Markham sits where innovation meets tradition. On a weekday you’ll find product demos and team offsites in the tech corridor along Highway 7 and the 404. On the weekend, there are Lunar New Year banquets in Chinese restaurants seating hundreds, Diwali parties in Cornell, and weddings in Unionville’s heritage streets. We bring a booth that suits each of them.
Tech & corporate events
Markham’s technology, finance and life-science companies host some of the GTA’s most polished corporate events: hackathons, product launches, client summits and year-end parties in hotel conference centres and on company campuses. These hosts want an experience that feels modern and gives them something useful afterwards.
- AI add-on (works with any booth): automatic retouching and background replacement produce polished portraits that employees happily use as profile pictures, with your brand in the frame.
- 360 Video Booth: branded slow-motion clips for internal comms and social channels.
- Data-friendly sharing: guests receive their images by QR code or email.
- Step & repeat: a logo wall for launches and award nights.
See our corporate events page for activation ideas.
Lunar New Year & banquet celebrations
Markham’s Chinese banquet restaurants are the centre of countless celebrations: Lunar New Year dinners, weddings, 100-day baby celebrations and milestone birthdays for grandparents. Here’s how we style them:
- Red, gold or rose-gold shimmer backdrops
- Templates featuring the zodiac animal of the year, or double-happiness designs for weddings
- Props suited to the occasion, from lanterns to fans
- Plenty of prints, because every table wants a copy to take home
Unionville, Main Street & heritage venues
Unionville’s historic Main Street, with its restored buildings, millpond and patios, is one of the most charming places in York Region for an intimate wedding or a summer celebration. Smaller venues here call for a compact, beautiful booth. The Classic Photo Booth or the Wooden Mirror Photo Booth with a floral or greenery backdrop fits the heritage setting perfectly.
Golf course and country club weddings
Markham’s golf venues host elegant weddings with sweeping views. The Mirror Photo Booth brings polish to the ballroom, and the Audio Guest Book captures heartfelt messages from guests. See weddings.
Diwali, Eid and family celebrations
Markham’s South Asian, Tamil, Filipino and Persian communities celebrate year-round in community centres, banquet halls and family homes in Cornell, Berczy Village and Wismer. Bright florals, marigold palettes and festive props make the photos glow. For kids’ birthdays, a balloon garland backdrop is always a hit. See birthday parties.
Planning checklist for a Markham corporate activation
Define the goal
Is it employee engagement, social reach or lead capture? It shapes which booth we recommend.
Send brand assets early
Logos (vector files), brand colours, fonts and any campaign hashtag.
Confirm the space
Lobbies, atriums and conference foyers work well. We’ll need a standard outlet and room for a short line.
Check security and access
Many campuses need vendor registration or a certificate of insurance before load-in. We’re fully insured and can provide a certificate of insurance on request.
Plan the follow-up
Decide where the gallery link will be shared afterwards: your intranet, a newsletter or social channels.

Which photo booth suits your Markham event?
Markham events range from tech conferences to family banquets. Here is where each booth fits.
Planning tip for Markham: company events here often run on tight agendas, so we set the booth up before registration opens and keep the line short with a fast print layout. For banquet halls and family celebrations, we can design a bilingual template in Chinese, Tamil, Hindi or another language with English, and match it to your colours. If guests will arrive in waves, a booth near the entrance or the dessert table gets the most use.

Markham booth questions
Can the booth carry our company branding?
Yes. Branded templates, overlays, start screens and step & repeat walls are available. Send us your logo and brand colours and we’ll design around them.
Is the AI add-on suitable for a professional event?
Very. The default retouching is subtle and natural, so portraits look professional rather than filtered.
Can you set up in a restaurant banquet room?
Yes. We just need a spot near an outlet, ideally close to the dance floor or the stage. We’ll confirm placement with the restaurant beforehand.
Can we have prints and digital copies at the same event?
Yes. Print booths include real unlimited instant prints, and guests can also send digital copies to themselves.
Can you set up at a Markham conference hotel?
Yes. Hotel ballrooms and conference rooms work well. We coordinate timing, load-in and power with the hotel's event team.
Do you set up in Unionville restaurants and private dining rooms?
Yes. Smaller rooms suit the Classic booth. Most booths need about 8 x 10 ft (the Mirror and Wooden Mirror booths need about 10 x 10 ft) and a standard outlet.
Can the template include Chinese characters or another language?
Yes. We can design a custom template with your names, date and text in any language. Just send us the exact wording.
Which booth suits a Lunar New Year or company celebration?
A Mirror or Classic booth with a red-and-gold template and props works beautifully, and every guest takes home a print.
Can you set up outdoors at a Markham park or museum?
Yes, under a tent or covered area that protects the booth from rain and direct sun, on level ground with power nearby.
Is there a travel fee for Markham?
No travel fee on most booths. Only the Drop-off Selfie Photobooth, which we deliver and set up, has a travel fee.
How much space does the booth need?
About 8 by 10 feet for the booth, the backdrop and a short line, plus one standard outlet. The 360 needs a little more.
How long does setup take?
Usually 45 to 60 minutes. We arrive early, so setup is done before guests come in, and it does not count toward your booked hours.
How far ahead should we book?
As soon as you have a date. Lunar New Year, wedding Saturdays and December fill first, and a 50% deposit holds your date.
What affects the cost of a photo booth in Markham?
