The GLAM Booth and the Selfie Booth are two of our most-booked booths — and they get confused for each other all the time. Both are open-air, both are digital-friendly, both are crowd-pleasers. But the experience and the photos are very different. Here's how to tell them apart.

The GLAM Booth: soft, flattering, editorial

The GLAM Booth is built around a ring light that wraps faces in even, flattering light and softens every shadow. The signature look is the black-and-white (or color) strip of three or four portraits — clean, editorial, a little bit Vanity Fair. It's the booth you book when you want every guest to look genuinely good on camera.

The Selfie Booth: fast, fun, casual

The Selfie Booth is the modern, easygoing cousin. Open-air and digital-first, it's about quick, playful sessions — guests tap, pose, and get their photos texted to their phone. There's no "performance" to it; people jump in, snap, and share. It's the booth for energy and volume over polish.

One sentence: the GLAM Booth makes people look their best; the Selfie Booth helps people have the most fun.

Lighting is the real difference

If you stripped away everything else, the GLAM Booth's defining feature is its light. That ring light is what creates the soft, shadow-free, magazine-quality portraits. The Selfie Booth uses standard booth lighting — totally fine for fun group shots, but it won't have that sculpted, editorial quality. If flattering portraits matter to you, the GLAM Booth is the answer.

When to choose each

  • Choose GLAM for weddings, galas, milestone birthdays, and any event where the photos are keepsakes people will frame or print.
  • Choose Selfie for corporate parties, brand activations, casual birthdays, and high-energy events where volume and sharing matter more than polish.
  • Can't decide? For a wedding with a younger, phone-first crowd, the Selfie Booth often wins on fun. For an elegant evening, the GLAM Booth wins on look. Many couples book both.

Both booths include instant digital sharing, a custom template, an on-site attendant, and unlimited sessions. The choice really does come down to the vibe you want guests to feel — and the photos you want them to take home.
