Overall I was very happy with MementoStrip. My wedding was a blast and the attendant (Jesus) was great! You can get all Photo Booth photos online! Bao's team made it available the very next day! Super great for aunts and uncles going on flights out of town immediately afterwards. My only concern was the custom frame. I paid ($100) to design/upload my personal logo. On the screen it looked awesome! But the actual print-outs on the wedding day were a disappointment. The fonts and pink colors were faded and looked cheap. I was so sad. However, when Bao sent me the link for the Digital download, the photos were awesome! I was happy again because most people viewed their photos on their cell phones and the digital downloads were excellent. If you do a custom frame make sure you get a real print out (proof) of the graphic. It may look different than on the computer screen. My venue had very low lighting and I was worried of the photo quality. Bao assured me that his equipment had the proper flashes. He was right. The photos of the guest were great. The logo no so much as stated earlier. It's funny seeing my older uncles and aunts taking a photo with their cellphones of the actual print-outs (faded pink) and posting it on FB when they could have uploaded the better resolution digital prints from the downloads webpage. oh well. Can't win it all. My sister got me a laser cutout of my logo and frame to be used with the photo-booth. I don't know how much it costed, but this could be a service MementoStrip may want to offer their customers. Just an FYI. see me and my dad holding the laser cut frame below. MementoStrip, you can add this to your options!!! read more

Bao and his team were super helpful and responsive! People had a blast at the photo booth. I definitely recommend them!

Booked them super last minute for my nieces 4th Birthday party! And they were very accommodating. I only booked them 3days before the event. My guest enjoyed the photobooth to the max! (Even the adults lol) The attendant was really nice and helpful. The price is super affordable compared to others. Although it took almost a week for my pictures to be up on their website it was worth the wait I asked for a rustic cowboy theme and they totally made it happen with the graphics! They work with you and edit the graphics to your liking. Will definitely book again! read more

MementoStrip Photobooth - Photo Booth Rentals Near Me - San Jose, California

Bao was very responsive to our needs. He was able to stop by to check out the location and space to see if the photobooth can work in the space given . We were able to customize the photobooth template and backdrop as well to suit our open house event. His team member Matthew was friendly had provided extra copies of the photos upon our guests request. I would suggest they get newer props and lengthen the time between each picture that can be taken. read more

MementoStrip Photobooth - Our guests and crew had a fun time with the photobooth - Photo Booth Rentals Near Me - San Jose, California

I bought this as a living social deal or Groupon deal ( I forget which one) and I'm so glad I did it. After calling around to several places to get quotes and what not, memento was the most helpful in setting me up and following up with me. They were able to create a customizable graphic for my event. On the day of, Kevin came to set up the booth and I had the props ready. Everyone had a blast.. I wish my party kept taking photos, but all in all, we had an awesome time. Kevin offered to stay a little later, since the setup took a little longer. That was much appreciated! =) I would definitely use them again the next time I plan a huge event. It was very successful. I even got a link to their online website so my guests can view all the pics. read more

I highly recommend mementostrip if you're looking for a photo booth for a wedding or cooperate event. First off, the staff working on attending the booth is super nice. We used mementostrip for our wedding and the staff made sure our guests leaves a copy of their photo with a signed note in our guest book. Also, our venue accidentally forgot to provide him his meal and he was very nice and professional about it. As the bride and groom we felt really bad he worked 5 hours and didn't eat anything. He was so nice and didn't want to disturb us for his meal. Second, the props were great. A lot of our guests enjoyed the props the company provided. Also, it was not a long wait for the guest to get their two copies of pics. I've been to some weddings and events that took forever for us to get our pics and we usually end up forgetting about it. Mementostrip's photo machine is fast and provides great quality photos! I highly recommend this company ! read more

Long overdue review! Memento Strip serviced our wedding 08/2013 and they were nothing but accommodating and professional. Communication with them was flawless before the wedding and they arrived on time and set up as planned. If you need a booth vendor that you can count on, please contact Memento Strip. I think it's important to have a wedding vendor that you can count on and who will ask the necessary questions about the event/site to ensure great service. We were more than pleased with the attendant and the quality of service.that they provided us. You won't regret choosing them for your special day! =) read more

Loved this photo booth! Used them for my bridal shower in Pacifica and they were able to get in with less than a 2 week notice. Kevin was great, very friendly, quick communication and such a smooth process. I did a lot of research and they are the least expensive in the area! They came on time, the attendant was very friendly, and took down and left with no interruption. Best part was that I got the online gallery within 24 hours! Since it was just for my bridal shower, I didn't want to spend a lot or go all out- I just wanted something my guests can do besides just sit around and wait for the food and games. They loved it! The photo booth didn't come with props, which was fine since i had my own Paris themed props I bought on Etsy. (My shower theme was Paris) I highly recommend Kevin and his staff! read more

This guy (Bao-the owner) is ghosting us or is no longer in business. Put down money for our wedding in 2019, but had to delay the ceremony to 2021 due to covid. Now we can't get ahold of him. The company phone number is disconnected, and he has disappeared with our money. I hope others weren't screwed too. Don't use this service. read more

These guys were great! I use them for all of my photo booth needs for both corporate and personal! If there is ever an issue they are always prompt to fix and remedy the situation! They have always worked with me on the graphics of the layout and using customized artwork and backdrops! The prints come out great and they give you the option of Photobooth strips or 4x6 and you can even get double prints as an option, but you always have access to the soft copies via their online gallery which you can download each individual photo from! Great feature! I always work with Bao and he is always very quick at responses and attentive to detail! Their attendants have always been awesome! Tuan came out to our event this past weekend and he was amazing! Great job! I definitely recommend MementoStrip to anyone looking for a Photobooth, you will not be disappointed! read more

They did a great job at our wedding this past weekend! Bao really helped us to find a package that worked for our budget and also helped to customize the graphic art on the printouts. Jesus was our on-site staff member and he was great- very friendly and even came to let me know he'd be leaving soon and let us gather more people to the photo booth before he left. I was surprised with how great the pictures looked! The lighting was great and the photos were of very high quality. Great team and I would definitely recommend. read more

I hired mementostrip for my wedding a month ago and these guys didn't let me down :) They were friendly, professional, and always on top of it. Tony and his team made sure that everything was the way I wanted. I brought in my own backdrop and even though it was a bit short, they made it work. Tony helped me with our layout and design. Our photos came out with great quality and there wasn't a glitch with our photobooth at all. Our photo butlers were super nice and did a great job helping out my intoxicated guests! I wish them all the best. You won't be disappointed if you book mementostrip! read more

I got in contact with Bao a few months prior to our event, and he was always super quick at responding! He even took the extra step to create a personalized and themed graphic for our photo print template. On the day of the event, our attendant Jesus was set up and ready to go before our event even started, and everything went really smoothly. Great deal for a great service! read more

Leaving one star because I was never able to get a hold of them. I called their listed number on their website/yelp/google multiple times for 2 weeks but there was never anyone available to answer. I left a voice message hoping to get a call back but I have yet to get one. Left an inquiry asking about prices and availability but never received a reply. I was really excited to use them but I never even got an opportunity. If any of you get a hold of them and book them search Groupon for the 50% of discount. These Photobooth companies love to overcharge so save some money. read more

I highly recommend Mementostrip to everyone. They are able to service any kind of party! I work at an elementary school and had an end of the year celebration for the entire school. Mementostrip was one of our vendors and they serviced about 420 students. Bao and Jaimie were awesome to work with because they truly wanted the students to feel special on the day they get to hang with their friends. Both of them were really prompt with their emails. I never had to wait more than a day for a response. They provided great feedback and suggestions to where it benefited the students. They were attentive, helpful, and professional at all times during the event. The next day, they were able to provide a link with all the photos taken. I would definitely use Mementopstrip again for a personal or school event because they work as a team. They made my day feel at ease and the smiles on the kiddos faces were priceless. You guys have been very accommodating and flexible to work with. Thank you Mementostrip! Our school is so grateful for all that you have done! Our school looks forward in working with you again! read more

** UPDATE: 2015/05/06 - raised from a 2 star to 3 star review ** I just spoke with the bride and groom and they heard back from the vendor. They acknowledge where they fell short in their service and offered them a partial refund as well as offered to reprint their pictures at no charge to the bride and groom. I'm glad to see this company has some great customer service and stands by their product! ** Original Review ** Short Version: Good quality pictures but presentation and organization of their Photo Booth at an event missed the mark especially compared to other Photo Booth setups / companies. Long Winded Version: I recently attended a weekend where momentostrip photo both was hired to provide the photo booth setup. The venue was outdoor at a winery. The photo booth was setup outside with a beautiful backdrop of the winery's green rolling hills in the background and a small pond and garden in the foreground. The pictures taken during the day came out nice and the print quality of the photo strips were great. Overall the photos were nice with the daylight available. The reason for the deduction in stars is due to a few things, all of which could be fixed easily 1) the printed photo strips: the actual pictures came out and printed nicely however, because their advertising for the company was printed at the top of the strip, it caused the wedding couple's written text at the bottom to be cut off. Basically you could only see the top half of the date on the print out. They could easily fix this by calibrating the print layout prior to the event. 2) the photo both was supposed to be moved inside the tent after the sun went down. It was left outside. The problem with this is the background in the after dark pictures were pitch black. Additionally, due to the location of the photo booth outside, guests could not easily access the photo booth and likely forgot it was outside (there was no door on the tent near the Photo Booth). Had the booth been moved inside to the designated area, it would have solved both issues and likely more people would have taken pictures 3) while it appears they had a decent amount of props, they were all just piled in a box guests had to dig through. This made it difficult to change props between pictures and made it take a bit longer to get ready. Something I've seen other companies do is layout the props on a table next to the booth so that guests can easily see what props are available and can easily grab different ones. 4) the attendant at the booth may have been a nice and great guy but I would have never known. He did not acknowledge us as we got in front of the camera and never said a word to us. He kind of stood there awkwardly looking at us. When we were ready to take the pictures with our props, he moved to the side and pushed the button the screen. After the pictures were done, he handed us the print outs all while never saying anything. I know photo booths are relatively self service and the attendant is there to make sure things go smoothly but if you're going to be there and help us, some interaction would be nice and less awkward. Tell us what to do, ask us if we're ready, tell us to smile, or simply say hi and that you're going to help us with the pictures. something. Overall, if the company makes the minor adjustments, they would easily have gotten a 4+ star rating from me. read more

What a GREAT find...highly recommended, and very reasonably priced. We used mementostrips for my son's wedding reception, and it was a big hit. Before the event, Bao made sure we were happy with the design of the strips. The open booth allowed for many family shots, and the attendant was really helpful. They were there on time, and were a joy to have around. The adults and kids were all anxious to "get their shots". At the en of the night, the attendant also returned a misplaced purse that was left unattended. Amazingly enough, Bao sent me a link with all of the photos at 2:00 am, only 4 1/2 hours after the event ended. Now that's great service. I can't wait until the next event, so we can use them again. read more

I used them for my wedding reception last yr and was able to get the same livingsocial pricing without actually purchasing the voucher. They were very accommodating with all the various changes i wanted. My wedding guests had tons of fun and the pictures were very good quality. I was also able to customize the border easily. I would also like to personally thank Tony (initial contact) and Quynh for their excellent service. Quynh, especially, gave me a great deal on top of the livingsocial I was interested in and kept on top of all the emails back and forth up until the last week before the wedding. So, why the 2 stars? I was not able to get a name for the photobooth attendant until 3 days before the event, which was a bit nerve wracking. I was promised this 2 wks before the event. I had to get all the details/contact to my wedding coordinator, but this was unavailable. Also, the photo attendant did not provide great service. I understand that the booth is fairly self-service, but he was sitting down and playing on his phone the entire time, not acknowledging the guests or making sure the line was flowing. Not only that, but he had the nerve to demand a gratuity for this service. As I understand, gratuity was not mandatory and was definitely not deserved his behavior, especially for such an important event. For this reason, i would not use Mementostrip again. However, given that my wedding was about a yr ago, things may have changed, but tread at your own risk. read more

I reached out to Mementostrip via email to inquire. I was in contact with Bao for most of the communication. Bao was super responsive in answering all my questions in a timely manner. Booking Mementostrip was a breeze and they happened to be a preferred vendor at my venue (a coincidence and a plus). I chose their standard frame template and font. I wish they had more options but I wasn't too picky. One thing to note was that our standard package only came with (1) 4x6 or (2) 2x6. It is not unlimited prints. However, all photos are available through an online gallery which I could easily send to guests. The gallery was available just a couple days after the wedding. Super fast! One thing I want to note was in my email communications, I specifically asked for a gold sequin backdrop (to match the frame I chose which was black and gold). On the day of the wedding, the backdrop was a silver sequin backdrop. I didn't say anything because I didn't want to concentrate on such a small detail but it would have been nice to get the backdrop I requested. I didn't get any communication that they backdrop wasn't available or would be different. Not sure what happened there. read more

What a professional and overall great guy. Tony donated his time and money and came out to the American Cancer Society - Bark For Live event and gave his full effort to support and serve the community. The booth itself was amazing as it was roomy, user friendly, has lots of props to choose from and most importantly printed high quality photos. I've seen and rented dozens of booths in the past and Memento Strip is indeed one of the best in the area. As a side note, I remember seeing Tony talking to one of the elderly ladies during the event and explained to her how to use the booth. It was the elder lady's first time and she was amazed by it. The lady took a set of beautiful photo with her doggy and had ton of fun doing so. Sometimes you can't describe true joy and Tony and his services provided just that! Truly amazing!!!! read more

Hired mementostrip for my retirement party and all I can say is they are the best!!! I was unsure about hiring a photobooth company, but so happy I did!! The attendant was absolutely awesome!!! Very helpful and attentive. The prints that guests took home were the best party favors!!! Will definitely use them again in the future...worth every penny!! read more

Let me start by saying in the end the bride and groom were happy with the booth, and since it was my gift to them I am happy. I only gave 3 stars because the lack of communication. I received an email 12-5-14, I emailed my booth coordinator and never heard back. I called the day of the event, never heard back. I was so nervous, I didn't want this to ruin my sisters wedding. Another person called at the time the booth was to arrive at the venue. The poor guy he was so uncomfortable. He did arrive ASAP but it was a half hour late. He did stay to fulfill the agreed upon 4 hours. The guests loved the booth, a good time was had by all! Maybe a policy for your coordinators if they decide to not do a job to forward emails to management. The delay made for a very stressful evening. But again they made it right by getting another person. Even though I didn't get my background I wanted.... It still turned out well. read more

We purchased a Living Social and used MementoStrip for our wedding. They traveled up to Napa in late September, had an incredibly reasonable price, and were absolutely phenomonal. We couldn't have been happier with the photobooth! Despite being a little difficult to get a hold of initially, after a few tries, we were able to iron out the contract and the rest was flawless. On the day of, they arrived promptly, and even moved their photobooth once to accomodate our guests during the cocktail hour as well as the dancing reception afterwards. The attendant was very accommodating, and the photobooth was fast and easy to use. I would highly recommend using MementoStrip! read more

Mementostrip was great to work with for our wedding! The booth was super fun and accessible. They were very professional, helped when needed and were respectful and almost unnoticeable when not needed. The props were fun, too. We were a little late with the booking and almost gave up on finding a photo booth available until Mementostrip was available and able to accommodate us. We wanted just plain white strips, which they were able to do, but they have a lot of customization available. They are very affordable as well in the Bay Area! We fully recommend them! read more

I booked MementoStrip for our wedding through a Groupon special. I called first to inquire about availability, and received quick, friendly responses. They were also super easy-going and not pushing about me reserving services with them. I felt very comfortable. A few weeks before the event, I wanted to add props and discuss some changes in timing. Via email, everything was taken care of and my options were explained very clearly. They even added some nerdy calculator and notebook props that I had asked for, if they had them (no pressure if they didn't!). I was able to book some idle time while guests were having dinner, for a lower hourly rate, so that the photobooth could be open during "prime" times of the event. Props provided were not too excessive (too many choices make guests take too long), but just right. Wolverine mask, mini-sombrero, various sized sunglasses, notebooks, calculators, sailor hats, Mickey Mouse Fantasia hat, "OMG/LOL" speech bubbles, and so on. I was very pleased. The day of, the photobooth attendant was very friendly, not invasive, and really let people do their own thing. He helped push the button at first, show people how it worked, etc. One of our guests even took him in for a photobooth shot! The copies came our great that were printed; very cute, clear, and people loved them. The digital copies I received via an email link worked great too. I would highly recommend MementoStrip for any special event. They were professional, friendly, timely, and high-quality. Definitely worth it! read more

I bought a livingsocial deal for a photobooth to have at my birthday party. Every person from this company that I had contact with was friendly and professional! Email correspondence was quick and thorough, the photobooth was set up quickly, and the pictures came out beautifully. The attendant, Kevin, was awesome - he stayed a little over the designated time, which was much appreciated! The props were plentiful and fun. If I had another event, I would not hesitate to use them again. Also, I would highly recommend them to any family or friends! You won't be disappointed :) read more

I chose to use Momentobooth for my wedding a month ago and they were everything I had wanted in a photobooth! I loved the option to have a custom graphic. There were a ton of possibilities to pick from-- I ended up making my own and they helped me put everything together exactly the way I wanted it. They were super flexible and easy to work with. They provided fun props, were professional, and their packages are a really reasonable price. At the end I was given a link to download the album of everyone's pictures, which I thought was really unnecessary at first but was actually really fun to look through :D I'm a pretty picky person but would definitely pick them again for future events and would be happy to recommend them to any of my friends! read more

We used MementoStrip for our annual EyeBall event and it was a hit! Everyone enjoyed the photobooth and was happy with their printouts. They are very easy to work with and really accommodate your needs very well. It was great seeing an overview of all the pictures online that we were able to download and keep as a digital copy as well! The props were great as well! read more

I just used Mementostrip for my wedding this past Saturday, October 4, 2014. I had Mementostrip use a custom graphic which I provided for the prints and although it took some back and forth to get the fonts right, the graphics turned out great. Kevin was also very responsive to all of my emails. The booth attendant(s) were very professional and were able to set up quickly. Plenty of our wedding guests were able to enjoy the booth throughout the 2 hours I had them for. I got a deal on Livingsocial and it was worth every penny. It's October 6th and I'm already in receipt of the online gallery. I can't wait to share them with my guests. I'm sure they'll all trip out. Looking back at these photos coupled with an open bar at the wedding, there are plenty of the most random photos, the ones that make you go "hmmm"... read more

I would definitely recommend and use these guys again! I booked them on somewhat short notice (about 1 1/2 weeks before the wedding), and they were very helpful. I've been to other events with a photo booth, and this was one of the classier setups I've seen. They use a nice black pop-up tent that fits well with a formal event. The attendant was also willing to dress in formal attire to fit into the party. He was very nice and professional. The Groupon deal made it very affordable. I also saved some $$ by bringing my own prop box, because they charge $50 to use theirs. FYI, you can get some cool props from Target's dollar bin, or the thrift store for way under $50! Just sayin'. The pictures came out on their website within a few days, which was cool because people were anxious to see them. Overall - GREAT JOB!! read more

We just had Momentostrip do our wedding and they were fantastic. Professional, courteous and prompt! Needless to say, with an open bar, there were a few obnoxious individuals running around the booth but the attendance was super friendly and patient. I suggest reviewing their props before hand as they have A TON of them available. read more

I threw a Prom themed birthday bash, and loved our photobooth! We went with an open booth (which I recommend since it's hilarious to watch other people taking their pics!) and a silver backdrop. Leading up to the day, we had many changes with the location and our customized design for our event. MementoStrip accommodated everything we asked. Also I really appreciate that even though our event was on Saturday evening, I already received the link to see our pictures online by Monday! read more

A tremendous Thank You to Bao and Memento Strip! We had our wedding banquet on 9/10 and Bao's team was instrumental in making our banquet a success. There were many many moving parts to our banquet - from the decorator showing up late, to our bar running out of ice, to our ice cream station not keeping up with demand, etc etc ... but the one solid reliable piece at our wedding banquet which our guests had a lot of fun with (aside from the delicious food, so I've heard - groom didn't get to eat lol) was the Photo and Video Booth from Memento Strip. Bao and his team showed up early to setup to ensure everything was running smoothly. In addition we had wanted both a Video and Photo Booth for our guests to both record messages and take pictures - because space was limited, Bao, during his consultation with us, was able to customize a booth that had both functions in one - this really helped our space issue and allowed us space for our wishing tree without sacrificing the video messages. Service was great, the attendant was friendly and helpful the entire time, prints came out quickly in high quality and the double prints worked well for our many guests. After the banquet the Memento Strip team even stayed a little bit later and helped us with a few odd and ends! We will undoubtedly be using Memento Strip for our next event! read more

They did an awesome job at our company holiday party! I'm just going through the photos now and it seems everyone was having so much fun! They are now my go to. Thanks guys. read more

Great Services! Quick response easy to book (everything pretty much done via messaging) affordable and reasonable pricing great selection of photo layouts and design Thanks Bao and Staff! We loved our pictures! Definitely recommend MementoStrip to anyone looking for a Photo Booth for their wedding reception. read more

Almost 11 months ago when my then fiancee and now wife were shopping for photo booths for our wedding, we came across Mementostrip. I inquired online and immediately received instructions from Bao and Amy. They were very accommodating with exactly what I was looking for. After a few email exchanges regarding the logistics (which normally is such a pain with many businesses, it was seamless in this case), they assured me that we're all set. Fast forward to wedding day. The attendant arrived early and was set up before guests were allowed to enter. Full of props, a scrap book, double prints, and a smile, guests were fully entertained and had a blast. Unfortunately, the attendant did not receive a meal (whether the vendor forgot or attendant declined), but never once did he complain. I would've been hangry if I was him but guests would have never guessed since he was friendly and had a smile throughout the night. If you're looking for a high quality photo booth with great customer service from beginning to end, look no further and book with them now! read more

Our Photobooth was out of service. These guys responded to our call within an hour or so and were able to show up for our clients wedding when we needed them to. It was such last minute and they saved our business reputation. The client was was satisfied with the experience and had nothing but good things to say. From a client and business associate perspective, I would recommend them to anyone for their service and their response times Cost is very reasonable as well! read more

My company and I loved working with MementoStrip (MS)! They always responded quickly to my emails (I had lots of questions) and were great in helping me design and customize the photo strip. The photo booth was a HUGE hit the night of the company party in Lafayette. The attendants were so nice and worked great will all my guests (adults and children). With a limited budget, MS was able to work with us while providing a high quality of service and product (the photos looked amazing). With our wonderfully positive experience, I can't recommend them enough! You definitely cannot go wrong with booking MS for your next event! Highlights: Friendly and professional staff Digital copies of the photos High quality photos Tons of fun props Customized design for any type of event Popular with all ages Different package options read more

I hired Mementostrip for a Kickball Prom I was organizing this past Friday, and it was a GREAT experience. I had originally discovered them via their LivingSocial deal. I was able to booth the booth at the LivingSocial price without first purchasing the deal, which was actually super helpful as I was not the holder of the credit card. The booking was super easy, and we opted to pay extra for a prop box and nicer backdrop. On the day of the event, our photo butler was super prompt (actually, early - definitely beating me to the venue) and an all around great guy. The photobooth was a SMASHING SUCCESS because, really, who DOESN'T like a photobooth? The prop options were great, and I personally loved the chalkboard signs. We got two copies of the photo strips at the event, and last night I received the link for the hi-res versions. I would absolutely recommend Mementostrip to others, and use them again myself. read more

I'm so impressed by the quality of service provided by MementoStrip. I've actually used MementoStrip for two events now and each time they delivered high quality photos and I was always met with helpful and happy staff. Everyone from the graphics designer to the photographer handling the event were very professional. The graphics designer helped create a custom design that we asked for and it came out even better than expected! The photo booth operated smoothly - it was a such a fun and memorable experience for my family and friends. Thanks MementoStrip for being a part of our celebration! read more
