"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 Coachella 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.

The Photo Booth Guy offers photo booth rental packages in Coachella ranging from approximately $425 to $1,050, giving clients flexibility based on the scope and duration of their event. The lower end of that range typically covers a foundational package suited to shorter gatherings, while higher-tier packages accommodate longer rental windows, larger guest counts, or added features that enhance the overall experience. Because services offered are customized to each event, the best way to understand exactly what is included at each price point is to contact the team directly at (909) 570-1988 for a tailored quote. The Photo Booth Guy builds packages with transparency in mind, so clients in Coachella know what they are getting before any deposit is made. Pricing may also reflect travel considerations depending on the specific venue location within Riverside County, so reaching out early helps ensure an accurate and complete estimate for your event.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to Coachella and throughout Riverside County to serve clients across the greater desert and Inland Empire regions. Travel to Coachella is well within the company's service footprint, though depending on the distance from Chino, a travel fee may apply for certain bookings. Clients planning destination events, multi-location celebrations, or gatherings in more remote parts of Riverside County are encouraged to discuss those details during the inquiry process so any associated costs can be factored into the quote upfront. The Photo Booth Guy is accustomed to coordinating logistics for events that require longer drives and works to make travel as seamless as possible for the client. To confirm travel availability for your specific Coachella venue and get a clear picture of any fees involved, contact the team at (909) 570-1988.
Booking The Photo Booth Guy for an event in Coachella starts with a simple phone call to (909) 570-1988, where the team can discuss your event date, venue, expected guest count, and any specific needs you have in mind. Given the company's strong 4.9-star rating and 750-plus reviews, availability fills up quickly, particularly for weekend dates during busy wedding and event seasons in the Coachella Valley.
