FAQ

Yes! If you reserve the Open Air or Magic Mirror and would like to add the experience of a Digital Selfie Booth we are offering it as an add-on for a discounted price! The best of both worlds with the “classic” photo booth and prints PLUS all the fun digital filters, boomerang and GIF options. Contact for more information and pricing for your event.

We can setup outdoors, but there are a few things to consider with this type of setup. We will require a flat level surface free of any debris, rocks, tree roots, etc. with a power source nearby. An area that is covered is best, not just for rain or bad weather, the sun can be our worst enemy – especially a setting sun that moves across our booth. Please keep this in mind when deciding placement of the photo booth so that we can provide the best photos to you and your guests!

No! We bring everything we need, including tables. We just need a 10′ x 10′ space with access to power nearby.

You will receive an email from us with links and details to make these fun choices! We can customize your print design in so many ways – matching themes and colors of your event, adding corporate logos, school mascots, etc. Our collection of backdrops will compliment your printed design. If you are looking for a custom printed backdrop we can do that as well!

For our Open Air and the Magic Mirror booths* we will print out one copy for each person in the photo. So if there are 10 people in the photo – we print out 10 copies. If you have purchased the Memory Album add-on we will also print an additional copy for your book. (*Digital Selfie Station does not print)

We request a $200.00 retainer with the signed contract to reserve a photo booth for your event. Remaining balance is due two weeks prior to your event. You can view our pricing for all packages through our Check Availability page and even save a quote! No commitment required to view and create your photo booth package. Once you are ready to reserve your package you can complete the booking online or contact us and we can complete it for you.

Yes, we do suggest when having large events such as corporate conferences, high school proms, and college events to think about the amount of guests and being able to make sure they have the option to enjoy the photo booth. With multiple booths we can duplicate our setup using the same photo strip print and guests will spend less time waiting in line to take photos.

Yes! We arrive approximately one hour prior to your contracted start time to unload, setup and run test shots. For example, if you reserve a 4-hour photo booth package from 6:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. your attendant will arrive at 5:00 p.m. to be ready to open at 6:00 p.m. Closing and breakdown of the photo booth would be at 10:00 p.m.

Idle time is a discounted hour of time where your photo booth is fully setup and in place, but not currently open to guests for use. This is useful in a couple situations:

(1) You can add an hour of idle time PRIOR to the start of your photo booth where you would like everything setup prior to guest arrival, but you don’t need to the booth to open until later. For example: your event is 5:00 – 10:00 and you would like the booth open 6:00 – 10:00, but don’t want us to set up while guests are already arriving. With idle time we would arrive at 4:00. Setup and be in place by 5:00. Then open to guests for your 6:00 – 10:00 booth time.

(2) Idle time is also ideal for weddings! You can use an idle hour for your second hour of the event. For example: your wedding is 6:00 – 11:00. You book the 3 hour photo booth package plus one hour idle. We arrive at 5:00 to setup. Open at 6:00. Then CLOSE from 7:00 – 8:00 which is when you are likely to be doing introductions, dances, etc. We then REOPEN 8:00 – 10:00.

We will need a 10′ x 10′ dedicated space against a wall. Our backdrops are approximately 8′ tall. A corner is preferred! We will need one outlet nearby (within approximately 15 feet). Also, keep in mind space around the photo booth for guests that are waiting and traffic flow.

Only the Digital Selfie Booth will require a Wi-Fi connection, and if none is available at the venue we will use a hotspot of our own. If there is no Wi-Fi available and poor cell service for our hotspot, then all photos will be queued and will be sent as soon as we get the booth connected to the internet when we get home. The Open Air and Magic Mirror photo booths do not require Wi-Fi (unless you have requested special services added to your package).

Yes! With our Open Air and Magic Mirror photo booths your first prints will be out within15-20 seconds. We print a copy for each person in the photo. By the time your guests put their props away and exit the booth their prints are waiting for them!

Yes! Your Be The Star attendant will setup the photo booth and stay the entire duration of your event. They will interact with your guests so that everyone knows how the booth works, will encourage them to have fun and show them where to look at the camera, etc. Our attendants are trained in all aspects of running and maintaining the photo booth, including the computer, camera, software and printer.

Leave it all to us! When you add the Be The Star Memory Album we provide everything needed: adhesive, markers, paper and the 12×12 album. All scrapbooking safe materials. We include an extra print of every photo session taken. Your attendant will adhere the print to a page for the album and ask guests to sign next to their photo(s). At the end of your event, we put the album together and leave it for you to take home!

As many times as they like! Your photo booth will be open during your entire contracted time. If you reserve a 4 hour package you and your guests can take pictures as many times as you can during the 4 hours. There is no limit!

We require a 10′ x 10′ space. In a corner is best! Also, the photo booth should NOT be placed directly next to the DJ or band or in front of speakers. Our photo booth attendants love to interact and talk with your guests to get the best photos ! If guests can’t hear us it can affect this great experience. If there is a foyer or entryway that would fit the photo booth outside of your main event room, that works just as well! Everyone always finds the fun of the photo booth!

We have specially curated prop collections that will be perfect for your event. With our Open Air and Magic Mirror booths we bring fun glasses, hats, mustaches and more. Be The Star Photo Booth prop signs are definitely a favorite! Our signs are made from durable materials and are camera ready! These are not the cheap paper signs on a stick that will fall apart after 10 minutes! Our signs are double sided and guests have so much fun looking to choose the perfect ones! So many options that guests can use different props every time they come back to the booth. We always have age appropriate and event appropriate signs. For example, we have specific signs for school events and children’s parties. We have special signs that are wedding specific or Sweet 16 themed.

For our Digital Selfie Booth we add multiple digital props to your event! Cool sunglasses, funky mustaches or even a unicorn horn can be “magically” worn by your guests. We also have season digital props such as Santa hats and reindeer antlers, or Happy New Year glasses!

Yes! All of the individual photos, as well as the printed photo strip with graphics, will be uploaded to an online gallery on our website. You and all your guests can view/share/download the photos for FREE! There are options to purchase the entire gallery as a download, as well as the ability to order prints of various sizes.
