No travel fee within 25 miles of Westchase — which covers all of Tampa, Odessa, Oldsmar, South Tampa, Carrollwood, and surrounding communities. For events further out (Brandon, Wesley Chapel, Riverview, Clearwater, St. Pete), we charge a small mileage fee based on actual distance. Just give us your address and we'll confirm the exact cost upfront — no surprises.

Yes — we collect a 25% deposit to hold your date. The balance is due on the day of your event. We accept cash, Venmo, Zelle, and all major credit cards. The deposit is fully refundable if you need to cancel more than 7 days before your event, and it rolls forward at no penalty for weather-related reschedules.

Absolutely — every package is customizable. Popular combos include Blockbuster + Gaming Setup, Premiere + Photo Booth, or Starter + Popcorn Machine for a cozy date night. There's no extra charge to mix and match add-ons. Just tell us what you're envisioning and we'll build the right setup.

Setup typically takes 45 to 90 minutes depending on the package complexity. We arrive 60 to 90 minutes before your event start time. After setup, we walk you through every piece of equipment so you're comfortable operating it, then step away so your event can begin. Teardown runs about 30 to 45 minutes after your event ends — completely hands-off for you.

For our full Blockbuster setup with 200-inch screen, we need roughly 12 × 12 feet of open space. For the Starter with 120-inch screen, 10 × 10 feet works. South Tampa yards with pools can often accommodate our rigid-frame screen option, which has a smaller footprint than the inflatable. If you're unsure, describe your yard and we'll confirm before booking — we've made tight spaces work many times.

We run off a standard 15A or 20A exterior outlet. For setups further than about 100 feet from your nearest outlet, we carry a whisper-quiet Honda EU2200i generator at no extra charge. It operates well below conversation volume and won't compete with the movie audio. Just let us know the approximate distance from your outlet when booking.

Yes — concrete, pavers, decks, grass, and pool patios all work fine. For inflatable screens on hard surfaces, we use sandbag weights instead of stakes. On pool patios we position all electrical equipment at least 6 feet from the water edge per safety standards. The one surface that's challenging is very steep slopes over about 15 degrees — contact us if that's your situation.

Someone should be home during initial setup to confirm screen placement and audio positioning, but you don't need to supervise — we handle everything. For teardown, many clients simply leave us to pack up after their guests have gone. We'll send you a text when we're done and on our way out.

If rain is forecast at event time, we'll reach out the morning of your event to discuss options. Light drizzle typically doesn't stop us — the equipment is weatherized and most guests don't mind if it's just sprinkling. For heavier rain or storms, we'll reschedule at no charge. Your deposit rolls to the new date. We never charge a cancellation fee for weather. Florida weather can change fast, so we make the call together as close to event time as possible.

We're on-call throughout your entire event. Text or call (813) 606-6797 and one of us will respond immediately — usually within minutes. For most events, we have a crew member nearby anyway. In seven-plus years of running events across Tampa Bay, we've never had an event fail to complete due to equipment failure.

You choose and provide the movie — stream it from your device (Netflix, Disney+, Amazon, etc.) or play from a USB drive. We handle HDMI connection and audio. The only content restriction is public performance rights for commercial screenings — for private backyard events with invited guests, personal streaming accounts and personal media are legally fine under private performance exemptions. We don't provide content directly.

We're based in Westchase and serve a 25-mile radius with no travel fee. This covers all of Tampa, Westchase, Odessa, Oldsmar, South Tampa, Carrollwood, Town 'n Country, Seminole Heights, New Tampa, Davis Islands, Lutz, Land O' Lakes, and more. For events in Brandon, Riverview, Clearwater, St. Petersburg, or Sarasota, contact us — we may be able to accommodate with a small travel fee.

Yes — we regularly do events at private venues, HOA community pools, neighborhood parks, and business outdoor spaces. Public park events may require a City permit for amplified sound, which is the organizer's responsibility. We can advise on what's typically needed for your municipality. We don't do events on public streets or in truly public spaces without proper permits in place.
