FAQ's

Why should I hire a Photo Booth?

Why shouldn't you hire a Photo Booth?? They are suited to every event imaginable and are a ton of fun! Photo Booths are suited to weddings, birthdays, milestone birthdays, engagements, Bar Mitzvahs, Bat Mitzvahs, bridal parties, corporate activations, charity events, galas, festivals and the list just goes on and on!

How many photos do we get?

One print per person, per session is offered which means everyone in the photo gets the chance to take home a piece of the action!

Can we have a photo album?

Of course you can! We have a great range of guestbooks available! When a guestbook is added to your booking your friendly Boothspert will ask your guests if they would like an extra copy printed for the guestbook and encourage guests to leave a message. We also provide pens and glue to be used on the night so you don’t have to worry about a thing!

How many people can fit in the booth?

Our Photo Booths are open so there is a lot more room for people to get in on the photo compared to an enclosed booth. We suggest a group of 5 or 6 for a good photo but we've had as many as 20!

Will my booking come with an attendant?

Yes, all our packages include a friendly Boothspert to ensure that everything runs smoothly on the day! They are there to maintain the photo booth, printer, monitor picture quality, and assist guests with the photo booth.

How much space is needed for the setup?

Generally, we recommend a space of 3 meters by 3 meters to allow enough room for the booth, backdrop, props, and printer! We highly recommend that the set up be designated against a wall when a backdrop is added to the booking. It also helps if we are close to a power point. If you are hosting an activation and are short on space check in with us to see how we can accommodate you.

What are the power requirments?

We require one standard 10 AMP power point within 3 - 5 meters of the setup. We can work with further distances with notice. If a generator is being used we require enough power free of any other loads.

Do you do outdoor events?

Yes! Who doesn't love an outdoor event? It is important to note that outdoor setups are subject to weather conditions. Have a backup plan in place for the set up under adequate shelter or indoors in case of extreme weather conditions such as heavy wind or rain for the safety of guests, staff & equipment. Our equipment also needs power to operate so please be sure a generator is on hand if a power point isn’t handy.

How far do you travel?

You'd be surprised how far we are willing to travel to bring the fun to events! We are Melbourne based and happy to travel all over! Additional travel charges may apply for travel beyond 50KMs of the Melbourne CBD but check in with a friendly Boothspert for an accurate quote!

Do you charge extra for city and Docklands based events?

We do need to charge a touch extra to cover parking and load in for areas that do not have parking onsite, as these require us to arrive earlier to make up time we lose loading in. As we have to load in heavy equipment, we will require notice regarding any loading dock procedures, loading zones, or other spaces nearby to unload.

Our venue is upstairs and there's no lift access!

What a pain! But, not the end of the world! If you require an upstairs set up without lift access, in most cases we can arrange the set up for an additional fee. We will need a member of the party or venue staff to assist upon your attendants arrival and also upon their departure to avoid any risk of injury to our staff. Please be sure to let us know prior so that we can make the necessary arrangements or you risk the photo booth not being set up on time, or at all, and we don't want that!

How many hours can I book?

As many as you like! Check in with us for a quote!

What is idle time?

An attendant will usually arrive between 1 hour and 1 and a half hours prior to your booking time to commence set up. If you wish for an attendant to be set up earlier than your start time or pack down later than your chosen finish time then an idle time fee applies. The Photo Booth will be set up by your chosen time and switched off until your booking time begins.

What if I’m having too much fun and want to book more hours on the day?

No problem at all! Just let your friendly Photo Booth attendant know and they will process your extra time on the spot via cash or credit card! Please note that attendants have the right to refuse your request if they are unable to stay for your newly requested duration.

Do I need to provide a meal for my attendant?

That’s completely up to you! Our attendants do not expect meals but will appreciate them, especially if it’s a long shift.

My venue requires a copy of our Vendors Public Liability, are you insured?

Of course! We are fully insured for public liability and all our equipment is tested and tagged to comply with Australian regulations!

I’m after a beauty booth for my event! Do you have these?

Yup! If you are after the K-dash black and white feel or our fabulous new beauty booth software then let us know! We have a great range of user experiences available!

What’s the Jerk Clause?

Ahh yes, the jerk clause can be found in our terms and conditions, but basically a Photo Booth attendant may refuse to take photos if guests are heavily intoxicated, exhibiting inappropriate behaviour including but not limited to verbal or sexual harassment, refusing to follow instructions, purposefully damaging props and/or equipment or threatening staff, then the Photo Booth will be removed from the premises and a fee will be invoiced for damages. This has never happened but is important to know!

Is there anything else we should keep in mind?

The most important thing to keep in mind is the power and space requirements so that there aren't any delays on the day. It would be awesome if a small table could be organized near the set up area for guests to leave their drinks and also if a guestbook option has been selected!

I’m ready to book! How do I do this and do I need to pay a deposit?

Awesome, we can't wait to work with you towards your epic event! Just send us an email or contact us via our contact page and we will send through our booking form once we have confirmed availability! When we receive your booking form, accounts will process an invoice for you. We require a $300 non-refundable deposit to secure the date with full payment due 14 days prior to your event. The most popular form of payment is direct deposit. Credit Card payments incur a 2.6% surcharge. You will be able to choose your payment method in the booking form and payment details will be listed on your invoice!
