Why scripts, not just a calculator

Quoting the event is one problem. What you say to a client locking in a wedding date with a deposit, confirming load-in time at a venue, or raving about the photos afterward is a different one — and every one of those moments matters since you can only book one event per date. The generator above covers the six situations that come up most: no-shows, deposit requests, booking confirmations, quote follow-ups, late payments, and review asks.

Fill in the customer’s name, the job price, and a date, and every template updates live. Copy whichever one matches your tone and send it as-is or tweak it.

Deposit requests

Every date you hold for one client is a date you turn away for everyone else. A deposit at booking protects that lost opportunity and confirms the client is serious about the event going forward.

Booking confirmations

Confirm load-in time, venue contact, and power access a week or two before the event. Venues and timelines are tight on wedding days, and a clear confirmation avoids a stressful setup scramble.

Review requests

Send the review ask alongside the photo gallery delivery, while the event is still fresh and guests are still talking about the booth.

Frequently asked questions

How much deposit should a photo booth business collect?

50% is common, since booking an event date means turning away every other inquiry for that same date. A deposit locks in the booking and compensates you if the client cancels close to the event.

What should a photo booth booking confirmation include?

Confirm the venue address, load-in time, event start and end times, and any power or space requirements. Weddings and events have tight timelines, and a confirmed setup window avoids last-minute scrambling.

When should I ask a photo booth client for a review?

Ask within a day or two of the event, right after you send over the photo gallery — that's when the client and their guests are still talking about how much fun the booth was.
