Photo Booth Hire in Edinburgh
Photo booths for corporate events, freshers fairs, and brand activations in Edinburgh. Social media booths, magic mirrors, AI booths, and 360 video. Delivered and staffed by DB Entertainment.
DB Entertainment carries five photo booths, all available for hire in Edinburgh from £495. Every booth uploads photos to social media or prints them on the spot, and most come with a trained staff member to run the session. AI effects, 360-degree video, instant prints, branded overlays. All five booths can carry your branding. We deliver from our 25,000 sq ft warehouse in Rotherham in our own vehicles and set everything up for you. Your booth arrives in one of our own vehicles with our own crew, not a subcontracted courier. Our £5 million public liability insurance includes indemnity to principal cover, meaning it extends to you as the hiring client.

Photo Booth Hire for Edinburgh Events
Rotherham to Edinburgh is about 3 hours via the A1(M), a straightforward run north with direct A1 access from our warehouse. We deliver to venues across Edinburgh and the Lothians regularly, and for larger packages or multi-day hires we deliver the day before and collect the day after.
Edinburgh is Scotland's conference and events capital. The Edinburgh International Conference Centre (EICC) on Morrison Street hosts corporate conferences and awards ceremonies year-round. The Royal Highland Centre at Ingliston runs trade shows and large exhibitions. Across the city, hotels and event spaces in the New Town, Old Town, George Street, and Leith host corporate dinners, team building days, and private parties. We've delivered to venues across all of these areas.
For exhibitions at the Royal Highland Centre or conferences at the EICC, a branded photo booth turns every guest interaction into shareable content. Our social media booth uploads branded photos directly to guests' accounts from the booth itself. Other venues we deliver to include St James Quarter, McEwan Hall, and Dynamic Earth.
Edinburgh's universities (University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier University, and Heriot-Watt University) run freshers fairs and student events each autumn. The social media booth and AI booth handle high footfall well, processing around 40 groups per hour, which suits the steady stream of students at a freshers fair.

AI Photo Booth Hire in Edinburgh
The AI Photo Booth photographs your guests (individually or as a group), then uses generative AI to build a completely new image placing them in any scene you describe. For conferences at the EICC, that could mean every delegate gets an AI portrait in a scene featuring your sponsor branding. For exhibitions at the Royal Highland Centre, visitors get placed in a custom branded environment and share it on social media from the show floor.
There are 180+ preset templates to choose from (corporate, Christmas, fantasy, artistic), or we create custom scenes to match your event. Each AI image is genuinely generated from scratch, not a filter. Two people who pick the same template get two completely different photos.
For freshers fairs at the University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh Napier, or Heriot-Watt, the novelty keeps students queuing. They try astronaut, then come back for superhero, then zombie. Every photo gets shared. From £595 including delivery and setup.
Branding Your Photo Booth
All five booths can carry your branding. Options and prices:
- Pod front panel (social media / AI booth): £95
- Pod front and back (social media / AI booth): £135
- Mirror side panels: £125+VAT
- 360 base panel: £95

Send us your artwork and our in-house team handles production. For conferences at the EICC or exhibitions at the Royal Highland Centre, branded prints and panels mean every photo taken at your stand carries your logo out of the venue and onto social media.
