Top 5 Tips for Booking a Photo Booth (Without the Guesswork)

Whether you’re planning a wedding, a 21st, a work do or a big event, booking a photo booth is one of those things that seems simple… until you realise just how many options are out there. Don’t stress, we’ve got your back.

Here are 5 must-know tips from Moment Booth NZ to help you book the right booth, with none of the confusion.

📅 1. Book Early (Like, Now)

Photo booths are in high demand, especially for weddings, birthdays, and Christmas parties. We often get booked out months in advance, especially for popular Saturdays. If you’ve been thinking about hiring a booth for your big night, don’t wait too long!

Whether it’s photo booth hire, a wedding photo booth NZ-wide, or a last-minute 21st birthday booth, early bookings mean better availability and more customisation options.

🖼 2. Make Sure You Can Customise the Prints

No one wants generic prints that say nothing about the event. Your booth should come with custom-designed photo strips or postcard layouts to match your theme. At Moment Booth NZ, we’ll work with your colours, fonts, logos, even your inside jokes if you want.

For things like corporate activations, wedding booth hire, or a slick 21st photo booth, it’s the personalisation that makes the prints feel extra special.

🔌 3. Double-Check the Setup Requirements

Different booths have different needs, some just need power, others (like a 360 video booth) might need a bit more space to spin. If you’re booking a venue, check where the booth will go, and always ask if an attendant will be there to run it.

(For us, the answer is always yes, our team manages everything, so you don’t have to.)

💡 4. Location, Location, Location

Don’t tuck the booth away in the corner where no one will find it. Put it near the action, maybe close to the bar, by the entrance, or somewhere guests naturally gather. The best booths are part of the vibe, not hidden away.

The more visible it is, the more people use it, and the better your event looks on the gram.

✅ 5. Choose the Right Booth for Your Vibe

There’s no one-size-fits-all booth. Think about what suits your event best:

• Want that old-school charm with instant prints on the night? Go with a print photo booth

• Want slow-motion magic that your guests can post straight to Instagram or TikTok? Book a 360 video booth

• Want sleek and modern digital sharing without physical prints? We've got booths for that too

  
  

If you’re after a photo booth rental near you, photo booth with instant prints, or something to really elevate your wedding or event entertainment, we’ll help you choose the perfect match.

🎉 Bonus Tip: Go for Quality

There’s a big difference between an iPad in a box and a full DSLR-powered photo booth with pro lighting. Don’t settle for less. With Moment Booth NZ, you’ll get high-quality prints, custom designs, friendly staff, and a stress-free setup.
