Oliver EvansEvery time I clean my room, I somehow end up finding old photo strips from random events I went to years ago. Without them, I honestly forget these moments even happened.
But the second I see those little snapshots, it all comes flooding back. I get transported into a nostalgia of what happened inside the booth at that particular moment. The laughs, the awkward poses, and the weird props.
If you’re throwing a party soon, maybe you’d want to have that same kind of magic. Sure, posting on social media is easy, but there’s something so special about holding a physical photo in your hand.
So, if you’re looking for photobooth rentals in Vancouver, we’ve got you. Our team researched to find out the ones with outstanding features and good deals. Keep reading to know more about who we chose.

1. Prismatic Photobooth
Address: 363 W 6th Ave
Phone: +1 778-654-9344
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
From the moment we reached out to Prismatic Photo Booth, Martin and Gustavo were super responsive and easy to work with. It’s always a good sign when the founders are involved. It made the process smooth and organized.
We really loved the quality of their equipment. All of their booths use DSLR cameras and studio lighting, so every photo comes out sharp and vibrant.
They have four different booth styles to choose from: the Open-Air Photo Booth, Wedding Mirror Booth, 360 Video Booth, and Selfie Station. They’ve really got something for whatever your needs.
The 360 Video booth was a huge hit at our event. Guests loved the slow-motion effects and cool overlays. It added an interactive vibe that people kept going back to. If you’re opting for bigger group shots, try their Open-Air Booth instead.
Our team agreed that customization is their strength. We loved how they helped in creating a custom photo template to match the event’s theme.
Some clients we spoke to even had balloon backdrops and neon signs. We appreciate how they really go all-in for their clients.
Pricing is fair for what you get. It’s not the cheapest option out there, but it also doesn’t feel overpriced considering the tech and service level.
That said, we did feel like their online presence could be improved, especially on Instagram and Facebook. Since so many people post their photos, it’d be cool to see more examples of their work on there to get a better feel for what they can do.
They handle everything with professionalism
“Prismatic Photobooth is the best! Their service is exceptional, and the staff is friendly and professional. The high-quality photo outputs are amazing, and the open-air photo booth creates a positive and welcoming atmosphere. The variety of props adds to the fun and creativity of each event. From start to finish, Prismatic Photobooth handles everything with professionalism. I highly recommend Gustavo and Martin services.”

2. Vancity Photo Booth
Address: 666 Burrard St
Phone: +1 778-829-0541
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: 10 AM – 6 PM
We really love that Vancity Photo Booth offers different types of booths. There’s the open-air photo booth, classic enclosed, and more. We could say they can be versatile to a range of events.
The 360 photo booth is so cool. You stand on this platform, and a camera spins around you. It fits up to four people, and the final result is ready in under 30 seconds.
It’s really great for people who want to capture the whole moment, but it takes up a decent amount of space. It’s not something you’d want to cram into a small venue.
The open-air booth is more of a crowd-pleaser. It fit a bunch of us in the frame and was great for quick group shots.
We personally loved the instant printing feature on it. We didn’t have limits on how many photos or prints we could take, plus, we were also able to post everything to our social media instantly.
Their backdrops are impressive too. We visited their website, and they have tons of selections. They even accept some customs done, just make sure to message them weeks before so they can prepare it.
But you can also avail of their green screen booth. We think it’s perfect for those who want different backgrounds without committing to one.
If we had one complaint, it’s the lack of upfront pricing. You need to contact them for a quote. Not a huge deal, but it’s helpful to get an estimated figure before diving in.
Everyone loved being able to take unlimited shots
“Having Vancity Photo Booth Vancouver was a huge hit at our wedding reception! The attendant was wonderfully accommodating of all our guests, from age 27 to 97! Everyone had a blast and loved being able to take unlimited shots. Even our musician appreciated getting in on the fun!”

Will definitely use them again for the next party
“The selfie station was a big hit at our party. I meant to buy some props but forgot. Everyone loved it. One suggestion is to be able to text pictures to make it quicker instead of sending to email only. We will definitely useit again for the next party”

3. Blue Monkey Photo Booth
Address: 1372 Seymour St #2502
Phone: +1 604-307-9735
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Blue Monkey strikes a perfect balance between high-quality and interactive fun. They use DSLR photos, so the photos come out super clear.
We also loved how much you can customize everything, from photo layout and animations to logos and color that match your event. We feel like this adds a polished and premium feel to any event.
One of the standout features for us was the interactive photo-taking options. It’s not just click-and-pose. Their animations and custom digital screens break the formality and get guests laughing and genuinely engaged.
Their backdrop and prop selection were fun, too. However, a few of them felt a bit overused.
When we checked out their website for pricing, we figured they’re on the premium side, but they’re not rigid about it. Their base packages start at $545 for two hours and go up to $1,345 for six, with flexible add-ons like unlimited prints or extra time.
While the pricing is higher, they do offer special lower rates from time to time. We appreciated how upfront they were about costs and their willingness to customize setups. This flexibility gives them an edge.
They made our day so awesome
“We used Blue Monkey Photobooth for our wedding and it was such a hit! They are so professional and helpful when it comes to planning the event. During our wedding, the set-up was quiet and almost invisible. The guests love it, and we got so many cute memories out of it! Highly recommend. Thank you so much for making our day so awesome.”

Very kind and accommodating throughout the whole process
“I booked Blue Monkey Photobooth for my wedding this past week, and I am so glad I did! Sadiq was very kind and accommodating throughout the whole process and was really helpful at the wedding. The guests all had an amazing time using the booth to the point where I had to extend the session! I would definitely recommend Blue Monkey Photobooth to anyone looking for a fun addition to their event.”

4. Phoenix Magic Mirror Photo Booth
Address: 3588 Vanness Ave
Phone: +1 778-991-3728
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
We’re really impressed with Phonix Magic Mirror’s technology. Their team uses a high-resolution touchscreen with mirror reflections and digital overlays. The print quality is also amazing for such an interactive booth.
For us, what sets them apart is their customization. You can add event logos, messages, and even custom digital elements. We think it’s perfect for weddings or corporate functions that need a personal touch.
It was also surprising to witness the voice prompts that guide users in the booth. For those guests who aren’t familiar with how booths work, this is really helpful.
Another thing that we found unique was their digital props. These can be manipulated right on the touchscreen. It’s a new feature we weren’t familiar with, but also very innovative.
We also love that they have a variety of booths to choose from, depending on what you need. Their Oval Booth offers digital filters and enhancements. It kind of reminded us of these TikTok filters you use but on a photo booth.
That said, we did find that pricing isn’t listed on their website. It could be a little frustrating for those wanting to compare options upfront.
The team was super awesome, friendly and helpful
“The Phonix team has been amazing!!! I’ve booked them for a few corporate Christmas parties to date, and will definitely do so again! The Magic Mirror is awesome, and the team over there is great – everyone is super awesome, friendly and helpful.”
-Adam Stranks, Google review
Would recommend having them for any big event!
“The Phonix Photobooth was such a great addition to our wedding — our guests loved it! Our booth attendant was attentive, professional, and super helpful. We also loved that the photobooth is a mirror, so that you know exactly how you look before it takes the photo. Even before the wedding, Eric from the Phonix team was super responsive with any questions we had. Would definitely recommend having them for any big event!”

5. Pineapple Photobooth
Address: 2533 E 3rd Ave
Phone: +1 604-721-1384
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Our team noticed that Pineapple Photobooth prints use very high-quality paper that’s waterproof and vibrant. Our skin tones looked so natural and luminous, and we loved how the photos looked instantly.
They offer loads of props and backdrops, including customizable and themed options that suit all kinds of events. The open-concept booth was a hit since more people could join in, but keep in mind it needs a bit more space at the venue.
Their staff was amazing. They handled everything from setup to takedown, and we heard great feedback about Jordon being super patient with last-minute tweaks to the photo template. They were also great with kids, even the shyest ones.
We also found their Audio Guest Book unique. Guests could leave messages as a personal keepsake. It’s something we’ve never seen before at an event, and it added an extra layer of personal connection.
They offer a variety of packages, with options for everything from 2-hour rentals to 5-hour elite packages. We appreciated the flexibility of adding extra hours for $150, just in case the party went longer than expected.
While the prices are a bit on the higher end, the quality and comprehensive service make them worth it.
Things went smoothly and they guided us through the process
“We had an excellent experience with Jordon and Pineapple Photobooth – things went smoothly and they guided us through the process so that we could focus on the event itself. They allow you to create your own custom template for the prints, which is great, and even when there were technical difficulties in the planning process, those were resolved quickly. The staff, Ian, on-site, was also very friendly and did a great job.”
-Jaden Lau, Google review
Their service was outstanding
“I recently had the pleasure of having Pineapple Photobooth at my wedding reception, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From initial conversations and photo design with Jordon, to the setup planning and implementation with Ian, their service was outstanding. Their props and setup were awesome. The quality of the prints was superb, and they were super speedy to provide a digital gallery of all the photos after the event. I highly recommend Pineapple Photobooth for a fun and memorable addition to any event!”
