"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 Newport 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 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.

Saturdays in Newport 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 in the Newport Beach area ranges from approximately $425 to $1,050 depending on the package selected and the specific requirements of your event. The lower end of that range typically covers a foundational rental period suitable for smaller or shorter gatherings, while packages toward the higher end are structured for larger events, longer rental windows, or occasions that call for additional features and customization. Because the company serves Newport Beach from its Chino, California headquarters, it is worth confirming whether any travel fee applies to your specific venue when requesting a quote. To get an accurate breakdown of what each tier includes for your date and location, calling (909) 570-1988 or submitting an inquiry directly is the most reliable way to compare options side by side before committing to a package.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to Newport Beach and other cities throughout Orange County and the broader Southern California region. Newport Beach sits roughly 40 to 50 miles from the company's home base, a distance the team routinely covers for weddings, corporate events, and private parties in the area. If your event is located farther from Chino or involves a destination outside the standard service footprint, a travel fee may apply depending on the distance and logistics involved. The company is also able to discuss multi-city or destination event needs on a case-by-case basis. To confirm whether a travel fee applies to your specific Newport Beach venue or to ask about coverage for events in other parts of Southern California, reach out to the team directly at (909) 570-1988 for a clear and honest answer.
Booking a photo booth from The Photo Booth Guy for a Newport Beach event is straightforward, and the team encourages reaching out as early as possible since popular dates fill quickly. For weddings and large corporate events in Newport Beach and Orange County, securing your date several months in advance is advisable given the area's busy event calendar. The booking process typically starts with a conversation about your event date, venue, guest count, and any specific features you have in mind, followed by package selection and a deposit to hold your date. You can start that conversation by calling (909) 570-1988. The company's 4.9-star rating across more than 750 reviews reflects a consistent experience from initial inquiry through event day, so connecting with the team early gives you the best chance of locking in availability for your Newport Beach celebration.
