Backyard big screen
You've seen these screens at concerts. On the days they aren't at a show, one can be in your yard. We bring it, build it, run it and haul it away. You invite people.
What we bring
- An outdoor LED video wall about 10 feet wide, delivered, built and taken down by our crew. Bigger walls for bigger yards.
- Bright enough for an afternoon game. A projector needs dark; this doesn't.
- We hook up to whatever you already watch on: your laptop, cable box or streaming stick, on your home internet. We bring the cables to make it work.
- No internet where the screen is going? We can bring a connection and a streaming box as an add-on.
- Concert speakers turned down to backyard level, and a wireless mic for toasts.
- Lighting for after dark.
- A quiet generator when the spot you want has no power: a dock, a shoreline, the back of the lot.
- A tech who stays as long as you want one there.

What people book it for
Game day watch parties. Movie night on the lawn. Lake parties, with the screen on shore facing the boats. Graduation parties, with eighteen years of photos ten feet wide. Birthdays, reunions and neighborhood nights.
How it works
Send us your date and address. We look at the yard, the power and where the sun will be, usually from a few photos or a quick visit. On the day we show up about two hours early, build it, test it and hand you the remote. When the party's over we pack up and go.
Where we go
All of Michiana and well past it. Granger, South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Goshen, Edwardsburg, Niles and Cassopolis are close to home. We also drive to the Lake Michigan shore from New Buffalo to St. Joseph and South Haven, to the lakes at Culver, Syracuse and Warsaw, and out to Kalamazoo, Fort Wayne and northwest Indiana. We don't mind a drive.
Questions people ask
How big is the screen?
The standard outdoor wall is about 10 feet wide by 6.5 feet tall, roughly three times the picture area of an 85-inch TV. We build larger walls for bigger yards and crowds.
Can you see an LED screen outside in daylight?
Yes. An LED wall makes its own light, so it stays bright in the afternoon. A projector and inflatable screen only work after dark.
What do I need to provide?
A flat spot about 12 feet wide, a way to roll gear to it, and whatever you normally watch on: a laptop, cable box or streaming stick. Two outdoor outlets on separate circuits is ideal. If there's no power where you want the screen, we bring a quiet generator.
How much does it cost to rent an outdoor LED screen for a party?
It depends on the wall size, whether you want sound and lighting, and how long you want a tech there. Send us the date, the address and a rough guest count and we'll send an itemized quote.
What about weather?
The outdoor panels are weather-rated. We watch the forecast with you and make the weather call before our crew sets up. If we call it off before setup, we move you to another date as our schedule allows. Once the wall is built, the event is billed in full.
Can we show a movie for the whole neighborhood?
Yes. A movie at a private party is simple. A showing for an HOA, club or lake association needs a public-performance license, and we'll point you to where to get one.
Do you set up at lake homes in Michigan?
Yes. We work across southwest Michigan and northern Indiana, from Edwardsburg, Cassopolis and Niles to New Buffalo, St. Joseph and South Haven. We don't mind a drive.
Where we work
Based in Mishawaka. We work all over Michiana: South Bend, Mishawaka, Elkhart, Granger, Goshen, Niles, St. Joseph, Benton Harbor, La Porte, Plymouth, Culver, Warsaw, and across the Great Lakes region.
