Why you should have a photo booth rental at your event

You have the venue, the catering, and the photographer booked. Your guest list is ready and you want your event to be a stunner! We know that a photo booth rental isn’t often the first item on your event planning checklist. But, booking a photo booth rental for your event can be a game-changer for your guests and the experience they have.

So, why have a photo booth rental at your event?

Photo booth rentals are a fun and interactive way to capture memories and create keepsakes for everyone who attends. It’s a central attraction that your event attendees will buzz around, and a great way to create even more hype during your event. Trust us, from our experience, your photo booth will be something that your guests will be talking about for months and years to come! 

Do you know what you can hire a photo booth rental for?

Photo booth rentals are becoming more and more popular, and we’ve had clients book us for all types of events! The sky is really the limit, but here are some of the most common events we book:

Weddings!

Weddings are our bread and butter. We’re a family owned business, and it’s so fun to watch the love that goes on during a wedding day. We handle all the set-up and take-down for your wedding photo booth rental, so it takes a lot of the stress out of adding another component to your event. 

We’ll get into this more later, but you can customize your photo prints so that they incorporate you and your partner’s names, your wedding monogram, or some kind of important symbol! We also love photo booth rentals for weddings, because they’re a great way for your guests to have fun together, and to get to know each other. Bringing a bunch of your loved ones together on a wedding day can be a lot, so it’s fun to have everyone connect at your event.

Corporate or company events.

This can include everything from company holiday parties, networking events, trade shows, conferences, summits, or really, whatever your dream team can dream of! A photo booth rental is a great way to impress your clients, team members, and other company stakeholders. 

We believe that a company or corporate event can be so much more than just a dinner or series of speeches and presentations. You can really bring the party to the event, and give your guests a memorable experience that will make them appreciate your company even more!

All kinds of parties.

Here at 5 Star Memories, we love celebrating life, and there are so many ways to do it! From baby showers and bridal showers to birthday parties, holiday parties, and anniversaries, photo booth rentals are a unique way to celebrate you and your loved ones. Life is too short to not capture photos of the people most important to you, and a photo booth rental helps you to do that in a really effortless, experiential way. 

We’ll work with you based on your event to customize the experience so that your special event feels really thoughtful and elevated.

Here’s why you should consider booking our photo booth rental for your next event:

1. A photo booth rental is a great, unique way to keep your guests entertained. It’s like instant entertainment for your guests!

Whether your event is a wedding, birthday party, corporate event, or any other type of gathering, a photo booth can provide hours of entertainment for your guests. It’s a fun activity that will bring people together and give them something to laugh and smile about throughout the event.

We love how our photo booth rentals bring guests together and start conversations. Think about that one friend at your wedding who has brought a date but doesn’t know anyone else – a photo booth rental is a great way to break the ice and get them having fun!

2. Photo booth rentals elevate the overall experience for your guests.

This ties in with keeping your guests entertained, but photo booth rentals bring a certain amount of a luxury, elevated feel to your event.

We also have balloon decor, which is another great way to make your event feel more put together. The bar has risen for what people expect out of events, and photo booth rentals are a great way to meet that.

3. Photo booth rentals take the load off your photographer.

This is one factor that you may not have thought of, but when you book a photographer, the timeline for getting all the shots you want and need can be really tight. If you have a really large event, like a big wedding or a corporate event, there’s not a guarantee that the photographer will get shots of each and every guest.

This is especially true on your wedding day. Having a photo booth rental allows every single guest to bring home a photo, and maybe even get a photo with you, the event host! Your photographer can focus on capturing the really, really important photos, like the one of you and grandma or your father-daughter dance, while the photo booth can get all the pictures of your friends, family, and coworkers!

4. Photos make the best gifts for your guests!

Party favors are great, but they can often feel wasteful, or be really costly. Like, have you ever gotten home from a wedding then found that you have no real use for the bubbles or jordan almonds you received? All of our packages come with digital photos, and some of our packages come with printed photos, so you can really customize your photo favors to your interests and the experience you want your guests to have.

Not only are photos more economical, but they’re more eco-friendly than favors that require a lot of plastic or – the worst – hundred of favors that you’ll end up taking home yourself.

Check out our packages and what’s included in each one so that you know what to expect. When you break down the cost, a photo booth rental is a great substitute to the cost of entertainment like lawn games, and an exchange for the cost of party favors. 

5. You can brand your photo booth experience.

We love this option for corporate events especially. If you’re hosting an internal company event, or impressing your clients, you can show off your company’s logo on the photo strips or other printed photos that you provide as favors. The impressions that your company can get from this fun add-on are limitless. This is also a fun addition to personalized events like weddings, baby showers, and bridal showers. Adding in your name or monogram to photos is a sweet way to help guests remember the unique experience of your special day.

You can even brand the experience with customized props. We provide a number of props, but if there are specific, personalized props that you want to tie in to your photo booth rental, reach out and we can talk about customizing that experience for you.

6. Our photo booth rental is convenient!

Here at 5 STAR Memories, we will take care of everything from setting up the booth to providing props and backdrops. All you have to do is book and then relax while we handle everything photo booth related, from start to end.

Our team will also be on hand to make sure everything runs smoothly, and that your guests are having the time of their lives! This means you can relax and enjoy your event without having to worry about the logistics of the photo booth, like answering questions or making sure that your guests get their photos. 

7. Instant gratification.

We all know that we live in a fast-paced society where we want what we want, and we want it yesterday (haha). One of the best things about a photo booth is the instant gratification it provides for your guests. Your guests can have their photos printed on the spot and take them home as a keepsake. This is a great way to create a physical memory of the event that guests can look back on for years to come. We also offer digital copies of the photos, so your guests can spread the word or share memories about your event on social media! 

8. Booking our photo booth rental can actually save you money in the long run.

We offer packages that include photo prints, fun props, photo backdrops, and set-up and take-down for a flat fee. This means you don’t have to worry about paying extra for each photo or prop, and you also don’t have to worry about hiring someone separately to manage the booth at your event.

It’s a really great choice if you’re budgeting for your event but still want a unique, premium experience for your guests. 

If you’re looking to have an entertaining event that will be a premium experience for your guests, booking our photo booth rental is a great option. We’ll help you create an experience that your guests will remember, and pictures so that they can treasure the memories for a lifetime.
