FAQ

General

How much space does the photo booth need?

We require an area of at least 2m x 3m at the venue to set up the photo booth. Please allow additional space for your guests to gather. Our booth requires a dedicated 220V outlet within 5m of the booth.

How many people can fit into the booth?

Our Open booth can easily fit up to 12 people, while our closed booth can fit comfortably 4-8. Please check out Facebook albums for an idea.

How much set-up time is required?

Set-up generally takes 30 minutes, however we aim to always arrive an hour prior to the hire start time in order to ensure the booth is fully operational as soon as the start time commences.  Our rates are based on the time the photo booth is fully operational and do not charge set up or tear down fees.

Are props included with the photo booth hire?

Yes. A wide selection of fun and relevant props is included with each package. Do let us know if your event is themed or require tailored props, we will strive to meet those expectations.

Does someone stay with the booth?

A Boothy Call attendant will be present during your event to take care of operations and your guests for the entire length of hire. We assure an excellent and friendly service from our staff, and a hassle-free and fun experience for you and your guests.

How many photos will we get?

You and your guests can take as many photos as you like during the hire period. Each photo booth session produces TWO 2×6 photo-strips. These photo-strips will be handed to the guest of each photo session. Guests can always line up again for more photos.

How can we view our photos after the event?

All photo-strip images will be uploaded to our Facebook page at: https://www.facebook.com/boothycallau
