Customer Reviews
What sets Backyard Starz apart
Anyone can drop off a screen. We’re here to make your night feel effortless — with thoughtful add-ons, real communication, and a setup that actually feels like a “backyard theater.”
Colorful Lounge Chairs (Our Signature)
This is the detail people remember. Add inflatable lounge chairs in teal, pink, or grey and your backyard instantly looks like an “event,” not a last-minute setup.
Trusted by Families (See the Reviews)
You shouldn’t have to “hope” a vendor shows up and delivers. We’ve got a track record of on-time, friendly service — and the reviews to prove it.
Actually Responsive
Planning a party comes with questions. We reply fast, explain things clearly, and help you choose the right package without upselling you into something you don’t need.
Setup That Just Works
We deliver, set up, and test everything so you’re not troubleshooting cables while guests arrive. If you pick DIY, we make it foolproof.
Bright Picture + Clear Sound
The difference between “cute idea” and “wow” is picture + audio. We aim for crisp projection and sound that carries — so people actually hear the movie.
Perfect for Parties & Events
Birthdays, family nights, school events, neighborhood movie nights — we’ll help you dial in the right setup so it fits your crowd and your space.
