Out of every vendor we hired at our wedding this one was by FAR THE WORST. Not only did we not get everything that we were promised and paid for, like an album which we paid the attendant to buy us one (was a very cheap crappy one), we have yet to receive our digital prints. The icing on the cake was the attendant left 2 hours into the 5 hours we paid for into our wedding to GO TO HIS OTHER JOB. The attendant also called me prior to the wedding to tell me how much of a scam Marvin is and the company My Events and Celebrations is. The images of the photos were poor quality as well. 100% was not worth the money we paid.
DO NOT GIVE THIS COMPANY ANY OF YOUR MONEY
If I could give them a ZERO I would!! The person that actually brought the photo booth to my wedding was awesome but the company its self is terrible. My wedding was 8/31/2019 and I still have not received my digitals as promised. "Marvin" is a liar. He even blocked my cell number from calling him. All he has is excuses. I am not asking for anything that I did not pay for and was promised. Please take them down before they ruin someone elses wedding!!!!!
Take this vendor down! They have several complaints from the BBB. Do not use these people.
We hired them for our June 2019 wedding and still have not received our digital prints. No one has contacted us back and our phone number was blocked!
WARNING!! This place is a scam. They never showed up and they didn't give me the money I paid. This was extremely disappointing they are running this scam on most of their customers.
Worst photo booth I have ever witnessed. The equipment was dated and only produced dark and dingy photos although mid event we did attempt to move the setup to a better lit area. Also there was no extra lighting with the setup as mentioned on the invoice. The attendant and his girlfriend were dressed less than appropriate and were unprofessional. For a working a evening wedding event there were wearing shorts a T-shirt and ripped jeans!
If I could give a ZERO stars I would. Contracted them for a school dance and they never showed up. Once they take deposit or payment they never pick up the phone. Contacted the BBB to file a complaint. Total scam!
Like others in this thread, run the other way. It took weekly calls and several months to get digital prints. We never received the scrapbook which was clearly promised in the contract. Booth broke down for part of the evening. Customer service is non-existent. No follow up or accountability. Small nit, but they were unable to remove their logo from the prints. It would've been nice to open an album and not see "My Events and Celebrations" a half dozen times per page. Not worth the savings.
RUN away from this company!!!! SO unprofessional! They didn't deliver on anything they told me I would receive. I did not get a guest book with copies of every picture. It is next to impossible to get anyone to email back and forget trying to get anyone on the phone. The attendant wasn't confirmed until the day before even though I'd been asking for months. The attendant arrived late and was setting up as my guests were arriving. The props were extremely old and damaged. It took the team forever to to get the design on the strip right. The print quality was also EXTREMELY POOR!
This company is extremely unprofessional and is very likely to ruin your event. Please read all reviews including the complaints against them at the Better Business Bureau's website before you book with them https://www.bbb.org/us/il/oak-brook/profile/photo-booth-rental/my-events-and-celebrations-0654-90018763
I recently used their services and the equipment was faulty. The booth was only operational for half of the event. When I reached out to Mark Johnson for a partial refund for the inconvenience he was very dismissive and rude. After one response from him he stopped responding to my requests for a resolution. It has been a week now and I have not even received a simple apology let alone a refund. Heed the warnings and go elsewhere.
SCAM!! Please do yourself a favor and do not hire this company like we did for our wedding. It was a 3 month hassle even trying to get a hold of them. Marvin is the only one behind this whole company, and he has zero idea what he’s doing, he just took our payment, and never answered our calls again. He only answered our calls from random phone numbers. He told us he would give us a full refund for all our troubles, and after 10 days of no refund in our account, we called back from another random number. He said he doesn’t have access to give us a refund, he just didn’t know what to say anymore. Please avoid at all costs, this was the only thing that cost my wife grief during our wedding planning.
I found this company on Groupon, when I called to make sure the date was available they did convince me that for just a little more money I could have a lot more than what was included in the Groupon.
Before the wedding they were quick to respond and did design/personalize our photo strip. They showed up and set up on the day of the wedding. The photos were OK quality, they did blur easily if you moved.
If I had just booked with the Groupon like I was originally going to, my rating may have been higher. The package I was sold was supposed to include a photo book and digital copies of all the photo strips. I never received the book. I emailed a few weeks after to find out how long it would take to get the digital images and never received an answer.
When I decided to call and follow up with them it was really hard to get in touch, no one was answering the phone. When we did eventually get in touch with them I explained what happened and was assured that I would still get my photos. It’s been over 2 months since my wedding and I am not holding out hope that I am getting them at this point. I’m definitely disappointed.
I believe that as a customer you should get what you pay for. I feel that there wasn’t a lot of concern involved on the company’s end and would like other couples to know it may be best to book with someone else. I would also be wary of so many of the 5 star reviews being posted on the same day.
These reviews are on the website itself. Read the google reviews. Multiple people including myself and my wife were defrauded. These people will not show up to your event and will still take your money. They will NOT refund it though they promise they will. They have done this to multiple people and those too have not received a refund. When you call the guy that sets up your event, you'll ask for a manager and he'll say that only the manager can grant the refund. I believe there is NO manager and that he's the manager. I dont know that as a fact but others will also confirm that they cannot get ahold of the "manager". I'm sure he really does provide photobooth services, but only when he wants to, not when the paying customer wants to.
They're not BBB accredited. Please stay away from these people! They will take your deposit upfront and then charge the rest on the day of the event and never show up. They make pitiful excuses and fake apologies.
These folks are thieves and they believe that since the amounts of money are seemingly small in comparison to a wedding that no one will fight back. They're wrong.
Excellent offer on their package, top quality photos, friendly booth attendant.
Loved My Events and Celebrations. Doesn't look tacky and they are lovely to deal with
Used My Events and Celebrations for both out engagement party and our Wedding. Definitely a must have, so much fun and captures so many great moments from the night. Friendly and helpful staff! Thank you.
Thank you My Events and Celebrations for an outstanding photo booth. From the very beginning, you provided friendly and professional service with clear communication leading up to the wedding day. Our wedding guests absolutely loved the photo prints and it was fantastic to receive a USB with all the photos from the night and a fun highlight reel. We cannot recommend you highly enough.
Our guests didn't know about this and loved it! We loved looking through the photo book and their messages! My Events and Celebrations were very accommodating and helpful during the process!
Highly recommend them. They make the process easy through their online portal and app and guests loved the features of being able to print out images they had taken on their phone from the booth as well as being able to download copies. Attendant was fantastic and friendly. Great value and service.
The props weren't as good as expected. I wish I would've known they were just little handheld ones. The staff however were really great and the photos were good too.
Outstanding photo booth! Professional and friendly service. Incredible value for money. Our guests LOVED the booth!!!
Very professional and a joy to deal with. So much fun! The photos were hilarious
High quality, lots of room, personalised, amazing!
Best thing we ever did was the photo booth!!! Kids loved it guests loved it we loved it!! Attendant did his best. But we have some great memories in the photobook
I will definitely be using My Events and Celebrations again! From the outside, their photo booth looks very professional and classy, which is exactly what we wanted at our wedding. The attended that is supplied with the Photo Booth was also a deciding factor to choose My Events and Celebrations. On the night of the wedding, he ensured that the photos were actually stuck in our guestbook so we have a great memory book to look back on.
Highly recommend a photo booth from My Events and Celebrations for a unique (and incredibly fun!) touch to your wedding!
Cost a little bit more than what I wanted to spend but it was definitely worth it. They are a quality company. The end products were great and everyone loved the photo booth. I picked this one because you can leave video messages and take your own photos and have them printed out at the booth.
The service of these guys is seriously above and beyond - there website is amazing, they have a portal you can sign into to help with the set up of the booth and have great service before, during and after the event - highly recommend.
My Events and Celebrations was so easy to work with and if you wanted an extra print of a picture they were able to do it straight away. Our guest absolutely loved the photobooth.
My wife and I really regret not being able to take some photos in there on the night but it seemed like our guests had a lot of fun. The service was very great!
My Events and Celebrations were amazing to work with, they were timely and have a great portal! On the night so many guests used the Photo Booth and we were so glad they provided props and a guest book for memories!
My Events and Celebrations set up everything. They captured some great moments, even ones that we thought we might've missed
My Events and Celebrations were good with communication. The quality was great. I couldnt fault their photo work. The attendant was good.
We loved having My Events and Celebrations at our wedding. All the guests loved it and had lots of fun with it.
So much fun, the guests loved it! The album and digital images are a great keepsake. Very professional and friendly service.
From the moment we booked with My Events and Celebrations, they had excellent communication and attentive service. The experience and option of choosing your booth décor is fun and an added bonus to seamlessly fit in with your style. All our guests absolutely loved the booth and we are so happy we booked it. It was great to have a laugh with friends and family. It brings a smile to our faces to look back after the wedding on the fun moments captured. Big thank you for helping make our night extra special and coordinating our guestbook.
Photobooth quality was exceptional and the staff attending was fun and engaging. The option for guests to print from their phones was a hit. Service from start to finish was smooth.
My Events and Celebrations staff were amazing on our wedding night ! Our assistant was so happy, helpful and fun !
We loved our booth from My Events and Celebrations and so did our guests. The Booth is incredibly easy to use and our attendant was lovely. Would definitely use them again.
Great booth!!! Everyone LOVED it and had a heap of fun using it for the night. Photo quality was amazing, lots of choice with backgrounds and personalization, great add-ons for a fixed cost. The best thing we did for our guests and they loved it!
Best photo booth ever!!! My Events and Celebrations was fantastic to work with, really honest, helpful and modified our photo template to match our invites with no issues.. Our booth attendant on the day was lovely - fantastic service, great props, would definitely use them again!!!
Great booth, everyone loved it. Lots of inclusions My Events and Celebrations was great.
Worth every penny, the booth worked overtime really it was never unoccupied, and we were impressed with the picture quality as well as our slide shows.
Customer service was amazing! We had a few hiccups on the night with the Photo Booth not working properly but they got on to fixing it quickly for us.
The quality of the booth is brilliant, the package options cover all avenues and the attendant on the day was awesome. My Events and Celebrations is classy and fun, our guests really got into it and now we have the awesome guestbook to make us laugh and cry for years to come.
What a great fun addition to our wedding, the guests loved it and so did we. The booth looked very elegant and professional and the quality of the photos was excellent. The service before, during and after the wedding was great and better than expected.

AMAZING! We're so happy we hired My Events and Celebrations for our wedding. The guests loved it, the photos turned out amazing, their app is awesome and convenient and the attendants were very friendly and did a great job. We highly recommend My Events and Celebrations!!
We weren't going to get a My Events and Celebrations and then had a change of heart after seeing how much fun guests have with them. My Events and Celebrations were terrific. They took care of everything - I barely had to lift a finger. Our guests had a ball, and we loved that My Events and Celebrations can fit so many people when compared to traditional photo booths. The attendant on the night was lovely too.
My Events and Celebrations were extremely professional on the day and their photo quality is really amazing! Our guests loved it, and we would highly recommend!
Great service, multiple options, a wonderful guestbook and really high quality prints. Many guests loved it! Would highly recommend to everyone! (There are plenty of pages in the guestbook they provide)
