Frequently Asked Questions

  • Most photo booths operate on a strict 3 or 4-hour window. We believe luxury shouldn’t have a window. Booking Velvet & Oak means we are yours for the entire duration of your event (up to 8 hrs.) We arrive early for a silent load-in before your first guest arrives and remain active until the event ends. No “idle hours” fees, no mid-party setups, and no rushing your guests.

  • Once you book, we work with you (or your planner/stationary designer) to select typography that matches your event’s branding. We vinyl print and apply to an acrylic plaque mounted to the exterior of the booth using gold mounts.

  • To maintain the “furniture-grade” look and allow comfortable guest experience, we recommend a 10’ x 10’ footprint.

  • We print on high quality photo paper exclusively in 2×6”. We love the nostalgic strips and being we’re an enclosed booth…it’s fitting.

  • Yes. We are based in San Jose Ca and include an 80 mile radius-covering San Francisco, Napa, Sonoma, and Carmel. For destinations beyond this radius, such as Lake Tahoe or Southern California, please inquire for a custom travel quote.

  • Velvet & Oak is a one-piece booth and requires unobstructed paths and entry way clearance into the venue. The booth measure: 48” wide x 26” deep x 76” tall.

    Stairs, elevation changes and elevator must be discussed prior and may require additional fees.

    The booth requires a DEDICATED 120v power outlet within 20 feet. We cannot share outlets with DJs or other vendors to avoid tripping breakers.

    Outdoor events must have a proper protection from rain and sunlight.
