Vibiana's Main Sanctuary and Garden Pavilion are former St. Vibiana cathedral spaces — we bring a low-key, architecture-respecting booth setup with no flash and no adhesives, anywhere on the property.
“I review every event the morning of — that’s the deal.” — Andrew Cruz, founder · USMC vet
If you're hosting at Vibiana, here are the venue-specific facts every photo booth vendor should know before quoting your event.
2nd Street service entrance. Vibiana Events team books freight slot. COI naming Vibiana LLC required. Historic-property rules on lighting + anchoring.
Glam (B&W) for Main Sanctuary weddings — the sepia-toned prints pair with the cathedral architecture; Mirror booth for Garden Pavilion daytime events.
Vibiana at 214 S Main Street in Downtown Los Angeles is the former St. Vibiana cathedral — built 1876, deconsecrated 1996, now reopened as one of the most architecturally distinctive event venues in LA. The Main Sanctuary's cathedral ceiling, the Garden Pavilion's outdoor terrace, and the Bell Tower Bar each demand historic-property protocol: no anchoring into the original masonry, no adhesives on any surface, ambient LED only on every booth, and freestanding ballast bases on every backdrop stand.
The Glam booth is our canonical Vibiana Main Sanctuary pick. The black-and-white skin-retouch profile pairs with the cathedral's restored architecture and produces sepia-toned prints that look like they belong in the building's original era. Garden Pavilion daytime events shift to the Mirror booth, which fits the open footprint without competing with the outdoor sightlines. Bell Tower Bar cocktail events use the Social booth for the more casual content-output expected in that room.
The Photo Booth Guy is USMC veteran-owned, founded by Andrew Cruz in 2017. Andrew personally reviews every Downtown LA event the morning it happens, with Vibiana events specifically because the historic-property rules and the cathedral acoustics both demand a vendor who's done it before. 5,500+ events delivered. 4.9 stars across 750+ Yelp and Google 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.
