Frequently Asked Questions

What are your photobooths like?

We have custom-designed a photobooth that provides a true, classic photobooth experience!  When you enter one of our photobooths you will take a seat on a bench, press a red button, take four pictures, and receive your photostrip in a drop-box on the side of the photobooth.  Just like a classic photobooth!  Click here to see a picture of the booth.

Important Note:

We have noticed that other photobooth companies in the Chicagoland area have a tent of curtains or a large sectioned-off area that they call a “photobooth”.  You will stand while taking your pictures and receive your photos from a photobooth attendant sitting at a table with a printer next to him.  To us, this is not a true photobooth, it is a glorified picture station.  Please be careful when booking your photobooth company!

Does the photobooth print out photos on the spot?

Yes!  And the quality of our photostrips is unsurpassed! Our photostrips are printed on quality photopaper, so there is no ink to dry, smudge or fade — unlike other digital photobooths that just use inkjet printers — and the prints will last longer, up to 100 years.  Also, they are 100% chemical-free.

How big are your photobooths and how many people can fit in them?

Our photobooths are approximately 3 feet wide by 7 feet long by 6 feet tall.  The bench inside the booth can comfortably seat two people, but we’ve seen as many as 8 people squeeze into the booth!

How many photostrips can we print at our event?

You get unlimited prints with all of our packages, so your guests can use the photobooth as many times as they like during your event.  Our photobooths can print up to 60 photostrips per hour, so during a typical 4-hour event the photobooth can easily print over 200 photostrips!

How mobile are your photobooths?

We can set up our booths anywhere.  We only require a regular 110V household power outlet.  If your event happens to be outdoors then we require that the photobooth be located in an area that’s covered by an awning/canopy/tent in order to protect the booth from rain.

What happens if the photobooth stops working?

This is extremely unlikely.  Since we built it, we know the booth inside and out and are able to problem-solve VERY quickly.  It is also contractually guaranteed to work at least 80% of time, with a couple minutes here and there to restock paper and ink.

How much does it cost, and what’s included?

Prices are based on rental time.  Packages include: A full-time photobooth attendant, free delivery to the Chicagoland area, set-up and removal, unlimited photostrips, your choice of color or black & white or sepia prints, and a high-resolution DVD with all the digital images. Please click for details on each package: Basic Package, Deluxe Package, Weekday Package.

Do you ever have special offers or discounts?

Yes! Be sure to look at our Facebook page where we occasionally post special offers or discounts.

Do you charge extra to put a customized logo on our prints?

No!  If you choose to have a logo put on your prints there is no additional charge.

Do you charge extra if our event is located outside of the Chicagoland area?

Yes.  We charge extra for service outside of the Chicagoland area, depending on distance and whether we would incur hotel expenses.  Please let us know where your event is located and we will give you a quote.

Is there any tax?

No, there is no tax because this is a rental service, not merchandise for sale.

How can I find out if you are available on my event date?

You can either click here to send us a request via e-mail, or give us a call at 630-54-BOOTH (that’s 630-542-6684).

How do I reserve my date?

To formally reserve your event date, all we require is a signed contract along with a $100* deposit. This will officially lock in your date and price for your event!

*This lock-in rate applies to packages that are purchased at least six (6) months before the scheduled event.  All other packages require a 50% deposit at the time of booking.
