These services can vary greatly. All photo booths will provide the following benefits for your guests:

• Keepsakes they can take home

That being said, not all photo booths are created equal so you must take the time to think about what your needs are. Do you plan on using the booth to entertain the children while the adults dance and mingle? If this is the case, be sure to ask you photo booth company the following questions.

1. "Do you allow children under 12 admittance without and adult? Some companies have a strict no unattended children policy that you may have to take into account. If this is the case, you may consider hiring a teen or designated person to watch over the children so that you can enjoy your day.
2. "How many sessions can the children have in the booth?" Some companies may limit the amount of times the same children can go through.

Is your photo booth intended to document and record your memories of your once-in-a-lifetime event? If this is the case, we would suggest not using price as your determining factor. Lower price often means lower service, less stable equipment or presentation and less insurance held by your potential company.

These expenses may be added insurance, workers compensation insurance to hire good quality attendants, back-up equipment which may save the day in case of a technological failure and the lasted and high quality equipment to capture your special day. If you are hiring a photo booth company for more than entertainment for children, a higher cost may translate into better memories for you in the long run.
