Brookside Golf Club

The Brookside Golf Club Experience

Brookside Golf Club offers a refined yet relaxed atmosphere that perfectly captures Pasadena's blend of old-money elegance and California ease. The ballroom features floor-to-ceiling windows that frame sweeping views of the golf course, the Arroyo Seco, and the San Gabriel Mountains beyond. During golden hour, the natural light flooding through those windows creates a warm, photogenic glow that makes every photo look effortless. The outdoor deck extends the event space with a terrace overlooking manicured greens, and on clear evenings, the sunset behind the Rose Bowl creates a backdrop that no decorator could replicate. The overall feel is country-club polished without being stuffy — guests dress up but still feel comfortable.

Events at Brookside Golf Club

Brookside Golf Club is a wedding powerhouse — its combination of ceremony-ready outdoor spaces and a reception-ready ballroom means couples can host their entire celebration in one location. The venue also sees a steady flow of corporate events, particularly from Pasadena's tech and aerospace corridor (JPL, Parsons, Tetra Tech) who host annual galas, team celebrations, and client appreciation dinners here. Charity galas and fundraising events are another staple, often tied to Pasadena's robust nonprofit community. Holiday parties pick up from October through December, and graduation celebrations cluster around May and June. Each event type benefits differently from a photo booth — corporate events love branded templates, weddings adore the Glam Booth's timeless portraits, and galas embrace the 360 Video Booth's wow factor.

Why a Photo Booth Works at Brookside Golf Club

The combination of natural beauty and refined interiors at Brookside Golf Club makes it ideal for photo booth placement. The ballroom's large windows provide gorgeous ambient light during daytime and early evening events, while our professional lighting ensures consistent results after dark. The terrace is perfect for a 360 Video Booth during cocktail hour — guests love spinning with the golf course and mountains in the background. For seated receptions inside, we position the Open Air or Glam Booth near the entrance or bar area where foot traffic is highest. The venue's elegant but uncluttered aesthetic means our custom backdrops blend seamlessly into the décor.

About Brookside Golf Club

Brookside Golf Club sits on land adjacent to the Rose Bowl, one of Pasadena's most iconic landmarks. The club has been a cornerstone of the Pasadena community for decades, hosting everything from casual member events to elaborate weddings and high-profile corporate functions. Its location at the edge of the Arroyo Seco — Pasadena's natural canyon — gives it a setting that feels removed from the city while being minutes from Old Town Pasadena's restaurants and hotels. The venue is managed with attention to detail, and the events team is experienced in coordinating with outside vendors like photo booth operators, making setup and logistics reliably smooth.

Setup & Logistics

For indoor events, we typically set up in the foyer area or along the ballroom's window wall, where guests naturally gather between courses and during dancing. For terrace events, we position the booth under the covered section to protect equipment while still capturing the mountain views. Power access is readily available in both locations. We coordinate with Brookside's events team on load-in timing — usually 90 minutes before guest arrival. The venue's large parking lot makes load-in easy with no long carries from the vehicle.
