A selfie pod inside a walled enclosure. Built-in HD camera with soft fill light, 2×6 dye-sub strip prints in seconds, GIFs and boomerangs for the digital share, and the same software library that runs on the Selfie Pod. The difference is the walls — guests step through a curtained entry, the rest of the room can't see them, and up to six adults fit inside per shot. Black walls + black curtain as standard; branded exterior wraps for corporate events as a quote-stage add-on.
We deliver, set up, test, and pack down. Hires run attended or unattended — your choice at booking; either way a team member is in the area for the duration of every hire. Indoor venues or covered marquees on a level surface. Booked across Surrey, London, Kent and UK-wide.
Why pick the Party Booth — Selfie Pod kit inside a walled enclosure
The selfie pod and Party Booth are the same booth inside the chassis — same camera, same fill light, same printer, same software. The difference is what's around the camera. Open-style booths put guests on display for the whole room; the Party Booth wraps them in walls with a curtain across the entry, and that privacy is the whole pitch. Guests stop performing for the room and start performing for the camera instead — more candid, more expressive shots. Combine that with capacity for six adults inside per shot and you've got the booth for the group-photo moments where the open pod would have to split everyone across multiple takes.

- Up to 6 adults inside per shot
- Branded overlay on every print (logo, event name, monogram or hashtag)
- Props provided
- Attended OR unattended hires (your choice at booking) — team member in the area for the duration of every hire

Add-ons available with Party Booth hire
- Branded exterior wall wrap — wall exteriors wrapped with your branding, ideal for corporate activations and product launches
- Custom backdrop — printed backdrop positioned beside the booth entry for non-booth photos throughout the night
- Audio guestbook pairing — guests record a short voice message for the host alongside their printed strip; popular wedding add-on
What the Party Booth pairs particularly well with
- Newspaper & Magazine Cover Experience — guests star on a custom front page. Themed brilliantly for milestone birthdays, hen weekends, corporate award nights and product launches.
- AI Photo Booth Experience — AI-generated character / scene swaps applied to every guest shot. Layered on top of the standard strip output.
- Custom event-specific layouts — branded templates we build per event (logos, hashtags, themed artwork).
(Kardashian Glam Booth Experience does NOT run on the Party Booth — Glam needs a DSLR with studio-style lighting to deliver the studio finish. For Glam, the Vintage booth is the right pick.)
Space, power and venue requirements for the Party Booth
- ~2m × 2m to ~2m × 2.5m of clear floor space — booth plus pose / queue area
- 1 × standard 13A socket
- Indoor venues or covered marquees on a level surface — walls and curtain aren't weatherproof
How a Party Booth hire runs on the day
- Quote and book — drop your event date, postcode and guest count into the instant quote, confirm with a deposit, and send us your logo or event name for the overlay.
- On the day, before guests arrive — we turn up 30–60 minutes before your event start time and have the booth set up, the curtain hung, and the camera + printer tested in another 30–60 minutes.
- Guests use the booth — they step through the curtain (up to six at a time), tap start on the touchscreen, pose with props, and pick up a printed strip seconds after stepping out. On attended hires the team member at the booth guides the queue, hands out props, and runs the guest book if one's been added.
- Digital sharing — guests scan a QR code on the screen to download their shots, or send via AirDrop / email / SMS straight to a phone.
- After the event — we pack down and send you a branded online gallery of every shot from the night, ready to share with your guests.
Party Booth vs Selfie Pod — which to pick
Same booth inside the chassis. Same camera, same light, same printer, same software. The difference is the walls. The Selfie Pod is open-style — slim footprint, fits anywhere, the whole room sees the guests posing. The Party Booth wraps the same internals in walls with a curtain entry, gives guests privacy from the rest of the room, and fits six adults inside per shot rather than crowding everyone in front of an open pod. Pick the Selfie Pod when you need the smallest possible footprint or want the open look; pick the Party Booth when you want the privacy of an enclosure and bigger groups per shot.
Party Booth vs Oval Enclosed Photo Booth — which to pick
Different chassis, different internals, different price point. The Oval Enclosed Booth is the premium enclosed option — fully sealed cabin (walls + roof + door), DSLR camera with studio-style lighting, 6×4 photo prints or 2×6 strips, three adults inside per shot. The Party Booth is the mid-tier enclosed option — walls + curtain entry only (open at the top), built-in HD camera with soft fill light, 2×6 strips only, six adults inside per shot. Pick the Oval when premium image quality matters or guests need the full privacy of a sealed cabin (especially for the Green Screen Dream experience); pick the Party Booth when the budget is selfie-pod-tier but you want walls around the booth and the bigger group fit.
Events where Party Booth hire fits best
We cover every type of event. The Party Booth fits in particularly well at:
- Milestone birthday parties — six-inside capacity means the whole friend group piles in together; walls give the privacy that turns the booth into a "what happens in the booth stays in the booth" moment
- Hen parties — same privacy + group-fit dynamic; walled enclosure suits the brief
- Weddings — couples who want a photo booth but don't want guests on display for the whole room; pairs neatly with an audio guestbook
- Corporate parties and Christmas parties — branded wall wrap turns the booth into a freestanding branded feature; mid-tier pricing fits the budget for high-volume Christmas events
- School proms and 6th-form leavers' parties — six-inside capacity for the friend-group shots; strip printing turns into trading-card swaps
- Brand activations and product launches — branded wall wrap doubles as on-stand branding; AI Booth and Magazine Cover experiences pair well with brand campaigns
