Digital Photo Booth Rental Houston: Prices and What You Get

Here are the numbers first, because that is usually the first question. A digital photo booth rental in Houston with EMCO Booth starts at $228 for 2 hours. That price includes unlimited pictures, a personalized photo design and props. Guests take photos, GIFs and boomerangs, then get them on their phones in seconds by text or QR code.

Everything below is the real catalog price. No quote form, no waiting for a callback.

Digital photo booth rental Houston prices, hour by hour

Pick the number of hours that covers the busiest part of your party.

• 2 hours: $228
• 3 hours: $278
• 4 hours: $348
• 5 hours: $418
• 6 hours: $488

These prices are before tax. Events in the Houston area are charged 8.25% sales tax, so a 3-hour rental at $278 comes to $300.94 with tax. A 35% deposit locks in your date, and the balance is due 7 days before the event if we deliver, or when you pick up. Card payments include a 5% processing fee.

Why it costs less than our other booths

The Digital Booth does not bring a printer, paper or a special camera rig. Photos go to phones instead of a print tray, so there is less equipment to haul and set up. That is the whole reason it is our lowest-priced booth.

Here is how it works for a guest:

1. Step up to the booth and pick a photo, GIF or boomerang.
2. Pose with the props while the countdown runs.
3. Type in a phone number or scan the QR code.
4. The photo lands on their phone with your personalized design on it.

Because every shot goes straight to a phone, guests can post them while the party is still going. That makes it a good fit for hosts who care more about sharing than paper keepsakes.

Houston parties that fit a Digital Booth

The Digital Booth is our most flexible option, so it works for a wide mix of events across Greater Houston.

• Graduation parties. Backyard open houses in Katy, Cypress and Pearland are easy to set up for, and grads get their photos right away.
• Birthdays and sweet 16s. Teens in Sugar Land, Spring or League City usually want GIFs and boomerangs they can post, not paper.
• Office and holiday parties. Company events in The Woodlands or downtown can use the personalized design to put the company name on every photo.
• Weddings on a budget. If you want a booth at the reception without paying for prints, this is the place to start.

It also fits more formal rooms. At a reception at The Corinthian Houston downtown, or a company party at Hotel ZaZa Houston Museum District, the Digital Booth gives guests something to do between dinner and dancing. For a gala at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, you can pair it with a backdrop that matches the setting.

Add-ons that change the total

All of these are optional. Most hosts pick one or two.

• Unlimited printing: $240, for guests who want a print too
• Customized picture: $150, fully custom with your names, date and colors
• Shimmery sequin backdrop: $100
• Red carpet VIP with stanchions: $200
• Digital gallery with every photo in one online album: $120
• LED inflatable to frame the booth: $240
• Extra lighting kit: $145
• Flower wall: $530, or grass wall: $500
• Attendant: $50 an hour to run the booth and help guests

Getting the booth to your event is simple. Pickup from our location is free, and you return it the day after your event. If you would rather not haul it, we deliver and set it up for $75. That can be worth it for a party in Humble or Friendswood when you already have enough on your plate.

Here is one example. A 4-hour graduation party with the Digital Booth ($348), the shimmery backdrop ($100) and delivery ($75) comes to $523 before tax.

Questions people ask

What do I get for $228?

Two hours with the Digital Booth, unlimited pictures, GIFs and boomerangs, a personalized photo design and props. Tax, delivery and add-ons are extra.

Can guests at my Houston party get prints from the Digital Booth?

Yes. Add unlimited printing for $240 and guests get prints on the spot as well as the copy on their phone.

Do I need an attendant for a backyard party?

No. The attendant is optional at $50 an hour. Guests can run the booth themselves, but an attendant helps keep the line moving at bigger parties.

How long can I keep the booth if I pick it up?

You pick it up before your event and bring it back the day after, so you are not rushing to return it the same night.
