The Ultimate Photo Booth Guide: iPad, Magic Mirror, or 360?

Planning an event is all about creating moments people will remember — and a photo booth is one of the easiest ways to do it. Whether you’re organizing a wedding, birthday, or corporate event, photo booths bring guests together and give everyone a fun keepsake to take home (or post online).

At Nova Noir Photo Booth Rentals, we specialize in three unique booth experiences: the iPad Photo Booth, the Magic Mirror Booth, and the 360 Photo Booth. Each offers a different vibe, level of interactivity, and style.

If you’re not sure which one is right for your event, here’s a quick guide to help you decide.


💻 1. The iPad Photo Booth — Sleek, Simple, and Social

The iPad Photo Booth is a modern favorite among event hosts. Its minimal setup and digital features make it perfect for events where convenience and connectivity matter most.

Best for:

  • Corporate events and brand activations

  • Birthday parties

  • Small to mid-size gatherings

Why guests love it:

  • Instantly share photos, GIFs, and boomerangs via text, email, or QR code

  • Compact and stylish — fits in almost any venue

  • Fully customizable with your logo or event theme

At Nova Noir Photo Booth Rentals, our iPad booth packages include everything you need — professional lighting, themed templates, and setup handled by our team.

🪞 2. The Magic Mirror Photo Booth — Elegant and Interactive

The Magic Mirror Booth takes photo entertainment to a glamorous level. It looks like a full-length mirror, but behind the glass is an interactive touchscreen that guides guests through taking photos, signing digital messages, and adding fun animations.

Best for:

  • Weddings and formal events

  • Proms, galas, and milestone celebrations

  • Venues with classy, decorative themes

Why guests love it:

  • Full-body photos and premium lighting

  • Touch-screen animations and voice prompts

  • Instant prints for keepsakes

This booth adds elegance and personality to your event while still being interactive. Guests can strike a pose, sign their photo on the mirror, and instantly receive a print or digital copy.

For Chicago-area events, Nova Noir Photo Booth Rentals offers Magic Mirror rentals with attendants who handle setup, guest assistance, and teardown.

🎥 3. The 360 Photo Booth — Dynamic, Fun, and Unforgettable

The 360 Photo Booth has become the life of the party in recent years. Instead of still photos, it captures slow-motion videos as the camera spins around your guests, creating content that’s perfect for TikTok, Instagram, and other social platforms.

Best for:

  • High-energy events — birthdays, nightclubs, brand launches, and weddings

  • Events where guests love video content

  • Venues with enough open space for a platform setup

Why guests love it:

  • Creates shareable slow-motion videos

  • Works great with music and lighting effects

  • Offers the “celebrity experience” at any event

360 booths are eye-catching and always draw a crowd. They’re perfect if your goal is to make your event feel modern, interactive, and unforgettable.

If you want your guests to experience the wow factor, book your 360 booth with Nova Noir Photo Booth Rentals. Their team handles everything from setup to sharing stations — so all you have to do is enjoy the show.

  • Full delivery and setup

  • On-site attendants

  • High-quality lighting and equipment

  • Branded templates and props

That said, if you’re an entrepreneur exploring the event business, browsing setups like this 360 Photo Booth on Amazon can give you insight into how these booths work and what goes into managing them professionally.
