"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 Riverside 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 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.

Saturdays in Riverside 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 Riverside, 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 Riverside 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 in Riverside ranging from $425 to $1,050, giving event hosts flexibility depending on their budget and the scope of their celebration. The lower end of that range typically covers a straightforward rental with professional equipment and an attendant to keep things running smoothly throughout your event. As you move up the pricing scale, packages generally include added time, enhanced features, or premium customization options that make the experience feel more tailored to your specific event. Because services offered can vary by package, it is worth calling The Photo Booth Guy directly at (909) 570-1988 to walk through exactly what each tier includes and which one fits your event in Riverside best. Pricing can also shift depending on the day of the week, season, or any travel considerations, so getting a personalized quote ensures you have an accurate number to work with when planning your budget.
The Photo Booth Guy is headquartered in Chino, California, and regularly travels to Riverside and throughout Riverside County to serve clients across the region. The Inland Empire service area means that Riverside events are well within the company's regular travel range, and the team is accustomed to the local roads, traffic patterns, and timing considerations that come with getting equipment to events on schedule. For events that fall outside the standard service area — including destination events or multi-city bookings — it is best to contact The Photo Booth Guy directly at (909) 570-1988 to discuss logistics and any applicable travel fees. The company's approach to travel is straightforward: they want to show up on time and prepared, so clear communication about your event location is always encouraged during the booking process. Whether your Riverside event is close to the 91 or further into the county, reaching out early gives the team time to plan the most efficient route and arrival window.
Booking The Photo Booth Guy for a Riverside event starts with a simple conversation. You can reach the team by phone at (909) 570-1988 to discuss your event date, location, expected guest count, and any specific features you have in mind. Because The Photo Booth Guy maintains a 4.9-star rating across more than 750 reviews, their calendar can fill up quickly — especially during peak wedding and event seasons in Riverside County. For weddings and large corporate events, reaching out several months in advance is a smart move to secure your preferred date. Smaller or more flexible gatherings may have more availability, but earlier is almost always better. During the booking conversation, the team will walk you through the package options in the $425 to $1,050 range, help you match a setup to your event's needs, and outline what the next steps look like to confirm your reservation. Clear communication from the start helps ensure that by the time your event arrives, every detail is already handled.
