Photobooth?

Does anyone know approximately how much a photo booth costs? FH is dying to have one but I don’t know if we have the $$ in the budget for it.

Thanks!

I booked this with Partybooths.com
For $1500 we got:
a booth for 6 hours, plus they take half hr to set up... which is in addition to the 6 hours. it also includes a CD rom of all the pics, on the back of each print out there's a web site and a password so guests can look up the pics online. Also, guests can take unlimited pics. I also did the guestbook option. And they put whatever wording on the pics that you want. I think each sheet is 6 pics. You could have it for 3 hours and not have the guest book (which I think was $350) and it would be substancially less. I'm assuming around the 900 range??

I also checked with other companies... NYC Photobooth was about the same price but they didn't have as many 'extras' that I mentioned. Coney Island Photobooth wanted DOUBLE that price for not as much. And as far as DJ's, Body Rock and FM Entertainment both offered the booth for $1500. FM took off $300 if you booked them as your DJ (which I did). I didn't go with FM's booth because you just didn't get as many of those 'extras' that I mentioned. Same was true for Body Rock (just as far as not getting the 'extras' IDK about taking money off if you booked them as your DJ).

You are very welcome! I also checked with BBB and I read whatever reviews I could find on them. There were no complaints from BBB. And the most of what I found that was negative was... one girl said the guy wore a tye dye shirt.... everyone else said they were dressed professionally. Just to be absolutely safe I will make sure they are professionally dressed. The other thing was someone said the CD was missing some pics, but they were on the website... so it wasn't so bad.
I like to research the companies I book... esp the ones I find online.

I think 'm going with Partybooths also!! It's a MUCH better deal than NYCphotobooth, after doing some research! I'm glad to hear the BBB doesn't have any negative things to say, I didn't even think of looking there! Thanks!
