly, the closer the company is to your event, the easier it is for the company to get to your event. Things such as traffic and bad weather can stop or slow some companies down from making it to the event on time. This is not to say that the closest companies are the best, just preferred.
Secondly, how much time do you need for the rental? If you have unlimited funds, be sure you know beforehand how much more the rental cost is if you decide to extend the rental for one hour or more. Usually, a rental will state in the contract something such as $100 per hour extra.
For groups of more than 200, consider 4 hours for a rental. Less than 200, three hours of rental will normally suffice. But know your guests. Sometimes guests love to go all out in the booth for hours on end.
Thirdly, do you really need the extras? See what is included. Are they charging you to make a logo on the photos? This takes only a few minutes, so this should not be an extra charge. Are they hosting the photos online and are they free to access? This should be included in the rental cost. Also, how much are a bin of props? You can make your own and save more than $50 most often. You only need a few hats, boas, glasses, and maybe a silly doll of sorts. The later the night gets, usually the props are utilized and provide buckets of laughs and entertainment.
Fourth, be sure to make a guest book. If you are being charged more than $50 for a guest book, just buy your own. You can get scrapbook and materials nearly anywhere.
Most importantly, don't hesitate to rent a photo booth, as they have proven to be a phenomenal staple at weddings and dances across the country.
