Indio run-of-show

How we run a Social Booth at an Indio event.

1. Footprint: 6×6 ft minimum (smallest in the fleet). One 110V outlet within 25 ft. Wi-Fi or strong cell signal required (MiFi backup in the van — venue check on the first call).
2. Departure from Chino HQ timed to land 60 minutes before guest start.
3. Setup 60 minutes before guest start: boomerang/GIF templates loaded, hashtag tracker live, instant phone-delivery flow tested.
4. Live run: digital-only output (boomerangs, GIFs, video), instant phone delivery via QR or text — no print queue.
5. 20-minute teardown (no print station to break down).
6. Monday-after digital gallery delivered (digital-only — no prints to ship).

Indio Social Booth rental — questions answered

Most-asked questions from couples, planners, and corporate event leads.

What's the difference between a boomerang and a GIF?

A boomerang is a short video that plays forward then backward on loop. A GIF is a series of frames that create animation. Our booth can create both!

Can guests share directly to Instagram?

Yes! Guests can share their boomerangs and GIFs directly to Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, or via text message.

Andrew Cruz — Marine Corps Veteran

I started The Photo Booth Guy in 2017 after the Marines. Every event still goes through me personally — the overlay design, the attendant briefing, the venue COI. 5,500+ events later, that hasn't changed. If something goes wrong on your day, my number is on every contract.
