Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about booking UniQ51 for your Nassau County event. Still have a question? Call us at 516-315-1282 — we actually pick up.

Can guests post photos straight to social media from the booth?

Yes. Guests can email, text, or QR-scan their photos, GIFs, and 360° videos directly to their phone and post them instantly. It is consistently the feature guests comment on most.

How do guests receive their photos?

Everything is delivered digitally. Guests get their own digital copies by text, email, or QR code right at the booth — in seconds, in full resolution, ready to post or save.

Do we get all of the photos after the event?

Yes. You receive a complete online gallery of every photo, GIF, boomerang, and 360° video from your event, in high resolution, with unlimited downloads for you and your guests.

Will there be an attendant at our event?

Always. A professional UniQ51 team member is on-site for your entire rental — from setup through breakdown — assisting guests, managing the line, and keeping the energy up.

How long does setup take?

Allow about 1 hour for setup and 30–45 minutes for breakdown. Both are included in your package at no extra cost, and we arrive early so the booth is live exactly when you want it.

Is setup time included in the package price?

Yes. Setup and breakdown are free. If you book a 3-hour package, that means 1 hour of setup plus 3 full hours of guest run time — you only pay for run time.

How much space do you need at the venue?

Open-air photo booth: at least 10×10 feet, one standard power outlet, and level ground. Our backdrop stands are 8 feet tall.
360° video booth: at least 14×14 feet, one standard outlet, and level ground.

Can the booth be set up hours before it goes live?

Yes. We can install earlier in the day so the setup looks great from the start and goes live later. Idle time before your run time begins is billed at a small $50/hour idle fee.

Can we use our own backdrop?

Of course. We recommend a non-reflective surface for the best image quality. We also carry a selection of backdrops — sequin, floral, neon, solid, and LED — if you would like us to provide one.

Is there a travel fee?

Travel anywhere in Nassau County is completely free. We are based in Uniondale, right in the center of the county. For events in Suffolk, Queens, or the other boroughs, contact us for a custom quote.

Are you licensed and insured?

Yes. UniQ51 is fully licensed and insured up to $1,000,000. We provide a certificate of insurance naming your venue as additional insured on request, at no charge.

Can we customize the design?

Every booking includes a custom-designed digital overlay featuring your event name, date, monogram, logo, or theme colors. We send you a proof for approval before your event.

What is the difference between the photo booth and the 360° booth?

The open-air photo booth captures still photos, GIFs, and boomerangs — great for groups and high volume. The 360° booth records slow-motion video as an arm rotates around guests standing on a platform. Many clients book both.

How far in advance should we book?

As early as possible. Peak weekends in spring, fall, and December often fill months ahead. A deposit locks in your date.

What deposit is required and what is the cancellation policy?

A retainer secures your date, with the balance due before the event. Retainers are non-refundable but can typically be transferred to a new date if you need to reschedule. Full terms are in your booking agreement.

What types of events do you serve?

All of them — weddings, birthdays, Sweet 16s, quinceañeras, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate events, graduations, holiday parties, proms and school events, baby and bridal showers, communions, anniversaries, and more.

Do you offer props?

Yes, and they are included. We bring a curated prop collection and can tailor it to your theme or age group — or leave props out entirely for a more formal look.

Can you set up outdoors?

Yes, with level ground, access to power, and cover from direct sun or rain. Tents and covered patios work great. We will review your layout with you in advance.

What happens if something goes wrong with the equipment?

Our attendant carries backup components and can resolve nearly anything on-site within minutes. In the rare event of an unrecoverable failure, we refund the affected portion of your rental.

How do we book?

Call 516-315-1282, email info@uniq51photobooth.com, or send the form on our contact page. We will confirm availability, walk you through package options, and send an agreement to lock in your date.
