Short answer: Choose a wedding photo booth that matches your décor, includes an attendant, offers a custom template and prints, and runs during cocktail hour and dancing. Most couples need 4 hours.

A photo booth gives your guests something fun to do, captures candid moments your photographer may miss, and leaves you with a stack of keepsakes. Here are the questions worth asking before you book.

1. Will the booth look good in our venue?

Ask to see setups in real venues. A modern, neutral booth with a backdrop chosen to match your colours blends in with your décor instead of competing with it.

2. Is an attendant included?

An attendant helps guests, keeps the line moving and makes sure the booth works all night. At The Party Parlour, every package includes one.

3. Can the photo template match our stationery?

Your names, date, monogram and colours on every photo turn a booth into a keepsake. Custom templates are included in all of our packages.

4. Do we want prints and a guest book?

A photo guest book — guests paste a print and write a note — is one of the most-loved wedding keepsakes. You will need the printing add-on for this.

5. How many hours do we need?

Most couples choose 4 hours: open during cocktail hour (while you are taking portraits), pause during dinner and speeches, then reopen for dancing. Choose 6 hours if you want it open all night.

6. How much space and power does it need?

Plan for a level, sheltered spot and a standard power outlet nearby. Check with your venue coordinator early so the booth gets a good location near the dance floor.

7. How do guests and couples get the photos?

Look for instant digital sharing for guests and a private online gallery for you.

8. When should we book?

Saturdays from May to October are the busiest days of the year in the GTA. Book as soon as you have your date and venue.
