Photo Booth Hire Portsmouth
This page gathers the photo booth options for bookings in Portsmouth: the green screen booths, the Green Screen Dream Machine, the Magic Selfie Mirror, the combination video and photo booth, and the Christmas booth. Portsmouth is about eight miles from the Havant workshop along the A27 and A2030, so the booth and its operator are not coming far for a city-centre wedding or a university summer ball.
The details vary by booth, so use the product pages above for the exact setup. The green screen booth pages list a flat, level indoor or marquee space of 2.3m wide by 1.25m deep by 2.1m high, with props, custom print wording, prints on the night and USB handover described on the relevant products. In Portsmouth we are booked most often for weddings at city-centre and waterfront venues, school proms, university balls, Christmas parties at hotel and pub venues, milestone birthdays and corporate events at the dockyard fringe. For a corporate booking, tell us early if the print layout needs a company name, date or logo, because that changes what we need before the day. Send the venue, timings and booth choice when you enquire, and include any access or room-layout awkwardness while you are there. If the venue wants the insurance certificate or PAT documentation, ask for it at the same time. Six booths cover the Portsmouth diary, from the classic enclosed unit to the green screen options, the walk-up Magic Selfie Mirror and the combination video and photo booth. Space is modest at a Portsmouth venue - roughly 2.3m by 1.25m by 2.1m for an enclosed unit and a socket within reach - and every Portsmouth hire is staffed, so nobody has to manage it themselves. We've traded from a commercial unit in Havant since 2002, and the booths and everything else in the fleet are owned outright, with no Portsmouth booking passed to an agency. Every inflatable is PIPA-tagged and inspected annually by our in-house RPII inspector, the electrics are PAT-tested, every member of staff is enhanced-DBS registered, and the £10 million public liability certificate, risk assessment and method statement can go out with the Portsmouth quote. Booths travel well alongside the rest of a Portsmouth event: the bouncy castles and assault courses hold the daytime, a rodeo bull draws the crowd, and the booth covers the evening. See the Portsmouth event hire range for the full list. The Christmas photo booth is the December version of the same kit, and the rest of a Portsmouth December do is on the Christmas entertainment Portsmouth page.
Had lots of fun in their photobooth - really great quality on the photos & the design on the printout I received was brilliant!

Photo booth hire in Portsmouth - common questions
Does a Monster operator stay with the booth at Portsmouth events?
Yes. Every booth and the Magic Selfie Mirror is a staffed hire in Portsmouth: a trained, enhanced-DBS registered operator sets it up, runs it through the event and packs it down.
How much space does a photo booth need at a Portsmouth venue?
An enclosed Portsmouth booth fits into about 2.3m by 1.25m by 2.1m of level floor with a socket, while the walk-up Magic Selfie Mirror needs less privacy. Tell us the Portsmouth room and we will confirm what fits.
Do guests get prints on the night at Portsmouth events?
Prints come out on the night and the whole set goes on a USB at the end of the event, which is the usual handover for Portsmouth parties and proms.
How far ahead should we book a booth in Portsmouth?
For a Portsmouth summer ball or December party, a few weeks' notice is comfortable and last-minute is sometimes doable. Book the Portsmouth date early and the widest choice of booths is still there.
