The holiday-vendor problem
Most holiday party vendors are booked solid by November and price-gouge the late-bookers.
Here's the difference between the typical photo booth vendor and what we ship to your holiday party.
What goes wrong with most holiday party booth vendors
- Surge pricing in December — same booth costs 30% more for a December date.
- Vendors fully booked by November, leaving you with subcontractor B-team for December dates.
- Generic "Happy Holidays" template — no company branding, no family monogram.
- Stock holiday props that look identical at every party in town.
- Late delivery — recap email goes out in January, holiday moment over.
- No multi-event option for companies that also book a summer picnic and sales kickoff.
What we ship to every holiday party
- Flat December pricing — same rate as the rest of the year. Book early, lock the rate.
- In-house team — never a subcontractor, even at peak season.
- Custom holiday template with company logo or family monogram + festive design.
- Theme-curated props: ugly sweaters, ornaments, Santa hats, NYE crowns, gold confetti.
- Same-day digital delivery — corporate recap emails ship Monday morning.
- Same crew across all your seasonal events — holiday party, NYE, family gathering — when you book early.
Your holiday party-day timeline
What we do before, during, and after.

From the founder
Why I started The Photo Booth Guy.
Nine years. 5,500+ events. 200+ holiday parties every winter — Fortune 500 corporate, family gatherings, NYE galas across SoCal.
I started The Photo Booth Guy in 2017 while still on active duty in the Marine Corps, because I couldn't find a photo booth operator in Southern California who treated every holiday party the way I'd want my own handled. So I built one — running the early bookings on weekends between deployments and training. Every booking is owner-overseen. Every holiday party ships with a uniformed in-house attendant — never a drop-off rental, never a subcontractor. We're a veteran-owned small business, fully insured ($2M GL), and accepted at every major SoCal venue.
Nine years in, we've delivered 200+ holiday parties and earned 600+ five-star reviews on Yelp plus 150+ on Google. I still personally review every holiday party the morning of — venue notes, timeline, attendant brief. If you have a question before booking, call or text me directly at (909) 570-1988.
