San Diego, CA events spread from the bay to the hills. Downtown hotels in the Gaslamp Quarter and along the Embarcadero hold the conventions and the big wedding receptions. Little Italy and North Park run restaurant buyouts and brewery parties in smaller rooms. Balboa Park museums and La Jolla clubs host galas, and Mission Bay resorts put receptions on a lawn by the water. Inland, banquet halls in El Cajon, CA, Santee, CA, Poway, CA and many more areas host the bigger family parties.
Outdoor setups need a plan. Ocean wind moves backdrops on a beach lawn, and gray May and June evenings turn cool, so we look for a sheltered corner with a standard outlet. The Digital, 360 and Open Air booths need venue WiFi to send photos, and the Magazine Box stands 8 feet tall. If you want to rent a photo booth near National City, CA, Imperial Beach, CA, Chula Vista, CA and many more areas, tell us the space and we will match the booth.

Much of our San Diego, CA County work sits outside the city. South Bay bookings come from Chula Vista, National City and Imperial Beach. East County means La Mesa, El Cajon and Santee, and Poway sits north of there. Up the coast in North County, we drive to Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside and many more areas. Inland, San Marcos and Escondido book barn and winery weddings. Coronado is a short drive over the bridge. Travel costs nothing on every booth but one: a Digital booth booked for 2 or 3 hours adds $50.
Four hours of the Digital booth runs $600, and six hours runs $900. Open Air with unlimited prints is $800 for four hours, the 360 video booth $1,200 for five and the Glam booth $900 for three. The AI photo booth runs $1,400 for four hours and the Black & White booth $1,000 for four. San Diego, CA couples pay $2,200 for four hours of the Vogue Magazine Box, or $1,000 for the day. The same rates apply in Oceanside, CA, Escondido, CA, San Marcos, CA and many more areas, plus state and local sales tax.
Yes. Free travel across San Diego, CA, Carlsbad, CA, El Cajon, CA and many more areas, except $50 on a Digital booth booked for two or three hours. A reception in Oceanside is priced the same as one downtown, and we deliver and set up, so there is no pickup.
We deliver the booth, set it up and take it down, and none of that time comes off your rental. Most booths arrive 30 minutes before your start and the Magazine Box an hour before. Resorts and museums that want a certificate of insurance get our general liability COI at no charge. Each Open Air or Digital rental includes a shimmer backdrop in black, blue, gold, pink, rose gold, purple, silver or teal.
Spring and fall Saturdays book first, and September and October bring the warmest, clearest evenings on the coast. The date is locked in with a $200 retainer. The balance comes due 7 days ahead, and a date inside that week is paid in full when you book. Couples in Encinitas, CA, Solana Beach, CA, Poway, CA and many more areas book on the same terms, by Venmo, Apple Cash or card (card adds 5%).
Convention parties in the Gaslamp hotels do well with the 360 video booth or the AI photo booth, since guests get the file on their phone right away. The Roamer booth moves through a crowded reception and needs no floor space. Every booth can be booked for 2 to 8 hours, each at a set price, plus tax.
