Classic Enclosed — The Trusted Classic
The classic is our most popular for weddings and it's not hard to see why. The private curtained cabin creates an intimate space where people feel free to be daft. The result: genuinely candid photos — the belly laughs, the silly faces, the spontaneous hugs — that you simply don't get when there's an audience. The guest book, where guests paste their strip and write a message, is consistently the keepsake couples treasure most.
Choose the Classic if: you want printed keepsakes, a guest book, and that timeless photo booth feel. Best for weddings, milestone birthdays and intimate celebrations.
Retro Vintage — The Elegant One
The retro booth is all about aesthetic. The handcrafted wooden cabinet is a genuine statement piece — many couples position it as part of their décor. The film-strip prints have a nostalgic charm that single prints can't match: four frames that tell a tiny story. It's the favourite for boho and rustic weddings, and it's absolutely gorgeous at hen dos where the group wants keepsakes with a bit of class.
Choose the Retro if: aesthetics matter, you love the film-strip format, or your event has a vintage, rustic or bohemian theme.
Open Air — The Crowd-Pleaser
The open air booth is built for big groups and high energy. No cabin, no curtain, no limit on how many people squeeze in. Custom backdrops let you theme it to your event — branded for corporate, floral for weddings, neon for villa parties. The fact that it's open means it creates a natural gathering point: people watch, cheer, and jump in spontaneously. Throughput is fast — hundreds of guests per hour with no bottlenecks.
Choose the Open Air if: you've got a large guest list, want custom backdrops, or need high throughput at a busy event.
360° Video — The Showstopper
The 360 is the newest format and it's taken over as the most requested booth for Ibiza events. The LED platform, the spinning camera, the slow-motion output — it's a genuine spectacle. The videos are tailor-made for social media: short, dramatic, shareable. For club nights and brand activations, it's the obvious choice. For weddings and parties, it adds a wow factor that traditional booths simply can't match.
Choose the 360 if: you want shareable video content, maximum wow factor, or your event has a modern, high-energy vibe.
Can You Combine Two Booth Types?
Yes — and it's becoming increasingly popular for weddings and full-day events. The most common combination is a retro vintage booth during the cocktail hour (for printed keepsakes and the guest book) and a 360° video booth for the evening party (for social content and spectacle). Two completely different experiences that complement each other perfectly. Ask us about dual-booth pricing when you get in touch.
