📸 Photo Booth = Instant Party Energy
A Photo Booth rental for Cinco de Mayo adds instant fun with themed props like sombreros, maracas, oversized sunglasses, and funny signs. Whether you're in San Francisco, Oakland, or San Jose, it’s a guaranteed way to get guests laughing, posting, and remembering your event.
🌮 Taco Bar + Tequila Station = Must
No Cinco de Mayo party is complete without tacos. Go with a taco truck, catering, or DIY taco bar—and don’t forget margaritas, micheladas, and aguas frescas. Add some churros, paletas, or a dessert table to wrap it up right.
💡 Set the Vibe With Decor & Lights
Transform your venue with vibrant papel picado banners, string lights, festive centerpieces, and uplighting in red, green, and white. A DJ with party lighting can add dance floor towers or uplighting to create a full-on fiesta vibe.
🎤 Games, Contests & Emcee Energy
Level up your party with games like limbo, piñata breaks, dance-offs, or best-dressed contests. A professional DJ/MC can host the action, keep the flow going, and make your life easier while you enjoy the fun.
