Booking & Availability
How do I book a photo booth for my event?
It’s easy! Just head over to our Contact Us page and fill out the booking form with your event details. We’ll confirm availability and send through the next steps.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking at least 6–8 weeks in advance, especially for weddings and peak seasons. However, if your event is coming up soon, reach out – we may still have availability!
Do you require a deposit?
Yes. A $200 non-refundable deposit is required to secure your booking. The remaining balance is due 7 days before the event.

Event Setup & Requirements
How much space is needed for the photo booth?
We need a minimum space of 2.5m x 2.5m, with a nearby power outlet and reasonable access to the venue.
How much time is required to set up the photo booth?
- We arrive 1 hour before your hire time to begin setting up.
- It usually takes 45–60 minutes to complete the setup and ensure everything is ready.
- If you require the booth to be set up much earlier than the hire time, an idle fee of $40 per hour will apply.
Do you provide setup and pack-down?
Absolutely. Our team arrives 1 hour before the event to set up and returns after the session to pack down – all included in your package.
Can the booth be set up outdoors?
Yes – but only if the area is under cover, protected from wind and rain, and has access to power.
What if my venue is upstairs and there is no lift access?
While our booth is portable, it can be heavy and difficult to carry up stairs. For safety reasons, if your venue is upstairs with no lift access, someone from the venue must be organised to assist our staff with getting the equipment up. Please ensure this is arranged and communicated at the time of booking.
Backdrops, Props & Customisation
Can I choose my own backdrop?
Yes! We offer a variety of 32 stylish backdrops. You can view them on our Photo Booth Backdrops page. Custom printed backdrops are also available upon request.
Do you offer themed props?
We sure do! From weddings and birthdays to corporate events, we can purchase themed props based on your event style. Prices may vary depending on the props you choose.
Can I customise the photo strips?
Yes – we offer personalised photo strip designs with names, dates, logos or custom artwork to match your theme.
Travel, Parking & Extra Charges
Do you charge for travel?
Travel within 35 km of Hoppers Crossing is included in all packages. For locations beyond that, travel fees may apply – please reach out for a personalised quote based on your event location.
What if my venue is in the CBD?
We may require car parking to be covered, especially for Melbourne CBD venues where free access is not guaranteed.
Other Questions
What if my event runs overtime?
No worries! Additional time can be added at $100/hour (rate may vary depending on the package). Let us know in advance if you’d like to extend.
How many people can fit in the booth?
Our open-air booths can comfortably fit 6–8 people at a time – perfect for group shots!
