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 Manhattan Beach 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 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.

Saturdays in Manhattan Beach fill up 4–8 weeks out and peak wedding season (April–October) often books 3–6 months in advance. If you have a specific date in mind, lock it in as early as possible. We can sometimes accommodate last-minute requests with 1–2 weeks notice.

Photo booth rental pricing from The Photo Booth Guy ranges from $425 to $1,050, giving clients in Manhattan Beach a range of options to match different budgets and event scopes. The lower end of that range typically covers a foundational package suited to shorter gatherings or more intimate events, while the upper end reflects more comprehensive setups that may include extended rental time, premium props, custom branding, or enhanced print options. Because specific package tiers and inclusions are tailored to each event, the best way to understand exactly what falls into a base package versus an upgraded experience is to call (909) 570-1988 and speak with the team directly. They can walk you through what is available for your Manhattan Beach event date and help you build a package that fits both your vision and your budget without overcommitting to services you do not need.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to serve clients across Southern California, including Manhattan Beach and the wider Los Angeles County region. Manhattan Beach sits roughly 40 to 50 miles west of Chino, a distance the team routinely covers to deliver service to clients in this coastal community. For events outside the immediate service area or in more distant destinations, it is worth confirming any applicable travel considerations directly with the company. If you are coordinating a multi-venue corporate event or a destination celebration that extends beyond the Los Angeles metro, the team can discuss logistics and any associated travel arrangements when you call (909) 570-1988. They aim to make geographic planning as straightforward as possible so distance does not become an obstacle to booking the experience you have in mind.
Booking a photo booth rental from The Photo Booth Guy starts with a simple phone call to (909) 570-1988, where a team member can discuss your Manhattan Beach event, confirm date availability, and help you select the right package from their $425 to $1,050 range. For weddings and larger corporate events in the Los Angeles County area, reaching out several months in advance is a smart move, as popular dates fill quickly, particularly during peak wedding season and the holiday corporate event stretch at the end of the year. Smaller gatherings may have more flexibility, but earlier is always better when you have a firm date in mind. The team's 4.9-star rating across 750-plus reviews reflects a consistent and communicative booking process, so clients in Manhattan Beach can expect clear information and responsive follow-up from the first conversation through the day of the event.
