FAQ

PHOTO BOOTH

• What space and power does the photo booth require?

  A standard photo booth setup requires approximately 3m x 2m of space, ideally positioned against a wall or in a corner. We require access to a standard power outlet and a flat, level surface. For outdoor setups, full overhead cover is required to protect the equipment and ensure it runs reliably throughout your event.

• Can the photo booth be set up outdoors?

  Outdoor photo booth setups are available, provided there is full overhead shelter and reliable access to power. We will confirm the suitability of your outdoor location in advance and advise on the best setup arrangement.

• What types of events suit a photo booth?

  Photo booths are a fantastic addition to almost any event and work especially well at weddings, birthday parties, engagements, corporate functions, school formals and end-of-year celebrations. They add a fun, interactive element and give guests a memorable keepsake to take home.

• Are there any additional costs I should be aware of?

  Pricing is based on your specific event requirements. Additional costs may apply for extended hire time (overtime), and travel fees may apply for locations outside the Melbourne metro area. We always outline all costs upfront before confirming your booking, so there are no surprises on the day.

• How does the photo booth setup process work?

  Our team handles the entire setup process from start to finish. We arrive before your event begins, fully set up and test the booth, prepare all props and print layouts, and ensure everything is guest-ready before the event kicks off. Pack-down at the end of the night is also handled entirely by our staff.

• What if there's a technical issue during the event?

  Our photo booths are professionally maintained and thoroughly tested before every event. In the rare case of a technical issue, our on-site attendant will troubleshoot immediately, with backup procedures in place where needed. Our priority is always to minimise disruption and keep the experience smooth for you and your guests.

• Are digital copies of the photos included?

  All photo booth bookings with Melbourne DJ Hire include digital copies of every photo taken during the event. These are provided via a secure online gallery, making it easy to download, share with guests and keep a complete digital record of your event.

• What customisation options are available for prints?

  We offer a range of print customisation options to make the experience feel personal to your event. These include personalised photo templates, event names and dates, logos or branding, colour themes and custom print layouts. Customisation is available across all booking types.

• Is an attendant included with the hire?

  Every photo booth booking includes a professional, friendly on-site attendant. They will assist guests with the booth, manage the props and guest book, and make sure everything runs smoothly throughout the event.

• When is the best time to run the photo booth during the night?

  For most events, we recommend running the photo booth during the earlier part of the evening, when guest energy and interaction are at their peak. This maximises participation, creates more photo opportunities and allows the night to transition naturally into dancing and entertainment as the evening progresses. As a general rule, it is best to leave the final hour of the night for the dancefloor.
