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. Every template ships at proof stage 5 days 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 Long Beach room. We arrive knowing where the outlets are, which freight elevator to use, and how to load in without breaking step.

Same setup, same crew, same response time across all Long Beach ZIPs (90801, 90802, 90803, 90804, 90805, 90806...). If your venue has a 110V outlet and a 10×10 ft footprint, we're set up.
Downtown Long Beach has transformed into a vibrant urban core with rooftop venues, converted loft spaces, waterfront restaurants, and the energy of a city embracing its renaissance.
The Queen Mary is one of Southern California's most iconic wedding and event venues—a historic ocean liner permanently moored in Long Beach harbor offering Art Deco grandeur and maritime romance.
Belmont Shore offers Long Beach's quintessential beach community charm, with 2nd Street's shops and restaurants, beautiful Belmont Pier, and a walkable neighborhood atmosphere perfect for casual elegant celebrations.
Naples Island is Long Beach's most romantic neighborhood, where Venetian-style canals wind past beautiful homes and gondola rides set the scene for intimate celebrations.
Long Beach events cluster around the water and the convention corridor. Waterfront weddings and milestone parties fill the Queen Mary, the Aquarium of the Pacific, and the downtown hotels along the harbor; the Long Beach Convention Center and the arena drive a steady corporate and trade-show calendar; and neighborhood celebrations run through Belmont Shore, the Naples canals, and the historic homes of the city's older districts.
The setting shapes the setup. Harbor-view receptions and Queen Mary ballrooms take the Mirror Booth and Glam Booth; open-air waterfront and Belmont Shore backyard events run the Classic Booth with a windbreak for the ocean breeze; convention-center activations lean on the 360 Booth for social-ready video. Salt air and coastal wind get planned for, not discovered on-site.
Downtown Long Beach and the waterfront run on paid structures and reserved load-in — parking and dock access get coordinated with the venue ahead of time. We arrive early to stage off the main drives, and for outdoor harbor events we bring weighted, wind-ready setups so the booth holds up from cocktail hour through the last dance.
The Queen Mary, Aquarium, and Convention Center require a certificate of insurance and scheduled load-in — we handle the COI and confirm the dock window in advance. Downtown parking is structure-only, so we plan gear transport and staging around it.
Waterfront wind is the variable that catches inland vendors out. We bring weighted stands and windbreak walls to every harbor and Belmont Shore booking so the open-air booth stays steady all night.
From intimate celebrations to corporate gatherings — we bring the fun.

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 144+ 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 in the Long Beach area starts at $425 and reaches up to $1,050 depending on the package and event needs. That range gives clients flexibility whether they are planning a small birthday party or a large corporate event with hundreds of guests. Entry-level packages typically cover the essentials needed to run a successful booth experience, while higher-tier options may include additional time, enhanced print or digital features, customized templates, or other add-ons that make the booth feel more tailored to the event. Because services offered can vary by package, The Photo Booth Guy recommends connecting directly to discuss exactly what fits your budget and vision. To get an accurate quote for your Long Beach event, call (909) 570-1988 and have your event date, location, and rough guest count ready. Pricing may also vary based on travel distance from the Chino headquarters to your Long Beach venue, so confirming the full cost upfront ensures there are no surprises on the day of your event.
The Photo Booth Guy is based in Chino, California, and regularly travels to serve clients throughout the greater Los Angeles County region, including Long Beach. Because Long Beach sits outside the immediate Chino area, travel logistics and any applicable fees are worth discussing upfront. The team at The Photo Booth Guy handles out-of-area events regularly and can give you a clear picture of what to expect regarding travel costs when you call (909) 570-1988. For destination events, multi-venue corporate functions, or weddings held in or around Long Beach, the company works with clients to coordinate timing, equipment transport, and setup so everything arrives on schedule. The Photo Booth Guy understands that events outside the home base require extra planning on both sides, and the team approaches those bookings with the same level of care as local ones. If you are organizing an event in Long Beach and are unsure whether travel to your specific location is covered, a quick phone call will give you the details you need to move forward with confidence.
Booking The Photo Booth Guy for a Long Beach event is straightforward — call (909) 570-1988 to start the conversation. During that initial contact, the team will walk you through available packages in the $425 to $1,050 range, confirm availability for your date, and help you figure out which setup makes the most sense for your venue and guest count. For weddings and larger corporate events, booking as early as possible is strongly recommended. Popular dates in the Long Beach area fill up quickly, especially during spring and fall wedding seasons and around major holidays. A general rule of thumb is to reach out at least three to six months in advance for weddings or events with a fixed date that cannot move. Smaller or more flexible gatherings may have more lead time options, but earlier is always better. Once details are confirmed, the company will typically outline what happens next in terms of deposits, final payment, and day-of logistics. The Photo Booth Guy has earned its 4.9-star rating by keeping the process simple and communicative from first contact through the last photo printed at your event.
