What kind of events do you book?
Any kind! From weddings and bar/bat mitzvahs to reunions and corporate parties, wel’ll make sure everyone has a great time!
How does the booth work?
It’s simple! Step inside, touch the screen, and follow the instructions! The booth will show a live video preview and a countdown prior to each photo so you can strike the perfect pose. Meanwhile the side monitor displays each photo outside the booth as they are taken, so that everyone can get in on the fun. The booth will automatically take 4 photos, and presto!...15 seconds later your print is ready!
How big is the booth?
It is a spacious 5’ x 5’ booth than can accommodate up to 10 adults at once, with potential to squeeze in a few more if you're up for it!
What are your setup requirements for the booth?
We require enough space for the booth itself (5'x5'), plus some extra space surrounding the area so your guests can easily move in and out of the booth. We also need to be within 25 feet of a 3-prong outlet. If you select our scrapbook option, we will also need a table and chair to assemble your scrapbook on (a 6' skirted table is ideal).
Do you do outdoor events?
Absolutely! As long as it is not raining or snowing. We do ask there be a hard level surface for us to set up on, preferably shielded from any wind as it causes the booth’s curtains to blow around. Please don’t place us on the dance floor. There is never enough room for the booth and the line of guests. Plus, we can’t dance.
What do I need to do to book you for my event?
All that we require is a signed contract and $200 non-refundable deposit to secure your date!
When is payment due?
A $200 non-refundable deposit is due at the time of booking. This amount gets applied toward the cost of your package, and the remainder is due 15 days prior to your event.
Is there a travel fee?
We'll travel up to 30 miles from our Troy office free of charge. Events over 30 miles have an additional travel fee based on time and distance.
How can I pay?
We accept cash, check, money order, and credit cards (3% processing fee applies to credit card transactions).
How many hours should I reserve a booth for?
Whenever possible, we recommend having the booth open for the duration of your event. If you'd prefer to scale back a bit, you can always opt for less time, or use idle hours as a cost-effective way to split up your package hours. Ultimately, the timing depends on the structure of your event and your own budget. We're happy to work with you to come up with the best schedule for your individual event!
Will the booth operate for the entire duration of my contracted time?
Due to the nature of the photo booth, it will require some basic maintenance during your event. We guarantee that it will be operational at least 90% of the time, but typically our clients don't even notice any down time.
When do you set up / tear down?
We set up the booth 1 hour prior to the booth start time, and tear down 1 hour immediately after the booth end time. [i.e. Setup 5-6pm, Booth open 6pm-12am, Teardown 12-1am] We also offer the option of using idle hours to deviate from this schedule if you would prefer an early setup, late teardown, etc.
What are idle hours?
Idle hours cover any time that the booth is fully assembled but not open for photos, and are $30/hr. For example, if you'd like the booth set up by 6pm but not open until 8pm, or to close the booth for an hour during dinner, etc. They are a great option to use if you'd like to break up your package hours!
How many photos are we allowed to take at your event?
As many as you can squeeze in! There is no limit on the number of photo sessions!
What kind of print options do you offer?
You can choose between the classic photo strip or the 4x6 print shape. Both options have 4 photos and include a custom logo design for your event!
How do the photo color options work?
We offer three colors to choose from -- color, black & white, or sepia tone photos. You can give your guests the choice of all three colors, limit their selection to just two colors, or opt to have all the photos in a single color. It is totally up to you, and there is no extra charge either way!
How many prints can we get?
You receive unlimited access throughout the event and each guest will receive a copy of the photos they are in (ex. if 5 people go in the booth, all 5 will receive a copy of the photo they were in). Our support staff is always available during the event to make sure everything runs smoothly.
How does the scrapbook option work?
The scrapbook option automatically includes an extra set of prints, so one copy of each photo session goes into your album, and the other copy goes home with guests. We provide all the materials needed to assemble a 12x12 scrapbook for you -- album, paper, pens, etc. Our attendant will place each photo strip into the album, encouraging guests to write a message for you. As the pages fill up, they get inserted into protective sleeves. By the end of the night, you'll have a beautiful keepsake of your event that you get to take home right away!
Can I provide my own scrapbook?
Sure! If you'd prefer to choose your own supplies you can do so. You would also need to purchase an extra set of prints to go in it, and provide a person to assemble the book for you (or your guests can have access to all the materials).
What is in the prop box?
All sorts of fun items! Since we're constantly updating our props, the selection may vary from box to box. However they all contain fun items to wear like feather boas, an assortment of hats and masks, sunglasses, and beads; plus goofy items to hold like blow up instruments, sword/shield, wands, and more!
Can I provide my own props?
Sure!
What if I’m not sure which options I want yet?
No problem! We understand that in many cases your event is still months away, so it's ok if you're unsure of all the small details. The most important thing is to get a both reserved for your date, and we can always adjust your timing and options as we get closer to your event.
How soon do I get my scrapbook/online gallery/CD images?
Your scrapbook is assembled as the event progresses, and will be ready to take home at the end of the night! Your images will be posted to an online gallery within 3 days of your event, and we'll mail a CD of all your images within 2 weeks. Want your photos sooner? Upgrade to our USB option and take all your digital photos home with you that night!
