Photo Booth Hire in York
Photo booth hire York couples choose us for usually starts with one question: will it look right in a medieval hall? With Selfie Star the answer is yes. Our staffed, hand-finished booths are designed for historic and high-end venues, and we work across the city, the Vale of York and the countryside out towards Malton and Stamford Bridge.
Below you will find the York wedding venues our team has set up in, how our Kardashian-style Glam Booth and oak Vintage Booth suit each kind of space, and everything included when you book.
Photo booth hire York: getting married in the city
Few cities pack so much history inside their walls. The Minster dominates the skyline, the Shambles and Stonegate are crowded with timber-framed buildings, and the River Ouse runs past guildhalls that have been hosting feasts for six centuries. A York wedding often begins with photos on the city walls or in the Museum Gardens and ends with dancing in a hall that has seen centuries of celebrations.
Step beyond the ring road and the scene changes completely. The Vale of York is flat, fertile farmland dotted with converted barns, Victorian estates and golf resorts, which gives couples a real choice between city-centre grandeur and a relaxed country celebration.
Kardashian-style photo booth hire in York
Our Glam Booth is the reason this page exists. It recreates the black and white red-carpet look made famous by celebrity parties: a seamless white backdrop, beauty lighting that softens and flatters, and high-contrast prints that look like editorial portraits. Against York’s stone, oak panelling and stained glass, those monochrome images feel completely at home. The Glam Booth starts from £650.
Prefer warmth and texture? Our Vintage Booth is hand-crafted from solid oak, with a choice of backdrops, from £625. Vintage photo booth hire in York is especially popular at barn venues in the Vale, and if you change your mind later you can upgrade to the Glam Booth for £25.
For something completely different, the staffed AI Photo Booth offers AI backgrounds, artistic styles, avatars and face swap, printed instantly – a favourite for milestone birthdays and corporate evenings.

Which booth suits your York venue?
As a rough guide, the guildhalls, The Grand and The Milner suit the Glam Booth’s clean, timeless style, while Woodstock Weddings, White Syke Fields and the other barns lean towards the oak Vintage Booth. Country houses such as Thicket Priory or Burtonfields Hall work with either – it really comes down to whether you want monochrome glamour or a warmer, rustic feel. Tell us about your theme and we will help you choose.

Wedding DJ and photo booth in York
Booking your music with our sister company EventsDJ lets you combine the two as our Wedding DJ & Photo Booth package, which saves money compared with booking separately. The Evening DJ package lasts five hours, and cold spark fountains or a sax player can be added. When you book a DJ with us, our self-service Party Pod and Digital Pod also become available, which is handy if you want something running from the drinks reception onwards alongside your DJ.
Need a DJ too? Our sister company EventsDJ provides the York wedding DJ.
Tips for planning a York wedding
- Book well ahead. Couples usually book us 12–24 months in advance. A booking fee secures the date, and the balance is due 14 days before.
- Talk to your venue early. Historic halls each have their own way of doing things, so share your room plan with us and your coordinator and we will agree where the booth goes.
- Time it with the evening. Many couples open the booth as evening guests arrive so everyone gets a turn before the dance floor fills.
- Race days and festivals. If your date falls on a big racing weekend, book accommodation for guests early.
Parties and corporate events in York
We also bring our booths to Christmas parties, conferences, awards dinners, birthdays and school proms across York. The Glam Booth gives a corporate event a premium, red-carpet feel, and branded print designs keep your company name on every photo.

We had the most amazing wedding day and being able to capture such fun photos with SelfieStar was amazing. The photo quality was fantastic and the team on the day were so fun and helpful. I’ve been to many other weddings and this is by far the best photo booth I’ve used - so I’m glad it was ours! Would definitely recommend 😄
We met Sally and Wayne at a wedding fair and hiring them was the best decision ever ( despite already having a DJ provided within our wedding package at Aldwark Manor) we knew it would be an extra cost but we were willing to do this as we wanted Wayne as our DJ , and he was worth every penny, he made our wedding exactly what we wanted he listened to our preferences and tailored the music to our taste. The guests absolutely loved him. He also helped organise the dance floor which I wanted and provided letters. Sally on the photobooth was equally amazing, guests had such a laugh and kept Sally busy. Definitely a must have at any party. The added bonus of us receiving a copy of every photo taken that night and placed in a box was simply brilliant myself and my husband were able to look through these at our leisure and have a good giggle. So a massive thank you to both Sally & Wayne and if your looking for a top class DJ and photo booth look no further we highly recommend these guys they are the best.
I can't express enough how thrilled we were with Selfie Star's photo booth and DJ services at my niece's wedding. The solid oak photo booth added a touch of tradition and elegance to the event, and it was non-stop fun throughout the evening. Sally and Wayne Baker are an incredible duo, engaging guests from both the USA and the UK, creating an unforgettable party atmosphere. Wayne's music kept the dance floor alive, and the audio guest book was a unique and cherished addition. Everyone at the wedding couldn't stop raving about the quality of the venue and the amazing atmosphere created by Selfie Star. Thank you, Sally and Wayne, for making Charlotte and Matthew's wedding an absolute blast. You truly are stars in your own right, and I highly recommend your services to anyone looking to elevate their event experience!
We hired the selfie pod and it was great, everyone loved it and had lots of fun taking photos. Booking was easy and it was dropped off without issue. 😀
selfie star made our wedding!! run by two of the nicest people we have ever met, Wayne and sal went above and beyond for us to make our special day run as smoothly as possible. They even took all the stress away before hand and communicated with the hotel about arranging the room and making sure everything we had hired from them would fit, they contacted the tribute band we had coming to the wedding and made their set up easier by connect up to selfie stars equipment which made our turn around from the day in to the evening party much quicker! The dancefloor, star light back drop and light up shoots completely transformed our room, it looked amazing!! we also had the dancing with clouds and cold spark fire work for our first dance which was also looked amazing! selfie star also hosted our full day and was our DJ Which I believe made the day run so well. They made us feel very special and organised all the special parts of the day to make sure they went as well as they possibly could and really made the special moments count! THe music was brilliant they played a mixture of songs we asked for and then a mixture of songs from 80s 90s and now which was great the dancefloor was full of people all night! highly recommended this company they are fantastic, we also had the table selfie centerpiece aswell which we and all our guests had lots of fun with and captured loads of memories! Thank you Wayne and sal you were fantastic and we can't wait to have another party with selfie star!!!
We booked Selfie Star Photobooths after seeing the photobooth in action at a wedding fayre. Booking with them was seamless and everything was so easy to access on the portal. On the day, set up was done with no issues whatsoever and our guests were free to enjoy the fun this brought to our evening. All of our guests commented on how fantastic the photobooth was and how well it was operated. It brought so much fun and energy to the evening and was loved by everyone. The photos were absolutely fantastic, we loved going through the prints and the digital copies of the photos! Absolutely incredible, thank you so much we are forever grateful.
We hired Selfie Star for the evening of our wedding. It was fantastic, all of our guests enjoyed it very much!
We had a photobooth at our wedding, this went down really well with our Moulin Rouge themed evening reception. I would recommend without any hesitation great company to work with. Thankyou Tony and Stefan
Could not recommend selfie star enough. Our guests absolutely loved the booth and then a week later we got all the photos which was amazing to see. Thank you for everything
Booked for our daughters wedding, booking process and communication all excellent Everyone had a great time in the photo booth, good quality pictures
Absolutely amazing DJ and photobooth service for our wedding! Communication beforehand was excellent and they made everything so easy and stress-free from start to finish. They arrived punctually, were incredibly professional, and did everything we asked for with no problem at all. The DJ kept the dancefloor full all night and was also a fantastic MC, helping the whole evening run smoothly and keeping the atmosphere lively and fun. The photobooth was such a hit with all our wedding guests too! We couldn’t have asked for better entertainment for our special day and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event.
What a cracking experience we had at a wedding yesterday with Selfie Star! Overall a friendly, humorous but professional service! He even let me take the horses head to the dance floor, I mean, what more could you want! Would absolutely recommend to a friend. You thoroughly deserve the top marks in this review!
Absolutely amazing! The best Photo Booth I’ve ever hired and the lady who brought it was such a lovely lady, my daughter even got her up for a selfie on the booth! 10/10 will absolutely book again at any given opportunity.
Amazing evening hosted by Wayne, he was fantastic and the equipment, set up too! He had great choice of music l, kept everyone entertained and the selfie mirror was amazing highly recommend. They are great for any event! Made the night so special 5***** Customer service was amazing really friendly team. Thank you!
We booked Selfie Star Photo Booth for our wedding and honestly it was one of the best investments we made. We went for the Kardashian filter to match our monochrome wedding theme and it looked incredible — the photos came out so stylish and elevated. Our guests absolutely loved it and were using it all night. The fact guests could have unlimited prints was amazing, and every print strip was personalised with our Mr & Mrs name and wedding date, with 3 photos on each print which looked so professional. Sally also shared a download link afterwards with all of the images, which was such a lovely touch. One of our favourite parts was coming home with a beautiful gift box containing copies of all the prints for us to add into our guest book and keep forever. Sally was fantastic throughout and everything ran so smoothly. We couldn’t recommend Selfie Star enough!
we loved our photo booth for our wedding last month. Not only did we hire that from Selfie Star, we hired the DJ, venue uplighting and sparkler fountains. Wayne and Sally was very accommodating for our need after we had to change a few things and move our timeline forward which wasn't too much hassel for them. would 100000% recommend to anyone looking for entertainment for their special event. we also want to wish Wayne and Sally all the best in their business . Mr & Mrs Whelan
Selfie Star were excellent from start to finish - their communication was prompt and clear and set up on the day was extremely smooth and efficient. The Photo Booth itself was an absolute hit and such good fun. Cannot recommend highly enough! Thanks so much for such great service .
We met Wayne & Sally at a wedding fayre. They were both really lovely and approachable, discussing all of their options & packages. Their communication was excellent & their app is easy to use for updates, info on your package and payments. Having used photobooths before, I can say the tech from Selfie Star was the best quality we’ve seen! We had the ICON! Wayne on the night of our wedding was brilliant, super friendly & arrived in plenty of time for the start of the evening celebrations! He had a great attitude with all of our guests, creating a fab atmosphere and we all certainly had fun! We also added late to our booking an audio guestbook, which was no trouble and brilliant to use! Listening back to the messages has been a real highlight. The turnaround on the online photo gallery & audio messages was amazingly quick too, coming back in just a few days after our wedding! Would highly recommend to anyone for any function! Huge thank you! 5*!
I would like to thank and highly recommend Wayne Baker and Selie Star Events. I got to know Wayne around last Christmas time and remain good friends and business colleagues. I run an entertainment business myself and from time to time we need to depend on other services and djs to help us through busy or sick periods. Wayne has stepped in a many times for us and his work and setup is so professional. Wayne has provided a great service every time we have used him. Our clients have also left some great feedback. Here at MDG Entertainment we thrive on delivering a great product for a great value of money to individual events. It is hard to find in the business people like Wayne who work to our award winning standards. It is a pleasure to be able to use his service and know he will always deliver upon booking him. Many thanks Michael @ MDG Entertainment.
Absolutely made our night having the led dance floor at our wedding. Wayne was fantastic, customer service second to none. Arrived on time, no hassle, looked AMAZING!!😍😍 Would highly recommend Selfie Star Events.
