Reasonable photo booth?

Lydisun

Does anyone have any recommendations for reasonable photo booth rentals in Columbus? It's so confusing! There is such a huge range of prices and options, features, etc. Would LOVE some advice!! Thanks!!

Check with Buckeye Entertainment (link). If you use their DJ service they knock $100 off. I loved them. Everyone else I found was a lot more.

Unfortunately they are booked for DJ services for my wedding day! . I've heard they are great!

You can get the booth only for $699 if it is available still.

Or here are some older threads:

Thanks for your suggestion! That's more than I was hoping to spend, I'm welcome to other ideas!

Check groupon and similar - it seems like offers always pop up in my email.

if you're inclined to a diy idea... I was at a Christmas party last year, and the hosts set up a photo backdrop with a cute table of signs and props,and an ipad on a tri-pod that had a photo booth application - it was great!

I just received a groupon for a photobooth.  Here is the link....  http://www.groupon.com/deals/pix-perfect?p=1&utm_source=pc_vfe&utm_medium=email&sid=146724d5-4a05-44cd-ae73-3fb5a544fa0a&division=columbus&user=f7f6b42a4324cfe60fd8a97584bc4a55c3a9cdb4b2259f2d9ddf792044f71fb2&date=20131116&s=body&c=deal_title&d=deal-page. It's $349 for 4 hours. )  GL

DIY it. For my June wedding my fiance is building one and we spent less than 100 on supplies and best part you get to keep everything when you're done.

All you really need is a camera(beg and borrow if you dont already have one) and a display screen(free if you have a computer) and a remote (Less than $5 on amazon).

@lydisun did you find a vendor? I really wanted a photo booth too and found an awesome deal of 1k for both a 4hr DJ AND photo booth! Check them out I am excited for them to be a part of my June wedding! Mega beat entertainment with Chris Holloway. Happy planning!

I booked with Shutterbooth-- they have a deal right now for $599- $300 deposit, unlimited hours, includes, memory book, your personalized logo on the bottom of photo strips, and prop box.

How did you get that?? Shutterbooth e-mailed me and said it's $749 for unlimited hours with a $200 deposit.

@foreverlaur,

It was a special they ran months ago from a wedding show.  I actually paid $499 because they gave us a military discount. 

Call Brian at Shutterbooth and ask him what deals they have!

Shutterbooth claimed $749 is the best discount they offer and there was no way any deal was $499 - they actually weren't super nice to me.  I ended up booking Social Confetti because they had a great deal and I have seen them in action at a wedding.

I booked with Shutterbooth in January and they had a bridal show special - same as calewis1 but it was $575. I added on the video guest book option, which is $195 extra, but they knocked off $100 as a military discount, so everything is $670. That includes unlimited hours, props, guest book, customized logo, video messaging, and a $300 deposit.

I just went to a bridal show in Cinci and they were there, offering the same package for $795 that they offered me for $575. I suppose it's a hit or miss, depending on what kind of show you go to.
