Belongs at your party

Not a box in the corner. The booth stands in a scene from our collection, or in front of the one your decor team builds around the theme: a 50th, a gala, a holiday party.

Our crew dresses like your guests: cocktail attire, black tie, or a costume if it’s that kind of party. Fun, charismatic people who fit your vibe and look like they belong.

People love their Portrait Booth

  • “As an event professional in the Detroit area, I wholeheartedly recommend Mammoth for any photo booth needs. We’ve partnered with Mammoth for dozens of events, and I recently used them for a personal family celebration as well. Their professionalism, ease of working together, and the quality of the photos are unmatched. It was truly the hit of the party.”

    Julie Glenn · Party

  • “Highly recommend Mammoth Party, the team was top notch from booking through after the party. Everyone talked about what a great addition the booth was to my son's party, and to the last person, told me how cool it was to have the pictures right away! The pictures were also delivered electronically! Thanks for a fantastic addition to our party!”

    Samuel Walsh · Party

  • “Our photo booth was a hit at my dad's 70th party! Everyone wanted a pic with the man of the night, and it created a great keepsake for them and for him :) Mammoth was easy to work with, and so responsive, even on the day of the event.”

Common questions

Is there a host, or do guests run it themselves?

Your call, and it’s the difference between the packages.

  • $1,700 puts a host on the floor who works the line and poses every group.
  • $1,200 is the same booth for the same hours with no host. Guests run it from a tap-to-start screen.
  • Self-serve leaves the booth to your guests, and people let loose more when nobody is standing there watching.

Can we do this at a house party?

Yes, and self-serve is what makes it work.

  • The package is 3 hours, in the living room or the backyard.
  • Guests run it themselves.
  • We come back at the end of the night to pack it up, or pick it up the next morning.

Does it work for a formal gala?

Yes. The booth dresses up: a velvet or custom scene, a sponsor lockup on the overlay, and a crew in black tie. Same photos, formal room.

How much space do you need?

About ten feet by ten feet, with at least eight feet of ceiling height, near the action but not in it. We send a floorplan ahead of time.

How does travel billing work?

Travel is quoted up front, on every quote. Metro Detroit and Ann Arbor have no travel fee. Further out, we show you the drive, the fuel and any hotel night before you sign.

Do you carry liability insurance?

Yes. Mammoth carries $2M per occurrence and $4M aggregate in commercial general liability, plus equipment coverage. We send a certificate of insurance with your venue’s certificate holder and additional insured wording the same day you ask.

What if we run long?

The first 30 minutes are free. After that it is $200 an hour digital only, or $300 an hour with printing, and only if your host can stay.
