Photobooths Hunter Valley

A photo booth gives guests something to do between dinner and the dance floor, and the prints make a ready-made guest book. Booth companies drive out to Hunter Valley weddings, birthdays, formals and work parties, and the real differences come down to booth style, hours on site and how far they travel without charging.

Open-air booths with a backdrop and props suit big groups crowding into one frame. SteelCityBooths keeps it simple with one package: three hours, an attendant, unlimited prints, props, a backdrop and an online gallery, from $650. OMG Booths offers 25 backdrops in open or closed set-ups, adds GIFs and boomerangs, and charges no travel across the Hunter Valley, from $550. Creative Booth has a self-run Party Booth, an attended Open Booth and a 360 video booth, and every package covers the event for up to five hours, from $499.

For the widest choice under one booking, Photobooths Newcastle runs an open DSLR booth, a curtained kissing booth, a mirror booth and 360 video booths, prints two copies of every photo so one goes in the guest book, and can add slushy and popcorn machines or a lolly cart, from $439. For something more interactive, Hunter Valley Mirror Booth runs three mirror booths, including the large-screen Mirror X built for brand activations, from $850.
