Do you serve Lake Forest from your Vernon Hills base?
Yes. Lake Forest is about 15 minutes from our Vernon Hills, Illinois base, and we charge no travel fee for any address in Lake County.
What is a mirror photo booth?
A mirror photo booth is a full-length mirror with a camera and touchscreen built behind the glass. Guests in Lake Forest walk up, see themselves at full size, follow animated on-screen prompts, sign the screen with a finger and receive a printed photo in about twelve seconds. Unlike a traditional enclosed booth, it is open, holds groups of eight to ten and doubles as decor when it is idle.
How much space and power does the booth need?
About 6 feet by 6 feet of level floor plus standing room for guests, and one standard 15-amp outlet within roughly 25 feet. We supply all cabling, cord covers and lighting.
How far in advance should I book a photo booth in Lake Forest?
We operate one Magic Mirror Air, so dates are exclusive. Peak Saturdays in Lake Forest — May, June, September and December — typically book two to four months ahead. Weeknights and Sundays are often available with a week or two of notice.
Are prints unlimited?
Yes. Every Magic Mirror booking in Lake Forest includes unlimited prints for the full rental, with a custom print template featuring your names, event and date at no extra charge. Digital sharing by text or email can be enabled too.
How do I book and hold my date?
Request a quote with your Lake Forest date, venue and hours. We send a digital proposal you can read, sign and pay online. Your date is locked on the calendar the moment the contract is signed.
Can you provide a certificate of insurance for a Lake Forest venue?
Yes. Send us the venue's exact insurance requirements and entity name and we will provide a COI listing them as additional insured before your event date.
Will the booth clash with a formal Lake Forest reception?
No. The Magic Mirror Air is a full-length mirror in a slim frame with no visible branding, and our attendant wears formal black. Guests read it as an elegant fixture until they step up to it.
