Picture this: your friends and family gathered under the stars in your Islip Terrace backyard, watching their favorite movie on a towering screen that rivals any theater experience. No cramped seating, no overpriced concessions, no rushing to make showtimes.
Our inflatable movie screen creates something most Long Island families struggle to find—genuine connection time away from phones and distractions. You get to be the host who actually enjoys their own party while we handle every technical detail.
The result? An event that becomes the gold standard for every gathering that follows. Your guests leave talking about the experience, not just the movie.
The Big Bounce Theory has been creating memorable experiences across Long Island since 2007. Based in nearby Bohemia, we’ve built our reputation by understanding what Islip Terrace families actually want—stress-free events that work flawlessly.
Unlike companies that just drop off equipment, we provide full-service packages with on-site technicians who stay throughout your event. Our sealed-air screen technology means no noisy blowers disrupting your movie night—a crucial consideration in Islip Terrace’s close-knit residential community.
You’re dealing with a fully licensed and insured service that’s handled everything from intimate backyard parties to large community festivals across Nassau and Suffolk counties. We understand the local landscape and what works best for Long Island events.
Your outdoor movie night starts with a consultation to understand your space, guest count, and vision. We’ll recommend the right screen size—from intimate 12-foot displays for family gatherings to massive 30-foot screens for community events.
On event day, our technician arrives early to set up the sealed-air screen, HD projector, and professional sound system. The screen inflates in minutes without noisy blowers, so your Islip Terrace neighbors won’t be disturbed during setup or the movie.
During the film, our technician stays on-site to handle any technical issues, letting you focus on hosting and enjoying time with your guests. After the credits roll, we handle complete breakdown and removal. You provide the movie, we handle everything else.

Every inflatable movie screen rental includes professional HD projection equipment, concert-grade sound system, and a deluxe popcorn machine. Our sealed-air screen technology means silent operation—perfect for Islip Terrace’s residential setting where community consideration matters.
Screen sizes accommodate anywhere from 25 to 500 guests, making them suitable for everything from birthday parties in your backyard to larger events at local venues like Beaver Dam Park. Our professional audio system ensures clear sound whether you’re hosting 10 people or 200 at a community fundraiser.
Given Islip Terrace’s strong community spirit and frequent local events, many residents use these movie nights for neighborhood gatherings, school fundraisers, and seasonal celebrations. Our custom branding options work particularly well for corporate events and functions throughout the East Islip school district.
The space requirements depend on your screen size and guest count, but most Islip Terrace backyards can accommodate our smaller setups. For a 16-foot screen, you need about 20 feet of width and 18 feet of depth, plus viewing space for your guests.
Our technicians always do a site assessment before your event to ensure proper setup. We consider factors like overhead obstacles from mature trees, ground conditions, and optimal viewing angles. Since many Islip Terrace properties have established landscaping, we work around these features to find the best placement.
For larger community events at venues like local parks or school grounds, we can accommodate much bigger screens and audiences. The key is having level ground and access to power—we handle the rest of the logistics.
Every package includes the inflatable screen, HD projector, professional sound system, and a deluxe popcorn machine. You also get a trained technician who handles setup, stays during your event, and manages breakdown afterward.
Our sealed-air screen technology means no noisy blowers running during your movie—a big advantage in residential areas like Islip Terrace where you want to maintain good neighbor relationships. Our sound system is calibrated for outdoor use, ensuring everyone hears clearly without disturbing nearby homes.
We provide all cables, extension cords, and technical equipment. You just supply the movie (DVD, Blu-ray, or streaming device) and we handle everything else. Many customers appreciate that they can actually enjoy their own event instead of worrying about technical issues.
For Islip Terrace events, we recommend booking 2-4 weeks in advance, especially during peak season from May through September. Summer weekends fill up quickly since many Long Island families host outdoor gatherings during the warmer months.
School events and community festivals often book even earlier since they require coordination with multiple stakeholders. If you’re planning a fundraiser or large community event, reaching out 6-8 weeks ahead ensures you get your preferred date and optimal equipment selection.
Last-minute bookings are sometimes possible, especially for weekday events or during shoulder seasons. However, advance booking guarantees equipment availability and gives us time for proper planning to ensure the best possible experience for your guests.
Weather is always a concern for outdoor events on Long Island, so we build flexibility into every rental. If rain threatens your event, we can often move the setup indoors to a garage, basement, or covered area like a pavilion or covered patio.
Our screens work just as well indoors, and we adjust projection and sound accordingly. Many Islip Terrace families have successfully moved their movie nights to garages or covered outdoor spaces when weather doesn’t cooperate.
If indoor options aren’t available and postponement is necessary, we work with you to reschedule for another date at no additional charge. We monitor weather forecasts closely and communicate with you well before your event to discuss backup plans and alternatives.
We provide all technical equipment, but movie licensing is something you handle depending on your event type. For private parties with family and friends, you can typically use movies you own or stream from your personal accounts without additional licensing.
For public events, fundraisers, or any gathering where you’re charging admission, you need proper licensing. Organizations like Movie Licensing USA or Swank Motion Pictures handle these rights for community events and schools throughout Long Island.
Many Islip Terrace residents host private gatherings where licensing isn’t required, but we’re happy to provide guidance on when you might need it. Our goal is ensuring your event is both memorable and compliant with all regulations.
Screen size depends on your audience and viewing distance. For intimate Islip Terrace backyard parties with 10-30 people, our 16-foot screen creates a cozy theater experience perfect for family movie nights. Mid-size gatherings of 30-75 guests work well with 20-foot screens.
For larger community events, school functions, or fundraisers with 100+ attendees, we recommend 25-30 foot screens. These larger displays ensure everyone has a clear view, even from the back of the crowd at venues like Beaver Dam Park or school facilities.
Our technicians help you choose the optimal size based on your space, guest count, and budget. With hundreds of events completed across Long Island, we can recommend what works best for your specific situation and venue in the Islip Terrace area.
