How it works

Here is how self-serve goes

You do not need any experience with a photo booth. The instructions cover every step.

  1. Pick it up, or we ship it

    Pick up in West Des Moines one to three days before your event, or we ship by UPS anywhere in the country, which averages $60 to $75 each way. Everything arrives in a rolling case.

  2. Set up in 15 to 20 minutes

    Step-by-step instructions are included, and there is nothing to assemble with a tool. You need access to power, and a 10 foot extension cord comes with the rental.

  3. Snap, share, repeat

    Guests take unlimited photos, GIFs, boomerangs and video and send them to themselves on the spot. Your live online gallery is included and fills up as the night goes.

  4. Return within three days

    It packs back into the same rolling case. Drop it off in West Des Moines within three days after your event, or ship it back the way it came.

Worth knowing

What is different with self-serve

Self-serve is the same photo booth and the same unlimited photos. Here is what actually changes.

  • Backdrops, pickup only

    Standard backdrops are available for self-serve pickup events. They are not available for shipped events, though every digital backdrop still is.

  • The GLAM Luxe is delivery only

    The Selfie Stand and the GLAM Booth are available for self-serve. The GLAM Luxe is delivered only, because of the flash and the built-in monitor.

  • 15 to 20 minutes to set up

    Step-by-step instructions come with the rental, and the setup tutorial is online. Nothing needs a tool.

  • One rolling case

    The whole photo booth packs into a single rolling case that fits in a car and rolls into a venue.

  • Power, and a cord

    You need access to power. A 10 foot extension cord comes with every rental.

  • Everything else is identical

    Custom photo template, digital props, unlimited sessions, instant sharing and the live online gallery all work exactly the same.

Before you ask

Self-serve questions we get every week

When do we pick it up and bring it back?

Pickup is from West Des Moines one to three days before your event, and it comes back within three days after. We will settle the exact times with you when you book.

How hard is it to set up ourselves?

Setup takes 15 to 20 minutes and everything arrives packed in a rolling case with step-by-step instructions. You need access to power, and a 10 foot extension cord comes with the rental.

Do we get a backdrop with self-serve?

Standard backdrops are available for self-serve pickup events. They are not available for shipped events, though every digital backdrop and the custom photo template still are.

What does shipping cost?

UPS shipping averages $60 to $75 each way, and we ship anywhere in the United States. It is quoted for your address before you book.

Is the GLAM Luxe available for self-serve?

No. The GLAM Luxe stays with us because of the flash and the built-in monitor. The Selfie Stand and the GLAM Booth are both available for self-serve pickup, and the Selfie Stand ships nationwide.

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.

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.

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.

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.
