Start with what you want guests to do and take home. A roaming photo experience, a glam portrait station and a robotic drawing activation serve different purposes—even when they appear at the same event. This guide compares Hollywood Photo Booth’s options for weddings, corporate events, conventions and brand activations in Los Angeles and nationwide.
Since 2006, Hollywood Photo Booth has produced more than 10,000 events, including hundreds of conventions, conferences and corporate events. Use the comparisons below to narrow your choices, then ask us to recommend a setup for your venue and schedule.

Formats, branding, staffing and deliverables vary by proposal. Your tailored quote confirms exactly what is included.
AI Roamer: bring the experience to your guests
Choose the AI Roaming Photo Booth when you want photo opportunities throughout the room rather than asking every guest to visit a fixed station. It can capture branded photos, GIFs, Boomerangs, green-screen experiences, video and AI-generated content.
A good fit: cocktail receptions, networking events and celebrations where guests are spread across several areas. Plan for: a clear route through the event, your preferred content formats, branding and how guests will receive their content. Tell us whether the event moves between rooms or floors.
360° Video Booth: a shareable video moment
The 360 Photo Booth captures guests while a camera moves around the platform. Choose it when movement, poses and short social videos matter more than a printed portrait.
A good fit: brand activations, company celebrations and wedding receptions with a dedicated activity area. Plan for: the platform and camera movement, a guest queue, power, internet and venue access. Our published setup calls for a 10-foot-wide by 8-foot-long by 8-foot-high space, two 15-amp outlets and venue Wi-Fi or internet; confirm the final arrangement with our team.
Beauty Booth: polished portraits and printed keepsakes
Our Beauty Booth, also called a glam booth, focuses on portrait photography with our Glam filter and instant prints. It is a strong choice when you want guests to leave with a photograph of themselves, their partner or their friends.
A good fit: weddings, galas, milestone celebrations and corporate receptions. Plan for: the portrait area, backdrop, lighting, group sizes and print design. Tell us whether you want a classic black-and-white look and which print and digital options should be included.
Doodle Bot: live robotic drawing and a personal souvenir
With Doodle Bot drawing robot rentals, a guest photo becomes a portrait that a robot draws on paper. Watching the drawing happen is part of the attraction. This is different from printing an AI-generated image.
A good fit: trade shows, conferences, brand activations and parties where guests can pause to watch. Plan for: the number of robots, drawing style, paper, guest queue and service hours. Cloud-based experiences require reliable internet; the selected mode and venue setup should be confirmed in your quote. Discuss branding before the event so artwork can be prepared.
Photo Mosaic Wall: build something together
A Photo Mosaic Wall combines individual guest photos into one larger image as the event progresses. Choose it when the shared picture—a logo, campaign image or celebration design—is central to the experience.
A good fit: conferences, employee events and brand activations with a collective message. Plan for: the final artwork, display location, photo collection and participation throughout the event. Our Photo Mosaic + Sticker Prints option includes a photo booth; confirm the format and deliverables for your proposal.
AI Trading Cards: make each guest a collectible
The AI Trading Card Experience combines a captured portrait with a chosen player name and concept. Guests receive custom artwork on a premium printed card, a protective holder and a digital copy. The experience includes a Selfie Booth, AI image generation, custom card design, onsite printing, premium card holders, digital delivery and event branding.
A good fit: themed activations, fan experiences and team celebrations. Plan for: the card concept, artwork approval, personalization choices and guest flow. Share your attendance and schedule so we can recommend an appropriate production setup.
Red Carpet GlamBot: a directed cinematic moment
The Red Carpet GlamBot uses robotic cinematic slow-motion capture with professional studio lighting, branded graphics and digital delivery. Social-ready vertical video, an onsite attendant and custom intro/outro graphics are part of the offer.
A good fit: arrivals, premieres, galas and launches built around a red-carpet moment. Plan for: a dedicated capture area, lighting, guest direction and the venue layout. Ask us to confirm the equipment clearance and arrival schedule.
Other photo booth options worth considering
For group portraits and a familiar photo station, explore the Open Air Photo Booth. For a themed virtual setting, consider the Green Screen Photo Booth. These may suit your event better when straightforward photos or a specific visual theme are the priority.
Which experience fits your event?
Wedding: Start with Beauty Booth for portraits and prints, or 360 for video. Add a roaming experience if you want photos beyond a fixed booth location.
Conference or trade show: Consider Doodle Bot for a live demonstration and physical takeaway, Mosaic for collective participation, or AI Trading Cards for personalized collectibles. Tell us your booth dimensions and when attendees are likely to arrive.
Corporate reception or launch: Choose AI Roamer for mingling, Beauty Booth for portraits, or 360 and GlamBot for distinct video experiences. Select one main objective before adding options.
Large guest list: Attendance alone does not determine capacity. The participation rate, length of each interaction, number of stations and peak arrival periods also matter. Ask us to plan for your busiest window rather than assuming every guest will participate evenly throughout the event.
