Three reasons your event runs without a hitch — every time.
SetupOur setup crew arrives 90 minutes before guests do. Every booth is calibrated, tested, and styled to the venue before the first guest walks in — so when the party starts, the booth doesn’t need a second of your attention.
TemplatesOur in-house designer builds your template from scratch using your colors, your monogram, and your event date. Your proof arrives at least 1 to 2 weeks before the event so you have time to refine. Zero stock layouts, zero compromise — every single strip carries your name.
ReliabilityCameras, printers, lighting, and laptops get a full diagnostic and tune-up every single week — not just the morning of your event. That’s how we’ve delivered 5,500+ events without a no-show. Reliability isn’t luck. It’s a schedule.
From hotel ballrooms to country club terraces to private estates — we've set up at every kind of Calabasas room. We arrive knowing where the outlets are, which freight elevator to use, and how to load in without breaking step.
Ranch/Winery
Same setup, same crew, same response time across all Calabasas ZIPs (91301, 91302). If your venue has a 110V outlet within 50 ft and 8×8 ft of floor space (10×10 ft for the 360), we're set up.
The Commons at Calabasas is the upscale outdoor shopping and dining destination.
Areas adjacent to Hidden Hills offer estate living with celebrity neighbors.
Calabasas events run on a different rhythm than the rest of the San Fernando Valley. The 91302 is one of the highest-income ZIP codes in California, and most events happen on private gated estates rather than public venues — Sweet 16s at hillside homes in The Oaks and Mountain View Estates, milestone birthdays at Calabasas Country Club, and intimate weddings at Saddlerock Ranch just north on Mulholland. The booth has to fit a household standard, not a venue standard.
Gated-community work has its own protocol. We arrive on the gate guest list 24 hours ahead, the truck is detailed before load-in, and the attendant arrives in formal attire — these are not optional details for the 91302. Templates are designed and approved by the host or planner before the event, the booth uses ambient LED only (no flash, no audio cues), and we run with a phone-only contact line so estate staff are not chasing a vendor through email during setup. The Glam Booth dominates the Calabasas mix because the editorial-luxury aesthetic — magazine-quality B&W studio portraits, real-time beauty filter, premium dye-sublimation paper — matches what hosts already expect from their photographer.
We also work the public-facing Calabasas calendar — corporate events at The Commons, anniversary parties at hillside restaurants, fundraisers and galas tied to the local school and synagogue calendars. These are higher-volume, lower-discretion bookings but the equipment standard does not change.
Booking lead time: private-estate events typically book 6-12 weeks ahead — the 91302 is a small market and date conflicts are real. Calabasas Country Club weddings book 9-12 months ahead for peak season. Gate access: The Oaks, Mountain View Estates, Hidden Hills (technically a separate municipality but adjacent), and the gated streets off Mulholland and Las Virgenes require advance gate-list submission with the property address, attendant name, vehicle plates, and arrival window. We collect this at booking and submit 24 hours ahead. NDAs: celebrity and high-profile estate work routinely includes a confidentiality rider — we sign whatever the planner provides at no charge. Travel: the 91301 and 91302 ZIP codes sit beyond our 30-mile free-travel zone, including West Calabasas, The Oaks, Mountain View Estates, and the Mulholland-corridor streets, so travel is $3 per mile past 30 miles (rounded up to the nearest $5) and is written into your proposal up front.

Nine years. 5,500+ events. Every booking still attended personally or by an attendant I trained.
I retired from the U.S. Marine Corps after a full career — seven years in aviation logistics, then years as a career recruiter. Along the way I earned three Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medals and a Navy Commendation Medal, all for performance. I started The Photo Booth Guy in 2017 because I couldn't find a photo booth operator in Southern California who treated every event the way I'd want my own wedding handled. So I built one. Every booking is owner-overseen. Every event ships with a uniformed on-site attendant — never a drop-off rental. We're a veteran-owned small business, fully insured, and accepted at every major venue in the Inland Empire.
Nine years in, we've delivered 5,500+ events and earned 619+ five-star reviews on Yelp plus 149+ on Google — and I still personally review every event the morning of. If you have a question before booking, call me directly at (909) 570-1988.

Yes. Gated-community work is part of our regular Calabasas mix. We submit the gate-access list 24 hours ahead with the attendant name, vehicle plate, and arrival window, the truck is detailed before load-in, and the attendant arrives in formal attire matching estate-staff standards.
The Glam Booth is the most-requested setup in the 91302 — its B&W studio portraits with real-time beauty filter and premium dye-sublimation prints match the editorial-luxury aesthetic that hosts already expect from their photographer. The Mirror Booth is a close second for events that want signature 4×6 prints with custom monograms.
Yes. Confidentiality riders, no-photo-of-host-without-permission rules, no social posts about the venue or guest list, and no portfolio use without explicit written approval are part of our standard Calabasas workflow. We sign whatever rider the planner provides at no charge.
Yes. For private-estate events we run on ambient LED lighting only, no flash bursts, and the booth software runs with audio prompts disabled. The attendant guides guests verbally instead. This is the default mode for celebrity and high-profile estate bookings.
The Photo Booth Guy offers photo booth rental packages in Calabasas ranging from $425 to $1,050, giving clients flexibility depending on the scope and style of their event. The lower end of that range typically covers a straightforward rental period suited to smaller or shorter events, while higher-tier packages accommodate larger gatherings, extended rental hours, or additional features and customizations. Because the company has not published a rigid itemized package list publicly, the best way to understand exactly what is included at each price point — and what optional upgrades are available — is to reach out directly. Clients in Calabasas can call (909) 570-1988 to discuss their specific event needs and get a quote tailored to their guest count, venue, and any special requests. Pricing may also vary based on travel distance from the company's Chino headquarters to the Calabasas event location, so it is worth asking about any applicable travel fees when requesting your quote.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to serve clients in Calabasas and across Los Angeles County. Calabasas sits roughly 40 to 50 miles from the company's home base, which places it well within the area the team routinely covers. Travel fees, if applicable, depend on the specific event location and distance, so clients in Calabasas should ask about any additional charges when requesting a quote. The Photo Booth Guy is also equipped to handle multi-city events and destination occasions beyond the immediate Calabasas area, making them a practical option for clients who need a consistent, professional photo booth experience across multiple locations or venues. To get clarity on travel coverage and any associated costs for your Calabasas event, call the team directly at (909) 570-1988. Providing your venue address upfront will help them give you an accurate, all-in quote with no surprises.
Booking a photo booth from The Photo Booth Guy for a Calabasas event starts with a simple phone call to (909) 570-1988. During that conversation, the team will gather details about your event date, venue, expected guest count, and any specific features or customizations you have in mind. From there, they can recommend the right package within their $425 to $1,050 pricing range and walk you through what is included. For weddings and larger corporate events in Calabasas, booking several months in advance is strongly recommended, particularly for dates during peak seasons like spring and fall when demand across Los Angeles County is highest. Popular Saturdays can fill quickly, so securing your date early protects your spot. Smaller or more flexible events may have more last-minute availability, but the earlier you reach out, the more options you will have. The Photo Booth Guy's 4.9-star reputation across 750-plus reviews reflects a booking and planning process that clients consistently find smooth and straightforward.
