Why Instapic in Edinburgh?

A photo booth backed by
real venue knowledge.

Plenty of companies can deliver a booth. The useful bit is knowing how that booth fits into the venue, the room and the rest of your event.

Instapic has worked across a large network of Edinburgh and Lothians venues, so when we already know the room we can start with genuine first-hand experience rather than generic assumptions.

For venues we have not visited yet, send the venue and event details and we plan around access, position and the rest of the setup before the booking is finalised.

What you are booking

Designed for the photographs people actually want to keep.

The booth is built around a straightforward idea: flattering photographs, instant prints and an experience guests want to come back to during the night.

  • Studio-quality event photography and lighting
  • Instant printed keepsakes for guests
  • Personalised print design
  • Props and a managed guest experience
  • Professional delivery, installation and collection
  • Planning that can account for your venue and other Instapic services

Edinburgh photo booth FAQs

The useful questions
before you book.

Prices and practical service facts come from the same source as Build Your Event, while these local answers add Edinburgh and venue context.

Do you provide photo booth hire in Edinburgh and the Lothians?

Yes. Instapic provides photo booth hire across Edinburgh and the wider Lothians, including city venues, hotels, castles, country houses and purpose-built wedding venues.

Can you tell me whether a photo booth will suit my venue?

Yes. If Instapic has worked at your venue before, we can use our existing venue history to help with the first recommendation. If it is a new venue for us, send the venue details and we will plan the setup around the available space and access.

Can a photo booth be booked with other Instapic services?

Yes. A photo booth can be planned alongside our Magic Mirror, LED dance floors, light-up letters and numbers, flower walls and floral arches so the room feels like one joined-up event rather than separate hires.

Are the photographs on this page from real Instapic events?

Yes. We use genuine Instapic event photography and only connect venue-specific setup claims to places where we have verified first-hand history.

How do I check availability for an Edinburgh event?

Use the event builder with your date, venue and the services you are considering. It creates one clear enquiry so we can check availability and recommend the most practical setup for the room.

How much is Instapic Photo Booth hire?

Current guide prices are £269 for 2 hours, £299 for 3 hours, £349 for 4 hours and £399 for 5 hours. Your final quote is confirmed for the date, venue, access and any wider package.

What size is the Photo Booth?

The booth itself measures approximately 2.4m long × 1.8m wide × 2.2m high. Extra clear space is needed for the printer, attendant, props, entrance and guest queue.

What power does the Photo Booth need?

A suitable mains power point is required within 10 metres of the booth. We confirm the final position with the venue before setup.

How long does the Photo Booth take to set up?

A normal planning allowance is around 30–45 minutes before the booked start time, although difficult access or a larger combined Instapic setup can require a different access window.

Are prints included?

Yes. The current standard experience includes unlimited single-print sessions during the booked hire period, along with a personalised template, props and an attendant.

Are digital copies supplied?

Instapic uses a post-event client gallery for event photographs. Gallery access and download options can vary by event package, so the final arrangement is confirmed with the booking contact.

How many people fit in the booth?

Small groups can use the booth together, but Instapic does not promise a fixed headcount because adults, children, mobility needs and comfort vary. For very large group photographs, the open-format Magic Mirror is usually the easier option.

Can the print design be personalised?

Yes. A personalised photo template is included in the current standard Photo Booth experience.

Is the Photo Booth staffed?

Yes. A friendly Instapic attendant is included for the booked hire period.

Can the Photo Booth be used outdoors?

Outdoor use must be agreed in advance. The equipment needs a safe, dry, level and weather-protected position with suitable power.
