The MAP Social — Premium photo booth rentals in Austin, Texas.

Pricing

Austin Photo Booth Packages

Choose the experience that fits your event: a self-serve iPad selfie station for casual drop-off events, a classic hosted open-air photo booth for polished color photos and prints, or a premium offer with intentional creative upgrades. Every hosted offer includes full setup, teardown, a professional booth host, and our No-Stress Event Guarantee.

We keep the experience cohesive. Instead of turning your event into a random menu of filters and capture modes, we help you choose one visual direction (color photo booth, Glam, AI portraits, or video) so the final gallery feels polished. Want a 360 video booth on a lower tier? Swap the open-air booth on Start the Party or Own the Night for +$300. Want both the Open-Air Photo Booth and the 360 Video Booth at your event? Add The Double Feature and we'll bring the second booth with its own dedicated host for +$500.

Add to any offer

The No-Stress Event Guarantee

Three promises, in writing, on every contract.

The Uptime Promise

If our booth goes down for more than 15 minutes at your event, your entire digital gallery package is free. We bring backup gear to every event.

The Design Promise

You approve every template, overlay, and welcome screen before your event. If you don't love it, we redesign it. Unlimited revisions, no charge.

The On-Time Promise

We're set up and ready 30 minutes before your event starts, or we take $100 off your final invoice. No excuses.

Max 8–10 events per month.

Peak-season Saturdays in Austin (March–November) typically book 60+ days out, so it's worth checking your date early.

Add-On Menu

Make it yours.

Available at any offer. Most add-ons (creative upgrades, backdrops, prints, and corporate features) are quoted with your custom proposal so we can match the right options to your event size, date, and venue. The Double Feature, which adds a second booth with its own dedicated host, is the one upgrade we publish with a fixed price. Premium creative upgrades (Glam, AI portraits, video guestbook, motion sharing, AI backgrounds) are best chosen intentionally so the final gallery feels cohesive instead of mixed.

The Big One

  • The Double Feature: Second Booth + Second Host

    +$500

    Add the other booth to your event with a dedicated second host. The open-air photo booth creates classic keepsakes and prints while the 360 booth creates high-energy video moments. Both run simultaneously, both fully attended.

Premium Creative Upgrades
