Your studio timetable, online.

Take hourly studio bookings online, rental out gear and lighting as add-ons, and let regular clients book the same slot every week. LemonBooking prices each session automatically, holds a deposit and invoices in one go — so you can spend your day in the studio, not the inbox.

One system, every studio.

Photography, videography, music recording, dance, podcast booths — manage them all from one calendar. Each studio gets its own pricing, capacity and add-on list, and LemonBooking stops two bookings claiming the same room or the same lens at the same time.

Running dance classes? See our dance studio booking software instead.

  • Photography, videography, recording, dance, podcast and rehearsal rooms
  • Per-studio pricing, capacity and minimum booking length
  • Auto buffer time between bookings for kit reset and cleardown

Rent out gear in the same booking.

Offer lighting kits, lenses, instruments, backdrops, an assistant — whatever you have spare — as paid add-ons in the booking flow. Each item has its own stock count, so two clients can't book the same camera at once.

  • Lighting, lenses, instruments, backdrops, makeup stations
  • Stock counted per item — never double-rental the same kit
  • Charge per session, per hour, per item — or include it free

Regular clients, the easy way.

A lot of studio income comes from regulars — a session musician every Tuesday, a dance teacher every Wednesday, a photographer who books out a Saturday a month. Set the pattern once and LemonBooking generates every booking and invoices the whole run.

  • Weekly, fortnightly, monthly or first-Monday patterns
  • Bill the whole block up front, monthly in arrears or per session
  • Skip a date in seconds — just delete that occurrence from the calendar

A different rate for every client.

Pro photographers pay one rate. Students pay another. Partner agencies pay a third. Set up the booking groups once and the right price applies every time — no spreadsheet of discounts, no mental arithmetic when you raise the invoice.

  • Add as many groups as you need — Pro, Student, Agency, Member
  • Different rates for weekday vs weekend, daytime vs evening
  • Customers see only the rate that applies to them on the booking form

Take card payments. Hold deposits.

Connect SumUp, Stripe or PayPal and take payment from a link on the invoice. Hold a refundable deposit against kit damage and return it at the click of a button, or automatically once the session is over.

  • Auto-send an invoice with a payment link the moment you approve
  • Refundable deposits, returned in full or in part for damages
  • Syncs payments and invoices into Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent

Customer review from Trustpilot

“I tested all the hall booking systems I could find. Lemon Booking was the only system that was any good, and it is outstanding. So much flexibility and functionality. Fully customisable, great add-ins and incredible customer service team. Everything I'd want from a decent piece of software.”

Frequently asked questions

Anything we haven't covered, drop us a line.

Can clients book a studio slot online by the hour?

Yes — publish a live calendar of every studio. Clients see what's free, pick a start time and duration, and the system prices the booking automatically. Set buffer times between bookings so kit can be reset between sessions.

Can we add equipment rental to a booking?

Yes — offer add-ons such as lenses, lighting kits, instruments, backdrops and stylists. Each has its own stock count, so the system prevents double-booking, and you can charge per session, per hour or per item.

Can regular clients book recurring sessions?

Yes — set the pattern once (weekly, fortnightly or monthly) and LemonBooking generates every session in the run and invoices the whole block, with one-off skip dates for holidays or studio downtime.

Can we take card payments and refundable deposits?

Yes — connect SumUp, Stripe or PayPal. Invoices carry a payment link, payments are recorded automatically, and refundable deposits can be returned in full or in part after the session.

Can we have different rates for different clients or times of day?

Yes — set unlimited pricing tiers per booking group or per slot. Students, professionals, businesses and partner organizations can each have their own rate, including different weekday, evening and weekend prices.
