Retro booth pricing — same ladder as the DSLR
The cabinet is the only thing that changes. The price, the attendant and the prints don't.

Step up. Four frames. Keep the strip.
Step up to the cabinet
No curtain to fight, so a table of six fits in frame. The attendant picks black and white or colour with you, and the countdown starts.
Four frames, real flash
Four poses, a studio flash each time. The look is 1974; the light is this decade, which is why nobody comes out grainy.
Hold the strip
The 2×6 lands in about seven seconds. It goes in a jacket pocket, a clutch, a guest book, or straight onto someone's fridge by Monday.
Retro booth or DSLR booth? Same photos, different furniture.
Pick the Retro when
The room has character and a white tower would fight it: a barn, a barrel cellar, a heritage ballroom, a garden. Your palette is vintage, editorial or black-tie. You want the strip to be the favour. You like the idea that the booth looks like it was always there.
Pick the DSLR when
The event is corporate and the template needs a logo wall, or the room is modern and clean and the white DSLR booth suits it. Want the full interactive spectacle instead? That's the Magic Mirror. We'll tell you straight which fits your room.
Rooms where the wooden cabinet looks like décor
Winery & barn weddings
Warm wood meets warm wood. In a barrel cellar or a reception barn the cabinet reads as part of the room, and the black-and-white strips match the candlelight. See which booth fits each Niagara venue.
Milestone birthdays & anniversaries
A 50th, a 70th, a 25th anniversary. The people in the room remember real photo booths, and the strip in their hand is the whole point of the night.
Heritage rooms & galas
Art Deco ballrooms, stone mills, old hotels. A wooden booth belongs in a room with a story; a plastic one apologizes for being there.
Before dinner, after dinner
One couple booked the Retro for the hour before dinner and the Mirror for the dancing. Two looks, one calendar. Hours split across booths at no extra charge.
Want the strip to outlive the night?
Keychain Station turns the second strip into a keychain on the spot. Up to 100 for $400; extras $50 per 10.
Retro photo booth cost — answered plainly
How much does a retro photo booth rental cost?
$750 for 2 hours, $850 for 3 hours, or $950 for 4 hours (most popular), attendant included, unlimited sessions, instant prints and a custom template. Extra hours $100. Same ladder as our DSLR booth: you're choosing a look, not paying for one. Peak-season Saturdays carry a three-hour minimum. See pricing.
Is the retro booth enclosed with a curtain?
No. It's an open-air wooden cabinet: the vintage look of a classic booth with the backdrop and group capacity of a modern one. A whole table fits in frame; a curtained box fits two and a half. If you specifically want the curtain, tell us and we'll say honestly whether another operator's unit suits you better.
What do the prints look like?
Classic 2×6 strips, four frames down, or a 4×6 if you'd rather. Black and white or colour, chosen on the night at the booth, and the template carries your names and date in a typeface that suits the cabinet. Strips land in about seven seconds.
Is it just the DSLR booth in a wooden box?
Same high-end mirrorless camera as our other booths, with a flash mounted on top, which is why the prints are sharp instead of nostalgic-blurry. What changes is everything guests see: a wooden cabinet instead of a white tower, a classic strip instead of a modern layout, and a black-and-white default that makes everyone look like they were there in 1974.
Which events suit the retro booth?
Weddings in heritage rooms, barns and wineries, where a white tower looks like it wandered in from a trade show. Milestone birthdays and anniversaries, where the strip is the favour. Any event with a vintage, garden-party or editorial palette. Less so: brand activations that need a screen full of logos; that's the Mirror or the DSLR booth.
How much room does it need?
About 8×8 feet with a standard outlet within 20 feet, same as our other staffed booths. We deliver, set up (about 40 minutes), run it and pack it out. Travel is included across Niagara and the GTA.
