360 Photo Booths vs. Open-Air Booths: Which to Rent

A photo booth is no longer a novelty in the corner, it is often the most photographed and most shared part of an event. But not all booths are the same. Choosing between a 360 video booth, an open-air photo booth, and a luxury booth comes down to the energy you want and how guests will share the results.

The 360 video booth

Guests step onto a platform while a camera arm spins around them, capturing a slow-motion 360-degree video. The clips are instantly branded, set to music, and ready to share on social media. The 360 booth is the showstopper, it draws a crowd, creates energy on the dance floor, and produces content guests post immediately.

The open-air photo booth

The classic for a reason. An open-air booth uses a backdrop and a professional camera to deliver unlimited photos, instant sharing, and printed photo strips guests take home. It is approachable for all ages, works beautifully with custom templates and backdrops, and is the most cost-effective way to give every guest a keepsake.

The luxury booth

For upscale weddings and brand activations, a luxury booth pairs premium hardware with custom backdrops and a polished, modern look that matches high-end decor. It delivers the same instant sharing and prints, with an aesthetic that fits a black-tie event.

If you want energy and viral clips, go 360. If you want a keepsake in every guest's hand, go open-air. Many events do both.
