Montreal event planning guide
How to choose a Montreal photo booth guests will remember
Start with the guest experience. What will people do, what will they receive, and will the booth feel fresh when they walk up to it?
01
Picture what the guest actually does
Look at how guests choose, how the photo is taken, whether anyone reviews the result, what is printed, how digital copies are delivered, and how much personal help is available.
02
Decide what guests receive
A digital gallery, small strip, short video, and full portrait are different products. Compare what guests actually receive and how it is delivered.
MyPortraitBooth is built around a clean full-size 6×8 portrait in a protective sleeve. When guests pose together, everyone gets a copy.
- Exact print dimensions
- Number of copies
- Digital delivery method
- Event branding placement
03
Understand the staffing
Ask what the attendant actually does. Will they only keep the equipment running, or also help guests choose, take the photos, check the results, print, and organize pickup?
At MyPortraitBooth, both founders host the booth. Help with choosing and posing is part of the service, not just technical support for the equipment.
04
Know what is included before comparing prices
Ask for an itemized quote so an appealing starting price does not conceal a different level of service.
- Delivery, setup, and breakdown
- Active event staffing
- Physical print size and quantity
- Digital delivery
- Travel or parking charges
- Additional hour pricing
05
Ask how the booth works during a real event
Ask how many guests can realistically participate. Group size, interaction time, printing, approvals, speeches, dinner, and dancing all affect participation.
Ask what the vendor does after a poor image, printer problem, internet interruption, or venue delay.
Questions to answer before booking
What makes a photo booth good for a wedding?+−
It should be easy for different generations to join, fit around the reception schedule, produce something the guests value, and have enough active support that the couple does not manage it themselves.
Should price be the deciding factor?+−
Price matters. First check that each quote covers the same hours, staff, prints, copies, travel, and setup.
How much space does a booth need?+−
It varies by format. Confirm space for photography, equipment, safe guest movement, and pickup, as well as power and internet requirements, with both the vendor and venue.
How early should we inquire?+−
Once the venue and date are confirmed, ask early enough to compare availability, service formats, space requirements, and event timing.
