    Backdrop rental

    Backdrop rental in Toronto: the wall every guest photographs

    Backdrop rental in Toronto is the quickest way to give a party, a wedding reception or a corporate room one finished spot for photos. Event Creation rents the backdrop, builds it on its own frame at your venue and takes it down afterwards, so nothing is taped to the wall and nothing has to be stored. The range covers shimmer and sequin walls, silk flower walls, boxwood green walls, draped backdrops, full balloon walls, themed arched panels for kids and branded panels for corporate events.

    We work from our studio at 126 Willowdale Ave in North York and install in homes, condo party rooms, banquet halls, restaurants, hotels, offices and backyards across Toronto and the GTA. Every rental comes with the frame, the panel, delivery and installation; balloons, florals, neon signs and marquee numbers are added on top in your colours.

    Starting prices listed on this website: a shimmer wall panel at $120, a flower wall rented on its own at $120, a green wall at $90, a balloon wall from $380 and a full silk flower wall installation from $950. Draped and branded backdrops are quoted in writing from your photo of the space.

    Backdrop types

    Event backdrops we rent, and the events each one suits

    Shimmer and sequin walls

    Gold, silver, rose gold, black or red sequin panels that move and catch flash. The usual choice for evening birthdays, engagements, Sweet 16s, galas and New Year’s Eve. Rented on their own or with a balloon garland on one or both sides.

    Flower walls and floral backdrops

    Silk rose and hydrangea walls in white, blush, blue or mixed colours, with a neon sign or a name in the centre. The standard backdrop for weddings, bridal showers and baby showers; see flower wall rental for the colours and sizes.

    Green walls

    Boxwood-style panels for a fresh, daytime look. They carry a neon sign, a wood sign or a garland well and suit showers, first birthdays and garden parties.

    Draped backdrops

    White, blush, black or red fabric drapes on a frame, dressed with fairy lights, florals on urns, candelabras or balloon clusters. Draping suits ceremonies, head tables, stages and the formal end of a reception.

    Balloon walls and balloon backdrops

    A wall built entirely from balloons, or a panel with a balloon design around it. Bold, colourful and the pick for kids’ parties, graduations and milestone birthdays; the designs and prices are on balloon backdrops.

    Themed arched panels

    Fluted, round and arched panels painted or printed to a theme in our own artwork: jungle, space, hot-air balloons, princess castles, sneakers, fairy gardens and more, with the child’s name and age.

    Branded and step-and-repeat panels

    A straight-edged frame with your logo panel, or a balloon wall in brand colours with the logo in the centre, for launches, award nights and media walls at corporate events.

    By occasion

    Wedding, birthday, party and photo backdrop rental

    Wedding backdrop rental

    For a ceremony, a draped arch or a flower arch frames the couple; for the reception, a flower wall or a draped backdrop with the couple’s initials sits behind the head table or the photo corner. Wedding backdrops are planned with the venue’s ceiling height and lighting in mind; see wedding decoration for the rest of the room.

    Birthday backdrop rental

    Birthday backdrops are usually a shimmer wall or an arched panel with a garland in the party colours, a Happy Birthday neon and marquee numbers for a milestone birthday. For kids, the panel is themed and sized to sit behind the cake table.

    Photo backdrop rental

    A photo backdrop is any of the walls above placed where the light works, with three feet of clear floor in front. Put a photo booth or a 360 video booth in front of it and every print and clip carries the same wall.

    Not sure which backdrop suits the room?

    Send a photo of the wall with the ceiling in the frame. We reply with the backdrop that fits, the size and a starting price.

    Fitting the venue

    Sizing and placing a rental backdrop in Toronto venues

    Most rental backdrops are 6.6 ft wide and 5 to 6.6 ft tall. The shorter size clears the eight-foot ceilings of condo party rooms and basements in North York, Scarborough and downtown Toronto; the taller size suits banquet halls and hotel rooms in Vaughan, Markham and Mississauga. For a stage, a head table or a media wall, panels are joined to 12 or 16 ft and quoted as one piece.

    Every backdrop stands on its own weighted frame, so nothing is attached to the venue’s walls. We place it where the light helps: away from a window directly behind it, with three feet of clear floor in front for guests and room at one side for a photographer or a booth. A backdrop behind the cake table is sized to frame a 6 ft table with space for a balloon cluster at each end.

    Venues with low ceilings, narrow doors or stairs are common in Toronto; tell us about access and we bring the panel sizes that fit. Our guide to decorating low-ceiling Toronto venues covers the usual rooms.

    Corporate

    Backdrops for corporate events, launches and award nights

    For corporate events, the request is usually a branded panel, a balloon wall in brand colours with the logo in the centre, or a sequin wall on a stage under the screen. Send the brand guide and the logo files; we match the colours, place the artwork and send a proof before the event. A step-and-repeat panel with a red carpet and stanchions works for galas and award ceremonies, product launches, grand openings, appreciation events and team building events.

    A corporate photo booth in front of the branded backdrop puts the logo on every print and clip guests share.

    How booking works

    From the first photo to takedown

    1. Share the event

      Occasion, date, venue, colours or theme, and a photo of the wall with the ceiling in the frame.

    2. Choose a backdrop

      Shimmer, flower, green, draped, balloon, themed or branded, with the add-ons that fit.

    3. Quote

      One written quote with the size, delivery, setup time and takedown.

    4. Build

      We deliver, build and dress the backdrop on site before guests arrive.

    5. Takedown

      We remove the panel, the frame and the decor at the agreed time.

    Before you book

    What helps us quote a backdrop in one reply

    Send what you know; we fill in the rest.

    • How wide is the spot, and how high is the ceiling there?
    • Indoors or outdoors, and is there a window behind the spot?
    • Will a cake table, a head table or a photo booth sit in front of it?
    • Colours or a theme, plus any name, initials or logo to include.
    • Access: elevator, stairs, loading dock and the time we can arrive.
    • Does the venue need the room cleared the same night?

    Outdoors

    Outdoor backdrop rental: backyards, patios and waterfront venues

    Outdoor backdrops use heavier weighted bases, air-filled balloons and drapes tied at the hem. We avoid full afternoon sun on dark sequin panels, which heat up and glare in photos, and ask about wind, shade and a sheltered fallback position before confirming. Grass takes stakes; decks and pavement take weights.

    For a backyard ceremony or a lakeside deck, a draped wooden arch or a flower arch stands up to a breeze better than a tall flat panel. For a tent, the backdrop goes against the back wall of the tent, away from the entrance. Our guide to planning an outdoor party in Toronto covers permits, power and weather.

    Questions

    Backdrop rental in Toronto: frequently asked questions

    Cost, choosing, setup and booking questions people ask before renting a backdrop.

    Cost

    How much does it cost to rent a backdrop in Toronto?

    On this website a shimmer wall panel is listed at $120, a flower wall rented on its own at $120, a green wall at $90, a balloon wall from $380, a shimmer wall with balloons from $420 and a full silk flower wall installation from $950. Draped, branded and fresh floral backdrops are quoted in writing from a photo of your space.

    How much do people charge for a backdrop with setup included?

    Our listed starting prices for the balloon wall, the shimmer wall with balloons and the green wall include delivery and installation in Toronto and the GTA. Takedown, distance and late-night timing are confirmed in the written quote.

    How much would a backdrop cost for a birthday party?

    For a home birthday, a shimmer panel on its own is listed at $120 and a shimmer wall with a balloon garland from $420. Add a Happy Birthday neon or a custom name balloon from $35 each, as listed on this website.

    Is it cheaper to rent a backdrop or to buy one?

    For one event, renting is usually cheaper once you count the frame, the panel, delivery and the time to build and store it. Buying only pays off if you host the same type of event several times a year; our guide on renting versus buying event decorations walks through the numbers.

    Do you rent backdrop stands without the panel?

    The frame comes with every backdrop we rent. We do not rent stands on their own; if you have your own panel or drapes, ask and we will tell you what fits our frames.

    Choosing

    Where can I rent an event backdrop in Toronto?

    Event Creation rents shimmer walls, flower walls, green walls, draped backdrops, balloon walls, themed panels and branded panels from our studio at 126 Willowdale Ave, North York, and installs them across Toronto and the GTA.

    Where do I get a backdrop from for a party if I do not want to build one?

    Rent it. A rental backdrop arrives built on its own frame, dressed in your colours, and leaves with us at the end, so there is nothing to assemble, transport or store.

    What is the difference between backdrop rental and a balloon backdrop?

    Backdrop rental covers every type of wall: shimmer, flower, green, draped, themed and branded panels, with or without balloons. A balloon backdrop is one of those types, built from balloons or framed by a balloon garland; its designs and prices are on our balloon backdrops page.

    Which backdrop works for a wedding?

    A flower wall or a draped backdrop with the couple’s initials behind the head table, and a draped or floral arch for the ceremony. Both photograph well in the soft lighting of a reception room.

    Which backdrop photographs well at a birthday party?

    A shimmer wall in gold, silver or black with a balloon garland reads clearly in phone photos and evening light. For kids, a themed arched panel in the party colours with the child’s name works best.

    Can I rent a photo backdrop for a photo booth?

    Yes. Any of our backdrops can stand behind a classic, mirror or 360 video booth. We leave three feet of clear floor in front and set the booth so every print and clip shows the wall.

    Do you rent step-and-repeat backdrops for corporate events?

    Yes. A straight-edged frame carries a logo panel, or a balloon wall is built in brand colours with the logo in the centre. Send the brand guide and the logo files and we send a proof before the event.

    Can you put a name, initials or a logo on the backdrop?

    Yes. Names and ages go on a neon sign or a statement balloon, initials on a draped backdrop as gold letters, and logos on a printed panel. Send the wording or the artwork with your inquiry.

    Do you have themed backdrops for kids?

    Yes, in our own artwork: jungle, space, hot-air balloons, under the sea, princess castles, dinosaurs, sneakers, fairy gardens and more. We match a favourite character’s colours and mood rather than printing the character.

    Setup

    Do you deliver and set up the backdrop?

    Yes. Delivery and installation are part of every backdrop rental. We build before guests arrive, dress the backdrop with the balloons, florals or signs you booked, and collect it at the agreed time.

    Does a rental backdrop damage the venue wall?

    No. Every backdrop stands on its own weighted frame, so there is no tape, hook or nail on the venue’s walls, and we can place it where the light works rather than where a hook happens to be.

    How big is a rental backdrop?

    Standard panels are 6.6 ft wide and 5 or 6.6 ft tall, which frames two to four people. For a stage or a head table, panels are joined to 12 or 16 ft.

    How much time do you need to set up a backdrop?

    A single backdrop with a garland or drapes takes about 60 to 90 minutes on site. A flower wall, a stage-width wall or a full room setup takes longer; we schedule the arrival with your venue.

    Can the backdrop be set up outdoors?

    Yes, with weighted bases, air-filled balloons and a sheltered spot. We ask about wind, shade and a backup indoor position before confirming an outdoor backdrop.

    Can the backdrop go behind the cake table or the head table?

    Yes, and those are the two most common spots. We size the backdrop to frame the table with room for a balloon cluster at each end.

    Can the backdrop stay up after the event for a late takedown?

    Yes, where the venue allows it. We agree the pick-up time when you book; same-night takedowns for venues that need the room cleared, and next-morning pick-ups where the room is free, are both noted in the quote.

    Booking and areas

    How far ahead should I book a backdrop rental?

    As soon as the date and venue are fixed. Spring and summer weekends and December fill first; for short-notice dates, call and we will tell you what is available.

    Can I rent a backdrop for one day?

    Yes. Most backdrop rentals are for the event day: we build before the event and take the backdrop down after it. Multi-day rentals for conferences and store displays are quoted separately.

    Which areas do you deliver backdrops to?

    Toronto, North York, Scarborough, Etobicoke, Mississauga, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Oakville and the rest of the GTA, from our studio in North York.

    More backdrop rental questions

    Which backdrops work for a wedding in Toronto?

    Couples usually choose a flower wall, rented on its own at $120, or a full silk floral installation from $950, often with a neon sign. See flower wall rental for the styles.

    Can you add a neon sign to a rental backdrop?

    Yes. A neon sign or a custom name balloon is listed at $35 each and can go on most of our backdrops.

    Do you rent balloon backdrops as well?

    Yes. A balloon wall starts at $380 and a shimmer wall with balloons at $420; see balloon backdrop rental.

    What backdrop works for a corporate event or a launch?

    A straight-edged frame with a logo panel, or a balloon wall in brand colours with the logo in the centre, sized for group photos; see corporate event decor.
