Typical Wedding Photo Booth Hire Costs in the UK & Canada
Typical Wedding Photo Booth Hire Costs in the UK & Canada
Budget is usually the first question. The good news is that, compared with overall wedding spend, photo booths sit in a very manageable range.
In the UK, a traditional enclosed wedding photo booth typically costs around £500–£900 for a standard four‑hour hire, with premium options (such as 360‑degree booths or high‑end magic mirrors) sometimes reaching £1,200+ for extended hours and extra features. In London and the South East, where venues and supplier costs run higher, expect prices to sit toward the upper end of those ranges.​
In Canada, pricing is broadly comparable when converted to local currency. Couples in major cities such as Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, and Montreal usually see similar patterns:
-
Classic booth hire for a typical reception block.
-
Higher rates in central urban venues and peak summer Saturdays.
-
Premium pricing for 360 video booths, bespoke branding, or all‑day coverage.
Several factors influence your final quote in both the UK and Canada:
-
Booth type:Â Classic enclosed vs open air vs magic mirror vs 360.
-
Hire duration:Â 2, 3, 4, or more hours of active booth time.
-
Day, date, and season: Saturdays in peak summer command higher rates than midweek off‑season weddings.
-
Location and travel:Â City centre venues or remote rural locations can affect travel and staffing costs.
-
Extras:Â Guest books, branded templates, custom backdrops, upgraded props, and additional prints.
As a rough guideline, many couples allocate 2–3% of their total wedding budget to photo booth entertainment, which lines up well with broader wedding budgeting advice in the UK.
