New service in Toronto and the GTA
The matchmaking photo booth, built for Toronto.
Guests answer ten quick questions on their phone, step in for three frames, and walk out with two photo strips: their own, and their most compatible match in the room. Made for singles nights, speed dating, bar pop-ups and brand activations.
Rentals across Ontario and Montreal, run by the team behind thousands of events a year.

What is a matchmaking photo booth?
A matchmaking photo booth is a photo booth that pairs guests by compatibility. Each guest completes a short questionnaire on their phone, takes their photos, and receives two prints: their own strip and the strip of their most compatible match, identified by first name. PhotoboothTO rents matchmaking photo booths for singles events, speed dating nights, venue pop-ups and brand activations in Toronto and across Ontario.
~4,000
people tried the viral matchmaking booth in New York City within weeks of launch in summer 2026. Toronto gets its own, at your event.
How the matchmaking photo booth works
Four steps, about three minutes per guest. Our attendant runs the booth; your guests do the flirting.
-
1
Scan and answer
Guests scan a QR code and answer ten questions written for your crowd, on values, lifestyle and what they want. It takes about 90 seconds.
-
2
Step into the booth
Enter a code at the booth and pose for three frames. Our attendant keeps the line moving and the lighting flattering.
-
3
Two strips print
One strip is yours. The second shows your most compatible match and their first name. Nothing else.
-
4
Go find your match
At an event, your match is somewhere in the room. On the pop-up series, they could be anywhere in Toronto.
Matchmaking photo booth formats for every kind of event
Speed dating photo booth
Planning a speed dating night? Guests complete the questionnaire when they check in, so the booth already knows the room before the first round. Use matches to seat the first rotation, run a countdown reveal at the halfway mark, or send everyone to find their strip-mate during the mixer. Every guest leaves with a print, even if the night doesn't end in a second date.
Best for event organizers, dating hosts and venues
Singles event photo booth for Toronto venues
Bars, restaurants, run clubs, galleries, rooftops and campus events: if you're hosting singles in Toronto, the booth gives people a reason to come and a reason to talk once they're there. It fits in a corner, needs one outlet, and our attendant handles setup, the line and teardown.
Best for bars, restaurants, BIAs and community hosts
Brand activation matchmaking booth
Match guests to a flavour, a product, a destination or each other. Branded strips, opt-in lead capture and a live data dashboard turn a fun moment into campaign results.
Best for brands, agencies and product launches
Friend and networking mode
Romance off. Guests are matched on work style and interests, then sent to find their new colleague, teammate or run buddy.
Best for conferences, offsites, campuses and clubs
Why our matchmaking booth is different
Street booths match you with anyone who ever sat there, then leave you to find them. At a PhotoboothTO event, the match pool can be the room you're standing in.
Your match can be in the room
Event mode matches only tonight's guests, so the search takes minutes, not months.
Opt-in Instagram handles
Guests can choose to print their Instagram handle. No phone numbers or last names are ever printed.
Every orientation, plus friend matches
Guests set who they want to meet. If the room is uneven, extra guests get a friend match instead of nothing.
A matchmaking agent built for your event
Our own AI matchmaking agent is tuned for every booking: your questions, your crowd, your match rules. A run club night and a gallery opening shouldn't match people the same way.
Your brand on every strip
Custom strip design and booth wrap by our in-house design team, plus reaction clips for your socials.

What is a matchmaking photo booth?
A photo booth that pairs guests by compatibility. Each guest answers a short questionnaire, takes photos, and receives two strips: their own and their best match's, labelled with a first name only.
How does the matching work?
Guests answer ten questions about values, lifestyle and what they're looking for. Our own AI matchmaking agent, personalized for each event, compares everyone in the pool and pairs each guest with the person whose answers fit theirs best.
Do matches get each other's contact details?
No. Only a first name and photos print. Guests can opt in to add an Instagram handle to their strip; phone numbers and last names are never shared.
Can we use it for a speed dating event?
Yes. Guests complete the quiz at check-in and you can use the matches to seat the first round, run a mid-event countdown reveal, or kick off the mixer.
Does it work for LGBTQ+ singles?
Yes. Guests choose who they want to be matched with, and the matching respects every orientation. LGBTQ+-only nights can be set up on request.
What if the guest numbers are uneven?
Guests who can't be paired romantically receive a friend match, so everyone leaves with two strips.
How much does a matchmaking photo booth cost in Toronto?
Singles night packages are $1,295 for three hours and up to 120 guests, with an attendant. Brand activations start at $3,950 per day. Selected venues can host a pop-up series stop for free, with guests paying $15 a session.
Where do you operate?
Toronto and the GTA, plus the rest of Ontario and Montreal with our own team. Other provinces are available through our partner network.
Can the booth be branded for our company?
Yes. We design the strip, questionnaire and booth wrap, and can match guests to your products instead of each other.
