The Big Bounce Theory has been creating memorable events across Nassau and Suffolk counties for over 18 years. What started as a family business in Bohemia has grown into Long Island’s trusted name for premium party rentals, serving everyone from Locust Valley’s exclusive estates to the Hamptons’ summer gatherings.
In a community like Locust Valley, where quality and attention to detail matter, you need a rental company that understands your expectations. We’re fully licensed and insured, use only commercial-grade equipment, and treat every event like it’s our own family celebration.
Our sealed-air inflatable movie screens represent the latest in outdoor cinema technology. Unlike traditional screens that need constant air blowers, these inflate once and stay quiet throughout your entire event, so conversations and movie dialogue are never interrupted by equipment noise.
First, you choose your screen size based on your space and guest count. We offer multiple sizes to fit everything from intimate backyard gatherings to large community events. Each package includes the inflatable screen, high-definition projector, professional sound system, and all necessary cables and connections.
Next, our crew arrives at your location and handles the complete setup. The sealed-air screen inflates in minutes without ongoing noise, the projector is positioned for optimal viewing, and the sound system is calibrated for your space. We test everything before your event starts to ensure perfect picture and audio quality.
During your event, a technician stays on-site to manage the equipment and handle any adjustments needed. We operate the projector, manage volume levels, and ensure everything runs smoothly from start to finish. When your movie ends, we handle the complete teardown and equipment removal, leaving your space exactly as we found it.

In Locust Valley, where outdoor entertaining is a way of life, these movie screens complement the area’s preference for sophisticated yet relaxed gatherings. The screens work perfectly for estate parties, poolside events, or community gatherings in places like Thomas Park during the village’s seasonal celebrations.
The sealed-air technology means your movie night won’t be disrupted by the constant hum of air blowers that plague traditional inflatable screens. This attention to detail matters when you’re hosting guests who appreciate quality experiences, whether it’s a children’s birthday party or an adult gathering under the stars.
Screen size depends on your viewing distance and guest count. For backyard parties with 20-50 guests, a 12-16 foot screen works perfectly when viewers are 20-40 feet away. Larger community events or spaces with viewers up to 100 feet away benefit from 20+ foot screens.
The key is maintaining the right ratio between screen size and viewing distance for comfortable watching. Our team evaluates your specific space during the booking process and recommends the optimal screen size based on your layout, guest count, and viewing angles. We’d rather suggest a slightly smaller screen that provides excellent picture quality than oversell you on something that won’t look as sharp.
Yes, our inflatable movie screens can be set up on grass, concrete, asphalt, sand, or indoor surfaces. The screens use weighted bases and guy lines for stability, so we don’t require stakes that could damage surfaces like pool decks or tennis courts.
For Locust Valley’s varied terrain, from manicured lawns to poolside patios, this flexibility is crucial. We bring appropriate anchoring systems for each surface type and can adapt to uneven ground or landscaped areas. Our setup crew assesses your specific location and uses the right anchoring method to ensure the screen stays stable throughout your event, regardless of weather conditions.
Light rain won’t damage the equipment, but for guest comfort and optimal viewing, we recommend postponing during moderate to heavy rain. All rental packages include flexible rescheduling options, and we monitor weather forecasts leading up to your event to help you make the best decision.
Our sealed-air screens are more weather-resistant than traditional inflatable screens since they don’t have constant air flow that can be affected by moisture. The projectors and sound equipment are weather-resistant but perform best in dry conditions. We work with you to find alternative dates that work for your schedule, and there are no penalties for weather-related postponements when decided at least 4 hours before your event start time.
You provide the movies for private backyard parties and family gatherings. We supply DVD/Blu-ray players and can connect to laptops, streaming devices, or gaming consoles. For public events or large community screenings, movie licensing may be required, and we can guide you through that process.
Most families in Locust Valley already have extensive movie collections or streaming service access, making it easy to choose exactly what fits your event. Our equipment connects to virtually any video source, so whether you want to show a classic family film, the latest blockbuster, or even a slideshow of family photos, the technical setup is seamless. We test all connections before your guests arrive to ensure everything works perfectly.
For optimal selection and scheduling, book 2-4 weeks in advance, especially for weekend events during peak season (May through September). Popular dates like summer weekends and holiday periods fill up quickly in the Locust Valley area.
However, we often accommodate last-minute requests when equipment is available. Peak demand occurs during Locust Valley’s busy social season when the community hosts numerous outdoor events and the surrounding villages are most active. Early booking ensures you get your preferred date and screen size, plus allows time for any special setup requirements your venue might need.
A trained technician stays on-site throughout your entire event to manage all technical aspects. We handle projector operation, audio adjustments, media playback, and troubleshoot any issues that arise. You focus on hosting while we ensure the technical side runs flawlessly.
This on-site support is especially valuable for multi-hour events or when you’re managing other party elements. Our technician arrives early to complete setup and testing, stays during the movie to monitor equipment and make adjustments, and handles the complete teardown afterward. We’re experienced with outdoor conditions and know how to optimize picture and sound quality as lighting conditions change from dusk to full darkness.
