What Our Clients Say
“I booked the drop-off option for my daughter's backyard birthday party and it was perfect for what we needed. Easy to use, prints came out beautiful, and the digital gallery was delivered the next morning.”
“We used it for our office holiday party. Setup was done before we arrived, guests figured it out immediately, and everyone loved having branded prints as a keepsake. Super easy and affordable.”
“The tech support line gave me peace of mind even though we never needed to call it. The booth ran perfectly all night. I was shocked at how professional the prints looked for the price.”
“I was nervous about a self-serve booth but it could not have been easier. My 70-year-old aunt figured it out in two seconds. Every guest got a beautiful print and the gallery the next day was so fun to look through.”
“Perfect for our small graduation party. The custom template with my son's name and graduation year made every print feel so special. The price was very reasonable and everything worked flawlessly.”
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Drop-Off Booth truly self-serve?
Yes—our booth is designed with a simple, intuitive touchscreen that guests of all ages can use without assistance. We set up the booth before your event, test everything, and leave detailed instruction cards. Our tech support line is available throughout your rental if any questions come up.
What is the rental window?
The $500 price includes a 6-hour rental window from delivery to pickup. This typically means we deliver 30–60 minutes before your event, and pick up within 30–60 minutes after it ends. Additional hours are available at $75/hr.
Do guests still get printed photos?
Yes—the Drop-Off Rental includes a built-in printer. Each guest group gets one 2x6" print strip per session. Prints are the same quality as our staffed booth packages.
What if something goes wrong with the booth during my event?
We provide a direct tech support phone line during your entire rental window. Most issues are simple to resolve remotely (paper jam, connectivity), and we'll walk you through it. We fully test the booth before leaving.
Can I add more hours to my rental?
Yes—additional hours beyond the 6-hour window are available at $75/hr. Just let us know at booking or call us during your event if you need an extension.
Is the Drop-Off Rental available on weekends?
Yes—weekends are our most popular days. We recommend booking at least 3–4 weeks in advance for weekend events. Call (747) 895-4473 or book online to check availability.
What if I want a staffed booth instead?
Our staffed Open Air Booth starts at $475 and includes a professional bilingual attendant who manages the booth all night. For events with 100+ guests or where you want a more polished experience, staffed is the better choice.
Can the drop-off booth work outdoors?
Yes—the booth works outdoors as long as there is a covered area (tent, patio, gazebo) to protect the equipment from direct sun, wind, and moisture. We also need access to a standard power outlet within 25 feet of the booth location.
How many guests can use the drop-off booth in 6 hours?
In a typical 6-hour window, the booth can handle 150–200 sessions easily. Each session takes about 60–90 seconds. For events with 50–75 guests, every guest can go through multiple times without any wait.
