Do you offer any discounts?

 Yes, be sure to like our page on Facebook and take advantage of the different promotional discounts that we offer each month. Also, anything you choose to not include with your package gets discounted from the package price. 

Ok, I want to book. What now?

If you’re ready to book, give us a call so that we can set up an appointment for your free one-on-one consultation in order to finalize your contract and rental.

What is needed to reserve a photo booth?

In order to reserve the booth, an appointment would need to be set up in order to sit down and go over your contract. Our one-on-one consultations are completely free and are used to work out the specifics of what you want in your rental.

What is the payment policy? When is the full payment due?

 A deposit is needed in order to book your event date and the remaining balance is due two weeks before your event. Contact us for any special requests regarding payment. We are willing to work with you.

Is there a deposit required? Is it refundable?

Yes, 40% of the total rental price is required in order to hold the date for your event. The deposit is nonrefundable but is still valid within the rotating year, so you can use it towards another event.

What type of payment options do you offer?

We accept cash, check or any Visa, Discover, Mastercard, and Diner’s Club credit cards.  

Is the rental refundable if something changes?

 Rentals are nonrefundable, but can be changed to another date within the rotating year. A rental is only refundable due to a mechanical failure onsite at your event.

What happens if there is a mechanical problem with the booth?

 In the event of a mechanical failure or for any reason such, that a functioning photo booth cannot be provided, Snapix’s maximum liability is the return of any payments received. If only partial services can be provided due, to conditions beyond our control, you will be reimbursed based on our posted rental rates. The reimbursement will be pro-rated on the basis of total rental cost with technical difficulties lasting longer than 20 min. If the rental is for 4 hours and the photo booth is not functioning for 2 hours, you will be charged for a 2 hour rental and the difference reimbursed. Snapix is not liable, however, for hardware/equipment malfunction or failure due to weather conditions; heat, cold, rain, humidity, wind, etc., during events held outdoors or in open air venues.

How do I get to choose my custom strip design?

Your custom strip design is anything and everything you can imagine it to be. During your free consultation, an example is drawn up to meet your specifications. We then send you the layout of your strip design along with three other strips based on your preferences and theme colors for you to choose from. You are not limited to those examples and are free to make changes as you please. Your custom photo strip design is not finalized until you are 100% satisfied and we have received your approval. 

 

 

What is the custom photo scrapbook and how does it work?

Snapix customizes your 12x12 scrapbook to your event theme colors and each scrapbook is personalized with a monogram. During your event, a Snapix attendant will be in charge of placing your strips in the scrapbook and asking your guests to leave messages. The first page of your scrapbook is also personalized to your color scheme and full 4x6 single photos of the honoree is placed there.

What are the dimensions of the booth?

Our booth is 7.5x7.5 feet, but is also available in 3x7.5 ft. 

Do you have any suggestions on how to make sure we and our guests take full advantage of the photo booth?

We suggest that you place the booth in an area where it can be seen by your guests and that you take advantage of our table reminders. Table reminders are completely free and let your guests know that the photo booth is there for unlimited use and free of charge. A Snapix attendant will place two table reminders on each table about 15 minutes before the booth’s run time. They will also carry a sample of your custom photo strip to show your guests as they place the table reminders. 

Where should the photo booth be set up at our event?

The location where the photo booth is set up is entirely up to you. We just ask that we have access to a 110 volt outlet within 25 feet of the booth. In order to get the most out of your rental, we would suggest placing the booth in an area where it can be visible to your guests.

Idle time is time that the booth is fully functional, but not in use until the agreed upon rental time. The 1.5 hours that set-up takes is included with your rental and anything outside of that is subjectto idle time. 

Will there be an attendant available to help my guests?
