Who owns power and cable planning for an event photo booth?

The provider should specify equipment power requirements, and the venue should approve the available supply and cable route. The organizer coordinates those answers. Leaving the question until load-in can force the booth away from its approved position.

Include every powered component.

List the camera or tablet, lighting, printer and any separate display. Ask who supplies cables and accessories, and who may connect equipment under the venue’s rules. A nearby outlet is not confirmation that the whole setup can use it.

Show the proposed path from supply to equipment on the floor plan. Put the venue’s cable-management requirements and the responsible installer beside that route. Keep guest and service routes part of the review.

Test at the final position

Run capture and printing together after installation. Confirm that the provider can operate the agreed configuration before the event lead accepts setup. Route any change in placement back through the venue rather than improvising across a doorway.

Record the responsible contacts in the venue checklist. Use the equipment supplier’s requirements instead of an assumed universal power specification.

One power sheet for the complete station

Component	Record before installation
Capture equipment	Supplier’s requirement and approved supply point
Lighting	Each powered light in the final arrangement
Printer	Requirement for the unit actually supplied
Separate display	Its own supply and connection route

Attach the marked cable path and the venue’s management instructions. Do not add assumed technical specifications from a different model.

If the approved outlet forces a cable through the guest route, escalate the layout before opening. The answer may be a different supply or a revised position; it should not be an improvised cable crossing made invisible on the floor plan.
