Photo Booth Hire
I am a DJ and I needed a photobooth vendor for a prom. I hired Joel and he brought his mobile photo booth ring. It was awesome and he was great to work with. I will definitely be calling him again. Thanks! More...

Joel and his team did a wonderful job at our daughter's Bat Mitzvah party. We had seen them at a few other parties and always liked their friendly staff at the Photo Booth and quality of the photos. We were very happy with their work and will definitely use them again! More...

My husband and I hired Joel for our October 2023 wedding with 144 guests, and we could not have been more pleased to have found Joel. We actually had another photobooth vendor cancel unexpectedly a week before our wedding, and we were beginning to panic but then we got in touch with Joel, who ended being a blessing in disguise. Joel was quick, responsive, creative, and very transparent with his prices, which we greatly appreciated (ex: no hidden additional costs). Our absolute favorite thing about working with Joel was the photo album that we got filled with photos from the photobooth - Joel helped to make sure that all our guests' photos were included along with sweet messages written next to the photos. Joel had great energy the whole night, and a lot of our guests mentioned how nice and friendly he was. Another nice feature of the photobooth that Joel uses is it swivels to adjust for the height of each guest. There were multiple props for our guests, and there are also many template designs to choose from to match your wedding theme. Additionally, Joel also prints out as many copies for each person in the photos - some vendors we spoke to only printed 2 copies, even if there are more than 2 people in the photos. We would 100% recommend Joel to any couple planning a wedding and look forward to having him potentially at future non-wedding events. Thanks for everything, Joel!! More...

Joel was great to work with. Very communicative and he delivered on everything he promised. He made sure to follow up a few weeks before the event to confirm our choices and was there early on the day of the event to set up. Our guests had a blast with the Photo Booth (especially the kiddos) and the booth attendant was very patient in adjusting the height of the camera each time. Best of all, not only did our guests get to take a copy of their photos home, my parents have a keepsake scrapbook of all the prints and special comments. Plus, Joel will send you a link to all of the photos so that your guests can relive the event afterwards and see everyone's photos! More...

Joel was a plausre to work with. He was communicative and professional. All communications before the event were clear and timely. He showed up on time and set up beautifully for our event and the guests thoroughly enjoyed the photobooth. He brought fun props, had a bunch of backgrounds to choose from (before the event) and during the event he intereracted with the guests and helped them to have a good time and feel comfortable and fun taking the pictures. I would definitely hire Joel again to do another event for us. Thank you! ​ More...

We hired Joel for our wedding in Mar 2023. Our whole experience with him was amazing!Joel is timely, thoughtful, quick to respond, and creative! His set up is so fun with many props. He customized our photo strips with our names and a design. He was so kind and helpful with our guests as well. He ensured our photo scrapbook was well put together with adorable stickers and markers. He ensured any photos my now HUSBAND (wooo) and I took were put into the front page. He's very thoughtful and ensured everything was covered. We absolutely loved having him and would hire him again for any future event / recommend him to our family and friends. Thank you again Joel!

My now husband and I hired Joel's Photobooth business for 100 guests at our wedding that took place on 11/12/2022. Price is affordable for a 3-hour rental. We sent half our deposit the first time we hired him and gave the remaining amount the week of our wedding. Joel gave us an opportunity of choosing our template for the Photobooth and I'm so glad we went with our choice! Joel came on time at the venue to set up the booth before the ceremony began. He was friendly to all our guests and assisted them on how to use the Photobooth with ease. Everyone loved the props they used and kept coming back for more photos throughout the evening. He even emailed us a few days later to inform us that all photos are ready to be downloaded using his link. I was able to send the link to all our guests who have been posting them on their socials. I would highly recommend hiring Joel for your future special events! More...

We recently hired Joel for a 6th grade promotion party. Joel was very professional and efficient. He had so many prop options that the kids loved. He kept the line moving, even though we had a lot of kids there. The photo booth was the highlight of the party and the pictures,with their custom photo frame with our school logo that Joel made, were such a special keepsake. Can't recommend him enough, can't go wrong with Joel (Push2Start)! More...
