Photo Booth Add-Ons That Make Your Event Next-Level (Sydney 2026)
The photo booth is booked. The package is sorted. The custom template is in progress. And then someone asks: is there anything else we can add to make it even better? Yes. And some of these additions don't just improve the photo booth experience — they change the entire feel of the event. This guide covers every add-on available through Simple Snaps, what each one does, when it's worth it, and how to decide what's right for your event..
The Keyring Bar: The Add-On That Changes Everything
If you only add one thing to your photo booth package, make it the Keyring Bar. Here's the concept: alongside the photo booth, we set up a live personalisation station. Guests choose a premium leather keyring in their preferred colour and watch as a charm is assembled with their favourite photo from the night — right in front of them. The whole process takes about 90 seconds. The result lasts for years. The Keyring Bar isn't a party bag filler. It's a handcrafted, personalised keepsake that every guest takes home at the end of the night — something that connects them to this specific event, this specific person, this specific moment in time. Every time they reach for their keys, they're reminded of it.
Why it works so well:
- It gives guests a reason to stay at the booth longer, increasing photo traffic and energy- It creates a natural flow — from photo, to personalisation, to proud owner- It produces a physical keepsake that photo strips alone don't replicate- It's a talking point for the entire night — guests show each other their keyrings constantly.
When it's most impactful:
Weddings, 50th and 21st birthday parties, hens nights, corporate end-of-year events, and baby showers. For any event where you want guests to feel genuinely special — not just entertained — the Keyring Bar is the answer.
Pricing & Volume
100 pieces | $500
150 pieces | $750
200 pieces | $1,000
For most events of 60–120 guests, 100–150 pieces is the right volume.
Florist Arch Backdrop: The Visual Centrepiece. A florist arch transforms the photo booth from a setup into a destination. Instead of a flat fabric or sequin backdrop, a custom floral arch creates a living, textured, genuinely beautiful backdrop that makes every photo from the night feel like it was taken somewhere extraordinary. Guests approach it differently — they want to be photographed in front of it, not just by it. Florist arches are built to the event's brief: the flower types, the colour palette, the density of the arrangement. A white peony and eucalyptus arch for a garden wedding. A blush and dusty rose arrangement for a 21st birthday. A lush greenery wall for a corporate activation that needs a visual brand statement.
Why it's worth it:
The florist arch does double duty — it's the backdrop for the photo booth and a decorative centrepiece that guests photograph independently of the booth. It elevates the visual quality of every single photo strip produced throughout the night. And in the event photos, the arch is the detail that makes the setup look genuinely curated rather than hired.
Best suited for: Weddings, engagement parties, milestone birthdays (50th, 21st), baby showers, upscale corporate events. Any event where the aesthetic is as important as the entertainment.
How to organise it: The florist arch is arranged in partnership with a florist — we'll work with your preferred florist or recommend one. Because the arrangement is custom-built, it needs to be confirmed earlier than other add-ons. Raise it at the time of booking so there's enough lead time.
Custom Backdrops: Style Without the Florals
Not every event calls for a florist arch — and not every budget stretches to custom floral. That's where custom backdrop hire comes in. Simple Snaps offers a range of backdrop options that suit different event aesthetics:
Sequin backdrops: Gold, silver, rose gold, and black sequin options.
High-visual-impact, reflective, and particularly striking in the Glam Booth's studio lighting. The go-to for corporate events, award nights, and milestone birthday parties where glamour is the brief.
Linen and fabric backdrops
Ivory, white, blush, sage, and neutral tones. Clean, elegant, and versatile — works beautifully for weddings, baby showers, garden parties, and events with a softer aesthetic. The most popular non-floral option for daytime events.
Branded backdrops
For corporate events and product launches, a custom-printed backdrop featuring your company logo, campaign artwork, or brand colours turns every photo strip into branded content. Guests sharing photos from the event are effectively sharing your brand.
Which to choose:
Going for maximum visual drama → sequin- Soft, elegant, timeless → linen/fabric. Simple snaps has a range of fabric backdrops in Gold, White and Red.
Corporate activation or product launch → branded- Budget allows and aesthetic is a priority → florist arch.
The Corporate Complete: Everything Bundled.
For corporate events in Sydney, Simple Snaps offers the Corporate Complete — a bundled package that brings the photo booth, Keyring Bar, and a professional emcee together at a single price.
What's included:
Classic Photo Booth with custom-branded corporate template (3 hours)
Keyring Bar (100 branded leather keyrings)
Professional Emcee (3 hours)
Florist (blooms in season) - starting from $650
Standalone value: 2,300 Package price: $1,997 (saving $303)
The Corporate Complete is designed for end-of-year events, award nights, product launches, and team celebration evenings of 50–150 guests. It handles the event's entertainment, its recognition photography, and its guest keepsake in a single booking — and the emcee activates the photo booth as a live event moment rather than leaving it as a passive side attraction. Keyring upgrade options: 150 pieces (+$250), 200 pieces (+$500).--
