Photo booth - how much is too much?

Dominique, 2 of February of 2022 at 16:20 Posted on Planning 0 16

I'm looking to book a photo booth for the wedding, and I've just been sent a quote at £575 for 3 hrs. This seems like an unreasonably high cost, I was hoping for more around the £300 mark. Has anyone else gone with a photo booth, and what did you pay for it?

    I recently had a quote of £395 for 3hrs (2x staff, 2xeach print and a guest book) but I am based in the North. Having said that I am still torn and wonder if it is worth the cost! x

    Ours is bundled in with the DJ, lights and the giant light up letters that are all the rage LOL. We are paying £895 for all that for 5 hours. I am in Surrey so not likely to be the cheapest in the first place!

    As I update, I found one I London offering the same for £450 and they gave us 30% off so ended up being a much more reasonably £315. It's called Boothi, if anyone in London is looking for one

    Ours is 500 for 6 hours and unlimited prints they also design a backdrop and present a book with all the pics and a USB. Is important to check what the print limit is, my friend didn't and an hour in they stopped letting anyone print!

    I've found a DJ that includes a photo booth for a 100 extra. Maybe enquire to see if your entertainment/ any entertainment includes it or has at an added cost?

    I have seen quite a few times where people have just got some inflatable guitars/ instruments and a selection of hats and let them loose around the dance floor, seems to work well and everyone has fun taking their own photos. I know of some booths that will charge you if any props go missing, just buy your own and let them "loose"

    Hi I hope you don’t mind, I’m up north as well. Who have you used for your photo booth?


    We are in two minds, as it’s quite pricey whether to do a booth or create our own. Using a instax camera or digital camera and create a nice back drop which can also be used like a ‘selfie’ area. Not sure if that would be cheaper or not 😅

    Hi. There is a company called Picture Blast who currently have 4 hours for the price of 3. A photobooth is £399 and a selfi mirror is £449, they also provide other services.
    I used them for my daughters 18th and sons 30th.
    I am in Nottingham and the company is based in Coventry but I think they travel and do not charge extra.

    Hi,


    We are using diamond photobooths based in South yorkshire. We were tempted to do our own but after seeing these I decided we deserved a professional haha 🤣
