Attended vs Self-Serve: The Short Answer
When renting a photo booth, one of the first decisions is whether you want an on-site attendant or a self-serve setup. Both include full professional setup and teardown. Attended suits weddings and formal events; self-serve suits corporate and casual gatherings and starts at $699.
What Is an Attended Photo Booth?
An attended booth includes a professional from our team who stays on-site for the duration of your event. They assist guests, manage any technical issues, and ensure the booth runs smoothly from start to finish. An attendant is included in our Classic and Reserve packages.
What Is a Self-Serve Photo Booth?
Our self-serve experience includes full professional setup and teardown by our team, with no on-site attendant during the event. Guests operate the booth independently. The booth is intuitive and designed to run itself. Available starting at $699.

Our Recommendation
For weddings and formal events where guest experience is the priority, an attended booth ensures everything runs smoothly. For corporate events, brand activations, and casual gatherings, self-serve works perfectly. No attendant hovering, guests operate it themselves, and the experience feels modern and effortless.
