Burlington, Ontario
Aura is based in Burlington. The booth lives about ten minutes from most of the venues on this page, so there is no travel fee and no early start to worry about.
Attendant included Unlimited prints Travel included
We started Aura in Burlington and it is still where the van goes home at night. That means two practical things for you. There is no travel fee anywhere in the city, and if something goes sideways we are twenty minutes away instead of two hours.
Most Burlington bookings are weddings at the waterfront, corporate nights at the convention centre, and birthdays in someone's backyard off New Street. The kit is the same for all three: an open-air booth, a DSLR with studio strobes, a clean white backdrop, a prop table and one of us running it.
Pricing in Burlington is the pricing everywhere else. Essential is $550 for 2 hours, Signature is $650 for 3 hours and is what most weddings book, Ultimate is $800 for 4 hours. An extra hour is $150. All plus HST.
Venues we know
Real venues in and around Burlington where an open-air booth fits comfortably.
If your Burlington venue is not on this list, send it anyway. We have worked in most rooms in this city and we will tell you straight away whether the corner you are thinking of will fit a booth.
Parking and load-in. Most Burlington venues let us pull up to a side door. Downtown around Brant Street and the Performing Arts Centre is tighter, so we arrive earlier and cart the kit in. Either way, setup is done before guests arrive.
Outdoor events. Backyard parties along Lakeshore and in Roseland are common in July and August. We need shelter, shade and an outlet within 25 feet. A tent or a covered patio is enough.
Timing. Burlington receptions usually want the booth open from the end of dinner through the first hour of dancing. That is the 3 hour Signature package more often than not.

What arrives
The same kit whatever the venue and whatever the length you book.
A DSLR with studio strobes, not a tablet and a ring light. Skin looks like skin, and a dark room stops being a problem.
2x6 strips as fast as guests can take them, 4x6 prints if you prefer the bigger format. Printed on proper photo stock in about ten seconds.
Guests send their photos, GIFs and boomerangs to their own phone by text, email or QR code before they leave the booth.
Someone from Aura runs the booth the whole time, keeps the line moving and helps guests who have never used one.
We design the strip and the start screen around your names, date, colours or logo, and send a proof before the event.
We arrive about an hour early and pack down after. None of it counts against your booth hours.
