Photo Booth Business for DJs
One booking, two services. Add a booth to your sets and raise your average gig, without buying a second rig.
One booking, two services. A self-serve booth runs itself on the floor while you work the set, so you raise your average gig without buying a second rig or hiring a second pair of hands. The point is more income per event from the same night you are already working.
Runs while you spin
Self-serve and offline-first, the booth runs unattended while you work the floor. One device, every mode, on gear you already haul.
More per gig
Bundle a booth into your package and add $300–600 to each booking, or sell it standalone, with almost no added cost per event after the flat software.

How to add photo booths to your DJ business, step by step
Four steps to fold a booth into your sets and lift your average booking with almost no added work.
-
01
1. Set up a booth that runs unattended
Install the app on a tablet or PC and pick a spot near the floor. It is self-serve and offline-first, so guests run it themselves while you DJ. One device covers photo, 360, AI face-swap and GlamBot, on gear you already haul to the gig.

2. Bundle it into your package
Add the booth to your standard package as a higher tier instead of selling it separately. Bundling adds 300 to 600 dollars to each booking, and after the flat software there is almost no added cost per event, so the lift is nearly all margin.

3. Brand it and let guests share
Put your DJ name and socials on the start screen, the prints and the share screen. Every guest who plays and posts spreads your name to exactly the people who book DJs, turning the booth into free marketing for your next season.

Frequently asked questions
Can a DJ run a photo booth alone at the same event?
Yes. The booth is self-serve and offline-first, so it runs unattended while you work the floor. Guests start it, take their shots and grab prints or shares on their own. You set it up once near the floor and check it between sets, no second operator needed.
How much more can a DJ earn by adding a photo booth?
Bundling a booth into your package typically adds 300 to 600 dollars per booking, and you can sell it standalone too. After the flat software fee there is almost no added cost per event and no per-guest charge, so most of that extra goes straight to your bottom line.
Do I need new equipment to add a booth to my DJ setup?
No. The whole thing runs from one app on a tablet or PC, on gear you already transport. One device covers photo, 360, AI face-swap and GlamBot, so there is no second rig to buy, haul or store, and setup takes about three minutes on site.
Will a photo booth distract from my DJ set?
No, it runs itself. Guests use it between dances while you keep the floor moving, and the branded prints and shares carry your name home. It is extra revenue on the same booking, not extra work during your set.
