Why your open booth and not a traditional enclosed booth?

Our open photo booth has a minimal foot print with just the photo booth unit and a backdrop. This allows everyone to see, enjoy, and join in with the fun photos being taken. Many of our guests have requested this style of booth over an enclosed booth. Why cram yourself into a small booth meant for two to a few people when you can stand in front of ours like the star you were meant to be. If you want to have an enclosed booth, that's great, we offer a booth enclosed with luxurious curtains. Please contact us for availability. *Extra fees may apply
