How to Choose the Right Photo Booth for Your Event

Open, mirror, 360 and inflatable booths all do the same basic job — they take fun photos of your guests — but they suit different venues, budgets and event styles. Here’s how to work out which one fits your event.

Open booth: the versatile, budget-friendly option

An open booth has no enclosure, so bigger groups can fit in shot and guests can see the fun happening from across the room, which tends to draw more people over. It’s usually the most affordable option and works well for weddings, birthdays and corporate events where you want a steady stream of guests using it rather than a queue building up.

Mirror booth: interactive and premium-feeling

A mirror booth uses a full-length touch-screen mirror with animations and a guided, interactive experience. It photographs well as a feature in the room and suits weddings and corporate events that want something that feels a step above a standard booth setup.

360 booth: built for video and social sharing

A 360 booth captures slow-motion, spinning video rather than still photos, and the output is designed to be shared straight to Instagram and TikTok. It’s the most eye-catching option for guests watching on, but it needs more floor space than the other booth styles, so check it suits your venue first.

Inflatable booth: best for outdoor and marquee events

An inflatable booth is self-contained and easy to set up on grass, making it a practical choice for garden weddings, wineries and marquee events where a traditional booth structure is harder to fit or power.

Questions to work through

• What’s the venue like — indoors, marquee, or outdoors on grass?
• How many guests do you expect to use the booth?
• Do you want printed photos, video content, or both?
• Is the booth meant to be a feature people notice, or a fun extra tucked to the side?
• What’s the budget, and does that rule any styles out?
