Our "open air" configuration can be  utilized outdoors as long as it's under a covered area or in a tent. We do not set up a photo booth in the open air outside due to weather / rain concerns. Where should we position the booth? We suggest in a clear uncluttered area or in an adjoining space or room away from the dance floor - near a bar or other close area where guests are gathering and having fun - sometimes space is limited and we set up in the hallway or adjoining space - this also can work effectively   Who will bring the booth and be with it during the entire time? A qualified staff member will be with the booth at all times during the event.   How long does it take to set up the booth? Approx. 1 hour 30 mins. - depends on the location or stairs, or load in criteria and if we have to go up an elevator of many floors but do not worry we would check this information out before the date with the venue.
