Photo booth rental in Allen, Texas

Hotel ballrooms, school fundraisers and family parties: unlimited prints, an attendant and an online gallery, delivered to Allen for about $50.

From $650 for 3 hours, delivery to Allen about $50

Photo booth dates open December 1.

Delivery to Allen: about $50

Allen is about 29 road miles from our Irving base, which is just inside the 30 miles our flat fee covers, so booth-only delivery is about $50. A venue on the far north side of the city can tip past 30 miles, and each mile over adds $1.50, so treat this figure as a planning number and read the exact total on the booking page before you pay.

Allen sits in southwestern Collin County, about 23 miles north of downtown Dallas, and borders Plano to the south and McKinney to the north. An Allen booking costs about the same to serve as a Plano one, and less than a McKinney one. The booth makes the trip in a passenger car with one attendant and a 49 pound case.

Booth-only delivery is $50 within 30 miles of Dallas, then $1.50 a mile after that.

Venues in Allen we plan around

These venues are named because they are real event places in Allen, not because we have an agreement with any of them. Check each venue's own vendor rules, and send us the coordinator's name so we can ask the load-in questions.

  • Marriott Dallas Allen Hotel and Convention Center. A hotel and convention center at Watters Creek with an outdoor pond and patio listed for ceremonies and a very large exhibit hall. The ballroom and the exhibit hall are indoor, flat-floor setups, and the patio needs a covered corner for the booth.
  • Credit Union of Texas Event Center. The city-owned arena once called Allen Event Center, with about 7,500 seats. Arena events run on the venue's own production rules, so we need the production contact before the date and a load-in time through its own entrance.
  • Radha Krishna Temple Allen. A temple that doubles as an Indian wedding banquet hall with all-inclusive vegetarian catering. Send the hall manager's name and we ask where a booth may sit away from the dining area.
  • Italian Villa Allen. A restaurant with a banquet room that holds a maximum of about 130 guests. A room this size suits a single booth in a corner, and the outlet is usually the limiting factor.

What Allen events look like

Allen is a family and school city. Allen ISD had more than 20,000 students in 2025 and 2026, Allen High School plays at the roughly 18,000 seat Eagle Stadium, and a Collin College technical campus opened in west Allen in 2020. Booster clubs, PTA groups, graduation parties and after-prom events book a booth for a gym, a cafeteria or a clubhouse, where the setup is easy and the line is long. Tell us the headcount and we say whether one booth keeps up or whether the 4 hour window is the better choice.

The hotel and convention center at Watters Creek is the second source of Allen events. The convention center there is listed at 79,000 square feet and operates with the Marriott, so company meetings, association dinners and large receptions book it through the year. For those, the corporate booth from $1,200 adds a branded print template and a gallery with your logo, quoted to the event.

South Asian celebrations are the third thread. Allen has a temple that doubles as an Indian wedding banquet hall with its own vegetarian catering, used for weddings and ceremonies. Those days start early and run long, so tell us the hour of the first guests and we plan the arrival around it.

In late June the city holds the Allen USA Celebration, a summer festival that is usually on the last Saturday of the month. We do not run it and are not affiliated with it, but a family or a business holding a private gathering that weekend can book the booth like any other Saturday.

Setup notes for Allen venues

A hotel or a convention center will want a load-in time and often a certificate of insurance, and a school wants an approved vendor form from the principal's office or the booster club. Send us the contact and we ask for the dock hours, the entrance and the outlet location in the same message.

The footprint is a corner for the booth, the backdrop and a short line, with one standard 120V outlet within 25 feet. In a school gym the outlets are often at the far wall, so we bring a heavy-duty extension cord and tape it flat.

We do not run the booth in open rain, direct sun or direct wind. A patio at Watters Creek or a school courtyard needs a tent or a covered section with a flat floor, and an evening window is easier than a summer afternoon.

How far ahead to book the photo booth

Book as soon as your date and venue are fixed. Photo booth dates open December 1, 2026 (12 / 01 / 2026), and the booth is booked through November 30. The booking flow sets no minimum notice. Booking fewer than 3 days before the event adds a 50% short-notice fee (100and inside 14 days the full total is due when you book.

How many hours of photo booth do you need

Pick the window your guests will actually be in the room. Three hours ($650) fits a cocktail hour and dinner or a shorter party. Four hours ($750) fits most of a reception. An extra hour is $100, so 4 hours costs the same as 3 plus 1 extra hour. Setup and teardown happen outside your window.

  • 3 hours, $650: a cocktail hour plus dinner, a birthday, a school or community event, or a short company party.
  • 4 hours, $750: most of a wedding reception, a sangeet or a long evening party. It is $100 more than 3 hours.
  • Extra hours, $100 each: $650 for 3 hours plus 1 extra hour is the same $750 as the 4 hour package, so if you think you will want the fourth hour, book 4.
  • Your window is the time guests can use the booth. Setup and teardown happen outside it, so you do not spend booth hours on them.
  • A late finish can add an after-hours charge, which the booking page shows in your total before you pay.

Photo booth questions in Allen, answered

Is Allen inside the $50 photo booth delivery zone?

Yes, just barely. Allen is about 29 road miles from our Irving base, inside the 30 miles our flat fee covers, so booth-only delivery is about $50. A venue on the far north side can pass 30 miles, and each mile over adds $1.50, so the booking page prices the exact route before you pay.

Can you run a photo booth at an Allen school fundraiser or after-prom party?

Yes. School events book the booth for a gym or a cafeteria, and the 4 hour window spreads a long line. We need the school's vendor form and the contact for load-in, and the booth is a car load, so the setup takes little space. Tell us the guest count and we say whether one booth keeps up.

How much does a photo booth rental in Allen cost?

The Rickshaw Affair rents an open-air photo booth in Allen for $650 for 3 hours or $750 for 4 hours, with unlimited 2x6 prints, an attendant, props and an online gallery included. Extra hours are $100. Delivery to Allen is about $50. Corporate booths with branded prints start at $1,200.

What is included in the photo booth rental?

Every booth rental includes the open-air booth with a backdrop, unlimited 2x6 prints for the whole window, a prop set, an online gallery shared by text or QR code, and 1 attendant who stays for the entire event. Setup and teardown happen outside your booked hours, so you get the full window.

When does the booth arrive at my Allen venue?

Before your window opens. Setup happens outside your booked hours, so a 4 hour booking is 4 hours of guests using the booth. We set the arrival time with you when we confirm the date, ask the venue for its load-in rules, and the contract treats arrival within 30 minutes of the agreed time as on schedule.

How far ahead do I need to book the photo booth?

Book as soon as your date and venue are fixed. Photo booth dates open December 1, 2026 (12 / 01 / 2026), and the booth is booked through November 30. The booking flow sets no minimum notice. Booking fewer than 3 days before the event adds a 50% short-notice fee (100and inside 14 days the full total is due when you book.
