Event: Fairmont Century Plaza 60th anniversary party
Where / when: Los Angeles Ballroom, Fairmont Century Plaza, Los Angeles · Thursday, October 1, 2026, evening
Product page: AI Photo Booth
Format: Pick a poster look from a menu, take the photo, get a “Party of the Century” AI poster
Fairmont Century Plaza turned 60 this year, and the hotel marked it with an evening party in its Los Angeles Ballroom. Cohera, the DMC that produced the event, brought us in for the guest photo activation. We built it from our Denver home base, and an attendant ran the station on site.
The theme was Old Hollywood. Every guest became the star of the same movie: “Party of the Century.” The setup was a MiHi AI photo booth in front of a gold sequin backdrop. On the screen, guests saw a sample of each of four poster looks and picked the one they wanted. Then they took the photo, and the AI poster was sent to their phone a couple of minutes later.
Four looks, one movie
Each look put the guests into a different corner of the same Hollywood night:
- Art Deco. A sunset over the Los Angeles skyline, palm trees, and a vintage car.
- Film noir. Black and white, with trench coats, a photographer’s flash, a velvet rope, and a theater marquee.
- Mid-century graphic. Bold color blocks, a martini, a key, and a sealed letter in side panels.
- Opening night. Spotlights, a stage curtain, and a film reel.
Groups of up to five could share one poster, and groups could also take a regular photo as a second option.
How the station ran
The booth was set up indoors in the ballroom with a gold sequin backdrop and no props. Every poster carried the same title, so each one matched the night. The package included on-site 6×8 printing, sharing to phones, a hotspot, and an online gallery with every photo and poster after the event.
Before the event, the client reviewed sample posters for each look, and we tuned the looks until they were happy with every one.
Why it fits an anniversary party
A milestone anniversary is about history. Putting guests into a classic movie poster ties them to that history, and they leave with something that says what night it was. The same setup works for a company anniversary, a hotel or venue milestone, or any event with a “decades” theme. Change the looks and the title, and keep the menu.
