Photo booth rentals aren’t only for weddings – multiple events can have them. If you’ve always wanted to book a photo booth, the following events will offer the perfect opportunity to rent one:

1. Wedding

Pictures and videos are often given to the person in the booth and the couple.

Offering photo booths at a wedding helps:

  • Guests add their own touch of magic to the wedding
  • Create lasting memories

If you’re having a wedding, consider some of the more advanced booths, such as the “Vintage” or Orbit 360. These are great improvements over the classic booths that people know and love.

2. Corporate Event

Corporations are known for throwing events for everything from promoting new products to boosting their company’s team building efforts. The corporations of today can provide a new way of viral marketing by offering photo booths at their events.

Let’s take one of the hottest booths of the year as an example: “the Social.”

Attendees can go into the booth and automatically upload their images or videos to Facebook, Instagram, Snap, LinkedIn – anywhere. If you use a watermark, the event will be broadcasted to all of the attendees’ friends.

Or you can allow the attendee to do all of the tagging and leave the watermark off for the time-being.

Corporate events are even more fun when you offer photo booths and the option for your attendees to walk away with a memento that is unique to them – their own pictures or videos.

Don’t want to use the Social booth?

One of the leading booths for corporate events is the Wall Mosaic, which helps create a beautiful mosaic with all of the attendees’ pictures.

3. Holiday Party

When you throw a holiday party, consider doing something fun. The Free Form Roaming Booth is a great option because attendees can walk around the event with a booth in-hand.

This means that you can sneak up on the birthday boy or girl to snap their pictures.

Want to get a picture with the shy guest who hasn’t had their picture taken since high school yearbook? Surprise them with the Free Form. 

Holidays are happy times that everyone should remember, so help create these memories with a photo booth rental.

4. Birthday Parties

Anyone attending the party can show off the event with the Social photo booth, or you can choose from a variety of other booths.

Photo booths add another element of fun to any event, and people love taking pictures. If you’re holding a big event and are considering a booth, we offer the industry’s latest photo booths.

Pride In Our Work

Why We Do What We Do

Photography has always meant something to us. It’s where we got our start, after all. Being able to capture and preserve a moment or memory isn’t something you can get with anything else.  

As everything becomes more and more digital, photography (and by extension, photo booths) have to keep up with the times. That’s why we always try and stay as up-to-date and modern as we can with our photo booths.

Many people decide against booking a photo booth because they think they’re outdated or tacky. Granted, some still are. If we’re talking about some dusty curtain booth shoved in a corner with no attendant, then yes, we agree. They are tacky. But the booths we provide at PBPC are always cutting-edge and top-of-the-line. You won’t find any tacky booths in our repertoire.
