15 Questions to Ask a Photo Booth Rental Company Before You Book

Before you put down a deposit on a photo booth, there are a handful of questions that tell you everything you need to know. Ask these and you will spot the great companies from the ones to avoid in about five minutes.

Questions about the photos

• Can I see real prints from recent events?
• What does the lighting setup look like?
• Do guests get a digital copy too, or just the print?
• Can the prints be branded or styled to match my event?

Questions about what is included

• What exactly comes with the package?
• What costs extra?
• Is set-up and tear-down included in the price?
• Is there an attendant for the whole event?
• How many hours of service do I get?

Questions about the day itself

• How long does set-up take and when do you arrive?
• How much space does the booth need?
• What happens if a printer or camera fails during my event?
• Do you bring backup equipment?

Questions about booking

• Is my date actually available and how do I lock it?
• What does the deposit and cancellation policy look like?

Why these matter

The answers tell you whether you are dealing with a real studio or someone who bought a booth last month and is figuring it out as they go. A good company answers all of these without hesitating, because they have thought about every one of them already.

The backup equipment question is the big one. Anyone can run a booth when everything works. The pros are the ones who keep things running when a printer dies at 8pm with a line of guests waiting.
