A simple photo booth checklist for Ottawa events. Everything you need to confirm before you book so nothing gets missed.
Booking a photo booth has more moving parts than people expect. Here is a simple checklist to run through before you lock anything in, so your event day is smooth and surprise-free.
Before you reach out
- Your event date
- Your venue (or your shortlist)
- Rough guest count
- The vibe you are going for
- What you want guests to walk away with
When you talk to a company
- Confirm your date is available
- See real photos from recent events
- Get the full list of what is included
- Ask what costs extra
- Confirm there is an attendant for the whole event
- Ask about backup equipment
- Confirm set-up and tear-down are included
Before you sign
- Read the contract fully
- Understand the deposit and cancellation policy
- Confirm the final price in writing
- Check how much space the booth needs and tell your venue
- Confirm arrival and set-up timing
The week of the event
- Share the venue contact and any load-in rules

Keep it simple
The whole point of a checklist is that you stop carrying it all in your head. Run through this, get clear answers, and you will know your event is handled.
