Photo booth rental at The Resort at Pelican Hill.
Pelican Hill events span Mar Vista Lawn, the Coliseum Pool, and the Grand Lawn — three very different photo booth contexts. We pre-stage booth + props in the catering corridor so we're set up before the cocktail hour starts.

Three rooms, three booths — one Pelican Hill crew that knows the load-in.
The Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast is the AAA Five Diamond Irvine Company property where every wedding, corporate retreat, and brand activation runs across multiple event venues at once — Mar Vista Lawn for ceremony, the Coliseum Pool for cocktail hour, the Grand Lawn for reception. The Photo Booth Guy operates Pelican Hill as a single coordinated installation rather than three separate jobs: pre-staged kit in the catering corridor, golf-cart-ready cross-property moves, and one event lead managing all touchpoints.
The booth pick at Pelican Hill changes by the room. Our Mirror booth and 360 video booth are the canonical wedding picks — both match the resort's formal Italian-villa palette and pair cleanly with the Coliseum Pool's iconic rotunda backdrop. Corporate retreats and brand activations on the Grand Lawn get the Social booth instead: instant-share GIFs and boomerangs that suit the content-first audiences these events draw. Each booth ships with property-rated COI naming Irvine Co Hospitality + the resort 30 days out.
The Photo Booth Guy is a Marine Corps Veteran Owned operator founded by Andrew Cruz in 2017. Andrew personally reviews every Newport Coast event the morning it happens — Pelican Hill events specifically, because the cross-property coordination demands a vendor who's mapped the bell-desk handoffs and the golf-cart routes. 5,500+ events delivered. 1 in 6 of our clients book us a second time. 4.9 stars across 750+ Yelp and Google reviews.

Your fixed quote includes the resort COI, the cross-property coordination, and a uniformed attendant on-site for the full event window. Newport Beach sits inside our standard service area — the proposal locks in the booth, the package, and the load-in plan in one document.
