Minnie is available for events May through October.

The snowy and salty roads of Minnesota winters are not too friendly to Minnie. As soon as the last snow melts each spring and the salt is washed away, Minnie will be set free and ready for summer!

May and October is usually snow-free in the Twin Cities, however some years this is not the case. If snowfall lingers into May or if it arrives early in October, we may need to make the call to store Minnie and cancel events over that time. Hopefully this won’t happen, but we will notify you right away to make that call and issue a full refund.

Minnie is currently available for photo booth services as well as partnering with photographers for mini shoots! Minnie is not available for any other collaborations at this time.

If you are a photographer and want to partner with Minnie to do mini shoots with your clients, please contact us for pricing and availability!

Travel is included within 35 miles of 55124 (road distance calculated to your venue from this zip code via Google Maps).

At this time, Minnie is staying closer to home and is not traveling outside this radius. We are hoping we will be able to expand this distance in the future!

We arrive 1 hour prior to the event start time. This time is solely dedicated to the set up process and ensuring Minnie is ready to party on time!

This time is not available for wedding photos to be taken.

Yes! A booth attendant will be present during the duration of our time at your event.

The booth attendant will position Minnie, set up, ensure your guests have a smooth (and fun!) experience, and take down at the end.

All 3 of our packages have booth hours that run consecutively.

If you would like for us to pause your booth time or arriver earlier, Idle Hours can be added. Please see our Add-On’s page for pricing.

Yes, we require access to a standard outlet for power (120V, 15 amps, 3-prong outlet) and must be located within 75-100ft of where Minnie is positioned. We travel with a 100 ft. extension cord.

Unfortunately we currently are unable to accommodate venues or locations that do not have access to standard power.

Yes, of course! As long as you get written permission from your event venue, Minnie is happy to bring the party inside!

Minnie needs an opening at least 7’ W x 7’ H and the floor needs to be structurally sound to hold the weight.

Minnie needs at least 20’ x 15’ of flat, drivable space. From side mirror to mirror she's 75" wide, 171" long, and 75" tall.

You bet! Minnie loves getting dressed up!

Tape, glue, wire, or any other potentially harmful mechanisms to attach decor or flowers are not allowed in order to protect Minnie. The booth attendant will assist you, your florist, or other vendors to help Minnie get dressed up just the way you would like!

You can avoid some of the hassle by renting our greenery as well! We offer a beautiful artificial garland and wreath you can include (see our Add On’s age).

Additional Idle Hour(s) may need to be added to account for this additional decorating time. Please contact us with your ideas!

Absolutely! Minnie loves having her photo taken! Idle Hours can be added before or during the booth hours time to accommodate photo time depending on your wedding timeline. Please see our Add On’s page for Idle Hour pricing.

Minnie is limited to only photos located at the venue. Unfortunately she cannot accompany you to any offsite photo locations.

Since Minnie and the booth attendant need to drive and travel to each event, we keep a close eye on the weather forecast leading up to each event. If bad or severe weather is expected, we reserve the right to cancel (or delay arrival) in order ensure the safety of our booth attendant (and Minnie too!). If we need to make that call and cancel, we will immediately call our point of contact for your event to notify you as well as issue a full refund! Let’s hope that doesn’t happen!

We also work with you ahead of time on a “rain plan”. If you plan for Minnie to be outside for your event, we like to have a back up position/location at your venue in mind if it’s raining or starts to rain. It makes a much better experience if we can have Minnie covered so guests can use Minnie without getting wet!

If it starts to rain, we can move Minnie to the back up location (inside, up against an opening to a building/barn, etc.).

Minnie is always up for a nice drive, but unfortunately she only lets the booth attendant take the reins. This keeps both the guests and Minnie safe!

Yes. In accordance with Minnesota tax law, all service packages and add-on’s are subject to local sales tax and will be added to each invoice.
