"I had a great experience with PBG from the start. They were one of the easiest vendors I worked with for my wedding. Their clear, constant communication made the entire process so simple, and our photos came out beautifully."
"Overall they did a great job. The white booth with props came out perfectly. It had that added vibe to the party. They were easy to talk to and followed instructions well."
"PBG came to my 30th birthday party and did a fantastic job. From requesting a quote to processing all the logistics to designing my template and finally the day of the event, everything went smoothly."

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 Irvine 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 Irvine ZIPs (92602, 92603, 92604, 92606, 92612, 92614...). 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.
Irvine Spectrum is Orange County's premier entertainment and shopping destination, featuring the iconic Giant Wheel and endless event possibilities.
Woodbridge is Irvine's beloved lake community, featuring two picturesque lakes, abundant parks, and a strong sense of neighborhood.
Turtle Rock is one of Irvine's most prestigious neighborhoods, nestled against the foothills near UC Irvine with stunning views.
Northwood is a family-friendly Irvine community known for excellent schools, beautiful parks, and active community life.
The Great Park neighborhood surrounds Orange County Great Park, offering residents direct access to the iconic balloon, sports facilities, and cultural venues.
Quail Hill is a scenic Irvine community with beautiful trails, parks, and family-friendly amenities.
Irvine sits at the center of Orange County's tech and finance corridor, and the event mix on a Saturday in Spectrum is unlike anything inland — a Series-B kickoff at a Spectrum office tower, a 200-guest Indian wedding at the Hotel Irvine ballroom, and a quinceañera in Woodbridge all running the same weekend. Each calls for a different booth voice.
We've shot Irvine events since 2020, and the patterns are clear: the Hotel Irvine ballroom rewards a Mirror or Glam booth that complements the room's contemporary palette; Oak Creek Golf Club and Strawberry Farms golf-course weddings are dominated by open-air Classic setups with sequin or floral backdrops keyed to Irvine's warm-weather palette; and corporate events at Irvine Spectrum Center office towers want logo-locked templates and live hashtag aggregation pulled into the booth screen for the post-event recap deck.
What sets Irvine apart from neighboring cities is timeline rigor. Irvine planners — corporate or family — usually run a tighter schedule than Orange County average. We've adjusted: setups are scoped for shorter pre-event windows, attendants come briefed on the run-of-show, and templates are approved before the day rather than rebuilt on-site.
Booking lead time: Spectrum corporate events typically lock the booth 4-8 weeks out. Hotel Irvine and Marriott weddings book 6-9 months ahead — peak Saturdays in May and October fill first. Permits: indoor venue events do not require city permits. Outdoor Great Park events go through Orange County Great Park Corporation; we carry the standard event rider on file. Travel: Irvine sits inside our standard service area — no travel fees for any address inside city limits, including Quail Hill, Turtle Rock, Northwood, Woodbridge, and the Spectrum / Great Park master-planned communities.

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. We serve every Irvine ZIP — Spectrum, Woodbridge, Turtle Rock, Northwood, Quail Hill, Great Park, University Park, and the newer Cypress Village and Eastwood Village master-planned communities. There are no travel fees inside Irvine city limits regardless of neighborhood.
For Spectrum-area corporate events, the 360 Photo Booth wins — it produces shareable cinematic clips that carry the company logo into employees' Instagram and TikTok feeds the same evening. For executive-grade galas at Hotel Irvine or the Irvine Marriott, the Glam Booth (B&W studio portraits) and Mirror Booth (interactive 4×6 prints) are the two we deploy most often.
Most Irvine weddings book the photo booth 6-9 months ahead. Saturdays in peak wedding season (April-October) at Oak Creek, Strawberry Farms, and Hotel Irvine fill first — if your date is locked, reach out as soon as you have your venue confirmed. Mid-week and off-peak weekend dates have more flexibility.
Yes. We regularly run quinceañeras, Indian weddings, Korean wedding receptions, Chinese New Year celebrations, and Persian-American galas across Irvine's diverse neighborhoods. Spanish-speaking attendants are available on request at no extra fee, and templates can be designed in any script the client provides.
Photo booth rental pricing from The Photo Booth Guy in Irvine ranges from $425 on the lower end to $1,050 for more comprehensive packages, giving event planners in Orange County a flexible range of options depending on their budget and event scale. The base-level packages are designed to cover the essentials needed for a successful event, while higher-tier packages typically include additional features, extended rental hours, or enhanced customization options that make the experience feel more tailored to the occasion. Because the company does not publish a one-size-fits-all package list, the best way for Irvine hosts to understand exactly what is included at each price point is to call The Photo Booth Guy directly at (909) 570-1988. Their team can walk you through what fits your guest count, venue layout, and event type, ensuring you pay for what you actually need rather than extras that will go unused. Pricing transparency is part of why the company maintains such a strong review rating across hundreds of bookings.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to Irvine and throughout Orange County to serve clients across the region. The distance between Chino and Irvine is manageable along the 91 and 55 corridors, making the company a practical choice for Orange County events without the logistical complications that sometimes come with booking vendors from further away. For events outside the standard service area or for destination-style gatherings that require travel beyond Southern California, it is worth reaching out directly to discuss availability and any applicable travel considerations. The team can be reached at (909) 570-1988 to talk through the specifics of your location, confirm whether your event falls within their regular coverage zone, and work out any arrangements needed for multi-venue or out-of-area bookings. The Photo Booth Guy's broad experience across Southern California means they are comfortable navigating different geographic contexts while still delivering consistent service.
Booking The Photo Booth Guy for an Irvine event is straightforward, and the team recommends reaching out as early as possible to secure your date, particularly for weddings and large corporate events where popular weekends can fill up months in advance. With a 4.9-star rating across more than 750 reviews, the company stays in consistent demand throughout Orange County, and last-minute availability is not always guaranteed. To start the booking process, call (909) 570-1988 and speak with a team member who can confirm availability for your date, walk you through package options in the $425 to $1,050 range, and answer any questions about what to expect on the day of your event. For weddings specifically, booking six to twelve months ahead is a practical standard, while corporate events and private parties with more flexible timelines may have more options closer to the event date. The Photo Booth Guy aims to make the reservation process clear and pressure-free so you can move forward with confidence.
