Pricing & Booking

How much does a photo booth rental cost in Niagara?

Photo booth rental pricing in the Niagara Region varies depending on the booth type, rental duration, add-ons, and travel distance. Classic DSLR booths start at a few hundred dollars for a two-hour rental, while premium experiences like our 360 video booth, Magic Mirror, or fully branded corporate setups scale up from there. Most wedding packages fall in the mid-range and include everything from the backdrop and unlimited prints to a dedicated attendant and digital gallery. Contact us for a custom quote — we'll build a package that fits your event and budget with no hidden fees.

Do you offer wedding photo booth packages or bundles?

Yes — our wedding photo booth bundles are designed to give Niagara couples everything they need in one simple, transparent package. Bundles typically include the booth, backdrop, custom print template, unlimited prints, digital gallery, and a dedicated attendant. No hidden fees, no surprises on your wedding day.

How far in advance should I book a photo booth in St. Catharines or Niagara?

We recommend booking as early as possible — especially for Niagara wedding dates between May and October, which fill up quickly. Many couples book 6–12 months in advance. For corporate events and private parties, 4–8 weeks notice is usually sufficient, though popular summer and holiday dates go fast across the Niagara Region. Check your date here.

Is there a travel fee for events outside St. Catharines?

Travel within the St. Catharines and Niagara Region is typically included in our standard packages. For events in Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton, or Toronto, a travel fee may apply depending on the location and package. We'll always be transparent about any travel costs upfront — just mention your venue when you get in touch.

Setup & Logistics

How much space is required for a photo booth at a Niagara venue?

Most of our photo booths require 8×8 to 10×10 feet of floor space and access to a standard power outlet. Our 360 video booth needs a bit more room — ideally 10×10 to 12×12 feet — to allow for the rotating arm and guest movement. We're experienced working in Niagara's diverse venue types, from vineyard event spaces to hotel ballrooms and banquet halls. We'll confirm exact requirements when you book.

How long does it take to set up a photo booth?

Setup typically takes 45–90 minutes depending on the booth type and venue. We always arrive early — well before your event starts — so everything is picture-perfect and ready for your first guests. Teardown takes approximately 30–45 minutes after your event concludes.

Is a professional attendant included with every rental?

Yes — every Pic Booth rental across the Niagara Region and GTA includes a trained, professional attendant for the full duration of your event. They manage the booth, assist your guests, keep the print queue moving, and handle any technical needs so you don't have to think about a thing.

Can the photo booth be set up outdoors at a Niagara venue?

Outdoor setups are possible depending on conditions. We require a flat, stable surface, access to power, and protection from direct sun, wind, and rain — a tent or covered patio works well. Many Niagara outdoor venues like vineyards and garden estates work perfectly. Just let us know your venue details and we'll advise on the best setup.

Prints, Photos & Sharing

Are prints included with the photo booth rental?

Yes — unlimited instant prints are included with our standard photo booth rentals in Niagara and across our service area. Premium upgrade options include metallic prints, jumbo photo strips, keychains, and more. Every package also includes a full digital gallery delivered after your event.

Can I customize the photo print template for my Niagara event?

Absolutely. We fully customize print templates, overlays, borders, and branding for every event. For weddings, we incorporate your names, date, and theme colours. For corporate events in Niagara or Toronto, we integrate your logo, campaign colours, and branded messaging. See our add-on options for details.

Can guests share their photos digitally at the event?

Yes! Guests can instantly share their photos via text message, email, or social media directly from the booth at your Niagara or Toronto event. This is especially popular at weddings and brand activations where guests want to post in real time.

Do I receive all the photos from my event?

Yes — you receive a complete online gallery containing every photo taken at your event, delivered shortly after your event concludes. It's a great keepsake from your St. Catharines wedding, Niagara corporate night, or private celebration — and easy to share with family, friends, or your team.
