When booking a photo booth in Charlotte, couples should consider equipment quality, customization options, attendant professionalism, and sharing capabilities. 'Vendors who’ve worked at venues like 658 Center or Camp North End know how to set up for different lighting and space configurations,' says local planner Dana Wallace. Also, ask about Wi-Fi requirements and backup plans, especially if your venue is in a more rural area like Mint Hill.
Charlotte couples are getting creative with their photo booth setups. Glam booths with beauty lighting are popular for upscale venues in Myers Park, while 360-degree video booths are trending for modern venues in South End. Customized backdrops featuring neon signs or florals are on the rise, especially for weddings at The Revelry or The Collector’s Room. Vintage camper-style booths are also a hit at outdoor venues like Morning Glory Farm, giving off a fun, relaxed vibe.
Our analysis shows that photo booths should be booked 6 to 9 months before the wedding, especially for peak dates in April, May, and October. Basic packages in Charlotte typically start around $500, while premium setups with video and printed strips can run up to $1,500. Couples should plan to allocate about 5% of their wedding budget for this entertainment element. Be sure to confirm setup requirements with your venue in advance.
