So, you're planning a party or corporate event and wondering: How much does a photo booth cost? It’s a question we get daily, and the answer is, it depends on what’s included. Here’s a full breakdown of photo booth rental prices so you know exactly what you're paying for.

💵 Base Rental Fees: The Foundation

As of June 2025, most rentals start around $700–$1,500, depending on hours and package features. This base fee typically covers:

  • Booth setup and teardown
  • Standard backdrop
  • Unlimited photo sessions
  • On-site attendant

🎁 Value-Added Services: Where the Magic Happens

Want prints? Props? Branding? That’s where the value grows.
Look for:

  • Custom Overlays (for weddings, brands, school logos)
  • Social Sharing Stations
  • Animated GIFs / Boomerangs
  • Green Screens or Themed Backdrops

👨‍💼 Staffing and Setup Time

A professional photo booth host runs your booth, engages guests, and ensures quality. Plus, we factor in:

  • Setup (usually 2 hours before your event)
  • Equipment testing & booth calibration

🔌 Tech + Experience = Elevated Events

Higher-end booths offer:

  • DSLR cameras for studio-quality shots
  • Studio flash
  • iPad sharing stations
  • Real-time analytics for branded events and marketing activations
