NYC Pride Photo Booth Rentals from a Queer Business Owner in the East Village

Hey there, I'm Ben. I run Rent My Booth, a photo booth company based right here in the East Village. I've done over 150 events across NYC, from tech offsites and weddings to 50th birthdays and nonprofit galas. This year, I want to work with more LGBTQ+ events during Pride Month.

I'm gay. I live here. I know the vibe. And I want to be part of your celebration.

Whether you're throwing a corporate Pride event, a drag show at a bar, a fundraiser, or a backyard party, I bring the kind of setup that actually feels like part of the experience. I don't drop off a booth and walk away. I stay the whole time, hype the crowd, adjust the lighting, and make sure people walk away with photos they're excited about.

What You Get When You Book

Here's what's included in every photo booth rental:

  • Flattering, high-quality photos with great lighting
  • Unlimited prints and instant digital sharing
  • A custom Pride-themed print design (we can match your brand or go full rainbow)
  • Props that are actually fun and cute
  • Behind-the-scenes photos while guests mingle or wait their turn
  • Me, hosting the booth in person, keeping the energy up and making sure people feel good

Pricing for NYC Pride Events

Most Pride Month packages range from $699 to $1500. It depends on your guest count, location, and how custom you want to go. I'm upfront about pricing and I don't charge random travel fees or add-ons later. You tell me what you need, and I'll send you a clear quote.

Perfect For:

Corporate Pride Events
Give your team more than a rainbow logo. I'll help you create a fun, inclusive setup that people will actually talk about the next day.

Bar Nights and Drag Shows
Whether it's a Pride weekend dance party or a Thursday night at your neighborhood bar, I'll bring a setup that fits the space and gets the party started!

Fundraisers and Community Events
I've worked with mission-driven orgs across the city. If you're planning something meaningful, I'd be honored to support it and bring a little joy to the room.
