"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."
"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 Calimesa 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 Calimesa ZIPs (92320). If your venue has a 110V outlet and a 10×10 ft footprint, we're set up.
Calimesa Boulevard between County Line Road and Sandalwood Drive is essentially the city's downtown spine, with Stater Bros, George's German Deli, the Wellness Center, and a string of restaurants that anchor most of the daytime activity. Events here are typically restaurant buyouts for retirement parties, birthday dinners at the cafes, and small fundraisers in the meeting rooms above the corridor.
Mesa Verde sits on the higher ground south of Calimesa Boulevard, a quieter pocket of single-family homes that's distinct from the larger 55+ mobile home communities like Plantation on the Lake closer to County Line Road. Bookings here are mostly backyard celebrations, baby showers, communions, and the occasional graduation party for Mesa View Middle or Yucaipa High students.
Singleton Road climbs east out of Calimesa toward Oak Glen and the Riley's Farm corridor, with apple orchards, working ranches, and barn properties that make it a natural launch point for harvest-season events. Bookings here lean toward rustic weddings, anniversary parties, and corporate harvest dinners in October when the apple crowds are at peak.

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 rentals in Calimesa, CA typically run $425–$650 depending on hours, booth type (open-air, mirror, or 360), and add-ons like custom backdrops or guest books. We send a fixed quote up front — no surprise fees, no travel charge inside our standard service area.
Saturdays in Calimesa 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.
Yes — we cover every neighborhood and venue in Calimesa, from private residences to hotels, banquet halls, country clubs, and outdoor venues. We cover all of Riverside County with no extra travel fees inside our standard service radius.
Weddings, birthday parties, corporate events, school dances, graduations, holiday parties, fundraisers, and brand activations. We bring the same professional setup to a backyard birthday in Calimesa as we do to a 500-guest gala — only the package size changes.
Our standard open-air booth needs a 10x10 ft area with access to a single power outlet. The 360 booth needs slightly more — about 12x12 ft. We can work in tighter spaces too; just send us a quick photo of the spot during planning and we'll confirm fit.
Every package includes a professional attendant on-site, unlimited photo sessions, instant prints (or digital sharing depending on package), a curated prop selection, custom photo template with your event branding, and a digital gallery delivered after the event.
The Photo Booth Guy offers photo booth rental packages ranging from $425 to $1,050, giving clients in Calimesa flexibility based on the scale and needs of their event. The lower end of that range typically covers a straightforward rental experience suited for smaller gatherings, while packages approaching the higher end are designed for larger events that may call for extended hours, additional features, or premium add-ons. Because specific package tiers and inclusions can vary, the best way to understand exactly what each price point covers is to reach out directly to The Photo Booth Guy at (909) 570-1988. A team member can walk you through what is included in a base rental versus what might be available as an upgrade, helping you find the right fit for your budget and event vision. Pricing transparency is part of what has contributed to the company's strong review record, so clients can expect a straightforward conversation about costs without surprises.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to serve clients in Calimesa and throughout Riverside County. The company's geographic reach extends across the region, making them a practical option for events in communities beyond their home base. For clients planning destination events or gatherings that span multiple locations, it is worth calling (909) 570-1988 to discuss the specifics, including whether a travel fee applies based on the distance from Chino to your event site. Travel fees, when applicable, are typically determined by mileage and are best confirmed at the time of inquiry so they can be factored into your overall budget. The team's willingness to serve Calimesa and the surrounding Riverside County corridor reflects a broader commitment to being accessible to clients across the region, not just those located closest to their home city.
Booking a photo booth with The Photo Booth Guy starts with a straightforward conversation. You can reach the team directly by calling (909) 570-1988 to discuss your event date, location in Calimesa or Riverside County, estimated guest count, and any specific needs you have in mind. Given the company's strong reputation and 750-plus reviews, availability on popular dates can fill up quickly, particularly during peak wedding and holiday seasons. For weddings and large corporate events, reaching out several months in advance is a practical approach to securing your preferred date. Smaller or more casual gatherings may have more flexibility, but earlier is still better when working with a well-reviewed vendor. During the booking call, the team can outline package options within the $425 to $1,050 price range, answer questions about what to expect on event day, and confirm logistical details like setup time and duration. The process is designed to be clear and low-stress from first contact through the event itself.
