What moves the number
What changes photo booth rental cost?
What changes photo booth rental cost is the format of the booth, the hours it runs, the prints, the props and the backdrop, whether a host stays with it, how guests get their copies, and the drive to your venue. Here is what each one changes, and how we handle it.
- The formatWhat it changes: Which booth you pick: a digital mirror, a touch mirror that prints, one with layouts and games, or a 360 that shoots video.How Elevate handles it: Four photo booths and a Glam upgrade: the Mini Mirror, the Selfie Mirror, the Luxe Mirror and the ShowStopper 360, with the Glam on top of another booth.
- The hoursWhat it changes: How long the booth runs, and whether extra hours cost extra.How Elevate handles it: The booth is set up before your guests arrive, and the hours you choose are set in your quote.
- The printsWhat it changes: Whether guests get prints, how many, and whether a designed print or an album costs extra.How Elevate handles it: Unlimited prints and a digital copy on every booth that prints, a print our in-house graphic designer builds around your colors, and a scrapbook that goes home with you. The Mini Mirror is digital only, and the ShowStopper 360 makes slow-motion video.
- The props and the backdropWhat it changes: Whether props and a backdrop come with the booth or cost extra.How Elevate handles it: The Selfie Mirror and the Luxe Mirror come with a prop box and a backdrop for your guests to stand in front of.
- The attendantWhat it changes: Whether someone stays with the booth for the hours you book, or it is dropped off and left self-serve.How Elevate handles it: A host comes with every booth except the Mini Mirror, which is self-serve. The host sets up and runs the booth for the hours you book, and on every booth that prints, hands out the prints and builds the scrapbook.
- How guests get their copiesWhat it changes: Whether guests can send themselves a copy, and whether you get every photo afterward.How Elevate handles it: Guests text or email themselves a copy on the spot, and you get the full gallery afterward.
- The drive to your venueWhat it changes: A venue far from the company adds travel for the team.How Elevate handles it: We serve a 3-hour drive around each of our offices in Kansas City and Springfield, and further by request. Travel to your venue is built into your quote and priced by distance; a venue more than about four hours away gets its own travel price.

Mini Mirror
The smallest one: all digital and self-serve, with no prints and no host. It tucks into a corner.
Haseltine Estate, 2020 · photo Jessica Yahn Photography
Selfie Mirror
A touch mirror with a host, a backdrop, a prop box and unlimited prints. One layout, so the line keeps moving.
Industrial Grove, 2022 · photo Asantae Photography
Luxe Mirror
Everything the Selfie Mirror does, plus layouts, a magazine cover and on-screen games.
Integrity Hills, 2025 · photo Jefferson May Photography
Glam booth
An upgrade on top of another booth, not a booth of its own: black and white, skin softened, one full frame instead of a strip.
ShowStopper 360
A camera on an arm sweeps around guests on a platform and shoots slow-motion video. It needs a clear ten by ten of floor.

Photo booth or 360
Does a 360 booth cost more than a photo booth?
Yes, a 360 booth costs more than any of our mirror photo booths, because it does more: a camera on an arm sweeps around guests on a platform and shoots slow-motion video, and the ShowStopper 360 needs a clear ten by ten of floor, while the Selfie Mirror and the Luxe Mirror print and need a good deal less. Your exact number comes from your quote, and the industry ranges above list the 360 on lines of their own.
How we build it
Why does Elevate Entertainment quote a photo booth instead of listing a price?
Elevate Entertainment quotes a photo booth instead of listing a price because every Elevate night is custom-tailored from scratch: no two couples, no two weddings and no two sets of preferences are the same. Your booth is priced with the rest of your night, or on its own, from the format, the hours and what you choose, piece by piece in your Entertainment Design Session, so you get exactly the experience you want.
The exact number
How do you get an exact photo booth price?

★★★★★“Elevate Entertainment provided the photo booth for our wedding on July 5 at Greenhouse Two Rivers. It was an absolute hit with all of our guests & there was a line to get in all night long!…”
★★★★★“We include the Selfie Mirror as part of our wedding reception and it was one of the most talked about details of our wedding day. The Selfie Mirror was our modern way of doing the outdated tradition of a guestbook. Instead of having people just sign a guestbook, we were able to get a fun photo of them with a sincere or loving message from each person that attended our wedding.…”
★★★★★“…We also booked the selfie mirror with elevate and it was so fun! Our guests loved it, and we got the cutest keepsake!…”
★★★★★“…We also enjoyed their Selfie Mirror. Our guests had a blast taking silly photos all night! They even provided a photo album to put copies of all the pictures in for my guests to sign. It was pretty cool!”
★★★★★“We booked Kassie as our DJ/host and Alaina was the attendant for our photobooth for our wedding reception, they were both fantastic! I highly recommend using Elevate for any party, they made the process easy and Kassie even took the time to help me make a schedule for the night and checked in with me to make sure I was able to enjoy the entire night!”
★★★★★“…I received several comments from family and friends about how wonderful Broc is as the DJ and that the selfie mirror hosted by Emily was a hit!…”
