"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 Desert Hot Springs 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 Desert Hot Springs ZIPs (92240, 92241). If your venue has a 110V outlet and a 10×10 ft footprint, we're set up.

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.

The lower end of that range typically covers the essential booth experience, while higher-tier packages are designed to include additional features, longer rental hours, or premium add-ons that enhance the guest experience. Because specific package details can vary based on event type, date, and duration, reaching out directly at (909) 570-1988 is the best way to get an accurate quote tailored to your needs. The team can walk you through what each investment level includes and help you identify whether base coverage suits your event or whether upgrading to a fuller package makes more sense.

The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to serve clients throughout Southern California, including Desert Hot Springs and the Riverside County area. The distance from Chino to Desert Hot Springs places this destination comfortably within the company's service footprint, making it a practical choice for events in the Coachella Valley and surrounding high desert communities. For events that fall outside typical service boundaries or require extended travel, it is worth asking about any applicable travel fees when you call (909) 570-1988. The team is accustomed to handling the logistics of traveling to destination events and understands that clients in areas like Desert Hot Springs need a vendor who can commit fully to the drive and arrive on time with equipment intact. Multi-city engagements or events requiring overnight coordination can also be discussed directly with the team to determine feasibility and any associated costs.
Booking a photo booth with The Photo Booth Guy starts with a simple phone call to (909) 570-1988, where a team member can discuss your event date, location in Desert Hot Springs or elsewhere in Riverside County, expected guest count, and any specific features you have in mind. Given that the company holds a 4.9-star rating across more than 750 reviews, demand for their services is consistent, which means popular dates, particularly weekend evenings in spring and fall, can fill up well in advance. For weddings, it is generally advisable to reach out several months ahead of your date to secure your spot, while corporate events and smaller gatherings may have more flexibility depending on the season. Once your event details are confirmed and a package is selected, the booking process moves toward a formal agreement that locks in your date and outlines exactly what the service includes. The Photo Booth Guy's team is available to answer follow-up questions between booking and your event day so nothing is left uncertain.
