Suffering from sticker shock while pricing photo booth rentals?

If you are like many people considering a photo booth rental for the first time, it can seem quite overwhelming. Searching for vendors, making phone calls and receiving all of those quotes can easily become mind-boggling. And then there’s the prices! For some, it may be more than what you were expecting. Here’s a few things to consider when shopping for a photo booth rental:

• Know what you are expecting from your photo booth rental before you begin your search

Believe it or not, there’s more to a photo booth than just the entertainment factor. Maybe you would like to give your guests a keepsake of your special day. Photo strips make a great party favor for weddings, birthday parties and mitzvahs. Make sure you ask your vendor if they print out photo strips on site. Many people are surprised to find that some vendors only offer a flash drive and some others only offer online galleries and no actual prints at all.  

Are you are having a business or corporate event? A photo booth is a great way to keep your guests mingling and engaged. You should ask your photo booth vendor if they have the technology to add email and social media to your photo booth package. Many vendors do not offer this service.  With Goofy Photo Booth’s social media package your guests will have the ability to post their photo strips on any social media outlet they choose such as Facebook, Instagram or Twitter.  We can even send animated gif files of their photo strip right to their phone in an instant. People love to share photos and what’s better than your guests sharing on social media and letting everyone know what fun they were having at your event!

If you are really wanting to blow your guests away, be sure to ask your vendor if they offer Green Screen technology. Your guests will really be amazed when they see their pictures in front of the Eiffel Tower or in Times Square or virtually anywhere!

• Remember the saying You Get What You Pay For 

When you are shopping for a new TV you are probably willing to spend a little more for the better picture quality and trustworthiness of the name brand rather than spend less for a name you’ve never heard of before and who’s quality you are unsure of.

At Goofy Photo Booth we take the time to work with each and evey client to customize their photo booth rental to suit their specific needs. You are not going to get just a plain white photo strip with your name on it, unless, of course, that’s what you want. We customize graphics for photo strips, we provide backgrounds and props that are a cut above the rest. We use only the highest end DSLR cameras in our photo booths to ensure beautiful photos (some vendors take their photos with iPads or other tablets). We use professional lighting equipment and top of the line technology in everything from our software to our printers. Attendants are present at every event in case of any malfunction.

Our goal is to make your event go off without a hitch and provide your guests with a great time they will go home talking about!

• Ask Questions

It’s important to know that you are going to get everything you are expecting from your photo booth rental. Take the time to ask each vendor if they offer the services you need. I always encourage my clients to shop around and talk to everyone.  See what it really is they are getting for the price and remember if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
