"We are so grateful to PBG Entertainment! They generously provided a classic photo booth for our nonprofit's annual fundraiser, and they were fantastic to work with. The customer service was excellent."
"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."

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 Banning 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 Banning ZIPs (92220). If your venue has a 110V outlet and a 10×10 ft footprint, we're set up.
the Morongo Casino Resort and Spa anchors the corridor along Seminole Drive at the I-10, and the property runs corporate galas, tribal community events, and large weddings in the ballrooms upstairs. Loading dock access is on the back side of the resort and requires a vendor pass arranged through the events team a few days out.
Ramsey Street runs east-west through Banning's historic core, and the Banning Community Center handles most public-facing events, school awards nights, nonprofit dinners, and quinceañera receptions in the main hall. Street parking along Ramsey is tight on weekends, so we usually pull around to the rear lot and load through the kitchen door.
Sun Lakes Country Club is the dominant 55+ community on the west side of Banning, with a clubhouse, three pools, and a ballroom that hosts anniversary parties, holiday club mixers, and grandkid birthday dinners almost every weekend. The HOA gate requires a guest list submitted a day or two ahead, and we route the van to the clubhouse service entrance to stay clear of the cart paths.
East Banning sits between Sunset Avenue and the Morongo reservation line with a clear sightline up to Mount San Gorgonio. Bookings here lean toward backyard celebrations, graduations from Banning High, family reunions, and the occasional ranch-style wedding on a deeper lot.
West Banning runs along Highland Springs Avenue and shares most of its retail and venue options with neighboring Beaumont, including the shops and restaurants near the Beaumont Walmart corridor. Events here are typically family parties, baby showers, and engagement dinners hosted in private homes or the smaller banquet rooms along Highland Springs.
the Bench sits 3,500 feet above the city floor, and the country feel up here is real, with peach orchards, half-acre to twenty-acre parcels, horses and RVs in the side yards. Events tend to be ranch weddings, milestone birthdays, and family reunions held outdoors on the larger lots. The road up Bluff Street is steep and narrow in spots, so we use the smaller cargo van for load-in and scout the turnaround in advance.
the Gilman Hot Springs corridor runs along Gilman Springs Road past the old Massacre Canyon Inn site, and while the historic resort itself is no longer public, the surrounding ranch properties and small event venues still host weddings, milestone birthdays, and family reunions. Cell service can be spotty, so we confirm the printer settings and load templates locally before leaving the shop.
Highland Springs Avenue connects Banning to the 123 Farm and Highland Springs Ranch and Inn property, with 20 acres of organic lavender fields and historic stagecoach-era buildings. While the Ranch stopped hosting weddings in 2019, the surrounding area still draws engagement parties, milestone birthdays, and seasonal festival events tied to the lavender, olive, and cherry harvests.
Smith Creek runs through the northern edge of Banning where the city limits meet the San Bernardino National Forest, and the area has a quiet, rural feel with larger lots tucked against the foothills. Events here are mostly intimate, backyard birthdays, family reunions, and small outdoor weddings staged on private property.

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.

Booking a photo booth from The Photo Booth Guy is straightforward. The best first step is to call (909) 570-1988 to speak with the team directly about your event in Banning. During that conversation, you can share your event date, venue, expected guest count, and any specific requests so the team can recommend the right package and confirm availability.
