The short answer
A 360 booth films short slow-motion videos while a camera arm spins around your guests on a platform. A photo booth takes photos and prints them as strips your guests take home. One gives you clips made for phones and social media; the other gives you something to hold, stick on the fridge or put in a guest book.
Neither is better. It depends on your guests, your venue and what you want to keep after the night.

Choose a 360 booth if…
- Your guests love posting videos. 360 clips are made for Instagram Stories, TikTok and group chats.
- You want a moment people queue for. The spinning arm, lights and music draw a crowd.
- You're running a launch or brand activation and want your logo on content guests share.
- Your guests are mostly in small groups of friends rather than big family groups.
Choose a photo booth if…
- You want a printed keepsake. Older guests in particular love taking a strip home.
- You want every photo in one place. All Night includes an online gallery of every photo after the event.
- You have a theme. You can pick a backdrop, from sequins to flower walls, with Prints and All Night.
- Your guests aren't big on social media and would rather have something to hold.
Or book both
Weddings and larger parties often run both: the 360 booth for the dance-floor crowd and the photo booth for prints and messages. You can tick both services on one enquiry form and we'll quote them together.
