What can I say about the bus booth other than it was the hit of our wedding?!! Not only is Josh a joy to work with, quick to respond to questions and even helps you design your own personalized photo strip, but the details he puts into the set up of the bus are incredible and so beautiful. It added such a cute flare to our wedding and everyone has been raving to us even weeks after our wedding about how much fun it was! The bus booth was packed all night and we LOVE our guest book with copies of all the fun pictures of our friends and family, a treasure we will have to look back on forever. Would

The Bus Booth was awesome and a perfect fit for our event. Our reception venue was packed so it was nice to have the photobooth outside to prevent line congestion inside. The bus was beautiful and everyone loved the new spin on the photobooth idea. They provided props and allowed the guests to email their photo to themselves in addition to having 2 copies. Josh was always super responsive and was great in helping us design our photo. Wouldn't have changed a thing! Thank you, Bus Booth!! Glad you were part of our special day.

Just had The Bus Booth this evening for my birthday and they are AMAZING!! My guests and I had so much fun using their large assortment of props and taking silly pictures. It was nice to not have to worry about taking photos and to just enjoy my party. The Bus Booth is easy to use and delivers high quality pics. I would highly recommend the Bus Booth to everyone for any and all events!

The Bus Booth is a one of the most clever photo booth ideas ever! It's so fun to just hop into a VW Bus with some photobooth props (on to a comfortable bench) and take fun photos with your friends and family! I've been to a couple events where the Bus Booth has been (a classic car event and a 5k walk/run) the quality of service is great, inviting and the photos are clear and perfect to put on your refrigerator or on your desk at work :-) I would highly recommend the Bus Booth for any event! They just drive up to your event and the guests can hop in! It's so fun!

One week before our wedding, I made the executive decision (well let's be honest, I am no longer the executive in the house), to hire a photo booth. After researching options in the Redding area, I came across Josh and The Bus Booth, and I am so glad I did.
Josh, his wife, and Maggie (the bus) were nothing short of fantastic. They arrived early, and left late (our wedding lasted until midnight, so it wasn't a short day for them). They were friendly, amiable to our increasingly inebriated friends, and above all else they have created one of the most unique services I've ever come
