Photo Booth & 360 Video Booth Hire for Events
Hire-out of photo booths and 360 video booths for weddings, parties and corporate events, delivered and operated per event.
Weddings and corporate parties book booths as a centrepiece and keepsake. Typical offers: 3-5 hour packages with attendant, props, prints and digital sharing. A booth, camera rig, lighting and transport are the whole kit. Weekend-heavy demand means weekday capacity stays free for corporate work. Gross margin figures are planning estimates of revenue minus direct costs (materials, consumables, fuel and per-job expenses); they exclude the owner's own labour, so treat them as a guide to job economics rather than take-home pay.
