How much does a photo booth rental cost in the Bay Area?

Our 3-hour experiences start at $350 (Essential), $450 (Signature) and $550 (Glam); corporate events start at $500 with a custom quote. A 25% deposit holds your date and the balance is due the week of the event.

What is included in a booking?

An open-air touchscreen booth with studio lighting, unlimited sessions for the booked hours, a custom 2x6 or 4x6 print design, green screen backgrounds, an online gallery, plus delivery, setup, testing and breakdown.

Which areas do you serve?

We are based in San Mateo and travel free within 25 miles — San Francisco, the whole Peninsula, much of the East Bay and San Jose. From 26 to 35 miles a flat $50 travel fee applies, and we do not travel beyond 35 miles. Enter your city and ZIP when you book and the site works it out for you.

How far in advance should I book?

Popular Saturdays go first, so 4 to 8 weeks ahead is comfortable, and holiday season dates fill sooner. If your date is close, check availability online — the calendar only shows dates and times that are genuinely open.

How much space and power does the booth need?

About 8x8 feet for the booth, backdrop and props, and one standard power outlet within reach. We arrive early to set up and test, and we break down after your booked hours end.

Do guests get prints or digital copies?

Both. Prints come out on site in seconds — 2x6 strips or 4x6 prints with your custom design — and every photo goes to an online gallery you can share after the event.

Can I design my own print template?

Yes. Our online designer lets you build a 2x6 or 4x6 layout with your own colors, background, photos, text and stickers. Saving and downloading a print-ready file unlocks once your date is booked.

Can I give a photo booth as a gift?

Yes. Gift purchases are paid in full, the date is held at purchase, and the recipient gets a gift card with a code that opens the template designer for their event.

Do you need an attendant on site?

The booth is designed for guests to use themselves, so an attendant is optional. Add a professional attendant for $35 per hour if you would rather have someone running it.

What happens if I need to change my date?

Email contact@themomentandmore.com as early as you can. If the new date is open we move your booking and your deposit across.
