An attendant helps with:

troubleshooting if needed

event names

Custom overlays ensure every photo booth experience is unique and truly yours!
HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD I BOOK A PHOTO BOOTH?

Peak seasons include:
spring & fall wedding season on Fridays & Saturdays
summer weekend events
holiday parties in November and December. High in demand dates book up for the holiday season sometimes 7 months in advance.
Booking early ensures your preferred date is available.

All of our photo booth experiences can include a selection of props to encourage guests to get creative. Though the minimal, classy experience is very popular at the moment, so many clients are choosing not to have props at their photo booth.
We offer more high end and unique props that you don’t see at a lot of other photo booth rentals.

Yes. Photo booth rentals are available throughout Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area, including:

HOW DO I CHOOSE THE BEST PHOTO BOOTH COMPANY IN TORONTO?
Choosing the right photo booth rental company can make a big difference in the overall experience at your event. When comparing photo booth providers in Toronto, it’s important to look beyond just pricing and consider the quality of equipment, reliability, and customization options.
Things to look for when choosing a photo booth rental company include:
• Professional camera and lighting equipment rather than tablet-based booths
• Custom photo templates or branded overlays
• On-site attendants to assist guests and ensure everything runs smoothly
• Instant printing and digital sharing options
• Positive reviews from previous weddings or corporate events
• Experience working at venues across Toronto and the GTA
A reputable photo booth provider should also be able to show examples of past events and explain exactly what is included in the rental package.
Choosing a professional company helps ensure your guests have a fun experience and that the photos created at your event become lasting memories.
HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN FIT IN THE PHOTO BOOTH PICTURES?
Modern open-style photo booths can typically fit 4–8 people comfortably in a single photo.
Because the setup is open rather than enclosed, larger groups can gather together for larger group photos, but it can take some setup. Luckily, you can see yourself in our photo booths, so it’s easy to ensure everyone is in the shot!
HOW LONG SHOULD YOU RENT A PHOTO BOOTH FOR?
Most events rent a photo booth for 3 to 4 hours, which provides enough time for guests to enjoy the experience without long wait times, and ensure everyone that wants a photo has time to do so.
Longer rentals can be arranged and are custom priced.
ARE PHOTO BOOTHS WORTH IT FOR WEDDINGS?
Many couples consider photo booths one of the most popular forms of wedding entertainment. They give guests something fun to do between dancing and socializing while also creating memorable keepsakes from the celebration.
HOW DO I BOOK A PHOTO BOTH FOR MY EVENT?
Booking a photo booth usually involves:
checking availability for your event date
choosing your preferred photo booth experience
confirming the booking with a signed contract and retainer
Once booked, the photo booth provider will send you a questionnaire to gather all of the information needed to customize your experience
