Photo Booth Packages Available in Big Rapids, Michigan
Open Air Photo Booth
The most accessible, crowd-friendly booth format and a perennial favorite at Big Rapids gatherings. A professional DSLR camera, studio ring light, and a choice of custom backdrop create stunning portraits for groups of any size — from intimate wedding parties at Mecosta County venues to enormous Ferris State organizational events. It also works beautifully for outdoor summer events.
Mobile Roaming Booth
Large Ferris State events, multi-room campus gatherings, and outdoor summer celebrations call for entertainment that goes where the energy flows. Our mobile roaming attendant moves through your event capturing candid laughs, spontaneous group moments, and genuine fun throughout the entire venue rather than at one stationary station.
360 Video Booth
A guaranteed hit with the Ferris State University demographic and younger professional crowds. Guests step onto the platform, the camera arm sweeps around capturing dramatic slow-motion video, and they walk away with shareable content that lights up Instagram and TikTok. Perfect for campus events, Greek life celebrations, and alumni gatherings.
Mirror Photo Booth
For Big Rapids weddings and upscale corporate events where you want photo entertainment that feels elevated, our full-length interactive mirror guides guests through fun prompts and delivers gorgeous prints in seconds. Its sleek design complements the aesthetic of Mecosta County banquet halls and event venues.
All packages include: delivery, setup, teardown, on-site attendant for your full event, unlimited sessions, unlimited prints, custom overlay design, prop kit, and post-event digital gallery. No hidden fees.
