Who you're hiring, no mystery
Where is Pic Booth located and what areas do you serve?
We're based in St. Catharines and serve the whole Niagara Region — Niagara Falls, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Welland, Grimsby, Thorold, Fort Erie — plus the GTA: Hamilton, Burlington, Oakville, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, and Toronto.
Is Pic Booth a local St. Catharines company?
Completely — we're based in St. Catharines and deliver to venues across Niagara, Hamilton and the GTA. When the 55th JUNO Awards After Party needed a booth, the call came here, not to Toronto.
How long has Pic Booth been operating?
Founded in 2020 in St. Catharines, with hundreds of weddings, corporate events, and private celebrations since — including the official JUNO Awards After Party booth. Founder Rick Taylor brings over 25 years behind professional cameras.
What types of photo booths do you offer?
The Magic Mirror, the classic DSLR booth, the 360 video booth, the walk-in Magazine cover booth, a self-serve booth, plus Draw Bots (from $1,000) and the Mosaic Wall (quoted to your event).
What fits your event, matched honestly
What is a 360 video booth?
A platform your guests stand on while a rotating camera arm orbits them in slow motion — shareable video, posted before dessert. From $900; details on the 360 page.
Do you offer wedding photo booth rentals?
It's the heart of what we do — every booth type, every Niagara and GTA city, with a dedicated wedding hub and three Wedding Bundles from $1,099.
Do you offer corporate photo booth rentals?
Yes — galas, holiday parties, trade shows, and brand activations with custom-branded templates and COIs on request. Start at the corporate page.
What types of events do you serve?
Weddings, corporate events, birthdays, proms, graduations, anniversaries, winery events, and brand activations — the booth doesn't care what the banner says; it prints all night either way.
Photo booth pricing questions
How much does a photo booth rental cost?
Real numbers, no games: DSLR from $750, Magic Mirror from $800, 360 from $900; the guest-run Magazine from $1,000 all-day, self-serve from $450. Full rate card on the pricing page.
Do you offer wedding packages or bundles?
Three Wedding Bundles, each with a 4-hour Magic Mirror and an attendant: Wedding $1,099 (Audio Guest Book and Pic Booth One), Signature $1,299 (adds 5 screen-free cameras, the QR Ticket Station and a live slideshow) and Keepsake $1,599 (adds a keychain or magnet station and a second attendant).
How far in advance should I book?
Peak-season Saturdays (May through October) book 6 to 12 months out and carry a three-hour minimum. If your date is sooner, ask anyway — we'll tell you honestly what's open.
Is there a travel fee?
No — travel is included across Niagara and the GTA. The number you see is the number you pay. St. Catharines events have no travel at all, because there's no travel.
Logistics, handled for you
How much space does the booth need?
Most booths need 8×8 to 10×10 feet and a standard outlet; the 360 prefers 10×10 with ceiling clearance. We confirm the footprint against your venue before the day.
How long does setup take?
We arrive well before your event: setup runs 45–90 minutes depending on booth and venue, and teardown takes 30–45 minutes after you wrap. You never see the assembly, only the result.
Is a professional attendant included?
Every staffed booth includes a trained attendant for the full rental — running the booth, keeping the print queue moving, handling guests. Self-serve booths are guest-run by design; that's why they cost less.
Can the booth be set up outdoors?
Yes — winery patios, gardens, and tented receptions all work with power access and a level surface. We coordinate the details, including a weather plan, with your venue.
What guests take home, kept for years
Are prints included?
Unlimited instant prints with every staffed booth. The Metallic Print upgrade (from $100) makes them the ones that get framed.
Can I customize the print template?
Every event gets a custom-designed template — names, dates, colours, branding — with proofs approved before the day.
Can guests share photos digitally at the event?
Instantly — text, email, or social straight from the booth, plus QR sharing through Pic Booth One. Popular with guests who want it posted before the speeches end.
Do I receive all the photos afterward?
Every single one — a complete online gallery of the whole event, delivered shortly after it ends. See what the output looks like in the gallery.
Question answered? The next one is usually "is my date open?"
Seven booths. One calendar. Peak Saturdays go first.
