Ten Questions to ask your Photo Booth Professional
Photo booths continue to be a popular addition to any special event whether it’s a Wedding, Mitzvah, Sweet 16, Graduation Party, School or Corporate Event. One side effect of this surge in popularity is a wider selection of services and price ranges but also brings an increase in less reputable companies. So how do you know which photo booth professional you should work with? Which one will deliver the quality you expect at a price that makes sense?
Keep in mind price should NOT be the only selection criteria you use.
Quite often a price is cheap for a reason.
Instead consider the VALUE you get for your dollar.
-
Is my date available? Sounds silly but this is the first thing you should ask. Right?
-
How long have you been in business? Look for a company that has been around for several years so you know they have the kinks worked out. (7 years)
-
Do you use a contract? A contract is designed to protect both you and the wedding professional. Don’t settle for a verbal agreement! (Yes we use a contract)
-
Are you insured? How much insurance do you carry? This protects you in case an unfortunate accident should happen. (Yes! We have a $2,000,000 Liability Policy)
-
What style of photo booth do you have? Is it an “open booth”, pipe and drape, Popup Tent, etc. (We use modern Open Booth setup)
-
How many people can you fit in your photo booth? Many booths can only accommodate 2-4 people. (Our Open Booth can hold 12+ guests!)
-
How many reprints do you offer on site? (depends on package)
-
What kind of equipment do you use? (Our booths use professional flashes, DSLR cameras, Dye-sub printers... and it shows in ou quality prints!)
-
What are your prices/packages? Price is often relative, especially when you factor in experience, reputation and expert skill. Generally, the most talented professionals have a higher price tag because they are worth it. (view our pakages for more info)
-
What specifically is included in each package? Because packages often vary, it’s likely that you won’t be able to compare one vendor exactly to the next without doing a little figuring. The lowest cost isn’t necessarily the best deal; some higher quotes include services that you have to pay extra for in other packages. Make sure you take this into account. Look at what your getting!

As you go through the process of contacting Photo Booth Companies Keep the following in mind:
• If you leave a message how long does it take them to return your call? (Side note, what does there voice mail greeting sound like?
• If you contact a company via email how long does it take them to respond?
These things, while simple, may give you an early indication of the level and quality of customer service you can expect.
