Photo Booth Hire: Choose From Our Eight Booths

Open-air or enclosed

Open-air booths such as the LCD SlimPod, Selfie Mirror Pod, Retro Pod and Magic Mirror stand against a wall or backdrop with the camera facing the room. Guests can watch each other, the queue becomes part of the fun and the attendant can see what is happening. They suit weddings, where you want the booth to feel part of the party, and rooms where a boxed unit would feel cramped.

Enclosed booths give guests privacy. The Party Booth has a curtain and takes up to eight people, which makes for louder, sillier sessions and works well for proms and office parties. The Inflatable Booth is an LED-lit enclosure for up to ten, and because the glow can be matched to your colours it doubles as a feature in the room. Enclosed options need more floor space and headroom, so check the venue first.

Prints, digital or both

Most of our booths print on the spot and also deliver digital copies, so guests leave with something physical and you receive the full set afterwards. The Retro Pod gives a classic photo-strip look from an inbuilt printer. The Magic Mirror, Selfie Mirror Pod and Inflatable Booth print for every guest in the shot. The LCD SlimPod and Party Booth produce two prints per session plus digital copies.

If you do not need prints at all, the GIF Booth is digital-only: GIFs, boomerangs and stills sent instantly by email or QR code with a custom animated overlay. The 360 Booth is video-led, producing slow-motion clips with music and overlays. Both are popular for brand activations and events where the goal is sharing online rather than filling a guest book.

How much floor space you have

Footprint is the detail most often overlooked. The slim pods, meaning the LCD SlimPod, GIF Booth and Retro Pod, need as little as 1.5m by 2m and a single socket, which is why they work in pubs, community centres and crowded function suites. The Magic Mirror, Selfie Mirror Pod and Party Booth need around 2m to 2.5m square. The Inflatable Booth needs roughly 4m by 4m with 3m of headroom and two sockets, and the 360 Booth has its own requirements that we confirm for your venue at quote stage.

• LCD SlimPod, GIF Booth, Retro Pod: about 1.5m by 2m, one socket
• Selfie Mirror Pod, Magic Mirror: about 2m by 2m, one socket
• Party Booth: about 2.5m by 2.5m, ceiling 2.4m or higher
• Inflatable Booth: about 4m by 4m, ceiling 3m or higher, two sockets
• 360 Booth: space and power confirmed for your venue when we quote

How many guests per shot

Group size changes the experience. Up to six fit in front of the LCD SlimPod, GIF Booth and Retro Pod, which keeps sessions quick and queues short. The Magic Mirror, Selfie Mirror Pod and Party Booth take up to eight, ideal for wedding tables and work teams. The Inflatable Booth holds up to ten, so whole friendship groups can pile in together. For the 360 Booth, guests step onto the platform in small groups while the camera arm circles them.

Working to a budget

Packages start from £299, and the LCD SlimPod is both our most affordable and our most popular booth, with smart background removal, GIFs and virtual props built in. The GIF Booth is the lowest-footprint way to add something interactive to a brand event. The mirror booths, the Party Booth, the Inflatable Booth and the 360 Booth sit higher in the range because of the hardware involved and the impact they make in a room.

Rather than guessing, tell us the budget you are working to and the room you have, and we will tell you honestly which booths fit. Extra hours, a green screen or a second template can be added at quote stage, so you only pay for what you will actually use.

Included with every booth

The service around the booth is the same whichever model you pick, so you can compare them on style and fit alone. Nothing on this list is an optional extra or a chargeable upgrade; it is simply what a Boothdrop Entertainment booking looks like.

Pricing and how to book

Every quote is written for your event, so the price reflects the booth, the hire length and the journey rather than a one-size list. An £80 deposit secures your date and the balance is due one month before the event. Check live availability on our site, or send the date, venue postcode and guest numbers and we will reply within 24 hours with a recommendation and a price.
