Why PicShots fits
A safer local guide, without pretending to be venue-affiliated

Ballroom venues nearly always have screens and projectors. The QR code can be displayed on the welcome slide deck, on signage near the foyer, and printed on table cards.
No app install for hotel guests
Half your guest list is already exhausted from check-in and travel. A scan-and-shoot browser flow is the only camera setup that consistently works for everyone.
Bulk download for the album
Hotel weddings usually pair PicShots with a professional photographer. After the event, download the full ZIP and pass it to your editor for inclusion in the album.
Setup tips
QR setup for King West events
1 Print the QR on table cards
Slot the QR next to the menu or favour at every table — couples who do this collect 3–5× more uploads than a single foyer QR.
2 Display the QR on the welcome screen
Hotel ballrooms nearly always have an LED screen near the entrance. Ask the AV team to loop your QR slide during cocktails.
3 Mention it once at the speeches
A 10-second MC mention before dinner doubles uploads on average. Frame it as 'help us collect every angle of the night'.
4 Mention bilingual hosting if it applies
Toronto weddings often blend two cultural traditions — a short note on the QR card that the gallery is private until reveal raises participation across both sides.
5 King West placement tip
Place QR cards near the bar and guestbook because King West events often use open social layouts.
