A suitable power source is also required for outdoor events.

Yes. Photo Booth Hire Melbourne holds public liability insurance.

Our equipment is also tested and tagged in accordance with applicable requirements.

If your venue requires evidence of insurance before your event, please let us know and we can provide the relevant documentation.

Our Terms & Conditions include provisions relating to inappropriate, unsafe or unacceptable behaviour.

For the safety of our staff, guests and equipment, our attendants may refuse to operate the photo booth or may stop the service where guests are heavily intoxicated, abusive, threatening, engaging in harassment, deliberately damaging equipment or props, refusing reasonable instructions, or otherwise creating an unsafe environment.

In serious circumstances, the photo booth may be removed from the event and additional charges may apply for damage or other costs incurred.

These situations are uncommon, but clear expectations help ensure our team, equipment and guests are treated appropriately throughout the event.

The two most important things to consider are space and power.

Before your event, make sure there is sufficient room for your selected photo booth, backdrop, printer where applicable and guests using the experience.

Clear access for our team is also important for load-in and pack-down. If your venue has stairs, restricted access, loading requirements or other limitations, please let us know in advance.

A suitable power point should also be available within the required distance of the setup.

If a backdrop is included, sufficient space against a suitable wall or structure should be allowed.

For bookings that include a guestbook, a small nearby table can also be useful for guests to leave drinks and personal belongings while using the booth and signing the guestbook.
