WHAT'S INCLUDED

Everything's handled on our end

Zero technical hassle means exactly that β€” here's what Firefly's outdoor screen hire includes.

βœ“

Screen sized to your event β€” from a free-standing Airscreen (no structure cost) up to a large-format PVC canvas screen for bigger outdoor spaces.

βœ“

Laser projector & FM audio β€” 15,000+ lumens and crystal-clear sound to every car or seat.

βœ“

Public performance licensing β€” arranged with the film distributor on request, if you're screening a licensed movie title.

βœ“

Delivery & collection β€” nationwide hire, covering Auckland, Christchurch, Wellington and beyond.

βœ“

Crew, scaled to your booking β€” full setup-to-packdown delivery, or just equipment drop-off if that's all you need.

βœ“

Weather backup plan β€” covered by our 100% Kiwi Weather Guarantee.

πŸ“‹

Public screenings require consent from the film distributor before a movie can be shown or promoted β€” Firefly can arrange this on request for an extra fee. If you choose one of our PVC canvas screen options, note that any scaffolding or hanging structure is the host's responsibility; our free-standing Airscreen options come at no structure cost.

🚚

Outside Auckland, Christchurch or Wellington? Firefly delivers outdoor movie screen hire nationwide β€” let us know your location and we'll confirm delivery and setup costs.

GOOD TO KNOW

Hire FAQs

How much does outdoor movie screen hire cost?βˆ’

There's no flat rate β€” every quote depends on screen size, projector and crew needed. As a guide, our free-standing Airscreen options start from a lower day rate than our large-format PVC canvas screens, which need scaffolding or a building to hang from.

Do you deliver to Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington?+

Yes! We provide outdoor movie screen and projector hire across Auckland, Christchurch and Wellington, as well as nationwide for larger events. Delivery, setup and collection are all included in your custom quote.

Can I hire just the projector, without the screen?+

Yes, we offer projector-only hire if you already have a projection surface, building wall or existing structure. Just let us know in your enquiry and we'll quote the right commercial laser projector for your event.

Do I need a public performance licence?+

If you are showing a commercially released, copyrighted film to an audience (whether free or ticketed), public performance copyright consent is legally required. Firefly can handle this licensing directly with the distributor on your behalf.

How far ahead do we need to book?+

We recommend booking 3–6 weeks in advance, especially during peak summer months and weekend dates. If you require film licensing or custom staging, earlier is always better to ensure availability.

Can we operate the equipment ourselves?+

Yes, we offer equipment drop-off and basic orientation if you prefer to operate the screening yourself. For larger events, multi-speaker setups or peace of mind, our dedicated AV crew is available to manage the entire night.

What happens if it rains?+

You are covered by our 100% Kiwi Weather Guarantee. Light drizzle generally doesn't stop an outdoor screening, but if adverse weather makes an outdoor event impossible, we work with you to reschedule to an agreed backup date at no extra charge.
