More smiles from Maine Photo Booth Co.

Peter Small from Maine Photo Booth Co. chats with my KPW about adding some extra smiles to a wedding! Check out their website: Maine Photo Booth Co.
















What makes you stand out from other photo booth rentals?

Unlike the “curtain and rod” companies, our photo booth is actually a vintage one with very high-end technology, and compared to national companies, our pricing seems to be one of the lowest. Our cost for booth rental is generally between $1,000 - $1,500.

What does the pricing include?

The pricing includes 5-hour rental, including set-up and breakdown. You can always rent the booth for a longer period of time; every hour is an additional cost. It also includes an unlimited number of 6 individual digital photos, either black and white or color. This cost also includes an attendant to assist guests with the booth or provide some inspiration and ideas when taking photos.

What’s the set-up like for the photo booth?

Well, keep in mind, the photo booth is about 750lbs, so it can take us a little bit of travel time, to and from. We typically like to arrive 2-3 hours prior to the event start time and it generally takes us about 15-20 minutes to place down.

What type of venue is the booth suitable for?

The booth can be placed either inside or outdoors underneath a tent. Sometimes, if the ground seems like it’s going to be a little damp, we’ll put a small floor underneath. One thing to discuss with us when renting a booth is, think about whether or not the booth will have to be taken up to a second floor or moved down narrow hallways. Because the booth is so heavy and wide, steep narrow stairs may not be suitable or even fit.

What is the experience like?

It’s funny, when parents of the bride or groom find out this is something they want at the reception, they’re a bit leery at first thinking that guests wouldn't use it. But then once they get into it, they’re the ones that love it the most! And it’s fun to watch! As soon as people begin to do it, it becomes very popular and there is always a steady line to get pictures taken. Oh, and the attendant is always there giving ideas to people who don’t know how to pose :)

What cool things can be done with the booth?

We can interchange the curtain to match their wedding (it costs a little bit more to do), or we can wrap the outside of the booth, as well! Also, on the actual print out of the photo, there is a little gap between the photos where the bride and groom can either have their date, names, or a photo. Also, some brides like to have a scrapbook or photo album next to the booth in place of a guestbook. That way, when guests take pictures, they can cut out a few pictures of themselves, place it in the book, and write a message next to it.
