Glam Photo Booth Rental New Jersey: Is It Worth It?

If you are pricing a glam photo booth rental in New Jersey, you have probably noticed it costs more than a regular print booth. So is it worth it? The honest answer depends on your event. Below we put the Glam Booth and the Printer Booth side by side, so you can see exactly what the extra money buys.

Glam Booth vs Printer Booth at a glance

Both booths include unlimited prints, a personalized picture design and props. Both offer the same add-ons. The difference is the look.

• Printer Booth: bright, full color photos. Fun, casual, props front and center.
• Glam Booth: soft beauty lighting and a classic black and white finish. Every guest looks like a magazine portrait.

Here is how the prices compare before tax:

• 2 hours: Glam $379, Printer $298 (a $81 difference)
• 3 hours: Glam $439, Printer $348 (a $91 difference)
• 4 hours: Glam $479, Printer $398 (a $81 difference)
• 5 hours: Glam $519, Printer $448 (a $71 difference)
• 6 hours: Glam $559, Printer $498 (a $61 difference)

The gap shrinks as the rental gets longer. At 6 hours, the Glam Booth is only $61 more.

When the Glam Booth is the better pick

The Glam Booth makes the most sense when you want the photos to feel elegant, not goofy. That usually means:

• Weddings, especially formal receptions where guests dress up.
• Galas and fundraisers, where a black and white portrait suits the dress code.
• Milestone birthdays, like a 40th or 50th, where guests want a photo they will actually frame.
• Brand events, where a polished look matters more than silly props.

A grand ballroom wedding at The Palace at Somerset Park in Somerset is a good example. Soft light and black and white portraits match the scale of a big Jersey wedding. A hotel reception at The Heldrich Hotel in New Brunswick fits the Glam Booth well too, as does a formal party in Princeton, Morristown or Bridgewater.

The Printer Booth is often the better choice for a backyard graduation party, a reunion or a quinceañera where the props and bright colors are half the fun. If that sounds like your party, look at the Printer Booth instead and keep the difference.

Getting the most out of black and white

A few choices make glam portraits look their best:

• Pick a backdrop with texture. A shimmery backdrop ($100) catches the light, and a flower wall ($530) adds depth even in black and white. A grass wall is $500.
• Add the lighting kit in darker rooms. The extra lighting kit is $145 and gives brighter, cleaner photos.
• Go bigger on prints. The 4x6 upgrade is $200 and suits portraits better than strips.
• Turn prints into a guest book. The scrapbook ($240) lets guests paste a print and sign a note.
• Make the design yours. A fully custom picture with your names, date and colors is $150.

Black and white is the signature look. If you want color too, just ask.
