Tips for Hosting a Successful Outdoor Movie Night 

As the weather continues to improve and groups are looking to get outside, a movie night may be a great option for school groups, fundraising events, or even your neighborhood backyard gathering. Hosting a successful outdoor movie night, whether you are doing it to raise funds or for pure enjoyment, takes some planning and big screen components that Seacoast Events can help you with!

Movie nights tend to be crowd-pleasing events as they are enjoyable to all ages and allow friends, family, and schoolmates a way to gather to spend time together under the night sky. 

Here are our tips on what you’ll need to host a fun and successful outdoor movie night this spring or summer.

Movie Screen & Projector 

One component of your movie night that is a “must” is a large movie screen that gives all guests a great view from anywhere on the ground. 

Seacoast Events can provide an 11′ tall by 20′ wide inflated movie screen and Lumen Professional Projector. As a part of our Outdoor Movie Night services we also offer a professional Sound System with DVD/Blue Ray Player to ensure that all guests can adequately hear the movie as well as the complete delivery, set-up, and removal of all components. 

As a special bonus, we also provide 2 free illuminated cornhole rentals to keep guests entertained prior to the start of the movie.

Lighting & Decor 

No outdoor movie night is complete without the right lighting and event decor. Our lighting options include personalized lighting, bistro lighting, or hanging lanterns to set the fun mood for your movie night. 

Lighting is a sure-fire way to set the stage for a fun evening of movie watching. Our wireless lighting fixtures will create a beautiful backdrop, while discreetly blending into your venue’s décor.

Cozy Seating 

Sitting under the stars watching a movie with friends is a classic memory you will have for years to come. Make sure you have enough comfortable seating such as beach chairs, pillows, blankets, and bean bags so everyone can enjoy the movie! 

Fun Snacks 

One of the best things about going to a movie theater is the concession stand where guests can choose their favorite snack!

Create your own concession stand where your guests can choose movie-style candy, a bag of popcorn, sodas, Slurpees, and all sorts of other delicious snacks to enjoy while watching. 

Seacoast Events Movie Nights are such a fun way to spend an evening fundraising or just hanging with your friends and family. Let our team help you plan and execute your next movie night with all the components to make it a fun-filled evening that won’t soon be forgotten.
