YWNFI’s Starting Price
YWNFI’s 360 Video Booth starts from $1,500. Format, hours, guest count, and travel determine the final quote. See pricing and request a quote for your date and venue.
This is YWNFI’s published starting price, not a citywide or national market estimate. The written quote establishes the package for your event.
Compare the Service Window
Ask when the booth opens and closes for guests. Specify any pauses during dinner, speeches, or presentations. Record load-in, setup, standby, and breakdown separately so the active service is clear.
A longer package does not automatically offer a better effective rate. Compare the total proposal and the hours you actually want before choosing extra coverage.
Confirm the Deliverables
Ask what video format guests receive, how they access it, and when it becomes available. Discuss branding, overlays, music, and any event-specific requests before booking. Confirm what is included and what requires a separate quote.
A video experience does not automatically include photographic prints or an edited portrait gallery. Those are different outputs offered through other formats.
Review Staffing and Venue Logistics
Ask who operates the equipment, manages the queue, helps guests participate, and handles delivery. Staffing depends on the equipment and event plan; a generic operator count does not establish whether a particular package is appropriate.
Ask for the requirements of the actual equipment being booked: its full operating footprint, clearance, queue, lighting, power, access, and suitable surface. Have the vendor and venue confirm the layout together before booking.
The venue planning guide provides questions to take to your coordinator. Share load-in restrictions, the event program, and any guest accessibility requirements early.
