Sit Down Next to Me - Movie Seating

An Outdoor Movie is an amazing experience. We often get asked about seating.  We have seen it all. From couches to mattresses, tents or children's ride on toys, the list goes on.
Here are some common questions and answers and a few examples to help you choose the correct seating for your event.

Where should seating start for my Outdoor Movie?

Children love to get up close. I normally recommend starting seating at around the width of the screen (depending on location).  If the width of the screen is 16 foot, start seating at 16 foot.

What are they going to sit on at the Outdoor Movie?

This really depends on the type of event you are hosting. If its a casual affair have your guests bring their own seating or blankets (BYOC- Bring Your Own Chair). Our Film Festival friends rent chairs for their screenings.  Folding chairs can be rented at most party rental stores (and they deliver!). Looking for a more relaxed but stylish look, get some couches.

This is where fun and creativity takes place.  Here are some great examples from some outdoor movies. For more ideas check out our pinterest seating page.

What if it's a Drive-in?

Don't worry, most cars or golf carts have seats!

My son recommends chairs that have built in tables and cup holders... for the snacks!
