What’s Included in a Melbourne Photo Booth Hire Package
If you’ve asked a few Melbourne photo booth companies for quotes, you’ve probably noticed the packages don’t all look the same. Some are simple hourly hires. Others bundle in props, backdrops and a printed guest book. Here’s what’s typically included, and what to check before you book.
What’s usually included as standard
Most reputable photo booth hire packages in Melbourne include the essentials as standard, so you’re not hit with surprise add-ons on the day:
- Unlimited photo sessions for the duration of your hire
- Instant printed copies for guests to take home
- A props table styled to suit your event
- An on-site attendant to help guests and keep the booth running smoothly
- Delivery, setup and pack-down at your venue
If a quote is missing any of these, it’s worth asking whether they’re available as a paid extra, since it changes how the price compares to a package that already includes them.
What varies between packages
Once you’re past the basics, this is where packages start to differ:
- Booth style — open booths and inflatable booths are typically the most budget-friendly, while 360 video booths and mirror booths sit at the premium end because of the extra hardware involved.
- Hire duration — most companies price in 3, 4 and 5-hour blocks, and the per-hour rate usually drops the longer you book.
- Backdrops — a plain backdrop is often included, while custom or premium backdrops (sequin, floral, branded) can be an upgrade.
- Digital extras — an online gallery, GIFs, boomerangs or a branded overlay for corporate events aren’t always standard.
- Guest book — a printed guest book where guests stick a copy of their photo is a popular add-on for weddings, but not every package includes one.
Questions worth asking before you book
- Is travel to my venue included, or is there a distance fee?
- Are prints truly unlimited, or capped per guest?
- Is the attendant included for the full booking, or only setup and pack-down?
- What happens if the event runs over time?
Getting clear answers to these upfront makes it much easier to compare quotes properly, rather than just looking at the headline price. For a full breakdown of what drives photo booth hire pricing in Melbourne, see our photo booth hire cost guide.
