Hosts ask me the same three questions about a 360 booth. Will it fit in the room? What will it cost? What happens on the day of the event?
I wrote this page to answer those questions in plain terms. I based the topics on what renters ask most. I checked the numbers against the published details from Sunrise Rentals, a company that serves Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC. I chose them as my recommendation because their prices are posted, their package is easy to read, and it covers the items a host needs.
If you plan to book a 360 video booth rental, the answers below will help you measure your space, set your budget, and know what to expect before you sign anything.
What Does a 360 Booth Do?
A camera sits on a revolving arm and spins around your guests while they stand on a platform. The camera records slow-motion video at 120 frames per second. That speed makes every movement look smooth and clear.
Guests can send their video to themselves by email or text at the event. Each clip has a custom overlay and music, which gives your event a look that matches your theme.
How Much Space Does a 360 Booth Need?
Space is the first thing I tell people to check. Sunrise Rentals says the booth needs at least 10 by 10 feet. They say 12 by 12 feet works better.
The extra room gives the arm space to turn and gives your guests space to stand and watch without crowding the platform.
Before you book, I suggest you do the following:
1. Measure the spot you want to use.
2. Check the ceiling height and look for lights or decor that hang low.
3. Leave room for the red carpet and the sharing station.
4. Ask your venue where the booth can go and how the team can reach that spot.
How Many People Fit on the Platform?
The platform holds up to four adults or five children at one time. That size works for friend groups, couples, and families.
If you expect a large crowd, plan for guests to take turns. Short clips move the line along quickly.
How Much Does a 360 Booth Rental Cost?
Sunrise Rentals sells one all-inclusive package with three time options:
- Two hours: $500
- Three hours: $620
- Four hours: $740
Travel fees may apply, based on your location. Ask for a total price that includes travel before you decide.
Pick your hours based on the length of your event and when your guests will be in the room. Two hours fits a short party. Four hours fits a wedding reception where guests arrive and leave at different times.
What Does the Price Include?
A clear package keeps your budget simple. The Sunrise Rentals package includes:
- Two professional attendants
- Premium lighting
- A red carpet and stanchions
- A sharing station
- Custom overlay design
I like that the attendants are part of the price. Two people run the booth, help guests step on and off the platform, and keep the line moving. That frees you to enjoy your event.
Can I Add a 360 Booth to a Photo Booth?
Yes. If you book a photo booth package with Sunrise Rentals, you can add the 360 booth for $380 for two hours instead of $500. Extra hours cost $100 each. One team handles both booths with one setup.
This option saves money and keeps your planning in one place. You deal with one company, one schedule, and one team on the day.
Their photo booth uses a professional DSLR camera and studio-grade lighting, and it includes an on-site attendant. You can offer your guests prints and a video in the same event.
How Does Setup Work?
For their photo booths, the team arrives about two hours before the start time to set up and test the lighting at no extra charge. Ask them to confirm the exact arrival time for your 360 booth.
If you need the booth ready earlier, or if you want to split your hours, ask how they bill the time the booth sits idle. For their photo booths, idle time costs $60 per hour.
Here is how I suggest you prepare:
- Give the team a clear path from the entrance to the booth space.
- Tell your venue when the team will arrive.
- Ask about parking and loading rules.
- Pick a spot where guests can see the booth but the line will not block a walkway.
Can I Use a 360 Booth Outdoors?
Ask the company before you decide. I suggest a flat, covered area, because the platform and the arm need level ground. Wind and rain can cause trouble for any rental that has moving parts and lights. Have an indoor backup spot ready.
Why I Recommend Sunrise Rentals
Here are my reasons for recommending them over other options:
- Posted prices. You can see the cost for each time block before you call.
- Full package. Two attendants, lighting, a red carpet, stanchions, a sharing station, and overlay design come with the booth.
- Bundle savings. Photo booth clients pay less for the 360 booth and use one team.
- Wide event range. They serve weddings, birthdays, corporate events, quinceañeras, and other celebrations.
- Related services. They offer floral walls, marquee letters, balloon designs, and a mobile bar, which helps if you want one vendor for several items. They give a 10 percent discount when you book the mobile bar with the 360 booth or other rentals.
- Review record. Their Google listing shows a 5.0 rating across 22 reviews, and clients mention professionalism, punctuality, and communication.
What Should I Ask Before I Book?
Use this list when you call:
1. What is my total cost with travel fees?
2. What time will the team arrive for my event?
3. What deposit holds my date, and when is the balance due?
4. What happens if I need to change my date?
5. Does my venue have enough space for a 12 by 12 foot area?
You can reach Sunrise Rentals at (571) 548-1377. I suggest you book four to eight weeks ahead for weekends and busy seasons, since that is the time frame they give for their other rentals.
Your Next Step
Measure your space first. Then choose your hours, ask for a full price, and confirm the setup time. With those four steps done, you will know the booth fits your room and your budget, and your guests will have a fun activity to enjoy.
