How do you get friends & family excited about your wedding reception? Tell them there's going to be a photo booth! Photo Booth Mania seems to have poised themselves in the budget-friendly side of the photo booth rental niche. Once on site, they set up a small tent that they drape in curtains. Then a laptop, DSLR and remote shutter trigger are set up. A table is place nearby with a printer for all of your lovely prints. It's a pretty simple and painless process for your guests. Besides, a friendly and informative rep from Photo Booth Mania is there the entire time to help expedite everything. The rep lets each guest know what to expect and even gives them any special instructions you would like conveyed. For example, at the particular reception I attended the printouts came out in two columns. One was your party favor, and the other could be used to cut out and placed in the bridal scrapbook. The icing on the cake (yes, I went there) is that you can see all of the pictures taken that day on their site. The album is password-protected so you don't have lookey-loo's going through your event's pictures. Wait, what's the password? Yeah, they thought of that too. Each of the prints has the site info and password printed on it. From what I could tell, it was a big hit with the guests. I'm sure the newlyweds will cherish their CD with all of our hilarious pictures on it. I know you were curious, so I asked. You can take pictures of whatever you want once you're in the booth and the curtain is closed, just make sure your butt doesn't touch any of their equipment. read more

My husband and I knew we wanted a photo booth for our wedding reception, but there were so many to choose from. But once we found Photo Booth Mania, we knew they were the best company to hire for our day. I called and spoke to owner, Michael, and he was extremely professional, but also friendly and flexible to our schedule and full of great advice on how to best use the photo booth on our wedding day. The pictures came out great, and the line was constantly moving from start to finish. Our guests loved being able to take home the memento of the photo strips and had so much fun with it. In the meantime, Michael was on hand throughout it all to help with instructions and advice. Another great point about Photo Booth Mania over some of the other companies is the curtained booth. That made it flexible to privately take pictures just of two, but when we wanted the option, to squeeze in ten or more friends and family members. Finally, at the end of the evening. Michael gave us a DVD of all the images taken at the event so we could see them right away and even had the images posted by the next morning for all of our guests to access and view. It was a Sunday, too! I would definitely recommend Photo Booth Mania to anyone looking for a unique, extremely fun addition to your wedding or event. read more

Photo Bomb!!! Photo Booth Mania provided their services at our good friend's wedding recently and it was the greatest thing ever. How things have evolved since I got married. We used an instant camera and scissors but it had the same effect it would seem, but i digress. It's funny to see the evolution of pictures that were taken throughout the evening, especially since it was a wedding and you know there was a lot of alcohol going around. At first, it was very timid, a few funny faces and poses, but by the end of the night, there were 10-12 people trying to get in the booth and also people posing a little bit more provocatively. Real bits of evidence that cannot be hidden for future bribes! The operator (owner I presume) was very easy going and allowed all the craziness to happen. Just one strict rule, no drinks in the booth, understandably since liquid and electronics do not wed. Other than that, anything else pretty much goes. The line was constant the whole night and it kept on moving. People were given the option to paste their photos and messages in a photo book after they were done. A great memento for any occasion. Also, a DVD is given to the renters with all the photos and the photos are also posted online at their website soon after the event. Lots of chances to see any emBAREASSing moments. None at ours unfortunately. I feel that this would a real winner at any social event such as kid's parties or anniversaries or reunions. It's a great idea that is soon to be a regular item at any event for sure. But don't be fooled by the rest. Go with Photo Booth Mania if you want the very best. read more

This is the second time Ive used Photo Booth Mania and again it was a complete success. Ive used them for my wedding and now a friends "Quince". Mike was prompt with all emails and questions. Nothing but good feedback from all the guest. Professional and reasonably priced. I would definitely use again. Highly recommended. read more

Photo booth Mania was a great success at my sisters 30th birthday party! It was great entertainment and created lasting memories. We added a scrapbook for guests to paste their extra pictures in it and write a note...she loved this surprise! There were a lot of props to choose from as well! Michael, the owner, was a pleasure to work with. He's a really sweet guy with a lot of insight and ideas about how to make the booth work to your best advantage. He was easy to get a hold of and always willing to help whenever we needed him. Their prices are fantastic compared to other photo boots we looked into. The quality of pictures were amazing. They would get printed with in the minute of taking the pictures in the booth. There were no issues, jams or delays in printing, although I am pretty sure we overworked the booth non-stop for two hours at the party! not only do we get prints right away, but we also get a full gallery to look at and a cd with all the pictures just a few days later. Will definitely work with Michael again for future rentals. Thanks again for a great experience with beautiful pictures pasted on my mirror that i get to look at everyday....because really, who prints pictures anymore!? Im very grateful! read more

The event was Prom. This was my first photo booth experience and I was super happy with it so I'm giving it 5 stars. But that's not the only reason why. Michael does a great job reminding me of deadlines and of being very patient when I keep pushing due dates back. I didn't mean to. I just got so busy but he kept me on my toes! lol But most importantly his prints were high quality. I was expecting something flimsy or just mediocre but I was extremely surprised at how great thick the photo paper was and how the sharp and clear the pictures were. And it was unlimited. We had kids and staff going back for more and more and more and more......... Now the props...I think they have plenty for the price they charge but of course I would've loved to see more unique items (that's just me loving unique stuff). I hope by next year when I book them again I'll see more things like feathers or more color boas or much more fun wigs and caps and masks. :) Fun glasses wouldn't hurt. :) So yeah, that's the ONLY thing I think they can improve on. I would've loved to see 2 boxes next time. :) Derek was really cool and his enthusiasm was up throughout the night. He was kind and pleasant to the kids and the staff. The booth was pretty neat. You can't really fit a huge group but it's a photobooth not a camera with a big fun background. You got professional photographers for that. This is fun and meant to be small. :) Our kids were able to fit about 8 in there. I can understand from one review why Michael might come off as scolding someone. But that email she got was the same email I got and I figured he's not just saying it to one person in particular. Does he care about his customers? Sure. Does he really stand behind his work and quality? Yep. Will I use him again? For sure! I'm already planning prom 2015 and I'll be contacting him again for sure and let others know about him if they need a photobooth. read more

Michael was terrific yesterday at our daughter's birthday party! He was prompt, and our guests had a great time. The photo booth equipment worked great, and things went without a hitch. Photo quality was excellent, and the printouts look great. He also provides a link (password protected if you'd like) to a website for online viewing and sharing, and will be providing a DVD in the mail. I looked around quite a bit, and researched the various booth providers in the LA area. I found Photo Booth Mania to be competitive price-wise, but what was most important to me was a seamless and fun experience for our party, with quality photos and a professional service provider. Photo Booth Mania provided all of these things. Thank you! read more

Photo Booth Mania made the wedding!!!! I used Photo Booth Mania at my wedding on September 9, 2011 in Camarillo and I am so happy that I did. Every guest at my wedding had so much fun in the photo booth and the scrapbook we came home with is PRICELESS!!! It really broke the ice and made our wedding so much fun. EVERYONE keeps telling me how amazing it was and how nice Michael (The Owner/Photo Booth Operator) was. Photo Booth Mania was on-time and always quick to respond to my emails and calls in the weeks leading up to my wedding (which as a stressed out Bride... Meant a LOT!). The prices are totally reasonable and the value of having a photo booth on your special day is extremely high. We even had a couple guests order custom photo gifts from Photo Booth Mania and give them to us after the event... We will treasure these gifts forever. Thank you Photo Booth Mania.... You are awesome! Sincerely, Dallas read more

Our technician showed up early to set up, and stayed late as well. He took the time to help the students with each and every shot, making sure they were positioned right and the photo was the best possible. Immediate beautiful prints. Tons of great props. It was really perfect. Thanks Photo Booth Mania. Will absolutely continue to use you for future events. read more

We used Photo Booth Mania for our wedding on September 19, 2009 in Newport Beach. It was hands down the biggest hit of the night! We looked around for vendors for about 6 months. I'll tell you this: be VERY CAREFUL about who you choose for your photo booth vendor. Many vendors are unreliable and unprofessional. I had a friend who used someone and they showed up almost two ours late. Many firms will also send staff that aren't exactly presentable. I've heard all the horror stories in researching vendors. However, Photo Booth Mania was an outstanding experience. Very professional. Smoothly run the entire night. There were no issues at all. Michael is the owner and will take good care of you. He understands that you are renting a photo booth for a special day and that experience could make or break the party/wedding/event. Everyone at our wedding absolutely loved the photo booth. I would recommend using props, too. (i.e. afros, clown hats, crazy glasses, mullet wig, or anything that's silly). The more inebriated people become, the funnier the pictures. One of the things Photo Booth Mania does that 3 of my other friends who rented photo booths did not get is that ALL photos are posted online so people can see them and buy prints of what they want. Photo Booth Mania also get a DVD with all of the pictures on it, too. Each guest gets two printouts after using the booth as well. Frankly, I think having a photo booth at a wedding is a MUST. Michael at Photo Booth Mania runs an excellent outfit. I recommend him without hesitation. He made our night! Joe Bowerbank read more

I found Michael online, in desperation, after firing another flaky photo booth guy 2 days before my event. Michael was very professional and knowledgeable. Within a couple of hours he had a design for my approval and we were ready to go! Communication was fast and easy and he responded to my questions promptly. Derek the booth attendant was also professional and helpful with my guests. My guest received high quality prints and were able to see all the pictures from that night online the next day. A cd of all pics is included in cost. Overall, it was a great experience and I would highly recommend. A few things they can do a bit better would be to offer a more options regarding backgrounds (even though the pictures came out great) and I would have liked more props, especially since you have to pay for that option. The shutter speed on the camera was a bit slow, I would have liked more consecutive shots and I wish they accepted credit cards as payment. read more

What a wonderful addition to our Mardi Gras event! The entire experience, from calling to book the booth all the way through to the attendant who worked the booth was wonderful! This company really takes the time to explain all of the details and want you to be completely happy with every aspect, A very positive customer service approach. We have found the only photo booth company we will need for our fundraising events. Call Michael to book your event. He will take you through everything and is a pleasure to work with, Our attendant Derek was great too!! read more

Would have loved to hire Photobooth Mania for our wedding, but was turned off by the initial email exchange. This review is based solely on that experience. I found this company through a google search and liked what I saw. I submitted my information for a quote, along with a question about the possibility of a boothless photo booth. I have been to a few events that had this and they were so much fun. It felt like posing in front of paparazzi and it was awesome trying to fit in as many people as we could. What I got in response was a huge wall of text, first scolding me that open air photobooths "will not provide they exciting photos that a photo booth will," then scolding me for looking for inexpensive photo booths: "The most important element in hiring a photo booth provider today is not price, but reputation and experience. Price, of course, is important, but what good does it do you to save 50 or 100 dollars if you (and your guests) are totally disappointed with the photo booth you hired. NEVER rent a photo booth based strictly on price alone, and NEVER rent a photo booth without talking extensively with your photo booth provider. If you do, there is a good chance you will be disappointed; in some cases, shockingly so. We strongly suggest that you DO NOT rent a photo booth from anyone before calling us to learn FREE about the type of companies operating in the digital event photo booth industry right now. . . .Please keep in mind that if you rent a photo booth based strictly on price, there is every possibility you will be greatly disappointed. Recently, there have been a lot of people entering the photo booth business, and not all of them are very good at it. It's important to ask the right questions when renting a photo booth, and be on the alert for low-ball rental prices. There are many companies offering photo booth rentals. But if you read the fine print, some of them also use names like "unenclosed photo booths", "open air photo booths", "mobile studios with custom backdrops", and, my personal favorite, "photo booths without walls". One of the ads says, "The photo [booth] studio includes a camera, backdrop, lighting, umbrellas and even props!" I'm sure these are all fine ideas, but there must be some minimum requirements with regard to what qualifies as a photo booth." (This is about half of what was in the actual email) I don't appreciate scare tactics from vendors. If you are going to give me unsolicited advice, you can state your facts and opinions without being condescending. The final straw was the constant insertion of being so-and-so's preferred vendor in the email and the very long list of venues at which they've worked. Good for them, but putting it at the end of this gem of an email sealed the deal. Luckily, after this aneurysm inducing email exchange, I did find a fantastic photo booth company with comparable pricing (less, actually) run by a friendly, easy going, business savvy owner and provide a high level of customer service with amazing photos. read more

I booked Photo Booth Mania for my wedding. I explained to Michael, the owner, that I wanted the photo booth attendant to help the guests with the scrapbook I wanted the guests put their photos in and write messages, since operating the photobooth entails pushing a button. He even had me write it in the contract my request. For some reason Michael showed up as the attendant. I had soooooo many complaints about him being anal retentive. On several occassions he asked my guests to leave the photo booth because they pushed the button at the right time. I have been to other events with other photo booths and they allow drinks inside, nope not this one. I don't recommend this company if you are going to have adults present at your event. read more

I'm part of an organization that hosts large events around the Los Angeles area. One such event was a Gospel Brunch at The House of Blues. I was in charge of finding entertainment for our VIP portion of the event and thought that having a photo booth would be a fun and interesting way to entertain our guests. I contacted Michael, the owner of Photo Booth Mania, and he took care of everything. Not only was he extremely professional, courteous, and easy to work with, but the photo booth was also the hit of our event! Many prominent Angelinos in attendance at the event were seen making funny faces and letting loose for a moment, and all commented on how much fun they had taking pictures. I especially loved that he let us choose whether we wanted our photos in black and white or color and the digital nature of his booth seemed fresh and technologically-forward. I've since recommended his services to other professional organizations, and would certainly suggest his company to anyone looking for a fun and exciting way to entertain guests at an event. I know that you won't be disappointed! read more

There were a lot of things that made my wedding cool. A caravan of Old Chevys, Rose Petal showers, 2 tattooed girlies serving gelato, a photo guest book signing area, taco bar buffet, OPEN BAR!! I left out one attraction that has been the most talked about; the photo booth. It was a hit! People went back for 2nd and 3rd rounds. Michael was so friendly and attentive. It was easy to operate, and the prints came out great. Michael had a few suggestions that the added great personal touches. He had the best rates and offers so much! I highly recommend. read more

Photo Booth Mania did a fabulous job at our holiday event recently. The photo booth operator arrived on time, set-up quickly and was wonderful the whole night. Everyone loved the photos, and the turn around for receiving our photos was very quick. I'm happy with the experience all around read more

This company is as good as it gets with photo booths!! Fun props, great setup and a really nice operator... Michael was helpful and so accommodating.

Kudos to wonderful service and a fun activity at a great party...I will definitely keep them in mind and use this company again!!! read more

Derek our tech went above and beyond to make sure our daughter's 16th birthday was not only perfectly set up to provide an easy and fun experience for our guests but safely...little things like arranging direct lighting for our scrapbook table and putting duct tape on the corners of the glass table to prevent an unforeseen leg injury! He assisted all our guests to get the best possible pics and the actual prints were very clear and bright. We love that access to your party is available the next day (to share and to order more prints), and am looking forward to receiving our party pics DVD. We will definitely use them again and refer them to anyone and everyone. Thanks Derek and Photo Booth Mania! read more

We hired Photo booth Mania for our annual holiday dinner this weekend and it was a hit! The quality of the photos are great and based on my research they are the only ones that provide, duplicate photos per print. We will definitely hire them for our next events. They are reasonably priced. The booth is not huge so didn't take too much space, the quality of the pictures were great and our attendant was very nice and professional. We even got the CEO and COO to take silly pictures. I highly recommend hiring them for your next event. read more

Michael and his crew have been great to work with! Upon my initial request for more information, I was contacted within minutes. There are a lot of companies out there that provide this service and you want a trustworthy, professional and fun group that you feel safe coming into your school, business or home. Michael has been all of those and more. Already planning to use him for our next event! read more

Photo Booth Mania really exceeded our expectations. Our guests really had a great time with it, and we had a great time viewing the photos after our wedding this past Saturday. Mike is a very thorough and prompt vendor and good to work with throughout the planning process as well as at our reception. The quality of his photobooth images is amazing (much better than other photobooths) and our guests all commented on how this was one of the best photobooth setups they have ever seen. We would highly recommend Photobooth Mania to anyone looking for something to add to their wedding reception. Thanks Mike for all of your help! read more

We hired Photo Booth Mania for our 30-year reunion last weekend. What a great addition it was. Everybody had a lot of fun taking pictures and just acting silly. read more

I've used Photo Booth Mania 4 times now! Michael is such a pleasure to work with, very professional and efficient. All of his staff are polite, prompt, and accommodating. I found them on the internet after calling a few other places, I didn't speak with a robot I spoke with a real person that offered me all the info I was looking for. Photo Booth Mania has been at all of our company parties (200+ people) since I found them. All our guests talk about it for weeks. We are able to go online and see all the photos within days as well as taking home great quality pictures. The graphics that Michael always comes up with are really fun! I cant say enough about this great business. Its great quality all around at an affordable price. I will continue using them for all my events, and recommending them to everyone I know. read more

She was hired through my work. She was really nice and helped us with the taking pictures process. The only downside was that she did not have that many props. I would consider to hire her. read more

I found PBM online by reading Yelp reviews and decided to book them for my wedding and I was very satisfied with their service!! From speaking with Michael and continuous communication via e-mail to Derrick who serviced the booth the day of, Derrick was very professional, attentive, seemed to be happy to be there!! :) We couldn't have been more happy with PBM and would recommend to others and may use in the future for more fun events! Kudos to PBM! read more

I've used Photo Booth Mania twice and plan on hiring him a third time. Michael is great to work with and always available. Derek manned the booth and everyone was pleased with his helpfulness. I highly recommend Photo Booth Mania for any kind of event. read more

I can't say enough nice things about Photo Booth Mania. I found them because they did a great job at another friend's party. Michael, the owner, was tremendously accessible and helpful. Derek, the photo booth monitor at the event, was wonderful - pleasant and helpful. The quality of the photos was amazing (My husband is a photographer, and agrees.). I highly recommend Photo Booth Mania for all of your photo booth needs. read more

We used Photo Booth Mania during our wedding reception on March 23rd. My husband and I, as well as our guests were very pleased with the services. The quality of the pictures are great and the booth was easy to operate. Michael was very pleasant to work with before and during the reception. He was very patient and accommodating with my guests. Michael called me a week after my wedding to follow up and made sure we were satisfied, which I appreciated. I highly recommend Photo Booth Mania and will absolutely use them again! read more

Great fun !! Came to my sons Bar Mitzvah and did a great job. The guests had a great time with it and the pictures were great. I highly recommend. read more

This company is so professional & really accommodating! We hired Michael for an event at the last minute and he was nothing short of amazing...he worked with us on a reasonable budget and cut us a great deal for the value of his service! He was flexible on such short notice and always a delight to work with. AND THE PICTURES ARE SO COOL, WITH A PERSONALIZED LOGO, everyone got to take home a personalized memento of the night to create a special memory. I WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE HIM AGAIN FOR MY NEXT EVENT!!! read more

Here is the break down- Photo Booth's and the price offered by Photo Booth mania and the quality of photobooth mania's photos/photo booth- 5 star The specific photo-booth operator at my wedding- 2 star Average 3- Star My husband and I hired PhotoBoot Mania to provide a photo booth for our wedding in October. The wedding took place in Palm Springs- and PhotoBooth Mania was able to come from LA to Palm Springs for our event. They are very reasonably priced. The photo boot was a HUGE hit at our wedding- all of the guests loved it and I am so happy with the guest book that we now have. I also think that photo booth pictures do make a very nice favor- better than crappy little gifts people always end up throwing away- but are actually pretty expensive. I am sure it was worth the money we spent. Our only issue was with the gentleman who was running the PhotoBooth and who I believe is the proprietor of this business. Michael is the gentleman that we worked with. Payment and communication was very easy. However when he was at our wedding myself and many guests were turned off by his constant self promotion. He had already been hired for the event- however he insisted on "selling" his photobooth services to our guests. He asked guests to review him on yelp and review sites. Many guests came to me and told me they were turned off by this. One couple at our wedding was told by Michael that the photo booth would be open until 10 when it was only available until 9- so they did not get their photo taken. At one point I was talking with some guests- when my brother told me that Michael needed to see me- When I went to find out what was going on - thinking perhaps there was some issue- he reminded me that I had not taken my picture yet. I appreciate that he wanted to make sure I would get a change to use the photo booth- however I was annoyed that he pulled me away from some of my guests. The photo's were great- the value was great- my guests did love having a photo booth. My recommendation is to book Photobooth mania and ask Michael or whoever is operation your photobooth to not ask your guests to promote the business by reviewing it, and ask him not to try to sell his services to the guests. Our photobooth had a table next to it where guests could decorate a page in our guest book- I LOVE THE GUEST BOOK- great keep sake. I would suggest to Michael that this table is a great and appropriate place to put a sign saying "review me on yelp" which are seen at many establishments- and a business card holder- this would be an appropriate and respectful way to market his business at my event. read more

I was pleasantly surprised. I expected a maybe slightly better service than one of the photo booths I had visited at prior parties since the credentials listed by this business were extensive. By the way, don't let the long emails scare you away when you ask for a quote. Anyway, the attendant, Derek, arrived and I was pleased that he didn't freak out when we told him about some of the limitations at the banquet hall. He said we would make it work. He found the right spot to set up and was the most mild-mannered and calm individuals at my 50th birthday party. He greeted everyone with a smile and made my guests feel very comfortable. He was so very patient with the kids too and they were a handful, believe me. He communicated with me whenever necessary and was just plain marvelous. He made a home-made receipt for me when I asked for one since I guess he didn't have one on him. And the best part was the friggin' amazing quality and size of the pictures. They were so much better than any photo booth I had ever been to also. I loved the specially designed logo for our party on the photostrips too. This business and service is just a delight to work with. Between Michael who diligently answered all my emails and Derek, I am one happy 50 year-old and I know a good value and great product when I see it. If you want no worries and a big smile on everyone's face upon seeing your pictures, go with PhotoBooth Mania. read more

Wow, what a wonderful experience. Michael at Photo Booth Mania was extremely easy to deal with through this whole process. The photo booth at my daughter's college graduation party was a hit with all of the guests. Derrick, our very helpful Photo Booth Mania employee, helped everyone to be comfortable using the booth. Thank you, thank you, thank you for a wonderful experience from start to finish. read more

Photo Booth Mania was one of the highlights at my 30 year High School Reunion this past weekend. What a blast!! The attendant was friendly and patient. The pictures were of great quality. I intend to have Booth Mania at all my functions. Great Idea!!! Super fun!! read more

We used Photo Booth Mania last month for my husband's 50th at The Beverly Hills Hotel. Michael was fantastic, extremely helpful over the phone and via email. Nothing was too much trouble. As I was organising from London UK I was 'going in blind' with no recommendation etc. But having spoken with Michael I was completely put at ease. He gives a very good price, I felt it was excellent value for money, the Photo booth assistant was fantastic, very patient with our guests and totally professional. We had many many photos and he made the props easy to use. It was hilarious, lots of fun and the end results are so funny - to be treasured forever. Way better than a professional photographer ! read more

We booked the photo booth for our wedding reception and it was a huge hit!! Michael, the owner, was very professional throughout the whole process and left us nothing to worry about. He was very helpful on the day of the event and kept the line moving for the 300+ guests. We received a DVD of all the pictures immediately after the event as well as a website where guests could log on to see their pictures. The guests loved it and it was a great party favor! We wholeheartedly recommend PhotoBooth Mania for your upcoming event! read more

This is a very fair price. I did a lot of research, and went with this company because Michael answered all my questions promptly and precisely. He was very forthcoming and provided lots of information. Ultimately, I felt I could count on them. Derek handled the booth for my event. He was very nice and friendly and made sure to announce to guests what time the booth would be closing. He also went out of his way to recruit guests the few times the booth had no line. I was a little skeptical to go with them because the outside of the booth isn't very snazzy looking on their website. My hesitation was unfounded when I saw the quality of their photo strips. They are top notch! All of my guests loved the ultimate party favor. read more

Wow!!! What a great company to do business with. The idea is great but you want a company to back it up and Photo Booth Mania did just that at our 30th high school reunion. We all had a ball in the booth and the tech was friendly, helpful and patient with a bunch of half drunk 48 year olds! Thank Photo Booth Mania! read more
