Our Frequently Asked Questions

Is a deposit required to reserve my date?
We require a  deposit to formally book your date. This guarantees that a booth will be available for the date and time of your event.

Are you a local company or national company?
Yes!We are locally owned and operated in Baton Rouge, but still part of a network of photobooth rentals available around the country. We will travel to Lafayette, Hammond, the Northshore, New Orleans, Gulfport, and any area in between. 

When is the final payment due?
We require final payment 10 days prior to the event. If full payment has not been received by the due date, additional charges may apply.

Do you charge extra for setup and teardown time?
Not usually. If you require additional time, we charge $100 per half hour for overtime. Furthermore, if you require the booth to be set up by 4pm but not running till 6pm, we charge a modest $25 per hour for idle time. So this example would cost an extra $50.

Are extra prints included with your rental rates?
Yes they are. Each photo booth session takes four pictures which are then printed seconds later for your guests to keep.  Instant reprints are available. All guests in the booth will get their own strip to keep. Our rental rates include unlimited sessions during your contracted time.

Can we choose color or B&W prints?
Yes. Your guests are free to choose from Color or B&W.

Does our rental include a photo booth attendant?
Yes. Usually two professional attendants will be present during the entire rental period to help your guests operate and enjoy their photo booth experience.

Can we have a special message displayed on our index prints?
Absolutely! Most of our clients choose to have their names and wedding date printed on the bottom of their prints. However, any unique message you choose can be displayed. Custom graphics or watermarks can be added for an additional fee.

How big are the photo booths?
Our Portable Booths fit in most venues! They all break down in eaisly portable pieces so they don't damage floors and can go places other booths can not.

Am I contractually bound NOT to have a Photobooth?
Depends. Some event locations do not allow photobooths because they were historically too large or bulky.  Our portable photo booth fits in locations never before allowed. Some photographers may have contractually bound you to use their service exclusively for all photography. Please ask us for more details.

Do you require a damage deposit?
No, unless you instruct to have the photo booth set up outdoors and not covered by an enclosure or tent of some sort. Then we would require a $500 damage deposit in addition to your rental charge.

Where do you suggest choosing an area for the photo booths?
We recommend that you try and position the photo booth as close to the action as possible. This has proven much better then in a different room away from the party where it is likely to be used less frequently by you and your guests.  Our fully trained attendants will locate the booth in the best possible location to optimize lighting and guest traffic.  We are always willing to visit your location with you to discuss the placement of your photo booth.

Questions You Should Ask the Other Photo Booth Companies

How many people can your photo booth hold?
Most photo booths only hold two or three guests. If more get in, you only see portions of their face. How many people can you fit on a stool? Don't you want your all your girlfriends together?

Are you a full time organization?
Most other compaines operate as weekend hobby or part-time gig out of their garage. Can you see their booth in action at their office? Do they even have an office? How long have they been in business? PartyBox was the first Baton Rouge Photo Booth and remains Louisiana's number one Photo Booth company. 

How many photo booths do you have?
We realize that even with new, quality equipment, things break. We have multiple photo booths so backups are available. We even have spare equipment so down time is kept to a minimum.

Do all the guests in the picture get copies of their photo?
Most photo booths print on a standard 4x6 paper then either cut in half or or left whole for the guests to fight over, that leaves many guests without a copy! All of our photo booths can give instant multiple copies for all the guests in the photo. Eight guests? Nine copies...one for the bride too!

Was your photo booth professionally made?
Ask to see their photo booth in person, in advance before booking.  Some photo booths are not made by professionals and are of poor quality.  Seeing is believeing. Would you buy a dress or rent a tux, accept just any flowers, book a venue without a walk-through. Don't pay a deposit without seeing it first.

How portable is your photo booth?
We're in Louisiana! Many events are at venues with hardwood floors, expensive marble, upstairs, or in plantation homes. Don't let heavy booths on steel rollers damage your floors or make you loose your deposit.

Does your photo booth have only one attendant?
One worker limits the operation of the photo booth. We bring two attendants to help make sure everything runs smmothly and all guests know how to enjoy their experience.
