Halloween & dress-up parties — Johannesburg

The costume comes off. The print stays.

Somebody spent three weeks on that outfit. Your friends came as each other, your brother came as a lamp, and by midnight half of it is in a heap on a chair. The print is the one part of the night that stays exactly as it was.

Why a print, at a dress-up party

Made to be photographed.

A costume is built for one night and one reason: to be seen. The booth is where everyone finally stands still long enough for that to happen.

  • A print in hand about twenty seconds after the shutter.
  • A design made for your theme — not a template with a date dropped in.
  • A styled backdrop chosen with you, and a prop table for anyone who came underdressed.
  • An open booth, so the whole group fits in — capes, wings and all.
  • Two crew who set up, run the booth and pack down.

Halloween

One night a year, everyone is somebody else.

Halloween 2026 falls on a Saturday, so the parties will stack up on the last weekend of October. Those dates go first.

We make the print design for your party — dark, silly or somewhere in between — and set up indoors wherever you are gathering, at a venue or at home. Tell us the date and the theme, and we will come back within 24 hours.

Not only in October

Any party with a dress code.

If the invitation told people what to wear, it belongs on paper.

  • Halloween and costume parties.
  • Decade parties — the eighties, the nineties, the year you were born.
  • Themed birthdays and milestone dress-ups.
  • Masquerades and black-tie themes.
  • Indoors, roughly 3m x 3m, with a plug point.

Questions

Before you ask.

How much is a photo booth for a Halloween party in Johannesburg?

From R4 000, fully staffed, including a print design made for your theme and a styled backdrop. Tell us your date, venue and rough numbers and we will send a written quote within 24 hours.

Can the print design match our theme?

Yes. The design is made for your party — Halloween, a decade, a film, whatever the invitation said — rather than a template with a date dropped in.

Can you set up at a house party?

Often, yes. We need roughly 3m x 3m on a level surface indoors, within reach of a plug point. The booth is always set up indoors, never on a patio or in the garden.

How early should we book for Halloween?

As early as you can. Halloween parties cluster on the same one or two weekends, and we take a limited number of events so each one is properly staffed.

Do we get digital copies as well?

No, deliberately. Every photograph is printed there and then and goes home with the people in it. The print is the memory.
