Q: Why should I rent my photobooth from Black Tie Photobooth?
A: Black Tie Photobooths are truly the best option for your event; it is the only thing we do. We offer many unique items with the rental that others don't include or charge extra for. That's what makes us different. You also have the ability to purchase the photos on merchandise through our website, such as on a coffee mug, keychain, or a magnet, all the way up to t-shirts and sweatshirts. Our photobooths utilize professional printing techniques to provide you and your guests with the highest quality photos.

Q: How many people can fit in the booth?
A: 2 to 4 people can fit comfortably with plenty of room to spare.  You can fit up to at least 8 to 10 if you really like each other.

Q: Can I have black and white or color photos?
A: You can chose the type you want by pressing either the Color or Black and White button in the booth, the camera will do all the work.

Q: How much space is required for the booth?
A: The booth itself is not too large, but we require space for a table for the memory book and there is usually a line of people eager to jump in the booth.  The booth itself will easily fit through a door that is 30 inches or wider and a 10 x 12 area is suitable for setup.

Q: Where do you typically set up the booth?
A: We generally like to set the booth up in the main reception area, near the bar or dance floor or wherever there is enough space.  We do require a normal three prong AC power outlet near the set up area.

Q: How many photos can we take during our event?
A: Unlimited!  You and your guests can take as many as you want.

Q: How does it work?
A: Just enter the booth, press the button, make a funny face if you wish and the booth will take 3 or 4 pictures of you about 4-6 seconds apart.  Shortly after you exit the booth, a 4 x 6 photo is printed with 3 or 4 pictures in 2 columns of you.

Q: Can I have copies of the photos from the event?
A: Each session will print 2 sets of the photos.  One set for your guests and second set for your memory book.  You will also receive all of the photos on a CD or DVD. *Note, copies on a CD or DVD not available with the Basic Package.

Q: What type of events do people rent photobooths for?
A: A photobooth will make any event more fun and memorable. We would recommend renting a photobooth for wedding receptions, birthday parties, proms and school dances, graduation parties, family reunions, anniversary parties, fundraisers and corporate events.

A: It costs nothing extra to host the photos, it is included with your rental for an unlimited amount of time.

A: Your guests can purchase additional photos, enlargements, magnets, mugs and more through our website.

Q: What happens if I spill water or another beverage on my photos?
A: Simply wipe them off. Limited exposure to water will not harm the photos as long as it is wiped dry as soon as possible. The photos are not washing machine safe however.

A: No, this isn't like the photobooths of old. We use the highest quality digital cameras and professional dye-sub printers in our photobooths.

Q: How far will you travel for an event?
A: At this time, we are able to service the Fargo - Moorhead and surrounding area up to 100 miles. Anything over 100 miles there would be a travel charge of $2.00 per mile.

Q: Is there a set up charge?
A: We do not charge for set up and tear down. When it comes to rental fees, only the hours of the actual event apply.

Q: How long does it take to set-up?
A: Once all the equipment is in the area where the booth will be setup, it only takes about an hour, however we prefer to have the booth set-up at least 2-3 hours before your event starts if possible so as not to disturb your event. Tear down takes a bit longer.

Q: Can I have a message on the photo?
A: This is included with your rental. You can have any message you want for your event. If the event is a wedding, we prefer to put the names of the bride and groom on the photo along with the event date.
