The Ultimate Interactive Experience in Illinois
A mirror photo booth rental (Magic Mirror) is a full-length interactive touch-screen mirror that captures high-resolution DSLR photos. Unlike traditional booths, it offers voice guidance, custom animations, and on-glass signature features. It is the premier choice for weddings, formal galas, and corporate brand activations across Illinois.

What is a Magic Mirror Photo Booth?
A magic mirror photo booth rental is a sophisticated open-air booth disguised as a luxury mirror. Guests interact with the glass surface, which displays colorful animations and prompts them to strike a pose. Hidden behind the two-way glass is a professional DSLR camera and studio-grade flash, ensuring lab-quality prints in under 15 seconds.
Why choose a Mirror Booth over a 360 Booth?
While the 360 booth is perfect for high-motion video, the Magic Mirror is superior for:
- Full-Length Photos: Perfect for “outfit checks” at weddings and formal events.
- Large Group Shots: The open-air design easily fits 10+ people in one frame.
- Physical Keepsakes: It provides instant high-quality prints that guests can take home.
- Interactive Play: Features like “Scream Contests” and digital drawing on the mirror glass.
Elevating Illinois Events: From Naperville to Chicago
At Mae Photo Booth, we’ve provided premium experiences at hundreds of events. We understand the specific needs of local Illinois venues.
Weddings in Naperville & Aurora:
The Mirror Booth acts as a piece of decor. We often see bridal parties use the full-length reflection to capture the detail of their gowns that a standard booth would cut off.
Corporate Events in Chicago:
We offer full brand integration. The mirror’s start screen can feature your company logo, and every print acts as a branded marketing tool.
Graduations in Oswego & Plainfield:
High-energy crowds love the touch-screen games. It’s the top-requested photo booth for graduation parties because it keeps the line moving fast while staying engaging.

Frequently Asked Questions
What space is required for a Mirror Photo Booth?
We recommend a 10′ x 10′ area for the best experience. This accommodates the mirror, the prop table, and the “red carpet” entrance, while leaving enough room for large groups of 8–12 people to stand comfortably in front of the lens.
Is the Mirror Booth suitable for outdoor events?
The Mirror Booth works beautifully outdoors if placed on a level surface under a professional tent. Because it uses a high-tech touch screen and glass, protection from direct sunlight (to avoid glare) and moisture is required to ensure the interactive animations remain visible.
How do guests receive their photos?
Guests receive an instant high-quality print (4×6 or 2×6 strips) within seconds. Additionally, our magic mirror photo booth rental includes a digital sharing station where guests can text or email the photos directly to their smartphones for immediate social sharing
Can the mirror animations be customized?
Yes! We can tailor the mirror’s “voice” and animations to match your event. For a corporate photo booth rental in Chicago, we can use your brand colors. For a wedding in Naperville, we can use romantic, elegant graphics that compliment your theme.
Is an attendant included with the rental?
Every Mae Photo Booth rental includes a professional, friendly attendant. They handle the technical setup, assist guests with props, and ensure the mirror glass is polished throughout the night so every photo is crystal clear.
How does the Mirror Booth compare to a traditional photo booth?
The Mirror Booth is far more interactive and aesthetically pleasing for modern events. Unlike a traditional “box” booth that hides guests away, the Mirror is open-air, allowing the rest of the party to see the fun, which encourages more people to participate
