How early do I need to book a photo booth before my event date?
We recommend you reserve a photo booth as early as possible prior to your event. This allows us time to plan and design your templates for your event.

A non-refundable $200 deposit is required to book your event. The remaining balance is due no later than 14 days prior to your event. We accept cash, check, money order, and PayPal.
What are the space requirements for your photo booths?
We will require a space of roughly 10ft by 10ft that must be accessible to a nearby electrical outlet. However, we can work with you to set up in a smaller space if required. We also require a table.
What is the best location for the photo booth?
The best location for the photo booth is in a high traffic area. This will guarantee our photo booth attracts the most attention and delivers the most fun and entertainment at your event.
How many people can fit in the picture?
You are only limited to the number of people you can squeeze in front of the camera. Our photo booth is an open concept design; therefore, the group shots are easily accommodated and can fit up to 20 people. Our photo booth is also wheelchair accessible.
I do not see a package that fits my event, can I customize a package?
Yes. We can customize an entire package that will meet your needs in any way we can.
How long does set-up and tear-down take?
Set-up and tear-down will each take approximately 45mins. It will NOT be counted towards the operating time.
What size are the photos?
We can produce multiple print formats;
– two identical 2×6 photo strips
– 4×6, 5×7 and 6×8 photos
5×7 and 6×8 are specialty sizes and require advance notice. Please contact us to learn more.
Can we have a special message on our photo booth strips?
Absolutely! Our in house graphic design team will create a custom template with your name, date, company logo, images, or anything else you would like. It will truly be one of a kind.
What if we want to pause for a couple of hours?
We can arrange for “Idle Time” service. Please contact us for more information.
What kind of printer do you use?
We use the latest digital printing technology – professional dye-sublimation printers. These printers produce photo lab quality digital prints in as little as 8 seconds. Every printed photo strip will not fade, smudge, or smear.
I want to see a sample photo strip before I decide to book a photo booth. Is that possible?
Yes. Please contact us via phone or email and we will be more than happy to send you some sample photo strips.
Do my guests have to pay to use the booth?
No. The photo booth rental is all-inclusive and available to everyone at the event. You and your guests can use the photo booth as often as you would like for the duration of the time booked.
Is there an additional fee for outdoor setups?
Yes, there is an additional $20 fee if we need to setup our photo booth outdoors. Setting up the booth outdoors does require additional work and time. **NOTE: Please make sure an electrical outlet is available for us to use. If an electrical outlet is not available, the client is to provide a generator or we can provide a generator for an additional charge of $100.
What is your service area? Are there out-of-town trip fee?
The Pixel Booth offers free travel up to 32 miles one way, or 64 miles roundrip and $1.15 for each additional mile.
Example: If the drive to your Venue is 130 miles roundtrip.
130 miles – 64 miles = 66 miles.
66 miles x 1.15 = $75.90 (trip fee)
How Do I Add Extra Hours and Idle Time?
How much is it to add extra hours?
Our packages start with 2 hours of photo booth time. We have other packages that offer 3 and 4 hours or a full day rate. However, prior to your event, you can add extra photo booth hours for $200 per hour. Looking to add an extra half hour? We are happy to do that as well for $100 for an 30 extra minutes. Tell us your wishes and we can customize the timing of the rental for your event!
Can I add time during the event?
Yes! We know that the photo booth can become the life of the party. Simply ask your photo booth attendant if the booth is available to rent for additional time. (Subject to booth and attendant availability) Should you choose to add extra time during the event, the rate is $200/hour or $100/half-hour that we will bill following the event.
How do I pay for the extra photo booth hours?
If you are adding extra hours during your initial reservation, we will add the details to your event contract. If you decide to purchase extra time after your initial contract, we will bill you the extra hours after your event or we can accept a credit card payment on the spot.
*To protect you and the attendant, we request that you please do not give cash or payment to the photobooth attendant during an event. We prefer our attendants not to handle payments and only focus on providing the best possible service to you and your guests at the event.
IDLE TIME
What is Idle Time?
Idle Time, also called Idle Hours, is time during your booth rental where you want the photo booth set up, but not in service for guests. Why would you want or need idle time? Consider the following scenario:
You’ve picked the perfect location for your beautiful Downtown Milwaukee wedding reception. Your ceremony is complete and guests are headed to the reception area while the bridal party is taking pictures. You want guests to be able to take pictures in the photo booth during cocktail hour, but you’d prefer everyone stay seated during dinner, speeches, and the first dance. A typical timeline would be:
Booth Rental Open: 5:00pm-6:00pm
Booth Rental Closed/Idle: 6:00pm-7:00pm
Booth Rental Open: 7:00pm-10:00pm
By adding an idle hour for your photo booth reservation, you still get four full hours of open booth time for your guests AND you’ll have their full attention for dinner, speeches, the first dance, cake cutting or any other event taking place.
Is Idle Time only for Weddings?
No! Many different types of events can benefit from purchasing idle time. Corporate events often split the photobooth time to have it open before and after their dinner or awards ceremony. Birthday parties may use idle time to close during the cake, ice cream, and presents time. Prom and other school dances benefit from idle time as well. There are many other scenarios where it makes sense to have the photo booth for your Detroit event closed or idle for a period of time.
What is the price of Idle Time?
Idle time can be added to your rental or $50 per hour. You can divide that rate into 15 minute, or 30 minute segments to meet your event needs. There is no limit to how many idle hours you can add.
