Find the Perfect Fit for Your Guest Count & Vibe
A Quick Guide for Planners, Hosts, and Brand Teams
Are you planning an event and want guests to walk away with something unforgettable? A great photo booth can do more than capture memories—it becomes part of the experience. However, not all photo booths are created equal. At Hive Photo Booths, we offer a variety of setups tailored to different event types, guest counts, and vibes. Here’s a breakdown to help you find the perfect fit.
Studio Photo Booth with Prints
Best For: Corporate Events, Weddings, Brand Activations
Ideal Guest Count: 75–500+
Our most requested option — the Studio Booth — is fast, polished, and built for high-traffic events. It features a DSLR camera, professional studio lighting, and instant 4×6 prints so every guest walks away with a branded or personalized photo.
Why It Works:
- Studio-quality photos with fast, reliable performance
- Prints for every guest — great for keepsakes or brand exposure
- Custom overlays to match your event branding
Example Event:
At the Interscope Records Coachella House Party, we used our Studio Booth with custom overlays and fast printing to accommodate over 300 guests, each walking away with a branded takeaway.
Glam Booth
Best For: Luxury Weddings, Fashion Events, VIP Galas
Ideal Guest Count: 50–300
Inspired by the black-and-white Hollywood aesthetic, the Glam Booth delivers ultra-polished portraits with skin-smoothing filters and beauty lighting. It’s sleek, elegant, and perfect for red carpet vibes.
Why It Works:
- Signature “Kardashian-style” look
- Soft skin-smoothing filters and controlled lighting
- Perfect for high-end, design-conscious events
Example Event:
We featured the Glam Booth at DVF’s “Journey of a Dress” exhibit at LACMA, a perfect fit for a fashion-forward crowd that wanted flawless, instantly shareable portraits.
AI Photo Booth
Best For: Experiential Marketing, Music Events, Gen Z & Tech Audiences
Ideal Guest Count: 75–400
Our AI Booth uses artificial intelligence to generate stylized digital images in real-time for events where you want something unexpected and futuristic. It’s interactive, artistic, and 100% shareable.
Why It Works:
- Wow-factor imagery that gets people talking
- Great for immersive brand activations and modern art vibes
- Fully customizable with filters, branding, or themes
Example Event:
At the Empire Records “808s & Pancakes” party, we used our AI Booth to remix the event logo into a Y2K-inspired airbrush backdrop, delivering stylized photos that matched the party’s aesthetic.
Green Screen Booth
Best For: Themed Parties, Trade Shows, TV & Film Activations
Ideal Guest Count: 75–350
Transport your guests anywhere — even another dimension. Our Green Screen Booth swaps in fully customized backgrounds that align with your event’s theme, campaign, or fantasy setting.
Why It Works:
- Perfect for immersive branding
- Works well at activations or media events
- Fully customizable with overlays, props, or effects
Example Event:
We used this booth setup for a Valentine’s Day activation with Empire Records. We replaced the background with a dreamy Y2K logo-inspired world, giving each guest a unique, branded image.
360 Video Booth
Best For: Nightlife Events, Product Launches, Luxury Birthdays
Ideal Guest Count: 50–250
This booth is all about movement. Guests stand on a platform while a rotating camera captures a dramatic, slow-motion 360° video. It’s high-energy, social media gold.
Why It Works:
- Delivers engaging, short-form content guests love to share
- Adds visual drama and excitement to any party
- Can be branded with logos, music, and overlays
Example Event:
Our 360 Booth was the centerpiece attraction at a Revolve influencer party. It produced stylized slow-mo videos with branded overlays that filled the hosts’ Instagram stories all night.
So… What’s the Right Booth for You?
Start by asking:
- What’s the vibe of your event — sleek and luxurious, fun and fast-paced, or bold and tech-forward?
- How many guests are attending — do you need a high-throughput solution or something more stylized?
- Are you looking for printed keepsakes, shareable digital content, or both?
If you’re planning a corporate party, a launch event, or a private celebration, we’ll help you choose the setup that aligns with your goals, timeline, and guest experience.
