"We are so grateful to [The Photo Booth Guy]! 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. 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 Cathedral City 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 Cathedral City ZIPs (92234, 92235). 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.
Downtown Cathedral City has been revitalized with a town square, fountain, and entertainment venues.
Date Palm Drive is Cathedral City's main commercial corridor.
The Cove sits in the southwest pocket of Cathedral City, tucked against the Santa Rosa foothills with a mix of mid-century ranch homes and newer custom builds. Backyard quinceañeras, milestone birthdays, family reunions, and small wedding receptions make up most of the calendar, with patios facing the mountains for sunset light.
Dream Homes is the original 1950s and 1960s tract on the north side of Cathedral City, built as affordable mid-century modern with the same butterfly roofs and breeze-block walls that put Palm Springs on the architecture circuit. Mid-century-themed weddings, Modernism Week open house parties in February, milestone birthdays, and vintage car meet receptions all draw on the architectural look.

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.
