Some questions to ask yourself when trying to decide which type of booth is right for you:

Do I want an enclosed booth or an open air booth?
Do I want a mobile photo booth (such as a bus or trailer)?
Do I want the Photo Booth to contribute to my vibe and overall entertainment for my guests?
What do I know about the photo booth company? Are they friendly, responsive, easy to work with? Do they have good reviews?
