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 all four, at every tier. No package charges extra for the attendant. No package limits how many sessions your guests can do. What changes between tiers is the length of time we are there, whether you get printed photos, and whether the template design is standard, personalized, or fully custom.

How to Choose the Right Package
Start with your event type. If it is a birthday party, smaller gathering, or you are on a tight budget, Social gets everything you need. If it is a wedding or larger celebration and you want printed photos plus templates matched to your colors and theme, Classic is the sweet spot. Planning a wedding? See our wedding photo booth rental page for reception-specific guidance. Reserve is designed for corporate events where branding and bespoke options matter more than they do at a family party. Planning a corporate event or brand activation? 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. Digital only works with Social. Physical prints for guests to take home come with Classic or Reserve.
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.
