Photo Booth Rental Montreal: 5 Reasons to Choose Photo Magnets Instead

📅 July 2, 2026 · ⏱ 4 min read · By Mr. Magnet Montréal

You're Probably Here Because You Searched "Photo Booth Montreal"

That search makes total sense. Photo booths are the default event entertainment option that everyone knows. But before you book one, there are five things worth knowing about photo magnets — a service most Montreal event planners are now recommending over traditional photo booths.

Reason 1: Your Guests Don't Have to Line Up

A photo booth creates a queue. Some guests love it; others spend the whole night avoiding it. With Mr. Magnet, our photographer comes to your guests wherever they are — at their table, on the dance floor, at the bar. Every guest gets captured without interrupting their evening.

Reason 2: The Photos Look Real

Photo booth photos have that distinctive flat, over-lit look. Everyone knows they're "photo booth photos." Mr. Magnet uses professional camera equipment with proper flash to capture genuine candid moments. The resulting photos look like real event photography — because they are.

Reason 3: Magnets Last. Strips Don't.

Photo strips are charming, but they're paper. They get bent, lost, or forgotten in a drawer within a week. A custom photo magnet goes on the refrigerator and gets seen every day for years. When was the last time you noticed a photo strip? When was the last time you saw someone's fridge magnet? Exactly.

Reason 4: Every Magnet Is Unique to Your Event

Our magnets feature a fully custom design created specifically for your event — your colors, your date, your names, your logo. Nothing generic. A photo booth gives everyone the same branded strip; Mr. Magnet creates a genuinely personalized keepsake.

Reason 5: It Often Costs Less Than You Think

Photo booth rentals in Montreal typically run $800–$1,500 for an evening. Mr. Magnet packages start at $499 with unlimited magnets — no per-print fees, no coin slots, no restrictions. Call 514-613-2486 for a custom quote.

Reason 1–2: Better Photography and No Wasted Space

Photo magnets are captured by a trained photographer working the entire room, not a camera fixed behind a curtain — and because there's no booth structure to build, your venue keeps more usable floor space for dancing and mingling.

Reason 3–4: Faster Line Times and Real Keepsakes

Instant printing keeps lines moving quickly compared to booths that require guests to file in and out one group at a time, and every magnet doubles as a genuine keepsake rather than a paper strip that often gets lost.

Reason 5: It Fits Any Montreal Venue

From compact restaurant private rooms to grand downtown Montreal ballrooms, a photo magnet station adapts to nearly any layout without the space and power requirements a traditional booth often needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do photo magnets take longer to produce than a booth strip?
No — our printing process typically finishes in under a minute, comparable to or faster than many booth setups.

Can we still get a fun backdrop like a booth offers?
Yes, we can incorporate a backdrop or themed setup into the photo magnet station if desired.
