Castle Green's Grand Salon and Sun Room both have power constraints typical of historic 1898 architecture — we bring our own surge protection and run booth power off a single dedicated circuit confirmed with the venue manager during walkthrough.

If you're hosting at Castle Green, here are the venue-specific facts every photo booth vendor should know before quoting your event.
Side entrance on Raymond Ave. Limited freight elevator window 9am–6pm. We pad-wrap stanchions and gear bags to protect the original tile floor.
Classic open-air with sepia / vintage prints — leans into the Castle Green aesthetic for weddings and milestone parties.
Castle Green is the 1898 Moorish-Spanish Pasadena landmark that hosted the city's society at the turn of the century — and still anchors Old Pasadena weddings today. The building's National Register status comes with constraints every photo booth vendor needs to know: original tile floors that don't tolerate adhesives, freight elevator slots restricted to weekday business hours, and surge protection mandatory because the historic electrical service splits irregularly between rooms.
The Photo Booth Guy ships our full surge protection kit on every Castle Green job and confirms the dedicated circuit with the venue manager during walkthrough — never assumes. We pad-wrap stanchions and route gear bags through the Raymond Avenue side entrance to protect the original tile. Our Classic open-air booth with the sepia / vintage print profile leans directly into the Castle Green aesthetic for weddings and milestone parties — print strips that look like they came out of the era the building was built.
Founder Andrew Cruz, a USMC veteran, started this company because he watched too many Pasadena couples get burned by no-show vendors at venues like Castle Green where a missed delivery means a permanently visible gap in the reception. 5,500+ events delivered since 2017. 4.9 stars across 750+ Yelp and Google reviews. Attendant on every event. Andrew personally reviews every Pasadena event the morning it happens.

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 600+ five-star reviews on Yelp plus 150+ 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.
