How Much Does a Wedding Photo Booth Cost? (And a Cheaper Way)
Photo booth prices vary a lot, so it helps to see what you are paying for and where the money goes. Here is a realistic picture, plus a cheaper option that captures more of the day.
What a traditional rental costs
Most wedding photo booth rentals price by the hour, and the base rate is only the start:
- A base package for a few hours of booth time and an attendant
- Add-ons for props, backdrops, and custom print templates
- Per-print or unlimited-print upgrades
- Extra hours, idle time, and travel fees
By the time the extras are in, a rental is often one of the pricier line items for the fun-to-cost ratio.
What a QR photo booth costs
A digital QR booth replaces the hardware with a printed card on each table. There is no attendant, no delivery, and no per-print charge, so the cost is a small fraction of a rental while the booth covers the whole room at once. Compare the two in our digital vs rental guide.
Getting the most for your money
Whichever you choose, placement and a nudge from the MC drive the photo count. If your priority is lots of great photos to keep rather than paper prints on the night, a QR booth gives you the best value - see our setup guide to run one.
