If you’re planning a wedding, corporate party, gala, or birthday bash, one of the first questions you’ll ask any vendor is the same one we hear daily: what’s actually included in a standard photo booth package? It’s a fair thing to want pinned down before you book. Pricing pages can be vague, “packages” mean different things at different companies, and the last thing you want on event day is a surprise add-on charge or a missing feature you assumed was standard.
After 19 years and 2.5 million photos taken across New England, we’ve standardized our packages so couples and event planners know exactly what they’re getting. Here’s a complete breakdown.
The Short Answer
A standard photo booth package from New England Photo Booth typically includes:
- A professional, friendly on-site attendant for the duration of your event
- Set rental hours (most events book between 3 and 5 hours)
- Unlimited sessions during your rental window
- A custom-designed photo template branded to your event
- High-quality instant prints (for booths that print)
- A premium backdrop selection
- A curated prop collection appropriate to your event style
- A digital gallery delivered after the event so every guest can download their photos
- Full setup and breakdown — no work on your end
That’s the baseline. What changes from package to package is which booth you choose, and which add-ons you layer on top.
Why “Standard” Looks Different at Different Companies
Here’s the part most articles skip: the word “standard” varies wildly across the industry. Some companies call a 2-hour rental with no attendant their “standard.” Others bundle in props but charge extra for the digital gallery. A few don’t include prints at all without an upgrade.
We took a different approach. Every booth in our 12-booth lineup ships with the same core inclusions, so the only real decision you’re making is which experience fits your event — not whether you’re going to get nickel-and-dimed for the basics.
What’s Always Included (Regardless of Booth)
No matter which experience you pick, every standard package from us comes with:
A professional attendant. This is non-negotiable. Our attendants set up, troubleshoot, hand out prints, restock props, manage the line, and stay until breakdown. You should never be running a photo booth at your own event.
A custom-designed template. Your photo template — the layout, colors, logo or monogram, event date — is designed to match your event’s branding before your day arrives. We send proofs for approval.
A backdrop selection. Browse our backdrop library to find the right look. We carry sequin, floral, fabric, vinyl, and structured options. Backdrop swaps for additional fees are available if you want a specific match to your décor.
Props. Curated for your event type — weddings get a different prop crate than corporate parties or birthdays. We refresh inventory regularly.
Unlimited sessions. No per-photo charges, no caps. Your guests can come back as many times as they want during your rental window.
A digital gallery. Every photo, GIF, and video from your event delivered in a downloadable online gallery within a few business days. Guests get the link, you keep the archive.
Full setup and breakdown. We arrive at least 60 minutes early, set up, do a test run, and break down quickly at the end. You don’t lift a finger.
How to Get an Exact Package Quote
Pricing depends on three things: which booth you pick, how many hours you need, and which date you’re targeting (peak Saturdays in May, June, September, and October book up fastest in New England).
The fastest way to get specifics is to fill out our instant quote form — you’ll get pricing back the same day. If you already know which booth you want, request a date hold directly and we’ll lock it in.
The bottom line: a standard photo booth package should always include an attendant, custom prints, props, a backdrop, unlimited sessions, and a digital gallery. If a vendor’s “standard” leaves any of those out, ask why — and what it’ll cost to add them back. Better yet, request a quote from a company where those things are baked in from the start.
