What's Usually Included in a Photo Booth Rental?
Photo booth rental packages typically include four core pieces: the booth itself, an attendant to run it, digital photos of every session, and template design for the strips or digital shares. What varies between companies and packages is which of those are included versus charged as add ons.
Afterlight's packages include the booth, unlimited sessions, a custom photo template, and a digital gallery at every tier. Both Social packages are self-serve. An attendant is included on Classic and Reserve, and on corporate Classic and Brand Activation. Classic includes your choice of prints or video, and the other is $200. Printed photos are $400 on Social. AI retouching is a $100 add-on.

How to Choose the Right Package
Start with your event type. For a birthday, smaller gathering, or a tighter budget, personal Social covers it. For a wedding or larger celebration with prints and templates matched to your colors, Classic is the sweet spot. Planning a wedding? See our wedding photo booth rental page. For a brand event, use the Corporate tab: Brand Activation is built for sponsors and launches. See our corporate photo booth rental page.
Next, think about length. Three hours is enough for a focused window at a party. Four hours is standard for wedding receptions. Any package can add hours for a fee if you need more time.
The last consideration is what you want to walk away with. Social is digital, and printed photos are a $400 add-on. Classic includes your choice of prints or video, and adding the other is $200. Reserve and Brand Activation include both.
What's Not Included?
A few things to know before you book.
Extended setup windows. Our standard setup gets us fully ready before your booking start time. If your venue requires an unusually early load in, let us know when booking so we can plan for it.
Additional hours. Each package includes its set number of hours. If you want the booth longer, additional hours are available for a fee. Just ask when you book.
Custom requests. Special design work or bespoke additions beyond the package are handled case by case. Tell us what you have in mind and we will quote it.
