How Much Does Photo Booth Hire Cost in Melbourne?

If you’ve started calling around for photo booth hire in Melbourne, you’ve probably noticed prices vary a lot — anywhere from $500 to over $1,000 for a few hours. Here’s what actually drives that number, so you can compare quotes properly.

What affects the price

• Booth style — open booths and inflatable booths are typically the most affordable; 360 video booths and mirror booths cost more due to the extra hardware.
• Hire duration — most companies price in 3, 4 and 5 hour blocks, with the per-hour rate dropping as you book longer.
• Travel distance — a booth heading well outside central Melbourne may attract a small travel fee.
• Inclusions — unlimited sessions, printed copies, a props table and an on-site attendant should all be standard, not add-ons.
• Backdrop upgrades — premium shimmer walls or custom branding can add to the base price.

Questions worth asking before you book

1. Are sessions unlimited, or capped per hour?
2. Is a props table included, or charged separately?
3. How many prints does each guest get, and are digital copies included?
4. Is there an attendant on-site the whole time?
5. What happens if the venue needs a later bump-in or bump-out?
