From the people who booked us

What our customers say

snapXP was perfect for our wedding! Our guests had so much fun with the filters and several guests commented how nice of quality the photos were! snapXP was super easy to book and they do all set up and tear down making things super easy! Definitely recommend for any event!!
Hannah P.Wedding at River Center
We had the best experience with the photo booth at our wedding! They were incredibly accommodating and got everything set up for us. The photo booth was easy to operate and was the hit of our wedding! I HIGHLY recommend using snapXP for your wedding (or truly any event). It is a crowd pleaser!
Emma H.Wedding
snapXP was amazing to work with for my bridal shower! Emma did all the set up and tear down. She was very professional and was in and out quickly before my event started. You got to customize the photo template, any wording, and the back drop. There were so many backdrops to choose from which was awesome! The photo booth was a hit with my guests, they were still talking about it weeks after the party. We already have them booked for our wedding in June! I couldn't recommend them more
Lauren J.Bridal shower at Glen Oaks Country Club
Loved snapXP at our 40th bday party/wedding! I don't know how we're going to have another party without renting a Selfie Stand! So much fun was had by all and unlimited photos was such a gift for the kids and all who were there. The background we chose looked fabulous and the templates were all customizable for our event and worked really well. Definitely get this to your party if you have the chance!
Nia C.Birthday party
snapXP was so easy to work with. Ben was flexible and great with communication. Their selfie stations and technology are top notch and can be used for events both virtually and in-person, and at the same time, at the same event! Their online gallery is a great addition, too. We used two at our corporate event and had glowing reviews from employees. Highly recommend.
Angela J.Corporate event at Iowa Events Center
snapXP was so fun at our company Christmas party! The photo booth was so simple to use with photos being sent directly to your phone. Highly recommend for any event!

Before you ask

Questions we get every week

How do we lock in our date?

A 25% retainer holds your date. The remaining balance is due 10 days before the event. You can book online for weddings, parties and nonprofits, or send us a note if your event needs anything custom.

What if we need to move the date?

We will do everything we can to move with you. If the equipment is already booked on your new date, the retainer is kept and the agreement ends. Moving into the following year means that year's pricing applies. This is a plain language summary, not legal advice, and the agreement you sign is the final word.

What happens if we cancel?

Cancellations need to be in writing. If you cancel less than 30 days before the event and there is still a balance owed, the remaining service fee becomes due right away. Otherwise the event is refunded minus the retainer.

Do you print photos?

No, and that is on purpose. snapXP is fully digital. Photos, GIFs, boomerangs and video go straight to your guests by text, email or social, and everything lands in a live online gallery you keep. Nothing gets left on a table at the end of the night.

Which backdrop do we get, and what are the upgrades?

A standard backdrop with 30 plus designs is included with every rental. The two upgrades people ask for by name are the shimmer wall, a backdrop of sequins that moves with the room and catches the ring light, and the flower wall, a backdrop packed with blooms that photographs beautifully at a wedding or a shower. Hedge walls are available too. All upgrades are subject to availability, so ask early, and backdrops are never required. See every backdrop.

What do you need from the venue?

Access to power, and we bring a 10 foot extension cord with every rental. We recommend at least 10 feet by 10 feet of space for the photo experience so there is room for a group to pile in.

Can we set up outside?

Yes, and it looks great outdoors. We do recommend cover, and outdoor setups are weather pending, since the equipment is not waterproof.

Our venue is more than 35 miles out. Now what?

Self-serve is the answer. You pick the photo booth up in West Des Moines one to three days before your event and return it within three days after. Setup takes 15 to 20 minutes, step-by-step instructions are included, and everything arrives packed in a rolling case. Standard backdrops are available for pickup events.

Can you ship it to us?

We ship anywhere in the United States by UPS, which averages $60 to $75 each way. Backdrops are not available on shipped events, but every digital backdrop still is.

Is there a limit on photos?

No. Unlimited sessions for the whole rental. Every guest can go as many times as they want, and every one of those photos lands in your gallery.
