💍 How Long Should You Rent a Photo Booth for Your Wedding? (Real Timelines, Real Results)

💍 How Long Should You Rent a Photo Booth for Your Wedding? (Real Timelines, Real Results)

You’ve picked the perfect venue, booked the DJ, and now you’re eyeing a photo booth—but one question lingers:
“How long should we keep the booth running?”

At Epic Events, we hear this all the time. And the truth? The best photo booth timeline depends on your wedding flow—and the kind of experience you want your guests to have.

Let’s break it down, hour by hour.

🎯 3 Key Factors That Determine Booth Duration

1. Guest Count & Flow:
If you’ve invited 100 or more guests, less than a 4 hour rental may not be enough time for guests to enjoy the booth without waiting in line all night.  

2. Venue Timeline:
Even if you want the booth to start after dinner, it may not be possible to setup without being noticed by your guests.  This is why we suggest being setup before your guests enter the reception.  

3. Your Budget & Booth Type:
Open-style booths (like ours!) with prints work great for 4+ hours. Want to maximize the glam factor? Add on a scrapbook station or guestbook table to collect all those memories.

🕒 Sample Wedding Timeline with Photo Booth

6:00 PM – Ceremony
7:00 PM – Cocktail Hour
8:00 PM – Dinner (photo booth is setup and waiting)
9:00 PM to Midnight – Booth is Live

✔️ Prime Time Activation = Dancing + Photo Ops
✔️ Late Night Laughs = The best guest pics happen when everyone’s loosened up!

“We had Epic from 8 to 12, but they setup earlier than that, and it was perfect. Our guests couldn’t get enough!” – Lindsey + Carlos, Bethesda, MD

📸 What Happens If You Book for Too Little Time?

• Guests miss out. There’s always someone who jumps in last-minute.
• You lose the hype. A booth that ends too early can kill party momentum.
• You miss your own moments. You’ll be pulled in all directions—make sure you get time in the booth too!
