Booth basics

How much does a photo booth rental cost in Orange County?

We do not publish set prices, because every event is quoted individually. What moves the number: how many hours you need, whether you want the classic photo booth, the 360 video booth, or both, your backdrop and prop choices, travel distance, and the day of the week. Send us your date, city, and rough guest count and we reply with a custom quote within 24 hours. No deposit is required to get a quote and there is no obligation.

What services do you offer?

We offer a full range of photo and video experiences: a traditional photo booth, a 360 video booth, GIFs, boomerangs, unlimited on-site printing, custom props, themed backdrops, stanchions, and flood lighting. You choose the classic photo booth, the 360 video booth, or both, and we build the setup around your event.

What is a 360 photo booth?

A 360 photo booth is a raised platform your guests stand on while a camera arm orbits them, recording slow-motion video from every angle. The clip renders in a few seconds, gets your event branding applied automatically, and guests text or AirDrop it to themselves on the spot. It is also called a 360 video booth or a 360 spin booth, and it is the single most shared thing at most events we run.

What is the difference between a photo booth and a 360 video booth?

Our photo booth captures photos, GIFs, and boomerangs in seconds and prints them on the spot. The 360 video booth records a slow-motion video as a camera arm orbits you, for a cinematic clip guests share from their phones before they leave. You can book either one on its own, or both together at the same event.

Do you provide props?

Absolutely. We bring a large collection of fun props, and we can also create custom ones to match your event's look and feel, including your logo or event name.

Do you have backdrops?

Yes. We have standard backdrops that give great photo results, plus premium and custom options to match your event's theme and colors.

Can I customize the photo layout or video overlay?

Yes. We personalize every layout and video frame with your logo, event name, and colors, so your guests take home something that truly reflects your event.

Do you offer instant sharing?

Yes. Guests can instantly text, email, WhatsApp, or QR-share their photos, GIFs, and videos right from the booth. No waiting, just instant smiles.

Booking and logistics

What types of events do you cover?

We have helped create memories at weddings, birthdays, quinceañeras, corporate events, trade shows, school dances, graduations, brand activations, charity galas, community festivals, and even pet birthday parties. If people are gathering to have fun, we are there.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Aliso Viejo and cover all of Orange County, including Irvine, Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Anaheim, Mission Viejo, Rancho Santa Margarita, Costa Mesa, and Huntington Beach. We also travel to the Inland Empire, North County San Diego, and south Los Angeles County. If your city is not listed, just ask. We very likely cover it.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend booking at least 4 to 8 weeks in advance to secure your date, especially during peak seasons like weddings, holidays, and graduation time. Last-minute bookings may be possible depending on availability, so it is always worth asking.

How do I book or get a quote?

Just fill out our short contact form with your event details: the date, time, location, and what you are looking for. We will send a custom quote within 24 hours and help plan the perfect setup.

How much space do you need for the setup?

We recommend a space of at least 10 by 10 feet so guests can move comfortably around the photo booth or 360 video booth, plus access to a standard power outlet within 15 feet of the setup area.

Are you insured?

Yes, SoCalFun365 is fully insured. If your venue requires proof of insurance, let us know and we can provide a certificate of insurance ahead of your event.

On the day

Do you provide an attendant?

Every booking comes with a friendly on-site attendant who sets up, runs, and manages the booth so you can focus on having fun. You never have to touch the equipment.

How long does setup take?

Our team arrives ahead of your start time to deliver, set up, and test everything before your first guest arrives, so the booth is ready to go the moment your event begins. Setup and teardown are always included, never counted against your booth time.

Can you set up outdoors?

Yes, we love outdoor events. We just ask for a flat, shaded, or covered area with access to power, and a backup indoor option in case of extreme weather, since the equipment needs to stay protected from rain, wind, and direct heat.

How long can we access our photos afterward?

Every event comes with a personalized online gallery of all your photos, GIFs, and videos, available for 5 months after your event at no additional cost. You also keep unlimited digital copies from the day itself.

Can you do a pet birthday party?

Yes. We offer a dedicated pet-friendly booth with pet-safe equipment, low-flash settings, and pet-sized props. You can learn more on our Pet Birthdays page.
