How much does photo booth rental cost in 2026?

A photo booth rental costs $300 to $1,200 for a typical three-to-four-hour event, with 360 spinning booths often running $600 to $1,500. The number lands where it does based on three things: the booth type, how many hours and prints you want, and how busy the season and day of week are. Open-air and digital booths sit at the low end; enclosed booths with an attendant and unlimited prints sit higher.

We build websites and marketing for event vendors, so we see how these packages get priced and where the add-ons hide. Here's the honest breakdown for whichever side of the booking you're on.

What the price tiers actually buy

Digital / open-air booth

$300–$600

A camera-and-screen setup with digital sharing by text or email, a backdrop, and props. No printer to run, so it's the cheapest. Great for younger crowds who want photos on their phones immediately.

Enclosed booth with prints + attendant

$500–$1,200

Unlimited prints, a custom template with the couple's or company's name, an attendant on site, and usually a guest book. The classic wedding and corporate package. Most of the cost is the printer, the staffing, and the higher-end hardware.

360 spinning booth

$600–$1,500

A platform with a camera arm that captures slow-motion video clips guests share instantly. The priciest because the gear and the wow factor are higher. Popular for quinceañeras, big birthdays, and brand activations.

What moves the price

When you should not rent one

An honest take, even though we work with the vendors who rent them:

If you rent out photo booths

The vendors who win these bookings are the ones whose site shows clear packages, real event photos, and instant availability — not a contact form that takes two days to answer. A booking-first site and a strong Google Business Profile are how you capture couples and event planners while they're comparing quotes.

Our plans start at $249/mo for a site with AI lead capture, with a free demo in 48 hours. See event vendor websites, starting a photo booth business, DJ marketing, and the cost guides hub.

Common questions

What's a typical price?

$300–$1,200 for a 3–4 hour event, with 360 booths $600–$1,500. Booth type, hours, and prints drive most of the difference.

What's included?

Usually the booth, an attendant, backdrop, props, and prints or digital sharing. Watch for add-ons: extra hours, custom templates, a guest book, idle time, and travel.

When should I skip it?

Very small events, tight venues, or a stretched budget. A phone and backdrop cover a small party, and food and music matter more.
