Photo Booth Rental with Prints Columbus, Ohio: A Checklist
Booking a photo booth rental with prints in Columbus, Ohio comes down to seven small choices. Make them in order and you will know your total, your timing and what each guest carries home before you ever pay a deposit. Here is the list, then a closer look at each step.
The quick checklist
- Pick your hours (2 to 6).
- Choose strips or 4x6 prints.
- Decide on a scrapbook.
- Pick a backdrop.
- Choose pickup or delivery.
- Decide if you want an attendant.
- Lock the date with a 35% deposit.
Step 1: Hours and price
The Printer Booth includes unlimited prints, a personalized design on every print with your names, date and colors, and props. Prices before tax:
- 2 hours: $298
- 3 hours: $348
- 4 hours: $398
- 5 hours: $448
- 6 hours: $498
For a wedding reception, 3 or 4 hours usually covers cocktail hour through the end of dancing. For a reunion or an anniversary dinner, 2 or 3 hours is often plenty, since most guests visit the booth early and then settle in.
Steps 2 to 4: Prints, scrapbook and backdrop
Strips or 4x6. Strips come standard. They fit in a wallet, on a fridge or in a guestbook. The 4x6 upgrade is $200 and gives a bigger photo that drops into a standard frame.
Scrapbook. For $240, guests paste a print into a book and write a note next to it. At a wedding this often replaces the regular guestbook, and you go home with one book full of faces and messages instead of a page of signatures.
Backdrop. The shimmery sequin backdrop is $100 and sparkles on camera. The flower wall is $530 and the grass wall is $500. The LED inflatable frame is $240 and stands out in a dim banquet room.
Quinceañeras are a good example of all three working together. A 4-hour Printer Booth ($398), 4x6 prints ($200), a scrapbook ($240) and the shimmery backdrop ($100) comes to $938 before tax, and the family keeps a full book from the night.
Steps 5 to 7: Getting it there and locking the date
Pickup or delivery. Pickup from our location is free, and you return it the day after your event. Delivery and setup is $75. For a reception in Dublin or a hall out in Lancaster, delivery means one less errand on a busy day.
Attendant. An attendant is $50 an hour. They keep the printer stocked, help guests with the scrapbook and keep the line moving. For a 4-hour wedding that adds $200.
Deposit and tax. A 35% deposit locks your date. The balance is due 7 days before the event if we deliver, or at pickup if you collect it. Columbus metro events are taxed at 8%, and card payments add a 5% fee.
Putting it together: a 4-hour wedding with the Printer Booth ($398), scrapbook ($240), attendant ($200) and delivery ($75) is $913 before tax. The 35% deposit on that is $319.55.
Where a photo booth rental with prints fits in Columbus, Ohio
Prints make the most sense at events where guests want something in their hand on the way out:
- Weddings in Dublin, Powell and New Albany, where the scrapbook doubles as the guestbook.
- Reunions and anniversaries in Worthington, Upper Arlington and Grandview Heights, where some guests would rather hold a print than open a text.
- Quinceañeras and family parties in Reynoldsburg, Grove City and Hilliard, where big families line up for group shots.
For venues, The Exchange at Bridge Park in Dublin is a good fit for a modern wedding with the Printer Booth set up near the dance floor. Franklin Park Conservatory works well for showers and smaller receptions, where a flower wall behind the booth matches the gardens. See the Columbus photo booth rental page for the rest of Central Ohio, including Westerville, Gahanna and Delaware.
