FAQ
What areas do you serve?
We are based in Louisiana and serve Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and surrounding areas. Travel beyond these locations can be arranged—just ask!
What makes Solara different from other photo booth vendors?
Our booth is built for quality. Unlike many photo booths that rely on webcams or tablets, Solara uses a professional DSLR with a 24-megapixel camera to deliver crisp, vibrant images that look as good as traditional photography. Paired with professional lighting, custom backdrops, and sleek design, our setup creates a premium experience your guests will love. We focus on blending high-end technology with a warm, personalized touch — so every photo feels like a keepsake, not just a snapshot.
Do I need to provide wifi for the photo booth?
Wifi is always best, but it is not necessary in order to book. Wifi allows your guests to download and share their digital images immediately. If Wifi is not available, your guests will receive their digital images the moment we connect to a secure connection, or as soon as we return to our home office. Our Photo booths and printers do not require Wifi to operate.
How much space do I need for setting up the photo booth?
While we can make smaller areas work, we recommend a 10x10 foot space for the comfort of your guests and our team. We can discuss other options if needed.
Do you charge extra for set up and take down?
No, setup and break down are always included in your rental. Our team will arrive 60 minutes before your event starts to ensure everything is ready to go on time, and we’ll handle the clean-up once your event is over.
Can the photo booth be customized?
Absolutely! We can style the booth to match your event theme with custom backdrops, templates, and even branded photo overlays.
Do you create custom backdrops?
Yes! We can design a backdrop to perfectly complement your event. Pricing depends on the level of detail and materials used.
Do you require a deposit?
Yes, we require a 20% non-fundable deposit at booking to reserve your date. The remaining balance is due prior to the event.
Do you provide props? Can we bring our own?
Yes, we provide a curated set of fun, stylish props for your guests. You’re also welcome to bring your own if you want to add a personal touch.
Is someone from Solara on-site during the event?
Yes! A friendly Solara team member will be there to manage the booth, assist guests, and make sure everything runs smoothly.
What happens if something goes wrong with the booth during the event?
We always bring backup equipment and our team is trained to troubleshoot quickly. If an issue comes up, we’ll do everything we can to keep your event running smoothly.
Can we extend our rental time if the party is still going?
Yes! You’re welcome to extend your rental time if the celebration is still going strong. Additional hours are $120 per hour when booked in advance. If you decide to extend during the event itself, there is an additional $50 convenience fee on top of the hourly rate. Just let our attendant know, and we’ll keep the booth running so the fun never stops.
