Photo Booth Rental at the Rusty Pelican.

The Rusty Pelican sits on the Rickenbacker with the Miami skyline across the water, which is the single reason most people book it. Waterfront means wind, and wind matters more than people expect.

Which booth suits this room

What we would bring to the Rusty Pelican.

In an exposed waterfront spot the Social booth wins, because there is no paper to lose and it sends every photo straight to guests. Indoors or in a sheltered position the Classic booth with unlimited prints is the better call.

Instant 2×6 strips and 4×6 prints, unlimited reprints, and a digital copy of everything.

Print-free and share-first. Photos, boomerangs and GIFs sent straight to every guest phone.

A slow-motion video orbit that reliably draws the longest line at any event.

The room

What to know before you book the Rusty Pelican.

The view is the venue. Event space here faces the water, and the skyline behind the booth is a better backdrop than anything we could print, so we would usually position to keep it in shot.

The catch is wind off the bay. Prints blow away and lightweight backdrops move. An exposed waterfront position changes which booth we would bring and how we weight it.

How we plan a booth for this venue.

We are not affiliated with the Rusty Pelican. We just bring the booth, and we call the venue before you have to.

Space. We reserve a 10ft by 10ft area for a full setup. The Social booth needs less. Power. One standard outlet for the Classic and Social booths, none at all for the 360. Access. We arrive 60 minutes before doors, and setup and teardown are never billed or deducted from your hours. Paperwork. A certificate of insurance naming the venue, issued within 48 hours of the request, at no charge.

The Motion Guarantee

Four promises. In writing.

We checked fifteen photo booth companies across South Florida before we wrote these. Not one of them publishes a single guarantee. Here are ours.

01

On Time, or It Is Free

We arrive 60 minutes before doors, set up, and run a full test session before your first guest sees the room. If the booth is not built and tested when doors open, you do not pay for it.

02

Gallery in 24 Hours, or 15% Back

Every photo, video and GIF from your event, uploaded and ready to download, inside 24 hours. Not next week. If we miss it, we give you 15% of your money back.

03

Never a First-Timer

Every booth is run by an attendant who has already worked at least 50 events. You get their name and cell number 72 hours out, and they stay with the booth all night. If they do not meet your expectations, we give you 15% of your money back.

04

Unlimited Everything

Unlimited sessions, unlimited prints, unlimited reprints, unlimited downloads. No per-photo charges, no session caps, no upsell at the booth.

We hosted a charity walkathon and utilized the 360 photo booth. What a great experience. The owner was not only professional but engaging with the attendees.

Questions

Questions about booking the Rusty Pelican.

01

Can you set up facing the skyline?

Yes, and we would want to. The skyline is a better backdrop than anything we print. We just need to weight and position for the wind off the bay.

02

What about wind and prints?

It is a real problem outdoors here. In an exposed position we recommend the Social booth, which has no prints to lose. If you want prints, we put the booth somewhere sheltered.

03

Is Key Biscayne inside your area?

Yes, and there is no travel fee. We do build extra time in for the Rickenbacker, because traffic onto the key is unpredictable.

04

How early do you arrive?

Sixty minutes before doors as standard, and earlier for Key Biscayne. Setup and teardown are never billed or deducted from your hours.
