Start with what you want to keep
The first question is prints or video. If you want guests to walk away with a physical strip and you to keep a guest book, choose a printing booth: a mirror, open-air or enclosed booth. If the night is about instant social sharing, a 360 or GIF booth that sends clips to phones will get more love, especially with a younger crowd.
Many Adelaide events run both: a printing booth for the keepsakes and a 360 for the spectacle. If that is you, ask suppliers about a package across two booths, which can come with a saving.
Match the booth to your space and group
Space decides a lot. An open-air booth has a small footprint but fits big group shots against your backdrop. A mirror booth is a feature piece but needs more room and a clear sight line. An enclosed booth gives private, cheeky strips but the whole pod has to fit through the door. A 360 booth needs clear space around the platform for the arm to sweep safely.
If your venue is tight or spread out, a roaming booth, a handheld camera and printer carried through the crowd, takes up no floor space and reaches every table. It captures candid moments rather than posed group shots, so many people pair it with a fixed booth.
Match the booth to the occasion
Weddings and engagements suit a mirror or open-air booth that looks elegant in the room and fits the bridal party. Birthdays, especially 18ths and 21sts, lean to a 360 or GIF booth for the instant clips, or an enclosed booth for candid strips. Corporate events want branding and often data capture. School formals need a high-throughput booth and a supervised attendant.
If you are pulling a whole event together, it is worth sorting the party hire in Adelaide at the same time so the booth, furniture and styling all match.
