What to check before booking
Not all photo booths are the same. A few quick checks can save you money, stress, and disappointment.
Is it a dedicated photo booth business?
Some operators offer booths as a side add-on. Dedicated booth providers tend to have better equipment, backups, and experience.
Open-style or enclosed?
Open-style booths allow larger group shots, better lighting, and cleaner images - especially in modern venues.
Are prints truly unlimited?
Watch for capped print limits for each session or “per copy” charges once the event gets busy.
Prints and digital sharing
Instant prints are great on the night, but guests also expect digital copies and sharing options.
Transparent pricing
Clear packages beat “email for a quote” surprises and any hidden or last-minute add-ons.
Local operator, local support
Canberra-based operators know the venues, avoid travel fees, and can respond quickly if something goes wrong.
Public liability insurance
Reputable operators carry appropriate insurance for events and venues.
Tested and tagged equipment
Electrical equipment should be current and compliant with venue requirements.
Backup equipment and redundancy
Professional operators plan for failures, not excuses.
Multiple booth capability
Experience running more than one setup matters for larger or time-critical events.
Event experience, not just gear
Knowing how to manage guests, queues and timing is as important as the booth itself.
