Rent a photo booth or use a QR code? Fair comparison of cost, number of photos, quality and experience for your wedding day.

A wedding photo booth runs €600-€900 and sits in one spot. How does it stack up against a QR code on every table? An honest overview.

## What works about a classic photo booth

- Physical photo strip guests take home as a souvenir
- Silly props and backdrops invite wild poses
- A focal point in the room, people gather at the booth
- Works without guests using their own phone
- Staffed booths offer hands-on help with the shot

## Where does a photo booth fall short?

- Cost of €500-€900 for just 4 hours
- 15-30 minute queues during peak moments
- Fixed spot: misses every moment at tables or on the dance floor
- Average 3-4 strips per guest, that's it
- Ceremony and dinner are missed entirely
- Delivery, setup and operator need space and logistics

## How Partylio works differently

- Every table becomes a photo spot, no queues
- Unlimited photos and videos per guest
- Works everywhere in the venue and outdoors
- Captures ceremony, dinner and after party too
- From free, Premium is one-time €19,95
- All media downloadable as one ZIP

## Our recommendation

Combine both for the best result. Use Partylio as the base for unlimited photos and videos everywhere, and add a small polaroid corner for guests who want a physical souvenir. Combined cost: less than a rented photo booth alone.
