For El Cajon hosts, the usual choices are golf club ballrooms, backyard tents and hotel event rooms, and any of them can take a booth with the right corner. Good to know: El Cajon, CA is out northeast of San Diego, around 13 miles from downtown, and prices stay the same as they are downtown. San Diego County parties get the same lineup and prices.
Weather is part of the plan: coastal evenings can turn cool and breezy, so tell us if the booth will be outside. Measure first: for most booths, clear an 8 by 8 foot space close to an outlet, and the 360 booth wants a little more, about 9 by 9 feet. On the tech side, the open air, digital and 360 booths connect to the venue WiFi so guests can get their photos by text or QR code. Venues that ask for insurance get a free COI. For timing, we are on site 30 minutes before start for most of the lineup, or 60 minutes ahead for the Magazine Box, and you are not billed for setup.

In the surrounding area, other places we serve include Poway, CA and Chula Vista, CA, so a venue a town over is no problem. From El Cajon, CA, the closer of the two is roughly 12 miles. For the drive, you pay nothing for delivery, unless you book the digital booth for two or three hours, which carries a $50 fee.
Once your venue is set, the $200 retainer is what reserves it, and the balance lands 7 days before the day. Short notice, under 7 days, means full payment at booking. Pay by Venmo, Apple Cash or card, with 5% added for card.
We do: the booth lineup is the same in El Cajon, CA and San Diego, and setup is included either way. Free travel, except $50 on a two or three hour digital booking.
In short, for four hours, open air is $800, 360 video is $1,000, Glam is $1,100, AI is $1,400 and the Vogue Magazine Box is $2,200, while the Audio Guest Booth is $600 and the Video Guest Booth $750 for the whole event. State and local sales tax is extra.
For your floor plan, the typical footprint is 8 by 8 feet plus a nearby outlet, and the handheld Roamer needs no floor space at all. Tight rooms suit the Audio Guest Booth or the Roamer.
Not for every booth: WiFi matters for the open air, digital and 360 booths for the QR code guests scan to download their photos. If WiFi is weak, tell us before the day.
