Aura Photobooth Co. travels into Toronto multiple times every week. Our team has set up at downtown hotels, corporate office floors on Bay Street, brewery venues in Liberty Village, and skyline-view event spaces in the financial district. We bring the same studio-quality DSLR photo booths to Toronto that we use at our home-base Burlington weddings — with the added downtown-Toronto skill set of working freight elevators, security checkpoints, and tight load-in windows.
Whether you are planning a corporate gala in the Financial District, a brand activation in King West, a wedding at Steam Whistle Brewery, or a private event at The Globe and Mail Centre, our Toronto photo booth rental delivers professional photography with custom branding that holds up next to your in-house creative team’s work.
Toronto event planners and brands trust Aura.
The downtown Toronto event market is competitive — there are dozens of photo booth rental companies in the city. What sets us apart is the combination of studio-quality equipment and operational reliability that marketing teams and event producers need. We are insured, COI-ready, and experienced with the load-in realities of downtown venues. Your venue contact will not need to chase us for paperwork.
Toronto corporate clients book us for branded photo booth activations that double as lead-generation tools — every guest opts in to receive their photos by email or SMS, and that opt-in becomes a CASL-compliant lead list delivered after the event. Wedding couples book us for the open-air setup that fits 10-person bridal party group shots, the custom backdrop matched to their colour palette, and the unlimited 4×6 prints that guests still talk about months later.

Toronto venues we work at regularly.
From downtown brewery weddings to high-rise corporate galas to suburban Etobicoke private events, we have set up across most of the Toronto wedding and event venue landscape. The downtown core, midtown, and the Toronto islands all see us frequently.
Steam Whistle Brewery — Roundhouse Park
The exposed brick, copper kettles, and railway hall feel of Steam Whistle pair beautifully with our Luxe booth setup. We position the booth where the brewery’s industrial aesthetic becomes the backdrop — and the venue’s lighting designers have always made our job easier.
The Globe and Mail Centre — Front Street
Floor-to-ceiling skyline windows. We always position the booth to capture the CN Tower or harbour in the background. For corporate events, the venue’s reputation as a serious downtown space matches our equipment and presentation.
Berkeley Church and Field House — Cabbagetown
Heritage church-and-garden venue popular for boutique Toronto weddings. Our open-air booth fits the courtyard perfectly and we have a tested layout for the church’s interior balcony placement.
Liberty Grand — Exhibition Place
Big-ticket Toronto galas and large weddings. The grand ballroom’s scale matches our highest-tier setup and we have specific load-in workflows for Exhibition Place’s loading dock.
Casa Loma — Castle weddings
For couples who want the wow factor, Casa Loma is unbeatable. We coordinate with the castle’s event team for the specialty load-in and position our booth in the conservatory or main hall depending on the package.
Fairmont Royal York — Front Street
The classic downtown grand hotel, directly across from Union Station and a Toronto institution for nearly a century. Ballroom weddings and black-tie corporate galas suit our Luxe setup beautifully, and we have a tested load-in through the hotel’s banquet service corridors that keeps setup discreet and on schedule.
The Carlu — College Park
A restored art-deco landmark on the seventh floor of College Park, and one of the city’s most elegant event floors. The sweeping Round Room is made for our highest-tier booth, and the space is a perennial favourite for upscale corporate galas and design-forward weddings alike.
The Fermenting Cellar — Distillery District
A brick-and-beam heritage hall in the heart of the cobblestone Distillery District. Our open-air booth sits naturally against the exposed timber and warm Edison-bulb lighting, and we know the pedestrian-only load-in routine that this historic, car-free district requires.
Malaparte — TIFF Bell Lightbox
Daniel Libeskind’s striking rooftop space above the TIFF Bell Lightbox, with floor-to-ceiling skyline views over the Entertainment District. It is a go-to for King West brand activations and modern downtown weddings that want the Toronto skyline right in the frame behind every shot.
What Toronto events expect from a professional photo booth.
Toronto guests have seen every kind of event. The booth has to earn its space — not just be there. That means:
- Quality that holds up next to professional photography — DSLR + studio strobes, no exceptions
- Custom-printed elements for weddings (names, date, monogram) or brands (logo, colour, campaign hashtag)
- Smooth queueing — our attendants keep the line moving so guests are not waiting 20 minutes
- Branded sharing for corporate — emails and SMS that carry your logo and CTA
- Tasteful props that flatter wedding photos rather than fighting them
- Reliability — we have never missed a Toronto event, and we always arrive at least an hour early

Toronto photo booth questions.
A few things Toronto couples, planners, and brand teams ask us most often:
How far in advance should I book a photo booth in Toronto?
Peak Saturdays in spring and fall often book six to twelve months ahead, so the earlier you reach out, the better your odds of locking in your date. That said, we can frequently accommodate Toronto bookings with as little as a month’s notice — send us your date and we will tell you right away whether it is still open.
Is there a travel fee for downtown Toronto?
A modest travel fee may apply for downtown Toronto to cover gas and staff time, and it is always quoted clearly upfront in your estimate — never a surprise on event day. For events in our core area of Burlington, Oakville, and Hamilton, travel is often included in the package.
Can you set up at an outdoor Toronto event, or at City Hall and Nathan Phillips Square?
Yes. We regularly work outdoor events as long as there is access to power and some weather cover for the equipment. For open spaces like Nathan Phillips Square or a rooftop terrace, we confirm the power supply and shade requirements for your exact location well ahead of the date. We have set up everywhere from waterfront patios to downtown rooftops, so an unconventional space is rarely a problem.
Which package is most popular for Toronto weddings versus corporate events?
Our Print Booth is the most-booked package for Toronto weddings — the custom 2×6 strips are the keepsake guests take home that night. For corporate events and brand activations, the Luxe Booth wins, pairing a flower wall or custom backdrop with branded digital sharing and CASL-compliant opt-in lead capture for your marketing team.
Do you require a deposit to book?
Yes — a deposit of 25% of the booking price secures your date, with the remaining balance due before the event. Because we turn away other clients once your date is reserved, cancellations within 30 days of the event forfeit the deposit. We send a simple online agreement and invoice once you are ready to lock it in.
