A selfie mirror — also called a digital mirror — costs from €730 to hire in Ireland in 2026, for a standard 3-hour package with everything included. That single inclusive figure covers delivery, setup, a trained attendant for the full hire, unlimited prints, a custom overlay and the online gallery, so there is no long list of extras stacked on top.
That said, €730 is a starting point rather than the whole story. The final number on your quote moves with the date, the venue, the hire length and whether you want a custom backdrop or branding. This guide breaks down exactly what a selfie mirror costs, why it sits a little above a basic photo booth, and how to get the most out of your budget.
Here is what selfie mirror hire costs in Ireland in 2026, in plain numbers:
For a side-by-side comparison with every other booth type — open air, enclosed, glam, AI and more — have a look at our full photo booth cost Ireland guide. If you want to see the mirror in action and read up on the kit itself, the selfie mirror hire page has the full spec.
Every selfie mirror we deliver across Ireland comes with the same fully inclusive package. The €730 is not a stripped-back base price with hidden charges waiting on the day — it covers the lot:
Like all our booths, the selfie mirror runs on BoothLedger — the photo-booth software we built and maintain in-house. The same team that writes the software runs your event, with a Canon mirrorless camera doing the capture, so it does not fall over on the night.
A basic open air photo booth in Ireland starts at €680. A selfie mirror starts at €730. So you are looking at roughly a €50 premium — what does that actually buy you?
The full-length interactive mirror hardware. A selfie mirror is a large, framed, full-height mirror with a camera and display built behind the glass. It is a more expensive, more delicate piece of kit per event than a tripod-mounted camera and a backdrop, and it needs more care in transport and setup.
The touchscreen and animation tech. Guests touch the glass to start, watch animated graphics sweep across the mirror, sign their photo with a finger, and follow voice prompts. That interactive layer is what people remember — and it is genuinely more software and more hardware than a point-and-shoot booth.
The mirrorless Canon capture. The mirror shoots through a quality Canon mirrorless camera rather than a webcam, so the prints and digital files hold up properly. That image quality is part of what you are paying the small premium for.
The theatrical experience. A selfie mirror is a centrepiece. It draws a crowd, the animations entertain the queue, and the full-length format means group shots and full-outfit photos work in a way a tabletop booth cannot match. For weddings especially, that presence is the point.
The €730 starting price covers a typical 3-hour weekend booking within about 90 minutes of our Dublin or Athlone hubs. Here is what can move the final number up or down:
Duration. Most events run on the standard 3 hours, which lines up neatly with the post-meal-to-dancing window at a wedding. Extra hours are available at a reduced rate of roughly €100–€120 each — cheaper per hour than the base package because the setup is already paid for.
Day of the week and season. Saturdays in June, July, August and December are our busiest, most in-demand dates. Friday nights, Sundays and midweek bookings usually come with better availability and sharper pricing.
Travel distance. We base kits in Dublin and the Midlands (Athlone, Westmeath), which covers most of the country at no extra charge. For very remote venues — far west Mayo, west Cork or Donegal — a small travel supplement applies, and it is always shown in the quote up front, never sprung on you later.
Backdrop and branding. A standard backdrop is included. If you want a flower wall, a sequin wall, a bespoke printed backdrop or fully branded on-screen graphics and a frame wrap for a corporate event, that sits a little higher than the base price. It is worth getting a custom backdrop priced alongside the mirror rather than as an afterthought.
Bundling. Adding a 360 booth, an audio guestbook or a second print booth alongside the mirror reduces the per-item cost noticeably. For a lot of weddings, two booths together costs less than one and a half would at separate-supplier rates — and you cover more of the guest list at once.
For most weddings and big parties, yes — but the honest answer depends on what you want from the night and how tight your budget is.
The selfie mirror is the most theatrical of the print-based booths. It is a genuine centrepiece, it photographs full-length so group shots and outfits land properly, and the touchscreen animations keep the queue entertained rather than bored. At weddings, milestone birthdays and glam parties, it pulls people in all night. For a deeper look at the experience and how it stacks up against a conventional booth, our selfie mirror vs photo booth for weddings comparison is worth a read.

If you are still deciding which mirror suits the event, the selfie mirror photo booth guide walks through the experience, the setup and the kind of events it works best at, in more detail.
Book early. Our 10–15% early-booking discount applies to mirrors booked more than 6 months out. For peak Saturday dates, that is the single biggest lever you have on the price.
Move off Saturday if you can. A Friday or Sunday booking in peak season can save 10–15% on its own, and midweek is cheaper again. If your date has any flexibility, it pays.
Bundle a second product. A mirror plus a 360 booth, or a mirror plus an audio guestbook, comes in well below the cost of booking each separately — and it spreads the entertainment across more of your guests.
Pick a venue close to a hub. If your venue choice is still open, somewhere within an hour of Dublin or Athlone keeps you firmly in our standard pricing tier with no travel supplement.
Get a written, itemised quote. Always. We send a full quote with every inclusion listed, every limit stated and the travel supplement (if any) shown up front — ask any supplier to do the same so you are comparing like with like.
Selfie mirror hire in Ireland starts from €730 for a standard 3-hour package. That price is fully inclusive — delivery, setup, a trained attendant, unlimited prints, a custom overlay and the online gallery are all included, with only a small travel supplement for very remote venues shown up front.
Slightly. A selfie mirror starts at €730 versus €680 for a basic open air booth, so roughly €50 more. The premium covers the full-length interactive mirror hardware, the touchscreen and animation tech, the mirrorless Canon camera and the more theatrical, centrepiece experience.
Everything you need on the night. The price covers delivery, professional setup and pack-down, a trained attendant for the full hire, unlimited high-quality prints, a custom photo overlay with your names or branding, props, instant SMS and email sharing, and an online digital gallery. There are no hidden extras.
A standard selfie mirror hire is 3 hours of live operation. Setup and pack-down happen on top of that at no extra cost, so the booth is ready before your 3 hours start. Additional hours can be added at a reduced rate of around €100–€120 each.
Yes. A standard backdrop is included, but you can add a flower wall, a sequin wall, a bespoke printed backdrop or fully branded graphics. Custom backdrops and branding sit a little higher than the base price, so it is worth getting them quoted alongside the mirror from the start.
For a Saturday wedding in summer or a December event, aim for 4–8 months ahead, ideally as soon as your date is confirmed. Midweek and off-peak dates can sometimes be booked 4–8 weeks out, but booking more than 6 months ahead unlocks our best early-booking discount.
Every event is a little different, so the most accurate figure for your selfie mirror hire is always a tailored quote rather than a starting price. Tell us the date, the venue, the rough guest count and whether you want a custom backdrop or a second booth, and we will come back with a single inclusive number, usually within a few hours.
