The Columbus vendors we checked offer 5 kinds of booth between them. These three cover most weddings.
A camera or tablet on a stand, a ring light and a backdrop. No walls, so big groups fit in one shot and the booth packs into a few cases.
Best for: Most venues, big groups, tight load-ins
Guests stand on a platform while an arm circles them and records slow-motion video. Great on the dance floor, but it makes clips, not prints.
Best for: Dance floor energy, social sharing
Classic booths print 2x6 strips or 4x6 photos on the spot. Ask for a second copy of each strip and a guestbook, and you get a signed album by the end of the night.
Best for: Keepsakes for guests and for youColumbus highs run from 37°F in January to 85°F in July. May through September keep highs between 74 and 85°F, the window for garden and brewery patio receptions. Rain is steady, 3 to 4.7 inches a month, with July the wettest.
Average highs between 62 and 86°F in those months. The wettest month is July at 4.7 inches, so keep a covered spot ready either way.
For a Saturday in those months, book the booth soon after the venue and photographer. Check Cherry
Two Columbus quotes with the same headline price can differ by an hour, the prints or the attendant. Get these answers in writing, then compare.
Hours, prints, an attendant, props, a custom print template and the online gallery. 1 of the 3 Columbus vendors on this page include prints in a listed package, so compare line by line.
The Columbus Photo Booth Company: no delivery fee within 30 miles of its office. Ask every vendor for the travel line before you compare totals.
Ask for the exact footprint and the number of outlets the booth needs, then send both to your venue. A 360 platform needs clear space all around it.
Ask when the online gallery goes live, how long it stays up and whether you can download every photo and clip in full size.
A wedding planner walks through booth types, what drives the price and whether guests still line up for a booth now that everyone carries a camera. Worth a watch before you call Columbus vendors.
