If you're hosting at Segerstrom Center for the Arts, here are the venue-specific facts every photo booth vendor should know before quoting your event.

Glam (B&W) for evening galas in the Concert Hall Plaza or Founders Hall; Mirror booth for Argyros Plaza outdoor receptions.
Segerstrom Center for the Arts at 600 Town Center Drive in Costa Mesa is the Orange County cultural institution that hosts Pacific Symphony concerts, Broadway runs, and a steady calendar of cultural galas, corporate sponsor events, and charity fundraisers in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall Plaza, Samueli Theater Lobby, and Founders Hall. Working an event here means coordinating load-in around concert and Broadway program schedules, carrying COI naming Segerstrom Center for the Arts 30 days out, and operating under cultural-institution conservation protocols.
The Glam booth's black-and-white skin-retouch profile is our canonical Segerstrom Concert Hall Plaza pick. Cultural galas and corporate sponsor events both pair with the formal palette and the venue's contemporary architecture. Argyros Plaza outdoor receptions shift to the Mirror booth for the open footprint. Samueli Theater Lobby and Founders Hall private receptions use the Classic open-air booth with a tonally-matched print template.
The Photo Booth Guy is USMC veteran-owned, founded by Andrew Cruz in 2017 on the principle that every booking is owner-overseen. Segerstrom events specifically get this discipline because the Pacific Symphony's program coordination demands a vendor who's mapped the load-in cadence. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ reviews. 1 in 6 of our clients book us a second time.

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.
