Every rental includes three screen sizes to fit your guest count and space, accommodating up to 500 people. Our sealed-air technology means quick inflation without the constant noise of traditional blowers.
Your package comes with professional-grade HD projection and sound equipment that delivers theater-quality audio and crystal-clear visuals. The deluxe popcorn machine adds that authentic movie experience your guests expect.
Patchogue’s outdoor entertainment scene has grown significantly, with families seeking unique alternatives to traditional party venues. Local events often feature outdoor movie nights at community centers and parks, showing how popular this entertainment option has become across Suffolk County.
The right screen size depends on your space and guest count. For typical Patchogue backyards with 20-50 guests, our medium screen provides excellent viewing without overwhelming your space.
Our large screen works well for bigger gatherings or events in parks and open areas. We measure your available space during consultation to recommend the perfect fit. Remember, you need clear sightlines and enough distance between the screen and your first row of viewers.
All three sizes deliver the same crystal-clear HD quality and theater-level sound. The key is matching the screen to your space so everyone gets a great view without the screen dominating your entire yard.
You provide the movie, and we handle all the technical equipment and setup. This gives you complete control over what you watch while ensuring all licensing requirements are properly handled by you as the host.
You can bring DVDs, Blu-rays, or stream from your own accounts through our HD system. Many Patchogue families choose a mix of classic movies for adults and kid-friendly options for mixed-age gatherings.
Our technician tests your movie selection during setup to ensure everything plays perfectly. If you’re streaming, we help optimize your internet connection for smooth playback throughout the entire event.
Most Patchogue backyards have plenty of room for our movie screen setup. You need a flat area for the screen itself, plus viewing space that’s roughly twice the screen width for optimal viewing angles.
The screen requires about 15 feet of clear space behind it for proper setup and stability. In front, you want at least 20-30 feet between the screen and your first row of seating, depending on screen size.
We’ve successfully set up movie nights in surprisingly compact spaces by getting creative with screen placement and seating arrangements. During your consultation, we assess your specific yard layout and recommend the best configuration for maximum enjoyment.
Long Island weather can be unpredictable, so we work with you to monitor conditions leading up to your event. Light rain isn’t necessarily a problem if you have covered viewing areas, but safety always comes first.
We typically recommend having a backup indoor location ready for severe weather situations. Our equipment can be moved inside if needed, though you’ll want to confirm ceiling height and room dimensions beforehand.
Our policy allows reasonable rescheduling for dangerous weather conditions. We understand that Patchogue families invest time and money in these events, so we work hard to find alternative dates that work for everyone involved.
The deluxe popcorn machine comes included with every inflatable movie screen rental. It’s not an add-on or extra charge – it’s part of creating that authentic movie theater experience in your backyard.
We provide the machine, supplies for popping, and basic seasoning. You get that fresh, buttery popcorn smell that makes outdoor movies feel special. The machine produces enough for typical gathering sizes without running out mid-movie.
Our attendant handles operating the popcorn machine so you can focus on hosting your guests. We start it early so the aroma builds anticipation, then keep it running throughout the event for anyone wanting seconds.
Patchogue’s outdoor event season runs from late spring through early fall, with summer weekends booking fastest. For popular dates like summer Saturdays or holiday weekends, booking 4-6 weeks ahead ensures availability.
Weekday events and off-peak times often have more flexibility, sometimes available with just a week’s notice. School events and corporate gatherings typically plan further ahead, so spring bookings for summer events are common.
We maintain a calendar that shows real-time availability for Patchogue and surrounding areas. Once you have a date in mind, a quick call confirms availability and locks in your preferred time slot with a simple deposit.
