FAQ

How does the Photo Booth work?

Guests shoot their own self-portraits under our professional studio lighting. Shots are printed in a standard photo-booth format (traditional prints available by request) and may also be displayed in a slideshow on projection screens. We’ll even make you a DVD of your Photo Booth pics that can be combined with Video Booth and Dance Cam footage.

Is it a traditional photo booth?

Yes and no. Ours offers the same print options as a traditional photo booth, but it is not a cramped box that three people squeeze into to take bad photos. Our booths offer fantastic lighting, image quality, premium service and more.

How does the Dance Cam Work?

The Dance Cam captures live video on the dance floor—or wherever the action is happening—and projects it onto a large display screen. Visually captivating graphic transitions will entertain guests in-between the videos. Or, if you also have a Photo Booth at your event, still photos will alternate with the video footage.

How does the Video Booth work?

Party guests get a 15-second session to speak their minds or just goof off. Then, the Phototainment crew takes the camera around the room to capture more candid moments. Footage will be edited into a 10-15 minute keepsake video.

Can I have a different color background?

Yes. Our booths generally come with a white background, but other colors are available. Ask us, or check out our Best of Booth Gallery to see other color options in action.

How much does it cost?

That depends on your event, but packages start at $1000 for the Photo Booth, $1500 for the Video Booth and $1100 for the Dance Cam. We want to work with you to meet your individual needs, so please contact us for a personalized quote.

What happens if I order all three?

You’ll get a great, big discount. Contact us to discuss your options and to get a quote.

How much space do you need?

Our photo and video booths’ space requirements are flexible, but on average, each needs approximately 10 square feet. The Dance Cam will either need a place to set up a projection screen or floor space, such as around the perimeter of a dance floor, for multiple monitors.

How long does it take to set up?

We usually need between 60 to 90 minutes to set everything up.

What about an early setup?

For a small additional fee, we will come out to your venue to set everything up in advance and then return when you want to start the party. Once you discuss your plan with us, we take care of everything else.

Is there an operator?

There is always someone available on site from Phototainment to assist your guests.
