Wedding Photo Booth Rentals in Canada
Find the right Photo booth for your wedding, within your budget
Renting a photo booth
A photo booth is the reception's second entertainment, and at a wedding where a large part of the guest list is family who rarely see each other, the print strips end up on a lot of fridges.
It is a straightforward rental with a few decisions that are easy to get wrong.
Open, enclosed or 360 — which photo booth should you pick?
An open booth with a backdrop fits groups — which matters at a wedding where people come to it eight at a time. An enclosed booth fits four and is more private. A 360 booth produces a short spinning video rather than a print, and it draws a queue and a crowd.
For a South Asian reception, group capacity is usually the deciding factor. Ask how many people fit in the frame.
Do you get prints and digital copies?
Ask whether prints are unlimited or capped, whether guests can text or email themselves a copy, and whether you get the full gallery afterwards.
A duplicate print into a guest book, with an attendant sticking them in and getting people to write next to them, is a small add-on that produces the thing couples actually keep.
What space and power does a photo booth need?
A booth needs floor space, a power outlet and a spot the DJ's lighting is not pointed at. Ask the venue where it can go, and check that it is not somewhere the queue will block a service door.
Confirm whether an attendant is included for the whole run, and ask about idle time — a booth booked for six hours but only open for three still costs six.
What drives the price
No published Canadian figures for wedding photo-booth rental are narrow enough to quote here. What sets it: hours, booth type, whether prints are unlimited, custom print design and backdrop, props, an attendant, and travel.
Ask what a package includes at its stated price and what the common add-ons cost, because this is a category where the base price and the real price often differ by a lot.
Photo booth — common questions
How many hours should you book a photo booth?
Three to four hours, starting after dinner. Booking it for the whole reception mostly pays for idle time while guests are seated and eating, and the queue only forms once dancing starts.
Do guests get digital copies as well as prints?
Usually, but confirm it. Ask whether guests can text or email themselves a copy on the night, and whether you receive the full gallery afterwards — some packages include prints only.
Is an attendant necessary?
Yes, in practice. An unattended booth jams, runs out of paper, and nobody fixes the props. The attendant is also who gets a shy guest to actually use it, which is most of the value.
