Your celebration at Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City

The Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City is a large hotel adjacent to Universal Studios Hollywood, with multiple ballrooms and meeting rooms. It hosts weddings, bar and bat mitzvahs, corporate conferences and holiday parties, often more than one at a time.

For a reception, the Beverly Booth brings studio lighting and unlimited prints on a strip designed around your names and palette. For a conference or launch, the Selfie Booth sends branded photos to attendees' phones on the spot, and we can add prints on the four-hour tier.

The hotel is a few minutes from Burbank, so travel is free. We follow the banquet team's vendor instructions, set up ahead of doors and keep an attendant with the booth for the whole booking.

Selfie Booth packages from $290 and Beverly Booth packages from $550, with free travel within 30 miles of Burbank. See every package and add-on.

How we set up at a hotel ballroom

  1. Convention hotels run tight ballroom turnovers; tell us your room's access time and we will be ready to set up the moment it opens.
  2. Pre-function foyers are shared between events; placing the booth inside your ballroom keeps your guests' prints in your party.
  3. Ask for an outlet that is not on the same circuit as the room's AV cart.
  4. Mitzvah guests skew young and enthusiastic; the Selfie Booth's GIFs keep a line of teenagers happy, and a prop table keeps it fun.
  5. If the hotel is hosting park visitors, a small sign with your event name on the booth prevents walk-ins.

We confirm the exact spot, power and load-in with your venue coordinator before the date. More about photo booths in Studio City.

Questions, answered

Hilton Los Angeles/Universal City

Can La Vida handle a mitzvah at the Hilton Universal City?

Yes. We design the strip around the celebrant's name and theme, and the Selfie Booth's GIFs and boomerangs suit a young crowd.

Do you need the hotel to supply power?

Only a standard outlet near the booth. We bring everything else, including lights and the printer.

Is the Hilton inside your free travel radius?

Yes. Universal City is within a few miles of Burbank, so there is no travel charge.

How much space does the photo booth need?

The Beverly Booth needs at least 8 x 8 feet and the Selfie Booth about 6 x 6 feet, plus room for guests to line up and look at their photos.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend at least four to six weeks ahead, and earlier for weekends, holidays and wedding and quinceañera season.

Can I customize the photo strip?

Yes. Every booking includes a custom template with your names, date and colours, and we can add logos and themed designs.
