Rent My Booth | Photo Booth Rental NYC

NYC Photo booth update– excited to share that I have a special page for New York City LGBTQ+ Pride events for this June! If you’re planning a Pride Month celebration, company mixer, or LGBTQ+ community event, I’m here to help you make it shine. I’m a gay, NYC-based photo booth host who brings the energy, the inclusivity, and the kind of setup that makes people feel great in front of the camera. I stay with the booth all night hyping the crowd, guiding guests, and making sure the photos look as good as your intentions. (Flattering lighting is my love language.) DM me to book!

I really love this review from a birthday party I did with my photo booth rental service in Chelsea, NYC. I love that she mentioned how I was easy to book with and my pricing was simpler and better than any other company!

“Ben was amazing! Not only was the best-priced vendor of the 8 that I reached out to, he was also extremely easy to work with. Ben’s set-up was perfect. He brought fun props and the kids were able to print and take their photos home. The photo booth was the highlight of the party. Highly recommend!” -Teresa H.

Wondering how much a photo booth costs in NYC? Let’s break it down.

Photo booth rentals in the city can range from $200 to over $2,000, depending on what kind of experience you’re after.

Here’s a quick guide:

• $200–$600 → Very basic setups, digital-only, no printing, usually no host, usually 1-2 hours, and smaller parties
• $600–$1,200 → Where most great booths live (including Rent My Booth!)—prints, pro lighting, fun props, and a real human (Me, Ben!) running the show
• $1,200–$1,500 → Even more customization, upgraded visuals, and added polish
• $1,500+ → High-glam, editorial-style booths (think black & white, no props, Kardashian vibes– focused on the quality of the photo vs the human experience & fun)

Most of my clients spend between $650–$1,200, depending on size, length, and features. It’s a sweet spot that brings the fun and the quality.

What Does an NYC Photo Booth Really Cost?

Hi, I’m Ben—I run Rent My Booth, and I’ve brought high-energy photo booth setups to 150+ NYC.

If you’re looking around and seeing booths advertised for under $650, here’s the real talk: those setups usually aren’t usually delivering a fantastic experience. Or the reason they can charge less is because the booth isn’t hosted, or they aren’t aiming to bring a really high quality experience to your party

At Rent My Booth, my packages typically start at $650 for smaller local parties, and goes up to 1500+ for larger, longer events. Here’s what that includes:

High quality camera + ring lighting = photos people actually keep
A real human host (me, Ben!) who hypes your guests and keeps the vibe going
Unlimited prints + digital sharing
A curated backdrop and props that actually match your event

Whether you’re planning a rooftop wedding, a corporate bash, or a graduation party—I’m there, running the booth, adjusting the lighting, and making sure your guests have fun and leave with something they’ll want to show off.
