We're UK Photo Booth Hire, part of Fine Entertainments Ltd in Corby, Northamptonshire. We book booths from trusted partners, help you match the type to the venue and the crowd, then send a quote with no obligation.
Enclosed or open-air?
An enclosed booth is the classic box with a curtain. People pile in, forget anyone's watching and pull ridiculous faces. Good for parties where guests are a little shy at first.
Open-air booths drop the walls and use a backdrop instead, so bigger groups fit in one shot. They take more floor space, though, and you don't want the backdrop right next to a busy doorway. Our open-air booth page goes into the detail.
There's the noise side too. An enclosed booth keeps the giggling contained, which helps if it has to sit near a band or the top table, whereas an open setup is more of a spectacle and draws a crowd.
Mirrors, 360s and GIF booths
A magic mirror is a full-length screen that chats to guests and lets them sign their photo. It's slim, so it copes with tighter rooms. A 360 booth spins a camera around a small platform and makes short videos, while a GIF booth makes looping clips people share straight away.
Video options are usually digital-only, with clips sent by QR code or text. If you want prints for a guest book, go for a print booth or a mirror.

Photo booth hire Coventry venues have room for
Coombe Abbey Hotel, the restored Cistercian abbey in parkland near Binley, has a run of wedding and event rooms from the Cloisters to a marquee. Spaces that size suit an open-air booth or a 360 with plenty of clearance.
Ansty Hall, north-east of the city, is a smaller country house hotel with rooms such as the Cedar Room, where a mirror or compact enclosed booth fits nicely. Nailcote Hall, out towards Berkswell, has a glass marquee for bigger receptions.
For conferences and awards nights, the Coventry Building Society Arena has a big spread of event spaces. Think about where people will actually stand between sessions, because that's where a booth gets used.
Practical bits before you book
Every booth needs a socket close by and somewhere level to stand. Older country houses sometimes have steps between rooms, which matters for heavier kit, and venues across Warwickshire often ask for PAT certificates and public liability insurance.
Once you've a rough idea of the type, send the details through our get a quote form and name the room if you know it. A floor plan from the venue helps even more.
Late finishes are worth flagging as well, because packing down a 360 platform takes a while after the last dance.
