FAQ

We answer some questions below, but for the full scoop please call us at 314-222-0052 and we’ll answer any questions you have quickly with no high pressure pitch.

Q: What makes PartyFace different from other photo booth companies?

A: PartyFace is all about quality and service.  We offer two different types of booths for your entertainment needs.  Each has it’s strengths but both offer outstanding entertainment value.  The “BULB” photo booth gives the feel of a traditional photo booth but it has been updated with modern options that improve speed, quality and the picture frame.  The “SOCIAL CLICK” is an Open Air Photo Studio that allows for custom backdrops and more guests to join in the fun.  Step-and-Repeat backdrops along with numerous branding opportunities make the SOCIAL CLICK the perfect choice for any promotional event.

Q: What is the “FUN FOTO FRAME” and what makes it different from other photo booth companies?

A: The “FUN FOTO FRAME” refers to the unique frame of the shot.  PartyFace booths shoot in a portrait format that is approximately waist to ceiling which allows us to capture "body language" in the photos; more FUN!  There is only so much expression that can be captured with a narrow "head and shoulders shot" which is what most other photo booths capture.  This smaller, narrow frame misses the arms in the air, glasses toasting, dancing in the booth, piggy back rides... I think you get the point!

Q: What about graphics on the print?  Can we get our name and date or company logo on the print?

A: PartyFace goes way beyond your name and date on the print.  Our graphic designers will work with you to match the theme of your event.  Colors, patterns, themes are all incorporated into the prints to insure that your guests will remember your special event for years to come.  In addition, the theme you help us design will be incorporated into

the external monitor and welcome screen inside the booth.  The entire booth will be “Branded” for your special event. 

Q: What is the Quality of the prints and do they print out on the spot at the booth?

A: PartyFace utilizes the highest quality cameras, flash systems and printers to insure that our quality is unsurpassed.  We use 12 mega-pixel digital SLR cameras, not web cams, point and shoot cameras or video cameras.  Your photos will be clear, bright, brilliantly  perfect photos that are not blurry, grainy, or out of focus.  Photos print out on the spot in less than 20 seconds.

Q: How many sessions are possible with a PartyFace Photo booth?

A: Speed is important when choosing the right photo booth for your event.  The more sessions per hour equals more FUN!  Our booths can accommodate up to 80 Sessions per Hour.  Double prints won’t slow us down either.  Our booths can handle the load. 

Q: What modern options have you added to your booths?

A: In addition to the cameras, flashes and printers to insure the highest quality all of our booths have some added techno goodies to further enhance your entertainment experience.  All of our booths are capable of auto-uploading images instantly to a Facebook or Flickr page.  Booth images can be streamed to monitors on the outside of the booth or to large, 46” monitors within a 150’ radius which can bring the fun inside the booth to the rest of the world!  The “SOCIAL CLICK” can wirelessly transmit booth images to up to five different output devices.  This means that you can transmit the fun to an area from the size of a trade show booth to an entire trade show floor!

Q: What is the print format that comes out of the booth?

A: We have chosen to use a vertical orientation 4" x 6" print out for several reasons.  First, the individual photos are much larger than those of a typical strip.  Secondly, it allows us a larger area on the footer or header of the print to customize the graphics, text, etc. to fit your event theme so the print turns into more than a print... it is a perfect party favor!  And lastly, guest tend to find a much larger selection of frames after the event if they choose to frame their priceless memory than if the photo was a strip. 

Q: What is the size of your booth? 

A: Our booths take up an area about 3.5' Deep by 6.5' Wide and stands approximately 6.5' Tall.  We always suggest allowing a footprint of about 8' by 4' for the booth.  Then consider tables for props, guest books, etc. and an area outside the booth for guests to congregate and hop in and out of the booth.  All told we can easily squeeze into a flat, 10’x10’ space.  The only consideration is we require a standard 110V outlet to get the party rolling.  Put us in the middle of the action and the booth will rock!

Q: How many guests can you get into your booth? 

A: Our booths are designed to be just large enough to squeeze a group of 4-6 adults but still maintain a level of confinement that makes it a true photo booth.  There is a trend in the market to create booths that will hold a very large group of guests comfortably, or even shoulder-to-shoulder, but it drastically reduces the true photo booth experience.  If you want a picture of the entire bridal party lined up shoulder to shoulder, ask your photographer to take that shot, as that is really not what a great photo booth is about.  Half of the appeal of a photo booth is the "squeeze" factor and the larger, untraditional feeling and looking booths popping up in the market do not achieve this vital part of what it means to be a Photo Booth!  They certainly still take pictures and some print them out on the spot, but they often lack the appropriate and essential "BOOTH" part.  We provide real photo booths in their true nostalgic, but modern, form!

Q: Do guests choose Black & White or Color Photos in the booth for each session or do we select that option up front?

A: We find that our clients generally have a preference here.  This is one of the reasons why we let you decide in advance if you want B&W or Color photos coming out of the booth at your event.  Most clients are either going for the "Old School" traditional photo booth look and feel and will choose B&W or they enjoy the vivid nature and look of our color photos and will select Color.  When the guests have the choice within the booth, it simply slows down the overall process and reduces the number of sessions you are able to accomplish at your event. 

Q: Will there be someone from PartyFace at the event to make sure things are running correctly?

A: Yes, we have an on-site booth attendant with every booth rental.  Their main objective is to be sure the booth is running correctly, but also to interact with the guests to answer questions, pass out hosting cards (if needed), organize props, explain the scrapbook package, make sure guests are being safe, etc.  They are there to help your booth rental be a smashing success!

Q: What is included in the Scrapbook package through PartyFace and can I choose to provide my own supplies?

A: When clients choose a package with the scrapbook option or choose to add the package to one that does not typically come with it, we provide a choice of a 12" x 12" scrapbook album, black matte pages, metallic markers, double sided archival tape, scissors, and a table with a black linen to the floor.  This table would be set-up next to or near the booth and the attendant would instruct the guests on the process, making sure to keep the table stocked and organized and pulling the entire album together at the end to hand to the client.  You can certainly provide all of the scrapbook items on your own and save the cost of upgrading through us.  We recommend assigning someone to keep an eye on the table and assist guests with any questions in this scenario.  Our booth attendant will be instructed to inform and encourage your guests to build a scrapbook page but not actually build the book or be responsible for the supplies, the books contents or its whereabouts.
