Things to consider when shopping for a photo booth rental company:
In today’s market, you will quickly learn that there are plenty of digital photo booth companies out there all competing for your business. And that’s a great thing since competition brings better quality and services, all at cheaper prices! However don’t get fooled by the cheapest priced photo booths out there as you also tend to get what you pay for. We put together some things to consider when making comparisons between photo booth rental companies for your convenience. Some of these things may be more important to you than others but either way, it’s a good idea to keep some of them in mind when selecting a photo booth rental company for your next big event.
How Experienced Are They?
Many companies are what we call “One man, One booth” operations. They’ve completed only a handful of events and are sure to learn more and more things the hard way as they progress. Party Booths has completed over 20,000 events to date and that number grows with every passing week. Whoever you hire, make sure they’ve got plenty of experience as the saying goes, “there’s no substitute for experience.”
Do They Have Back Up Equipment In Every Booth?
Let’s face it, cameras fail and laptops will crash. Back up equipment may just prove to be the most important factor to consider when comparing photo booth rental companies. Make sure whoever you book with provides back up equipment just in case of a hardware failure. At Party Booths, every one of our photo booths come with 2 computers, 2 cameras, 2 printers, and 3 flashes to ensure a flawless event EVERY time!
Do They Have A Full Time Staff To Answer Your Questions?
Make sure whoever you hire will actually answer your calls AFTER your check clears. At Party Booths, we man our phones 10 hours a day, 5 days per week! If you have questions regarding your photo booth rental, help is just a phone call away.
How Big Is The Photo Booth?
Our booths measure 5 feet by 6 feet making them much bigger than your traditional photo booths. When it comes to photo booths, more people equals more fun! We can comfortably accommodate 6 adults and if you really feel like having fun, squeeze in another 6 and get ready to have a wild time!
Who Designs The Graphics For The On-Site Prints? Is It Included In The Price?
A huge, often overlooked, detail of your photo booth rental is making sure your on-site print graphics look exactly how you envisioned them. We hire the best graphic designers and refer to them as Photoshop Ninjas. They are that impressive! Our guys will work back and forth with you by sending out email proofs of how the on-site prints will look weeks prior to your event. Submit as many changes as you like, we’re not happy until you’re happy!
What Are The Attendants Like?
Make sure the company you hire is sending someone who will contribute to the fun of the photo booth, not just let the photo booth do all the work. We hire the best attendants we can find and we pay them very well! By paying them so well, we are able to attract the most professional, outgoing, and fun attendants around. Don’t be afraid to ask how much your attendant is being paid? If it’s anything close to $100, run for the hills!
What Are The Options For The On-Site Prints?
Many photo booth companies will limit your layout to the only one that they are capable of doing. That’s no fun! Make sure they provide tons of samples of their previous work too. Like we said before, you want your on-site print graphics to impress your guests. We now have 6 different print configurations to choose from combined with 100’s of samples from prior events all right here on our website that are sure to get your ideas rolling. Our graphics department will design something truly unique for you and it’s even included in the price!
Will There Be Any Guests Attending That Are Confined To A Wheel Chair?
Most booths out there will not accommodate someone in a wheel chair. At Party Booths, all of our booths are ADA compliant meaning if you have a guest in a wheel chair, they can enjoy the photo booth fun just like everyone else!
