Photo Booth Price List and Package Menu Template
Updated November 2026 · 4 min read
A photo booth price list works best as three packages per booth type (good, better, best), a short add-on menu, and your payment terms underneath. Design the middle package as the clear best value, show what it would cost bought separately, and publish starting prices so leads can qualify themselves before they write.
The numbers below are example benchmarks for a mid-size US metro, not market rates. Run your own costs through the pricing calculator before you publish anything.
How should the three tiers be built?
Each step up adds time plus the add-ons clients value most. A 360 example:
| Spin Essentials | Spin Party (most popular) | Spin VIP | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hours | 2 | 3 | 4 |
| Overlay | Template | Custom | Custom |
| Prop box | No | Yes | Yes |
| Backdrop | No | Standard | Premium |
| Branded gallery page | No | No | Yes |
| Bought separately | $595 | $1,010 | $1,485 |
| Package price | $595 | $945 | $1,395 |
The same pattern works for an iPad booth ($395, $725, $1,145) and a magic mirror ($895, $1,245, $1,695).
How do you price the middle package?
The middle tier is where most bookings should land, so make it the obvious value and your best margin:
- Discount the bundle, never the base. Spin Party is $1,010 bought piece by piece and $945 as a package. The entry tier stays at full price to protect your floor.
- Quote upgrades as the difference. "It is $350 more for an extra hour plus the custom overlay, props and backdrop" lands better than a new total.
- Bundle two booths at one event with 10% off the lower-priced package. A 360 plus a mirror is a strong corporate and prom offer.
Then check the floor. With the calculator's default inputs, the true cost of a base event comes to about $120 for an iPad booth, $145 for a 360 and $225 for a magic mirror. Your figure depends on your attendant pay, travel, media and gear, so calculate it before you set tiers.
What should appear under the packages?
Put the terms directly under the menu so nothing surprises anyone later:
- A 30% non-refundable retainer reserves the date; the balance is due 7 days before
- Travel: first 30 miles included, then $1.25 per mile beyond 30, each way
- Overtime at the hourly rate, subject to availability
- Setup included: 45 minutes before start for an iPad booth, 60 for a 360 or mirror
- Space and power: 10 x 10 ft (12 x 12 ft for a 360) and one dedicated outlet within 25 ft
- Online gallery within 48 hours
Sample excerpt (menu footer): "All packages include setup, breakdown, a friendly attendant and an online gallery within 48 hours. A 30% non-refundable retainer reserves your date; the balance is due 7 days before your event."
What price list mistakes cost bookings?
- Hiding the attendant. Say it is included; it is a main reason your price beats a self-serve rental.
- "Starting at" with no hours. "From $595 for 2 hours" is honest; "from $595" is not.
- A menu that disagrees with your quote formula. The website, instant quote and contract must produce the same total.
- A different menu for every event type. Keep one menu and change which tier you recommend. See upsells for when to suggest what.
Questions operators ask
Should I show prices on my website?
Showing starting prices with hours filters out leads who cannot afford you, and it makes your quote feel expected rather than shocking. Keep full package details for the quote, where you can tailor them.
Should Saturday prices be higher?
You can, and the example contract already allows for it: a client who reschedules onto a higher-priced day pays the difference. If you use peak pricing, show it on the menu so it is never a surprise.
How often should I update my price list?
Review it at least once a year and whenever a cost moves, such as attendant pay, media or software. Update the website, quote templates and contract on the same day.
Should I list a price for a 1-hour booking?
The minimum here is 2 hours for iPad and 360 booths and 3 hours for the mirror, because setup and breakdown take the same time either way. If a client asks for 1 hour, quote the minimum.
