Who is Grin + Bear Booth?

Grin + Bear Booth is a wedding Photo Booth company based in Chicago. We service the Chicagoland area along with parts of Wisconsin and Indiana. We do take nationwide events every once in awhile, along with non-wedding events! We are wedding focused but our booths work for any occasion or event type.

What are the difference between Social Booth & Studio Booth?

Social Booth is our full event drop-off Photo Booth. Serving digital photos only, Social Booth is available for the duration of your event and is a standalone booth with no attendant present (attendant can be added if desired).

Studio Booth is our print Photo Booth. Serving prints + digital sharing, Studio Booth is an hourly package (typically around 3 hours) and includes an attendant to run the experience.

How far out from my event should I book?

Our schedule fills up quick! While we can cater to events on short notice, we typically recommend booking between 8-12+ months out from your event to guarantee the most flexibility with logistics, booth availability, etc. For more information, read our blog post “When Is the Best Time to Book a Wedding Photo Booth?”

What does the process look like?

Once we book your date, our team will connect with you to choose any design elements + backdrops. We finalize logistics approximately 2-4 weeks prior to the event. Our team arrives onsite, the experience happens, and afterwards you receive a photo gallery with all photos from the event that you can share or download! We pride ourselves with the fact we are one of the easiest vendors to work with!
