The Queen Mary's Grand Salon, Royal Salon, and Promenade Deck each demand period-correct setup — Art Deco-era detailing, ocean-liner architecture, and a booth that respects 90 years of history.
“I review every event the morning of — that’s the deal.” — Andrew Cruz, founder · USMC vet
If you're hosting at The Queen Mary, here are the venue-specific facts every photo booth vendor should know before quoting your event.
Pier H service entrance. Queen Mary events team books freight slot through the City of Long Beach. COI naming RMS Foundation Inc + City of Long Beach required.
Glam (B&W) — Art Deco palette and ocean-liner architecture pair beautifully with sepia-toned skin-retouch prints.
The Queen Mary at 1126 Queens Highway in Long Beach is the 1936 Cunard ocean liner permanently docked as a hotel and event venue — Grand Salon, Royal Salon, the Sun Deck, and the Promenade Deck all preserved as Art Deco-era event spaces. The RMS Foundation operates the property under City of Long Beach oversight, which means events here require dual-named COI 30 days out, period-respectful setup (no anchoring into the original mahogany or brass), and ambient LED only on every booth.
The Glam booth's black-and-white skin-retouch profile is our canonical Queen Mary pick. The Art Deco palette and the ocean-liner architecture both pair with sepia-toned prints that look like they came out of the era the ship was built. For more casual Verandah Grill rehearsal-dinner events we shift to the Classic open-air booth with a vintage-style print template, which fits the casual maritime register. Promenade Deck cocktail hours use the Mirror booth for the more enclosed footprint.
The Photo Booth Guy is USMC veteran-owned, founded by Andrew Cruz in 2017. Queen Mary events get Andrew's personal morning-of review specifically because the historic-property coordination — the Pier H load-in, the RMS Foundation COI, the City of Long Beach approvals — demands a vendor who's worked the ship before. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ reviews. Owner-overseen, attendant-included.
Hosting a wedding, awards gala, corporate event, or tribute event aboard the Queen Mary? Your fixed proposal includes the dual-named COI, the Pier H load-in coordination, and a uniformed attendant on-site for the full event window. Long Beach photo booth rental sits inside our standard service area. Glam Booth for Art Deco-era weddings, Classic Booth for casual deck events.

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.
