If you are looking for Oxford Town Hall photo booth hire for a wedding, corporate celebration, awards evening, university event or Christmas party, we can create a setup designed around your venue space, guest numbers and event style. Oxford Town Hall is one of Oxford’s most impressive event venues, with beautiful historic rooms, high ceilings and a brilliant city-centre location.
We recently brought Mad Hat Photo Booth to Oxford Town Hall for a large corporate event, creating two completely different photo areas for approximately 200 guests. Having now worked inside the venue, we know how beautifully a photo booth can fit into the building and how much potential there is to create something that feels completely personal to each event.
If you are looking for Oxford Town Hall photo booth hire, we can help you plan a setup that works with your guest numbers, chosen room and overall style.
A recent corporate event at Oxford Town Hall
For this event, the client wanted two photo opportunities that felt different but still worked together.
Inside the Main Hall, we created a clean black-and-white photo booth experience with a plain white backdrop. The simple setup worked beautifully against the scale and detail of the room, while the black-and-white photo strips gave the pictures a polished, timeless finish.
Near the entrance, we created a second statement photo area using our feather backdrop, a “LET’S PARTY” neon sign and disco balls. It gave guests another place to stop for photos as they arrived and immediately added a sense of occasion.
The contrast between the two areas worked particularly well. One was clean, classic and focused on the photographs, while the other was decorative, playful and made to catch people’s attention.
You do not have to choose two setups, of course. A single photo booth works brilliantly at Oxford Town Hall too. However, for larger events or celebrations taking place across several rooms, an additional backdrop can help create another focal point without needing a second full booth.
Which photo booth works best at Oxford Town Hall?
We have three different photo booth options, depending on the type of event you are planning.
The Icon
The Icon Photo Booth is our most customisable experience and is especially well suited to corporate events, awards evenings, launches and larger celebrations.
It can include company branding, personalised print designs, instant digital sharing and a custom rear video screen displaying your logo, message, slideshow or branded content. Guests can also choose between black-and-white or colour photographs and between traditional strips or larger prints.
For an event where presentation and branding matter, the Icon gives us the most freedom to build something around your brief.
The Retro
The Retro combines a modern wooden design with professional camera equipment, studio lighting and instant prints. It is a lovely choice for weddings, Christmas parties and events where you want exceptional photographs without a heavily branded setup.
You can choose black-and-white or colour photography and select either photo strips or larger prints before the event.
The Selfie Pod
Our Selfie Pod is a more compact option for events with limited space or for clients who would like a second interactive area.
It is self-manned, easy for guests to use and can include instant sharing and prints, depending on the package selected. It works especially well for entrance areas, drinks receptions, smaller events and busy corporate parties.
You can compare all three options on our photo booth hire page.
Photo booth ideas for Oxford Town Hall events
Every event at Oxford Town Hall is different, so we would always design the experience around your plans rather than using one standard setup.
For a formal corporate dinner or awards evening, a black-and-white photo booth with a plain white backdrop creates flattering, professional-looking photographs. Company branding can be added to the prints, welcome screen and digital gallery.
For an office Christmas party, you could choose red sequins, gold shimmer, a neon sign or branded festive prints. Our dedicated Christmas photo booth hire options can be adapted to match anything from an elegant winter theme to a full festive party.
For weddings, softer backdrops such as ivory drapes, white, champagne sequins or florals work beautifully. The prints can be personalised with your names, date and wedding design, while a guest book gives everyone somewhere to leave a copy and write a message.
For a university celebration, charity event or brand activation, we can create custom print designs, branded screens, digital sharing and interactive features that encourage guests to get involved.

Corporate photo booth hire at Oxford Town Hall
A corporate photo booth should do more than fill a quiet corner.
It can bring people together, give guests something enjoyable to do between other parts of the evening and create photographs they will genuinely want to keep and share.
Our corporate setups can include:
- Custom-branded prints
- Company logos and event graphics
- Black-and-white or colour photography
- Instant photo printing
- Digital sharing
- Branded welcome screens
- Rear-screen video or slideshow content with the Icon
- Online galleries
- Custom backdrops and installations
We can keep the branding subtle and elegant or make it a central part of the experience. Our corporate photo booth service includes more examples of what can be customised.
Planning the setup
Our main photo booth setups generally require an area of approximately 2.5 metres by 2.5 metres, with access to a standard 13-amp socket.
We usually arrive around 60 to 90 minutes before the agreed start time so that everything can be unloaded, assembled and tested before guests begin using it. This setup time does not reduce your booked photo booth hours.
Access arrangements and positioning can vary depending on which rooms you are using, so we will discuss the plan with you and coordinate the practical details before the event.
What is included?
The exact inclusions depend on your chosen booth and package, but our photo booth hire can include:
- Professional camera and studio lighting
- Instant prints
- A personalised print design
- Your chosen backdrop
- Booth delivery, setup and collection
- An attendant with the Icon or Retro
- An online gallery after the event
- Digital sharing with selected booths
- Props, if they suit the style of your event
You can see our current wedding and private-event packages on the photo booth pricing page. Corporate events and larger installations are quoted individually because the requirements can vary considerably.
