What to Ask Before Booking a Photo Booth for Your Event
Booking a photo booth is one of the most fun parts of planning your event — but a few key questions upfront can make all the difference. Whether it’s a wedding, private party, or corporate event, asking the right things ensures your guests have a fantastic experience and you get memories you’ll actually love.
Here’s your pre‑booking checklist:
What’s included in the package?
Not all booths offer the same experience. Ask what’s included:
- Prints (size, style, unlimited or limited)
- Digital copies (can guests access them instantly?)
- Props and backdrops
- How long the booth will be available
At The Selfie Box, all our packages include professional lighting, unlimited prints, and digital copies for every guest — because everyone should leave with a keepsake.
What’s the setup like?
Some booths are basic pods or boxes that can feel out of place. It’s worth asking how the setup will look and fit in your space. Our booths are designed to complement the venue, with stylish oak frames and luxe backdrops, creating an elegant, high-end look that feels like part of the event.
Who will operate the booth?
Having a trained attendant makes a big difference. They guide guests, keep prints flowing, and ensure everything runs smoothly — something not all booth providers include.
Insurance & safety
Always check if the company is insured. Even small mishaps can happen, so it’s important everyone can relax knowing the booth is covered. They will also need an up to date PAT test certificate
Cancellation & backup policies
Life happens! Ask about rescheduling and backup options — knowing there’s a plan in place keeps everything stress-free.
How will guests get their photos?
Not all booths are created equal when it comes to prints and digital copies. Many traditional setups only give one print per guest and don’t provide online galleries — meaning guests can’t easily share their photos, and organisers have to wait until the event is over to access the gallery.
With The Selfie Box, every guest can take home unlimited prints and receive digital copies instantly. Guests can email or text their photos straight from the booth, and we also upload images live during the event, so your gallery is ready to download and share while the party is still happening. No waiting, no fuss, and no one left out.
Can the booth be customised?
Customisation separates a good booth from a great one. From bespoke print templates to a choice of backdrops, this is your chance to make the experience feel personal, stylish, and in line with your event or brand.
Bottom line
Before booking, asking the right questions ensures your photo booth is a highlight, not just an add-on. The Selfie Box combines professional lighting, stylish backdrops, unlimited prints, and live digital galleries with a team that genuinely loves making events fun. The result? An experience your guests will rave about and memories that last long after the music stops.
