Fotobox.ch

A photo booth firm in Oberriet

Fotobox.ch rents out photo booths from Rietlilooweg 1 in 9463 Oberriet, and its page title pitches them for weddings and events. It offers three kinds of booth: a classic photobooth, a Magic Mirror and a KI-Fotobox (an AI photo booth). The homepage claims more than six years on the market, and prices are published for five packages and ten extras, with travel charged by the kilometer from Oberriet. The site is in German.

The company's own summary is "Ihr Profi für hochwertige Fotobox-Erlebnisse" (your professional for high-quality photo booth experiences). The substance behind it is a clear price list, and a long run of Google reviews: the page shows 5.0 stars based on 195 user reviews.

The booth

The homepage describes the equipment point by point. An external studio flash mounted above the booth gives good exposure even in difficult light. A professional dye-sublimation printer produces each picture on site in about 10 seconds. Live view on the monitor lets guests position themselves before the photo is taken, and the built-in monitor guides them with clear instructions. A wireless buzzer lets guests trigger the photos themselves. Real-time download lets guests put a photo straight onto their phone over WiFi and share it on social media. The booth is described as robust and compact and needs only a normal 230V socket. The Magic Mirror gets one line: the special photo mirror is "der Hingucker auf allen Hochzeiten" (the eye-catcher at every wedding).

For business events, every photo can carry a company logo. For a wedding, the same personalized print layout means names and date on each print, and the menu has a page of print layouts and templates to choose from.

Five packages

Every package lists a 24 MP single-lens reflex camera, unlimited high-quality digital photos, a high-speed printer at 10 seconds per print, a personalized print layout, an online gallery, props (glasses, masks, hats), a buzzer, setup and dismantling by FotoBox.ch, and shipping by post or collection:

• Fotobox DIGITAL, CHF 399.
• Fotobox VERSAND, CHF 449, with printing on request.
• Fotobox BUDGET, CHF 699, with 400 prints included.
• Fotobox PREMIUM, CHF 899, with unlimited prints, marked "Popular".
• Magic MIRROR, CHF 1,199, with unlimited prints.

The package list is not entirely clear on printing for DIGITAL, which shows "Fotoausdruck inklusiv" without a number, and it lists both setup by the company and shipping or pickup on every package. Ask which applies to your date and venue before comparing.

All prices include VAT. Travel is extra, and the page gives the formula: 2 x Oberriet to the venue and back, at CHF 1.50 per km.

Extras

The extras are priced individually: a backdrop system in white, black or pattern for CHF 70; instant image download with a QR code for CHF 50; photos on a 16 GB USB stick for CHF 25; the red buzzer for CHF 50; extra props for CHF 60; a live slideshow for CHF 70, excluding projector, TV or laptop; photo booth insurance for CHF 50, with a CHF 250 deductible; on-site supervision at CHF 70 per hour; the audio guestbook for CHF 249; and extra paper at CHF 149 for a roll of 400 prints. The supervision option is the one to note for a wedding where nobody wants to look after the booth.

How the company presents itself

Beyond the price list, the homepage makes four promises: long market experience (more than 6 years with photo booths), the latest technology, experience with countless events large and small, and 100% customer satisfaction as its top goal. A second block adds reliable service from the first consultation to the event, everything from one source from equipment to full service, and a team that supports the customer from preparation to the day itself with solutions tailored to their needs. Those are marketing lines, but the reviews give them some weight: several mention easy handling, friendly contact and smooth delivery. One reviewer writes that the children spent what felt like 80% of the evening at the booth and nearly filled an album.

The menu also points to pages not described here: a Foto-Pin service, a page on sponsoring the booth at an event, a list of event locations, and a dedicated page for the audio guestbook. A couple who wants the guestbook alongside the booth can read the details there before asking for a combined quote.

Reviews and references

The reviews on the homepage are short and positive. The most useful one for couples comes from a wedding: the writer praises the uncomplicated service, pleasant email contact, the delivery and pickup, and clear instructions from Christoph, and adds "Die Fotobox war das i Tüpfelchen an der Hochzeit!" (the photo booth was the icing on the cake at the wedding). Another praises "Zuverlässige und flexible Anlieferung und Abtransport" (reliable and flexible delivery and removal), one mentions photos delivered by WhatsApp, and one calls the new KI-Fotobox great for any party. The references section lists the booth at the RHEMA trade fair in 2025, a masked ball in Oberriet, a birthday at Black Point Oberriet and the wedding of Fabienne and Fabian on 10 September 2022.

What the site leaves open

The AI photo booth has its own page, which we have not read, so its looks and price have to be asked about. The site does not say how many hours a rental covers, whether the booth can be used outdoors, or what the insurance covers. Travel is precise but the page does not say whether a long trip adds anything beyond the kilometers. The site is German only and does not mention English; write in English and see how the reply comes back. Quotes are requested through "Offerte anfordern" buttons, and the consultation is described as free and non-binding. The phone number is +41 79 733 22 33.

Who it suits

Fotobox.ch suits couples marrying within easy reach of Oberriet who want to see prices before they write, and who value a firm with a long review record. The BUDGET and PREMIUM packages cover most weddings; the Magic Mirror is the option for a more formal look, and the audio guestbook is an easy addition. For a venue far from Oberriet, work out the travel with the formula first, since it is charged both ways, and ask whether the booth would be delivered and set up or shipped.
