Shandreia arrived on time with her assistant and was very professional in setting up for the event. I played my film from my personal computer and the audio worked perfectly through Bluetooth. Unfortunately, I was under the impression that we could start the film at dusk. The webpage even shows a film being visible while not being completely dark. The projector was unable to display my film until it was completely dark outside and so my audience sat for over an hour, waiting. Also, unfortunately, the popcorn machine was broken for my event, so I was unable to at least give my audience a snack while they waited. It became late and too cold, so most of the people left before the film finished, which was very disappointing. I spent a total of $500 (including renting the park) for this event out of my own pocket, so I had certainly hoped for a better outcome. Shandreia did refund me $50 for the broken popcorn machine .
Response from Whimsico Events:
We apologize for your experience. Unfortunately, due to the location you selected for the set up and the sun shining directly on the stage, our projector was not able to reflect onto the screen, which was not in our control.
Our 2000 lumen and 7000 lumen projectors have the ability to project in dusk settings or in shaded areas, this venue did not provide a conducive environment for us to do that. While there, we made every attempt to relocate the screen out of the sun and to try to get the correct shading. The popcorn machine was broken during transit and unfortunately our other machine was out on a rental and we did not have a back up for that day, which I apologized for that as well.
We never like to see our movie night client's unhappy with their movie night experience and we apologize that the direct sunlight prohibited us from starting your film on time. Hopefully, you will allow us another opportunity to service your event in the future so that we can provide you with excellent service.
We appreciate your business and value you as a client!
