It goes without saying that you’ll want any number of photographs for your wedding. These will be memories to be preserved forever, after all. The ceremony, the bridesmaids, the cake, the dress… Standard practice is to hire a photographer. That will probably be fine for the nice, scripted ceremony but what about during the reception? A photographer is bound to miss out on capturing some of your guests; he can only be in one place at a time and receptions can get pretty crazy. You’ll want to be sure and get pictures of everyone and chasing them all down really isn’t an option.

Photo Booth

Placing a photo booth at the reception will ensure every guest can show their support for the happy couple. There is a photo strip for them to take home and a copy that will go into a digital album for you.

In fact, your guests may be having such a blast with your photo booth you won’t need to ask them to get their pictures taken!

A photo booth is more than just another way to be sure you get all the pictures you want. It’s also a lot of fun! You can get all kinds of photo booth add-ons for your event. Personalized props like mustaches or pirate hats to fit your theme, hashtag printing, and social media sharing. There is also themed backdrops, personalized photo strips for each guest to take home, and even a digital Photo Booth scrapbook for them all to sign! If you contact Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment for one of their Flixxr and get one of their Signature Packages, they’ll turn it into an actual scrapbook to hold onto!  Best of all, by hiring a professional provider you’ll be able to relax and enjoy the reception, knowing that this potential headache, at least, has been taken care of.

A photo booth is a simple way to get your pictures taken, share fun photo strips and stored online for easy retrieval after the big event. They can even be shared on social media without any hassle for the bride and groom. It also doubles as a really fun attraction for your guests. This is a win-win addition for any wedding reception.

Check out this link for more detailed information about photo booth packages and how they can ramp up your wedding reception.

Summertime is the perfect time for family reunions and other types of family gatherings. Is it your turn to organize the special unforgettable event this year? When you have a cooperative family, planning an event as a potluck makes the planning process easy and fun. Someone volunteers to grill a barbecue feast, someone brings the corn on the cob, someone offers refreshing slices of watermelon, someone makes the kids ice cream root beer floats, someone hands out pieces of chocolate cake with sweet and appropriate event icing, a game of horseshoes plays out here, and a game of volleyball plays out there, and all this eating and playing easily fills the day with family fun, but what about when the sun sets on your event and the moon is shining on your organizational duties to your family?

Rent a giant outdoor movie screen for your family reunion or your family gathering from Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment Outdoor Movies, and impress your family with your organizational skills and thoughtfulness.

Surprise your family with a showing of some favorite home movies and family blooper reels before the night’s feature family friendly film. Make some popcorn and s’mores, and just sit back on lawn chairs or on picnic blankets. Or park cars as if your family has taken over the local drive-in theater and tailgate with your party. Relax and enjoy the movies under the stars and breathe in the crisp night air.

“Commercial advertisements” shown on the screen between home movies announce weddings, birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations, and even family owned businesses, also show your creativity and pride in your family. Conclude the night’s entertainment with a few more home movies and bloopers that your family will discuss and laugh about for years to come.

Let the moonlight set the mood for your featured movie choices, and just plan to have a fun night with your family. Movies rated G or PG are perfect for pleasing and calming everyone in your special audience, especially after a surprise showing of home movies or family bloopers that might contain nudity, violence, and highly inappropriate and embarrassing moments from childhood or other awkward phases of life. Perhaps, your family would not enjoy these types of movies but prefers to watch a specific live sporting event every year together. Don’t worry, Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment does that, too. Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment does all the work for your outdoor movie event, so your family can cherish the evening together.

Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment rents inflatable outdoor movie screens in various sizes to please your entire family, whether your family is small or large. Screens come in 10′ to 75′ sizes to suit any party space, and our friendly and professional event staff sets up and tests the screen for safety before your event. Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment provides advanced projection and sound equipment for a professional theater-like showing, and our staff sets up the equipment and tests it for the proper speed and volume, and then runs your selected movies for you so you don’t have to worry about anything except enjoying the event. When your outdoor movie event has concluded, our staff takes down the screen and the electrical equipment leaving your space quietly and professionally. Memories of the giant screen and the films shown will last long into the future and serve as competition to top for next year’s poor summer family event organizer.

Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment rents inflatable movie screens for a variety of events for families, city parks, schools, churches, camps, corporations, non-profit organizations, and governments, so feel free to ask our event planning staff for some ideas when you contact us to book your family reunion or family gathering event.

There’s a certain electricity that comes with a live performance, whether it’s a sports game, a concert, or an award show. It’s one of the reasons people come together to watch it because it’s not just a viewing, it’s an experience, one you should share. We make an effort to create a night that’s fitting for such a big event. After all, when it comes to big performances, why not have a big party?

Enhance Game Night Viewings

People get very attached to their favorite sports teams. They watch the games every week, cheer loudly, wear apparel that shows their support, and sometimes even paint their bodies. Seeing how deeply team loyalty truly goes, it’s no surprise that watching sports is one of the most popular and beloved past times. Whether you love baseball, football, racing, or hockey you probably understand that desire to make certain Game Night viewings extra special. If you’re really excited about a specific game, whether it’s the first or last of the season or two rivals are facing off, you should make the viewing one you’ll never forget. Don’t settle for the usual; sitting on the couch eating pizza and drinking while you yell at a TV that doesn’t even take up half the wall. No. Certain games deserve more than that. The next time one of these games is on why not invite your friends and family over for a true viewing experience, complete with a massive TV screen? Take the party outside and fire up the grill. Make specialty drinks, roast hot dogs, cook burgers, and view the game in style. Honor your sports team with a viewing extravaganza that your friends won’t soon forget. You can even pass out apparel to your guests upon arrival, or give gift bags with team merchandise at the end, to make the night even more special.

Experience a Musical Performance as if You Were There

Watching your favorite singer/band perform live in concert while you’re surrounded by people who love their music as much as you do is something everyone should experience at least once in their lives, but it’s not always easy to get tickets to a concert. So, the next time your favorite artist is doing a live performance that will be available to watch on TV, make the most of the viewing by creating an experience that’s second only to attending the actual concert. Don’t settle for less. Don’t watch the show on a small screen, alone, while you eat dinner. That’s not memorable. Instead, turn your backyard into a mini concert for you and your friends. Get dressed up, wear your favorite concert apparel, and get ready to have the night of your life. Add some twinkle lights to the trees or the fence, designate a place to dance and let loose, and mix up some specialty drinks for everyone. Then, gather with your friends and fellow music lovers as you watch the performance unfold on a gigantic screen right in your own backyard.

Award Show Party

Award show parties have become increasingly popular over the years. People place bets on who will win in the variety of categories, decorate their house with movie themed props, and get dressed up as if they were attending the Hollywood party themselves. The next time you host one of these themed parties, make it truly unforgettable by going bigger than ever. Instead of gathering around the living room, all trying to watch a normal sized screen, why not gather outside and party in style? Create a stunning entry by placing red carpet through the house that leads to the backyard. Pay a friend/family member to play bartender for the evening, mixing cocktails for you and your guests. Make sure to hand out goody bags and have a few trophies to give out as prizes for best dressed, most correct award predictions, and entertainer of the evening. You can encourage them to make acceptance speeches during commercials to add to the fun. Set up a photo booth so everyone can take pictures in their stylish Hollywood apparel, and take some candids during the evening to really capture the feel of the evening. Get ready to host again next year because people won’t want to miss out on this much fun.

The next time you and your friends gather together to experience a live performance, regardless of its nature, and you want to make it an evening to remember, think of us at Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment outdoor movies. We would love to help you create the ultimate viewing party.

To advertise outside a venue, and to compete with the advertisers that dominate the market inside a venue, a company must find innovative and eye-catching solutions to reach consumers driven to look at screens, and the larger the screen the better for the potential to reach more consumers.

In the past, advertisers set up tables with large banners to promote and sell products relevant to the event’s audience at a venue. People walking by the table see the sign, and with the advertising staff’s help, perhaps sign up for a raffle contest or another promotion, while sampling, and hopefully purchasing the product. However, there is no entertainment value of this common marketing tactic–only information and persuasion. Most people walk away after politely rejecting personal and confrontational sales techniques. People attending sports and music events have actually learned to avoid the marketing tables at the venues and now seek entertainment on the way to see the entertainment they have a ticket to see.

If planning to advertise outside a venue with a ticketed event, your audience are the groups of people walking from the parking lots to the venue’s entrance gates. They want to see the show. Strategically placing advertising like signs and sales tables along this path is a great idea. But a better idea is to put on a show before the show. An inflatable movie screen attracts more people than a banner and a table, and a screen entertains an audience, while informing them about the product and persuading them to buy it.

Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment has many large sizes of inflatable weather-proof screen available to rent for any size event. Six sizes from 10 feet to 75 feet allows your company to adjust the size of the advertising messaging appropriately to the size of the crowd or to a venue’s rules and regulations. A crowd will gather around the large screen to see your company’s show. Even people who do not wish to stop and gather cannot avoid seeing such a large screen and the messages that appear upon it as they walk by.

People waiting in long security lines to get into events appreciate entertainment as they wait. Some will stop and gather around the screen to wait for long lines to shorten. So either way, your inflatable screen gets attention from those holding tickets to the main event.

Sometimes sports events or music concerts face delay due to passing inclement weather and the audience are kept out of the stadium or amphitheater for safety reasons. People walking back to their vehicles appreciate weather-proof entertainment that keeps playing. When ticketed events face cancellation, the audience who came still sees your advertising.

Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment provides all the advanced technology to run your advertising films. Top-of-the-line projectors and speakers communicate your messages at the right speed and volume to directly target large audiences walking around a sports or music venue.

Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment expert event staff professionally sets up the inflatable screen and equipment for the best possible image for your company. Our projection crew repeatedly runs your advertising films through the event consistently checking for technical issues and scanning for audience satisfaction. Our professional staff then stays to take down the equipment after the event concludes. Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment makes advertising at large venues convenient and fun.

When I was growing up, we regularly went to the Drive-in to see a movie.  Unfortunately, now-a-days, when you mention a drive-in to most kids, they look at you a little crazy.  The popularity of drive-in movies is long gone but the ability to watch a movie outdoors is not. It’s actually quite easy to host an outdoor movie with Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment.

What is Ultimate Outdoor Movies?

Ultimate Outdoor Movies is a company based in Round Rock that specializes in helping you host an Outdoor Movie event. From backyard movie parties to neighborhood events, Ultimate Outdoor Movies has a variety of inflatable screens, projectors and sound systems for all sizes of crowds. Rather than mess with setting up the equipment yourself (and crossing your fingers that it all works correctly), Ultimate Outdoor Movies will set it up AND stay there for the whole event to make sure everything runs smoothly.

I love that Ultimate Outdoor Movies is a business that was started right here in Round Rock and have grown to be a nationwide company.  But they still offer that hometown customer service that we come to expect with a local business.

I recently worked with Ultimate Outdoor Movies to host a movie night in my backyard for teenagers. They brought a  12′ X 9′ screen, and all the equipment to run the movie.  All we had to do was provide the DVD.  As the host of the party, it was a great relief to not have to mess with any of the equipment to run the movie.  They also brought a popcorn machine and kept the popcorn going though out the evening (additional cost).

Outdoor Movie Ideas with Ultimate Outdoor Movies

Backyard Movie Night
Host a party with up to 75 of your friends in your backyard or driveway and show a fun movie or live TV event.  We hosted a Sweet 16 Birthday in our backyard with popcorn and movie candy snacks.  We spread out lots of blankets on our lawn and started the movie just after dusk.  Everyone loved it!

Neighborhood or School Movie Night
Movie Night is always a fun event to throw for a large neighborhood association or school event.  You can have a fun contest to select the movie  and Ultimate Outdoor Movies can help you easily obtain the correct movie licensing), have a BBQ or Ice Cream Bar to go along with it, and invite guests to bring chairs to set up.  Ultimate Outdoor Movies has larger screens to accommodate your crowd.

Company/Church Event
Much like the 2 above ideas, a movie night is really a fun event for your co-workers to enjoy together and with families. Bring together your employees for a fun appreciation event.  Again, Ultimate Outdoor Movies has various sizes of screens to accommodate up to 5000+ people.

Superb Customer Service with Ultimate Outdoor Movies

As I mentioned, I have experience working with Ultimate Outdoor Movies and can say that they made it a very easy process.  You can book your event (and even just get a quote) on their website or call them direct. I simply expand what I wanted to do, and they walked me through all the steps to be ready for the party. To be honest, it was very few – they do all the work – from set-up to clean-up

With summer approaching, a movie night with Ultimate Outdoor Movies is a really fun idea.  And as we always recommend here with Round the Rock, look to support our local businesses here first.  Have a fun summer Round Rock!

Homeowners’ associations or HOA’s love the fun and convenience that inflatable movie screen rentals provide for their community events. HOA’s generally schedule at least two or three events to engage their communities during the spring, summer, and fall months. Neighborhood Movie Nights are popular for entertainment and advertising value, and HOA’s like how easy and budget-friendly they are to present. HOA’s find that community programming helps residents maintain and improve their properties, helps to reduce crime, and helps to create a neighborly environment where people talk to each other and where the children play.

Playing a family friendly movie in the neighborhood park brings the children out to swing and slide while parents set up their picnic fareand talk with the adult neighbors. Future babysitters and lawnmowers are found on neighborhood movie nights. Neighbor boys meet and talk with the girls that live next door on neighborhood movie nights. Business transactions between neighbors happen on neighborhood movie nights. Great forever friends meet on neighborhood movie nights. Families enjoy seasonal entertainment in the park and will pay higher homeowners’ association dues for these types of events that bring the community together in a safe environment. Your event requires no extra parking, as neighbors meet, talk, and walk to the park with wagons, coolers, and strollers in tow.

Residents keep lawns and landscapes greener and better looking due to HOA engagement with the community. Residents maintain their houses properly and in a timely manner when issues arise. Neighbors talk and judge each other on property aesthetics reducing the need for HOA involvement. The HOA can communicate the community’s rules, regulations, and potential violations in a friendly and personable manner and thank the neighborhood for collective compliance with rewards like neighborhood movie nights and unite the people and property management in a common goal of beautifying and bringing together the community.

HOA’s love the six sizes of large inflatable movie screens available through Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment Outdoor Movies, and the wonderful service that this community friendly company provides. An inflatable movie screen from 10 feet wide to 75 feet wide will show a movie on a weather-proof reflective surface large enough to accommodate any size neighborhood or park size. Friendly staff will assist your event coordinator in planning your HOA events and discuss your equipment rental needs.

Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment‘s advanced technology will impress any audience. From projectors to speakers, Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment has sight and sound covered. The professionally trained Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment event staff will inflate the screen and set up projection equipment and speakers before an event begins. Then projection crew will run your chosen family friendly film carefully considering volume for maximum audience enjoyment. When the movie ends, your HOA advertising film on the value of a beautiful and engaged community shows while neighbors mingle and leave the park. While residents discuss their wonderful HOA, the Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment staff quietly disassemble the movie screen and equipment and leave your park looking the same way as when they arrived.

Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment is not just for neighborhood movie night though. HOA’s find many applications for our movie screens. HOA’s often partner with police departments, fire departments, and hospitals for events like summer safety fairs or National Night Out to reduce crime, to keep properties safe, and to prevent accidents around the home. HOA’s also partner with local businesses to advertise nearby restaurants and retail stores during community-wide garage sales on our large-sized movie screens that serve as giant billboards to project the advertising of multiple businesses all day long. HOA’s fighting for new traffic lights or other necessary infrastructure, play documentary films during outdoor public board meetings and invite public officials and voters to come together on safety issues facing their communities. HOA’s for communities under construction with housing for sale benefit from holding large sales events to attract new homebuyers in a competitive market, and showing a film on a large inflatable screen educating consumers about the community’s history, schools, and parks impresses potential buyers. Films showing the local amenities that exist exclusively for residents and local businesses and major employers stands out from typical home sale marketing campaigns giving your community the opportunity to attract buyers appreciative of the homeowners’ association and what it does for the community.

People love these events. They look forward to the screenings with delight, and people young and old come together to view these movies whenever and wherever they can find them.

What makes outdoor movie screenings so popular? We believe there are a variety of reasons people love to watch their favorite movies in the great outdoors. Here are a few of the most common reasons for enjoying these events.

#1: Fresh Air

What could be better than getting some fresh air while viewing a classic movie on a beautiful backdrop provided by Mother Natureherself? Outdoor movies allow viewers to get in some much-needed outside time, even when the sun has gone down and visibility is low.

#2: Novelty

Let’s face it, watching a movie outside is pretty novel. After all, it isn’t like people are dragging their televisions outside to watch movies on a regular basis. This makes outdoor movie viewings an unusual and special event, and quite possibly the only time a person can dig their toes into the warm, soft grass while humming along to their favorite movie musical.

#3: Community

Movies bring people together. They tug at our emotions and inspire us. A movie watched with a group of people is an amazing conversation starter, and since movies are loved by so many, they are also an excellent way to bring people together into the same space.

This means outdoor movies—especially those shown for free to the public by the community itself—have the potential to bring the people of a community together and create a stronger bond between neighbors.

#4: Freedom

Movie theaters are nice, but sometimes a person just wants to sprawl out while enjoying a good flick. Because outdoor movies are rarely viewed from traditional chairs, people have the freedom to sprawl out in the grass, stand to the side while bouncing a baby, or even head to the back of the viewing area and do cartwheels while watching, should they choose to do so.

#5: Nostalgia

A great many people remember heading to the drive-in movie theater when they were younger. Many of the sights and sounds found at one of these nearly extinct movie-viewing locations can also be found at a local outdoor movie screening.

For this reason, many people find that outdoor movie screenings are quite nostalgic, taking them back to some of the most exciting and memorable days of years past.

#6: Romance

There is nothing quite so romantic as watching the sun go down on a gorgeous summer evening with your loved one close at hand. Nothing, that is, except continuing to sit after the sun goes down and snuggling up with that same loved one to watch a favorite movie. Outdoor movies are one of the most romantic date destinations out there, making them the perfect spot for those looking to show someone they love a good time.

Clearly, people have a good many reasons for heading to the many outdoor movie events across the country. Therefore, if you are looking to host a successful event of your own, we couldn’t recommend showing an outdoor movie highly enough.

If this is the route you decide to take, please feel free to contact us at Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment Outdoor Movies. We would be thrilled to help you prepare with the ideal outdoor movie-viewing setup.

To throw a party that lives up to your kid’s expectations you really only need two things; something everyone loves and will have fun doing and something memorable. If you do it right, an outdoor movie or game night can possess both of those qualities.

Movie Night

An indoor movie night can get really boring really fast. There’s no room for the kid’s to run around during slow scenes and nothing else to hold their attention when their mind starts to wander. Staring at a TV while wearing party hats doesn’t seem much different than sitting in their own home watching a movie with their family. That’s not really much of a party. You want your movie night party to be a complete experience, and the best way to do that is to go big. Really big. To host an outdoor movie night that will be talked about for weeks and months to come start with a screen that can entertain up to 75 guests, has high definition projection, and concert-grade speakers. This turns an ordinary outdoor movie night into something that rivals a movie theater, only your party will be superior because it’s outdoors. Kids love to run around and scream, but they can’t do that in a movie theater. They can, however, do that and more in your backyard. Plus, what kid doesn’t love sitting in a bean bag chair or laying on piles of blankets while they watch the movie dressed in pajamas or dressed up as characters from the movie? It’s easy to arrange all of that when the party is happening in your very own backyard. Amp the excitement up even more with movie snacks. Along with providing amazing movie screens, Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment offers an extra popcorn bundle. They’ll prepare movie theater style popcorn fresh on-site so the kids can experience every aspect of a true movie night experience.

Video Game Party

Maybe your child isn’t that into movies. No problem. You can still have an amazing outdoor party with a screen large enough to impress all your kid’s guests. Simply change the theme a little bit. Instead of using the screen for a movie night, use it for an ultimate video gaming party. Let the kids take turns battling it out as they compete to see who will be the ultimate video game champion. You can make it more fun for them by offering medals, ribbons, or trophies for the finalists, and don’t forget to give out a few small prizes along the way for best sportsmanship, most encouraging, or most likely to laugh while playing so that everyone goes home a winner. While the other kids aren’t playing on the big screen they can watch the competition or play side games you have set up around the yard. Provide small game stations around the yard that entertain the kids with ring-toss or giant tic-tac-toe games as well as water balloons or slip and slide, or create a full-on obstacle course. The possibilities are endless.

Make your kid’s upcoming birthday one that will surpass their wildest expectations by transforming your backyard into the ultimate party zone. At Ultimate Outdoor Entertainment, you’ll find affordable outdoor screen packages that make planning the ultimate party easier than you could have ever imagined.

That said, there is absolutely no reason why your neighborhood can’t go against the grain and become one of the tight-knit communities of years past. In fact, making an effort to pull your community closer together can be very beneficial for everyone involved. Unfortunately, many people are unsure of the best way to go about bringing people together.

The answer to this question is actually quite simple. Remember those neighborhood barbecues we mentioned earlier? Those were quite effective in making neighborhoods stronger communities. Why not host just such an event yourself?

Choose the Food

Burgers, hot dogs, and chicken wings are easy enough to throw on the grill. If everyone brings a side, you are sure to have plenty of great food to go around. Simply set everything out on a table and let people dig in!

Plan Some Games

If you don’t think some good barbecue wings or burgers and hot dogs will be enough to entice people to join in your neighborhood fun, maybe some fun activities will. If you are hosting early enough in the evening, you should have plenty of daylight to work with. Why not use those last hours of sunshine for some silly relay races or a game of flag football? “Capture the Flag” is also an excellent option. These are the kinds of games that bring people together by requiring them to work as a team.

Schedule Nighttime Entertainment

After food and games, the sun will likely be well on its way down. With lower lighting, the number of activities you can provide goes down significantly. However, this is not to say that the quality of those activities has to go down as well. In fact, we think one of the very best outdoor activities around is one best done in the dark.

An outdoor movie screen would be the ideal addition to any neighborhood block party. Everyone enjoys watching a movie, and by letting people know ahead of time, you can ensure everyone brings a lawn chair or blanket to sit on. Add in some popcorn, candy, and soda, and you have an activity people of all ages can get excited about.

Movie-watching works well as a community builder because it is something everyone can enjoy together, and it gives the neighbors something to chat about when little common ground has been established.

Plan Ahead

Because your block party is bound to be a success, be sure to make room on your schedule for several of these events throughout the warm months. Before you know it, you and your neighbors will be great friends, something that is absolutely priceless no matter who you happen to be.
