Already Own a Projector? Inflatable Party Magic Brings the Screen
You have a projector in the closet and a speaker that pairs to your phone. What you do not have is a wall big enough for a backyard full of people. Inflatable Party Magic delivers a 13-foot-wide inflatable movie screen and sets it up in your yard. You plug in your own gear and press play. It is the screen-only option in our backyard movie screen rentals in DFW.
The picture area is about 10 by 6 feet, and the whole screen needs only 8 feet of depth. It fits a normal backyard and still works for up to 150 people in lawn chairs. It is like a drive-in, minus the cars. We deliver it for party rentals in Alvarado, Venus bounce house and party rentals, party rentals in Grandview, and 50+ other DFW cities.
Just to be clear: this rental is the screen only. No projector, no speakers, and no player come with it. If you do not have that gear, the complete backyard movie screen package includes the same screen plus a projector, Yamaha sound, and a Blu-ray player.
What Is a Screen-Only Movie Screen Rental?

You supply your own projector, speaker, and movie. It suits backyard audiences of up to 150 and rents for up to 2.5 hours across DFW Texas.

Who Rents the Movie Screen Only
Home Theater Families
You already put money into a good projector and soundbar. Taking them outside for one night only requires a screen big enough to make it worth it.
Churches With an AV Team
Your sanctuary projector and sound crew can run an outdoor movie night. They only need something to project onto.
Schools With an AV Cart
Roll the classroom projector out to the playground and the PTO movie night is set without renting gear the school already owns.
Gamers With a Projector
Hook up the console to your own projector and play on a 13-foot screen in the yard. It is the easiest sleepover win there is.
Bigger Crowd?
For a park or school field, the Giant movie screen only rental gives you a much larger picture for your own equipment.

Our Party-First Cancellation & Weather Philosophy
Weather Happens
Rain and expensive projectors do not mix, and Texas skies change fast. If weather calls off movie night, you get a flexible rain check with no penalty, and your deposit moves to the new date.
Empathy Over Logistics
We lead with kindness and find a solution instead of pointing at the fine print. Chanda runs this company as a parent and a neighbor.
The Magic Standard
Every screen goes up the way we would want it in our own yard. If something is off, we make it right. That is how we earned over 1,200 five-star Google reviews since 2002.
