What to Look for When Hiring a Photo Booth for Your Wedding or Event

Not all photo booths are created equal. If you're planning a wedding, corporate event, or party and considering a photo booth, you're already on the right track. It’s one of the easiest ways to add fun, capture memories, and give guests something to talk about. But with so many options out there, how do you choose the right one?

Here are a few things to consider when hiring a photo booth, based on what we’ve learned from years of experience at On Que Photo Booth.

1. Aesthetics Matter

Your event has a style. Your photo booth should match it. Look for a booth that complements your décor, not competes with it. From sleek modern designs to more playful or vintage looks, the right booth should feel like it belongs in your space.

Ask to see examples of past setups or event galleries to get a feel for the company’s visual quality.

2. Technology and Features

The best booths today go far beyond basic photos. Consider what kind of experience you want to offer. Some features to look for include:

• Instant digital sharing via QR code or email
• High-resolution prints
• Fun filters like glam or black and white
• Branded overlays for events and businesses
• Interactive touch screens
• Custom start screens and templates
• Live galleries or access after the event

Choose a setup that feels seamless, modern, and easy for guests to use.

3. Customization Options

The best experiences feel personal. Ask if the booth can be customized to suit your event. This could include branded templates, personalized start screens, matching backdrops, or custom props. These small touches make a big impact and help your event feel one of a kind.

4. Professionalism and Support

A beautiful booth means nothing without great service behind it. Look for a company that responds promptly, communicates clearly, and is happy to walk you through what to expect. On the day of your event, their team should arrive on time, set up efficiently, and guide your guests with warmth and professionalism.

5. Real Reviews and Reputation

Before booking, read recent reviews and testimonials. Look for feedback about the quality of photos, the staff’s friendliness, and how the experience added to the event. A strong reputation is one of the best indicators you’ll get what you’re promised.

Final Thoughts

A photo booth can be more than a novelty, it can be one of the most memorable parts of your event. When done well, it brings energy to the room, connects guests, and gives everyone something to take home or share online.
