Start a Photo Booth Rental Business on the Side

Photo booths — especially 360 spinning platforms — have become a staple at weddings, parties, and corporate events. They photograph beautifully on social media, which keeps demand high and rates strong.

Why photo booths are so profitable

A booth is a one-time purchase that books premium rates at events with hard dates. Couples and planners budget for entertainment, and a memorable photo experience is an easy yes. Competition among individual owners is limited, so you can price confidently.

Earning potential

Photo booths rent for $150–$400+ per event. Wedding and party season fills weekends, and a single booth booked regularly can become a meaningful business.

Run it professionally

• Note whether props, lighting, and an attendant are included
• List space and power requirements
• Keep equipment clean and reliable

List your photo booth on Renting Hive, set your event rate, and connect with planners and hosts nearby. The platform handles secure payment while you coordinate delivery and setup. One booth can anchor a profitable weekend side business.
