How Do I Show Wedding Video at Outdoor AHR?

[classadiva]

Hi ladies,

 

  We are having a very casual AHR/BBQ.  We want to show our wedding video.  How do we show it? Can we show it from our computer and project it from a screen?  Do we need something else?  Is there somewhere where we can rent this equipment?  Thanks.

We have a projector and an inflatable screen that we use for outdoor family events...we're just going to use that...We purchased both from Sam's Club...I'm sure you can rent the equipment vs. buying especially if it's not something you're going to ever use...but I was so determined to get one years ago but we use it all the time in the summer!  I would look at audio visual companies in your area to see how much they would cost for set up and rental!

Thank you...I found a projector I can borrow...I have to look into the inflateable screen thing and Sam's club or Costco's!!  Thanks again.

There's a nice one for 169.99 for 120 inch screen!

Are you going to have a tent?  I am having a white tent and was thinking maybe we could use the side of the tent?  Has anyone tried this before?

Depends where outdoors, any buildings nearby that you could project on?

For a super cheap option, can you hang a makeshift clothes line between 2 trees? If so you can hang a thick white sheet or drop cloth from it and project on to that!
