Not All Photo Booth Companies Are Created Equal: What to Look for When Hiring One
When planning a wedding, corporate event, or celebration in Orlando, adding a photo booth is one of the best ways to capture memories and entertain guests. But here’s something most people don’t realize, not all photo booth companies are created equal.
While many offer “photo booths,” the level of professionalism, quality, and reliability can vary dramatically. Choosing the wrong company can lead to poor-quality photos, unprofessional service, or even a no-show on your event day.
At Selfie Magic for Parties, we specialize in providing a luxury photo booth experience, the kind that elevates your event and delivers lasting memories. Here’s what to look for before booking any photo booth company.
1. Proof of Insurance (Certificate of Insurance)
A reputable photo booth company should always carry general liability insurance and be able to provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI) upon request.
Why does this matter?
Because accidents happen. If a guest trips over a power cord or a piece of equipment gets damaged, insurance protects both you and your venue. Many Orlando venues require a COI before allowing vendors to set up — and a company that can’t provide one likely isn’t operating professionally.
At Selfie Magic for Parties, we’re fully insured and provide documentation for every venue we work with. Including the Orlando Ritz Carlton, Trellis 925, Bella Collina, The Waldorf Astoria Orlando & Sydonie Mansion.
2. Background-Checked and Trained Employees
Your photo booth attendants will interact directly with your guests, often in private or upscale settings. It’s crucial to work with a company that background checks and trains its team.
This ensures that every attendant is professional, respectful, and prepared to troubleshoot equipment while delivering top-notch guest service.
Our attendants at Selfie Magic for Parties are carefully selected, trained, and background-checked to provide an exceptional experience from start to finish.
3. Quality of Work and Equipment
Not every photo booth produces the same results. Some companies use iPads or webcams, resulting in poor lighting, blurry photos, and unimpressive prints.
Luxury photo booth companies invest in high-end cameras, professional lighting, and elegant setups that match the style of your event. The result? Crisp, flattering photos and videos that guests can’t wait to share.
At Selfie Magic for Parties, we use state-of-the-art technology in our Magic Mirror Booth and 360 Overhead Selfie Station to create stunning, high-quality visuals that look as amazing as your event feels.
4. Years of Experience and Reputation
When comparing companies, ask: How long have you been in business? Experience matters — especially when handling weddings, corporate galas, or large-scale events.
Established companies like Selfie Magic for Parties have the systems, backups, and professionalism to ensure everything runs smoothly from setup to breakdown. We’ve built a trusted reputation in the Orlando area by consistently delivering exceptional service and unforgettable experiences.
5. Portfolio, Reviews, and Social Proof
Before booking, always review a company’s gallery or social media portfolio. The quality of their past work will tell you everything you need to know about what you can expect. Check our our portfolio here!
Also, check Google and social media reviews. A company with consistent five-star ratings and real event photos is far more reliable than one with little to no online presence. See our Reviews!
