First time using this company and certainly won't be the last. The photo booth hire was exactly what our school prom needed and went down amazingly well with the students and staff alike. Communication was excellent beforehand, even touching base in the weeks leading up to to check everything was still good to go. On the evening itself, they arrived on time, set up with no hassle and were superb with the staff and students for the entire duration. Everything was provided with such a variety of fun props and everyone left with a beaming smile on their faces. Cannot recommend these enough and will be more than happy to spread the word.

I loved that the frames of the photos and the guest book were made to match the invitations to my party. The props were funny. The booth kept everyone entertained and was a good laugh. Everything was set up in good time, the lad was punctual and friendly. He did well to put up with my lively bunch of friends!
Would absolutely use again.

Photo booth was great value for money. They turned up on time and set up very quickly with no input needed from us. We got a photo album with printouts from the booth and a USB of all pictures taken throughout the night. Only comment would be that it would be good if guests were encouraged to leave a note in the book as well. Other than that, perfect.

We hired the magic mirror selfie booth for our wedding reception. Everyone loved it and got involved. They were great at printing the pictures and putting them into a guestbook we provided ourselves. Props were a lot of fun. It was great, thanks
We delivered next level parties for exceptional companies
We also did more than 40,000 birthday parties. Probably, including your neighbour’s recent big bash.

Hiring a Photo Booth in Edinburgh: Your Complete Buyer’s Guide
Planning an event in Edinburgh often feels like stepping into a storybook. Historic streets, elegant architecture, dramatic hillsides in the distance. It’s no wonder so many hosts want their celebration to feel just as iconic. And that’s exactly where a great photo booth comes in. It’s fun, it’s interactive, and it captures the personality of your party in a way formal photography simply can’t.
In this guide, we walk you through everything you need to know about hiring a photo booth in Edinburgh. Whether you’re hosting a wedding in a grand Georgian hall, a corporate mixer in an atmospheric heritage venue, or a birthday party set under a summer marquee in the Lothians, we’ll help you choose the right booth and get the most out of it. We keep it friendly, expert-level, and genuinely useful, so you can feel confident from the moment you begin planning.
Why Photo Booths Work So Well at Edinburgh Events
Photo booths add an effortless charm to any celebration. Guests love them because they’re low-pressure, playful, and instantly gratifying. Hosts love them because they double as entertainment and a take-home gift. In Edinburgh, where venues range from stately castles to garden marquees, a photo booth fits right in. It breaks the ice, encourages guests to mingle, and gives your celebration a splash of personality without taking over the room.
What really makes a booth shine here is the flexibility. Want a heritage look with tartan accents for a wedding? You can do that. Prefer something more experimental for a modern birthday party? No problem. Even corporate networking events benefit from a booth that encourages people to relax, chat, and leave with something fun to remember the evening by.
The Types of Events That Benefit Most
Edinburgh’s event landscape is incredibly varied, but a few gatherings in particular see huge success with photo booths.
- Weddings and evening receptions where guests want something fun between speeches, dancing, and drinks.
- Birthday parties that need an activity which suits all ages and doesn’t rely on the weather.
- Corporate networking mixers where relaxed conversation starters are essential for encouraging people to connect.
- Outdoor summer gatherings in the Lothians, especially marquee celebrations where a booth adds structure and entertainment to the open-air setting.
Each of these events benefits from the same core traits: the booth creates quick interactions, helps groups bond, and provides instant keepsakes.
The Best Edinburgh Venues for Photo Booths
One of the joys of planning in Edinburgh is the sheer range of backdrops available. You can match your booth with the space to create a seamless experience.
- Stately castles or manor houses, where a booth can offer a more light-hearted contrast to the formal surroundings.
- Georgian town-halls that pair wonderfully with a classic or heritage-inspired booth setup.
- Garden marquees tucked into the Lothians, ideal for a rustic, picnic-style event where guests can pop in and out between activities.
- Modern loft-style venues, perfect if you’re aiming for something more contemporary and playful.
A photo booth doesn't dominate the space, which makes it suitable for almost any layout. You only need a small footprint and access to a plug socket, and you’re ready to go.
Choosing the Right Theme for Edinburgh Celebrations
Your theme helps your booth feel intentional rather than just placed in the corner. We often guide clients through themes that complement Edinburgh’s distinctive style.
Heritage-elegant
This is a favourite for weddings. Think tartan touches, rich colours, and a backdrop that nods to Scotland’s past without being overly theatrical. It suits the regal atmosphere of many local venues.
Castle-drama
Perfect for grand receptions or milestone birthdays. Darker tones, dramatic textures, and props inspired by historic settings help create a booth that feels bold and immersive.
Outdoor summer picnic
This is brilliant for events hosted in the Lothians. Light colours, floral accents, soft lighting, and easy-going props keep things relaxed. Ideal for marquee weddings and private garden parties.
Themes don't have to be extravagant. Even simple styling or a clever prop selection can transform how your booth is perceived.
Understanding Prices for Photo Booth Hire in Edinburgh
The average cost for a high-quality photo booth in Edinburgh typically sits between £250 and £350. The exact price depends on the length of hire, type of booth, printed or digital extras, and travel for more rural venues.
Most packages include delivery, setup, unlimited sessions, props, and a digital gallery. Some suppliers also offer guestbooks or branded prints. On Poptop, everything is shown upfront so you don’t have to chase quotes or worry about hidden fees.
What to Look for in a Quality Photo Booth Service
When we recommend a booth to clients, we usually prioritise a few key features.
- Instant prints that look professional and last.
- A great range of props that suit your theme.
- A friendly attendant who keeps the energy up and helps things run smoothly.
- Digital copies of every photo, so nothing gets lost.
- Quick setup and minimal disruption to your event.
If you’re hosting outdoors, ask about weather protection and lighting. For indoor venues with strict historic restrictions, make sure the booth setup is gentle on walls and flooring.

Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Booth
Here are a few simple tricks that elevate the whole experience.
- Place the booth in a high-traffic area at the start, then let it naturally draw guests in as the evening unfolds.
- Ask the supplier for props that match your colour palette or theme so everything feels cohesive.
- If you’re creating a guestbook, make sure there’s a well-lit table and a couple of pens ready to go.
- Encourage guests to return multiple times. The best photo strips usually happen after they’ve loosened up.
- For corporate events, consider branded digital frames for a polished, professional result.

It’s an experience that brings people together, captures the atmosphere of your event, and leaves guests with a personal memento they genuinely treasure.
