Photo Booth Rental in Illinois – Weddings, Corporate Events & Celebrations Across Chicagoland
Mae Photo Booth LLC is based in Montgomery, Illinois — at the center of the Fox Valley, minutes from Naperville, Aurora, Oswego, and Plainfield, and a straightforward drive to Chicago. That matters because when you hire us, you’re not managing a vendor traveling from two counties away. You’re working with a team that knows your venues, understands your local event culture, and shows up early because the drive is actually manageable.
We serve weddings, corporate events, graduation parties, quinceañeras, charity galas, birthday celebrations, and community events across the full Chicagoland area — from the Loop to the Fox River corridor, from DuPage County to Will County. Our four booth types — Mirror, 360, Sky 360, and Digital — are professionally staffed, fully customized for your event, and backed by 102 five-star reviews from real Illinois clients.
If you’ve searched for a photo booth rental and found a long list of companies you’ve never heard of, here’s how to tell us apart: we answer within 24 hours, we quote transparently, and we have a review record that’s publicly verifiable on Google. That’s the baseline you should expect from any vendor you’re considering.
Why Illinois Event Planners Choose Mae Photo Booth Over the Rest
We’re Local. Actually Local.
Most photo booth companies serving Illinois are based in Chicago or the North Shore and treat the Fox Valley as a far-flung market. Mae Photo Booth is headquartered in Montgomery — inside your service area, not outside it. That means earlier arrivals, no traffic excuses, and real venue familiarity built from working these spaces regularly.
102 Five-Star Reviews — All Real, All Verified
Our Google Business Profile shows 102 five-star reviews from real Illinois clients across weddings, corporate events, graduations, and celebrations. We don’t pad review counts or ask for reviews in exchange for discounts. Every one of those reviews reflects an event we showed up for and executed well.
Professional Attendants. Every Single Booking.
Every rental — whether it’s a 4-hour wedding reception or a 2-hour graduation party — includes a trained, professionally dressed attendant for the full duration. They manage the booth, guide your guests, keep the queue moving, and handle anything that comes up so you don’t have to think about it.
Custom Everything. Nothing Generic.
Your print overlay, backdrop pairing, GIF template, and prop selection are designed for your specific event — not pulled from a shared template library. Corporate clients get their logo on every output. Wedding clients get a design that matches their invitation suite. The booth feels like it belongs at your event because it was built for it.
Photo Booth Rental for Every Illinois Event Type
Wedding Photo Booth Rental
From intimate Fox Valley ceremonies to large Chicago ballroom receptions — we design every wedding booth setup around your venue, your color palette, and your timeline. The booth is operational before cocktail hour and staffed through the last dance.

Charity galas, nonprofit fundraisers, and community events benefit from the Sky 360 and Mirror booths — both produce shareable content that extends the organization’s reach beyond the event itself.

If you need a booth that handles 200 guests efficiently and leaves everyone with a physical takeaway, this is it.
Best for: Graduation parties • Birthday celebrations • Backyard events • School and community events
Mirror Photo booth Service
A full-length touch-screen mirror that captures DSLR-quality photos with studio-grade lighting. Guests interact with animated prompts on the mirror surface. Perfect for weddings, galas, and formal corporate events where elegance matters as much as entertainment. Fits groups of 10+ people in a single frame.
Best for: Weddings • Corporate galas • Award ceremonies • Formal birthday celebrations
360 Photo booth Service
Guests stand on a platform while a high-definition camera arm rotates around them, capturing a cinematic slow-motion video. The output is instantly shareable — guests text or email the clip to their phones within 60 seconds. This is the booth guests film themselves using and post before they leave the party.
Best for: Wedding receptions • Graduation parties • Quinceañeras • Corporate product launches
Sky 360 Photobooth
The elevated version of the 360 experience — an overhead camera arm captures a bird’s-eye cinematic view with no floor platform. Safer for guests in formal wear or heels, fits 10+ people at once, and produces a dramatic video format that looks unlike anything else at an event. This is the booth that makes the highlight reel.

Each setup is fully customizable with props, overlays, themed backdrops, and branded print designs.
How much does a photo booth rental cost in Illinois?
We don’t publish fixed pricing because every event is different — duration, booth type, customization, and location all affect the final quote. What we do promise: every quote is itemized, transparent, and sent within 24 hours. No price surprises on event day. Contact us with your event details and we’ll build a clear quote around your specific needs.
How far in advance should I book a photo booth rental?
For peak dates — Saturday evenings from May through October, and graduation weekends in late May and June — we recommend booking 6–8 weeks in advance. Popular dates fill early, especially in Illinois event markets. If your date is within 2–3 weeks, contact us directly by phone — we may still have availability and can confirm faster.
Do you provide a photo booth attendant with every rental?
Yes. Every Mae Photo Booth rental includes a professional, trained attendant for the full rental duration — not just setup and teardown. For events under 75 guests in informal settings, we also offer a drop-off service option where we set up the booth, brief your designated point person on operation, and return for breakdown. We recommend which model fits your event during the booking conversation.
What areas of Illinois do you serve?
We serve the full Chicagoland area from our Montgomery, IL base — including surrounding communities across DuPage, Kane, Will, and Kendall counties. If your venue is not listed, contact us with your location — we serve a wide radius and won’t turn down an event without checking logistics first.
Can you customize the photo booth prints and GIFs with our event branding?
Yes — custom print overlays, animated GIF templates, and branded digital experiences are standard for every booking. Corporate clients receive logo integration, brand color matching, and event-specific template design. Wedding clients receive a design matched to their invitation suite or color palette. You receive a proof for approval before the event.
What is the difference between the 360 booth and the Sky 360 booth?
The 360 booth uses a rotating arm at ground level with guests standing on a platform — ideal for high-energy events and groups of 2–4 people. The Sky 360 uses an overhead arm, eliminating the platform entirely — guests stand on the floor while the camera captures from above. The Sky 360 accommodates larger groups, is safer for guests in formal wear, and produces a more cinematic bird’s-eye video format. It’s our premium option.
What photo booth is best for a wedding in Illinois?
For weddings, our Mirror Photo Booth is consistently the most-requested option — the full-length format is elegant, fits bridal parties comfortably, and produces high-quality prints that guests take home. The Sky 360 is the upgrade for couples who want a dramatic, shareable video moment. We discuss your venue’s spatial constraints and aesthetic during the quote call and recommend accordingly.
