Photo Booth Rental at The Alexandria Ballrooms, Downtown LA, CA
Four ballrooms in one 1906 building in DTLA's Historic Core.
Yes, you can book a photo booth at The Alexandria Ballrooms, the 1906 historic building at 5th and Spring in Downtown LA's Historic Core. Captured Celebrations sets up staffed Oak, Glam, Studio Quality and AI photo booths for weddings, quinceañeras, galas and corporate nights here, with an attendant running the booth all evening.
The Alexandria Ballrooms occupies a singular place in Los Angeles history: a 1906 hotel building on Spring Street in the Historic Core. The venue says its ballrooms hosted Charlie Chaplin's wedding ceremony. Today the building houses four ballroom event spaces: the Palm Court, the Mezz, the King Edward and the Bank Ballroom.
The rooms each have their own character and capacity. The Palm Court is 90 by 50 feet, with arched high ceilings, original chandeliers and Tiffany glass, and holds 260 seated or 500 standing. The Mezz is over 14,000 square feet and holds up to 500 seated or 800 standing. The King Edward holds 200 seated or 400 standing, and the Bank Ballroom holds 150.
The Alexandria Ballrooms attracts a diverse mix of event clients drawn to its Hollywood history, dramatic architectural character, and Historic Core location. Weddings, quinceañeras, corporate galas, and film shoots are all part of its story.
For photo booth activations at the Alexandria, the building's architectural details: chandeliers, Tiffany glass, brick walls, create extraordinary backdrop opportunities.
Planning a Wedding at The Alexandria Ballrooms
The Alexandria Ballrooms is in the 1906 Alexandria Hotel building at 501 S. Spring Street in Downtown LA. The venue lists four rooms: the Palm Court (90 by 50 feet, 260 seated or 500 standing), the Mezz (over 14,000 square feet, 500 seated or 800 standing), the King Edward (90 by 40 feet, 200 seated or 400 standing) and the Bank Ballroom (about 2,500 square feet, 150 guests). The Palm Court has arched high ceilings, original chandeliers and Tiffany glass, with a cocktail lounge just outside.
The venue welcomes outside vendors, and all vendors must be licensed and insured, so we send our certificate of insurance before the date. It gives 15 hours of venue access and ends events at 1 a.m. on Friday and Saturday, midnight on other nights. It does not publish a load-in route or photo booth rules, so ask your coordinator where the attendant should park and load in.
In the Palm Court, a booth usually fits best in the cocktail lounge area or along a side wall, away from the dance floor you bring in, so the line does not block it. In the Mezz, look near the brick walls away from the entrance staircase. Oak and Studio Quality suit chandeliers and gold leaf. Glam keeps a big crowd moving. Confirm the spot with your coordinator.

Photo Booth at The Alexandria Ballrooms: FAQ
Which room at The Alexandria Ballrooms is best for a photo booth?
The venue lists four rooms, and the best one is simply where your guests will be. In the Palm Court, a booth usually fits best in the cocktail lounge area or along a side wall. In the Mezz, there is room along the brick walls. Your coordinator confirms the exact spot, and we plan setup around it.
Does The Alexandria Ballrooms require insurance from outside vendors?
Yes. The venue's details page says all vendors must be licensed and insured, and outside vendors are welcome. Captured Celebrations carries general liability insurance and sends a certificate of insurance to the venue or your planner before the event. Share your coordinator's email when you book.
How late can the photo booth run at The Alexandria Ballrooms?
The venue lists a 1 a.m. curfew on Fridays and Saturdays and midnight on other nights, with 15 hours of venue access. Your booth hours only need to cover your party. Setup happens before the rental starts, so your hours go to guests. Plan the end time with your coordinator.
Can the booth go in the Palm Court cocktail lounge?
The Palm Court has a cocktail lounge with a built-in bar directly outside the ballroom, according to the venue. A booth there keeps the line out of the dance area. Ask your coordinator whether the lounge is part of your rental, and we need about a 10 by 10 foot area and an outlet within 25 feet.
How early does the photo booth team arrive in Downtown LA?
Open Air and Glam booths need the attendant about 1.5 hours early, Oak and Studio Quality 2 hours, and AI and 360 Video 2.5 hours. Ask the coordinator about parking and load-in for the attendant, since the venue does not publish a load-in route. Setup time never counts against your rental hours.
