We are hiring Photo Booth Attendants!

Job Description

As a photo booth attendant, you will be responsible for assisting guests with the use of the photo booth, helping to ensure that everyone has a fun and memorable experience. You should be outgoing and friendly, and have a flair for showmanship and putting people at ease.

We are a fun, rapidly expanding Northwest Arkansas photo booth rental firm searching for bright, energetic, personable, outgoing, and capable photo booth operators for weddings, business gatherings, and parties.

You don’t need to be a photographer or have any experience with it (this is a non-photography position), but you must be tech-savvy and comfortable with computers and cameras. You must be able to learn the photo booth software and how to run and troubleshoot the booth. Most events take place on weekends in the evening, but we do also get some weekday events as well. This is a great opportunity for someone looking to make some money while having fun.

We will provide you with a paid 'trial run' of your first event to see if it's something you enjoy, followed by paid training. We will work with you until you are confident operating on your own for events. You will most likely be scheduled a month in advance, and you may work one event per month up to four or more depending on your availability and the number of events booked. During our slower seasons (January to April), one to three events per month are normal, while on our busier seasons (May to December), three to five events per month are common.

The most essential aspect of our company is customer service, and maintaining our reputation as a reliable and trustworthy vendor is top priority.

Please note: We are searching for committed employees who will be with us for at least nine months. We have over 100 events each year and we are looking for people who are willing to commute up to 45 to 60 minutes to events.

Responsibilities will include:

Traveling between our location in Annapolis office and the event location, which can be throughout Maryland and sometimes Washington DC.
Unloading photo booth equipment.
Photo booth and/or printer set up, placing props, equipment, and backdrops.
Ensure that the booth is correctly set up, including replacing ink and paper.
If any technical difficulties arise, diagnose and resolve them - we are also watching and manning the booth remotely to help.
Remain on site for the time that the photo booth is up and active to assist guests with it.
Sometimes helping guests with a guest book.
Dismantling, loading, and driving equipment back to our location in Annapolis.
Depending on the location, event workdays may last anywhere from 4 to 10 hours - depending on location, travel pay is added on to hourly rate.

Qualifications & Requirements:

Must be extremely reliable and responsible. You must arrive on time at each occasion. There are no exceptions to this rule.
Must be professional, courteous, and dressed professionally (all black). You will be the face of the business.
Must be available for work into late evenings - most weddings and events conclude between 10 and 11pm. Most events are scheduled during weekends.
Must be sociable, outgoing, and engaging. We aim to provide a pleasurable and positive experience for our customers, which will positively affect by your smile and attitude.
Must be able to lift at least 50lbs.
Must be at least 18 years old.
Must have your own reliable vehicle that can fit the booth equipment, a valid driver’s license, proof of insurance and a clean driving record.
Must have ability to learn working knowledge of PCs and cameras to troubleshoot when something goes wrong (we have Tech Support and are also available to assist remotely)
Must enjoy going to parties and other social gatherings!
Must be able to perform the physical activity of unloading and setting up booth and equipment.
Must be dedicated and hardworking, as well as have excellent customer service abilities.
Must be organized and proficient at communicating by email and/or text to get schedule and event information.
Must be able to manage stressful situations and a wide range of people, from tiny children to rowdy adults - being assertive is a must... there are rare instances where we will leave an event early if adults get too rowdy and risk knocking over the equipment or making attendants feel uncomfortable.
Must be willing to travel outside of Annapolis, MD area.

Our events range from Annapolis/Eastern Shore (think Stevensville, Kent Island), to the Baltimore area, DC area, and sometimes (depending upon where, options chosen and length of time) NOVA. We will always do our best to make sure it's worth your time to send you out, and you'll have all the details before taking on an event.

How does the process work?

We have an online google calendar that you will use to update your availability. Twice a month, we will send you a list of upcoming events available and we will assign the ones that suit you. These events are a combination of weddings, engagements, birthday parties, and business functions. When you are selected for an event, you will receive an email with all the information, start time, end time, client details and complete address.

The booths are to be picked up from our Annapolis home base and delivered to the event, so you must be comfortable with driving. They are easy to maneuver but do require some decent lifting. Our packaged booth weights around 40 pounds and you’ll need to be able to lift it to waist height to get it into your vehicle.

What will my event day responsibilities be?

Arrive with the booth and equipment one hour or more to the location before the event hire start time begins.
Set up the booth and equipment (training will be provided).
Serve as an exciting and helpful booth attendant throughout the event, providing excellent customer service.
Pack down the booth and equipment at the end of the event and return to home-base.

This sounds great! How will I get paid?

Unless otherwise discussed for specific events, pay starts at $30/hr with room for increase. You will be paid for 1.5 hour set up time + the booth hire period + 1 hour tear down. Depending upon event location, travel pay may also be added to travel back and unload in Annapolis after the event. Pay will change to reflect out of town events as well. A short event would be a 2 hour local event and long event can run up to 4 hours, many weddings are - plus set up and tear down.

A trial run event will be paid at the event rate, while training pay is not during an event, takes place in Annapolis and is $20 per hour and runs up to two hours at a time.

What do I wear?

Dress pants and a dress top/business professional attire is generally fine, but please all black. Comfortable shoes are definitely a must. Please no sneakers. We’ll let you know if you need to dress up extra a black tie event. We typically show up in workout clothes to set up, and bring clothes to change into once everything is ready to go!

Friendly, engaging, and fun.
Loves parties, weddings, and other gatherings.
Tech savvy.
Doesn't mind a good drive. Hopefully has a good playlist!
