A professionally operated 360 photo booth rental typically costs $800 to $1,500 for a standard event. Our Lafayette 360 booth is $900 for 3 hours, which includes an attendant, studio lighting, a custom video overlay, and instant delivery to guests’ phones.
That said, you’ll find 360 booths advertised anywhere from a few hundred dollars to two thousand plus, the widest price spread of anything in the photo booth world. After running our 360 at weddings, galas, and Krewe balls across South Louisiana, here’s what actually sits behind a number like that, so you can evaluate any quote you get, including ours.
When our 360 booth shows up at your event, this is what arrives:
That last line matters more for a 360 than for any other booth. Guests are stepping onto a moving platform, so someone has to manage spacing, keep the line moving, and run the equipment. The 360 is supposed to be the attraction, not the obstacle, and the attendant is what makes that true.
A standard photo booth is a camera, lighting, and software. A 360 booth adds a platform rated to hold several adults, a rotating arm, video processing, and a mandatory operator. It also takes up more floor space and more setup time. You’re not paying a novelty markup; you’re paying for more machine and more labor.
For pricing across every booth type, start with our complete cost guide. If you’re weighing the two, our booth comparison page puts the 360, portrait, and social booths side by side, and this guide on choosing the right booth for your event walks through the decision by event type.
We’re a real company in this market, so take this as informed opinion: when a 360 quote comes in hundreds below everyone else, ask these questions.
The 360 earns its price at events built around energy: wedding receptions, corporate parties, galas, and Krewe balls. It gives guests something to do, produces content people actually post, and becomes a gathering point all night. For quieter events or tight spaces, a portrait booth at $500 or a social booth at $350 may honestly serve you better, and we’ll tell you so.
