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 Downey room. We arrive knowing where the outlets are, which freight elevator to use, and how to load in without breaking step.

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.

Photo booth rental pricing from The Photo Booth Guy ranges from $425 on the lower end up to $1,050 for more comprehensive packages, giving clients in Downey a range of options depending on the scale and style of their event. The lower-tier packages are well-suited for shorter events or smaller guest counts, while the higher-end packages typically include additional hours, premium features, or enhanced print and digital options. Because the company does not publish a rigid itemized package list publicly, the best approach is to call (909) 570-1988 and describe your event so they can recommend the right fit. Pricing can vary based on event duration, travel distance to your Downey venue, and any add-ons you select. Booking early also helps lock in your preferred date, especially during peak wedding and holiday seasons when demand across Los Angeles County tends to run high. The Photo Booth Guy's transparent pricing range makes it easy to budget before you even make the first call.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to Downey for events throughout Los Angeles County. The drive between Chino and Downey is manageable, and the company is accustomed to servicing clients across a broad geographic range in Southern California. For events located outside the immediate service area or that involve multiple locations, it is worth discussing travel logistics directly with the team. Depending on the distance involved, a travel fee may apply, and for destination events or multi-city bookings, the company can walk you through what that coordination looks like. The best way to get accurate travel details for your specific Downey event is to call (909) 570-1988 and share your venue address and event date. The Photo Booth Guy's willingness to travel to serve Los Angeles County clients has contributed to their broad review base and strong reputation outside of their home base in San Bernardino County.
Booking a photo booth from The Photo Booth Guy for a Downey event starts with a simple phone call to (909) 570-1988. From there, the team will ask about your event date, venue, expected guest count, and any specific features you have in mind so they can match you with the right package within their $425 to $1,050 pricing range. For weddings and large corporate events in the Los Angeles County area, booking several months in advance is strongly recommended, particularly for dates that fall during the spring and fall wedding seasons or around major holidays when availability tightens quickly. Smaller or more flexible events may have more room to book closer to the date, but earlier is always safer. The Photo Booth Guy's 4.9-star rating from more than 750 reviewers suggests a booking process that clients consistently find straightforward and responsive. Once your date is confirmed, the team handles the logistical details so you can focus on the rest of your event planning.
