The Short Answer
Most 360 photo booth rentals in the Boston market start at a 3-hour minimum, and pricing is based on your event date and location. Premium packages — with larger platforms, professional camera setups, and full-service attendants — are built for larger events of 50 guests or more.
Because pricing varies by date (Saturday nights in peak wedding season cost more than a Thursday corporate event) and by location (downtown Boston venues vs. a venue an hour outside the city), the only way to get an accurate number is to request a quote for your specific date and venue. We typically reply within a few hours.
What Affects the Price
Several factors move your quote up or down. Understanding them helps you compare apples to apples when you're looking at different rental companies:
- Your event date. Peak wedding season weekends (May through October, especially Saturdays) carry higher demand and higher pricing than off-season or weekday events. If your date is flexible, a Friday or Sunday can meaningfully lower your cost.
- Your venue location. Events in Boston, Cambridge, and the immediate surrounding area are straightforward. Events further out across Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, or Connecticut may include travel considerations depending on distance.
- Number of hours. The standard package includes 3 or 4 hours of service. Adding hours extends the time your guests can use the booth and increases the total cost.
- Guest count. The 360 PRO system is a premium, full-service setup designed for larger events of 50 guests or more. For smaller gatherings, ask about the 360 Express — a more compact option that still delivers the viral video experience at a lower price point.
- Add-ons. Custom backdrops, branded print overlays, DJ add-ons, and uplighting can be bundled into a single package. Bundling often costs less than booking each service separately from different vendors.
What's Included in a 360 Booth Package
A common mistake when comparing quotes is looking only at the bottom-line number without checking what's actually included. A genuinely full-service 360 booth rental should come with:
- A professional camera and ring light setup
- A large platform that fits up to 6 guests at a time
- Vibrant LED lighting around the platform
- A QR code, text, or sharing station so guests can send videos to their phones
- A private digital album collecting every video from the event
- A live slideshow on a large TV screen so the whole party can watch
- Full-body, phone-optimized videos ready for social sharing
- A full-service attendant on site for the entire event
- 3 or 4 hours of standard service time
When a Lower Quote Isn't a Better Deal
When you see a dramatically lower quote elsewhere, it's usually because one or more of these pieces are missing — no attendant, no sharing station, no live slideshow, or a smaller platform that limits the experience. The 360 booth is only as good as the full setup around it.
The 360 PRO vs. The 360 Express
Not every event needs the full premium platform. We offer two options to match the booth to your event size and budget:
The 360 PRO is the full premium system — large platform, professional camera, ring light, LED lighting, live TV slideshow, and sharing station. It's built for larger events of 50 guests or more where you want the maximum "wow" factor and the capacity to keep a line moving quickly.
The 360 Express is a more compact version that delivers the same viral 360 video experience in a smaller footprint, suited to smaller gatherings or venues with limited space. If you're not sure which fits your event, that's exactly the kind of thing we can sort out when you request a quote.
How to Get an Accurate Quote
The fastest way to get real pricing for your event is to give us your date and venue. We'll confirm availability and send you a free, no-obligation quote in writing — typically within a few hours.
Call or text (978) 309-9360, email info@360djs.net, or use the quote request form on our site. We're locally owned and operated in Beverly, MA, and we serve all of Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, Maine, Vermont, and Connecticut.
One note: if a rental company gives you a flat per-hour price without asking about your date, venue, or guest count, that's a sign they may be a national booking agency reselling your event to a local subcontractor — not the local team that actually shows up. We own our equipment and staff our own events, which is why our pricing reflects your actual event details rather than a generic number.
