Start with what you need and the look you are after. Marquees and flooring, tables and seating, crockery, glassware and cutlery, linen, lighting, dance floors, staging and AV are all different, so look for a hire company that stocks the range and style for your event.
Check the quality and condition of the stock, and whether delivery, setup, pack-down and collection are included or charged separately. For marquees especially, confirm site inspections, weather options and how access and ground conditions are handled.
Get a clear quote covering hire period, delivery zones, bond or damage waiver, and replacement charges for breakages. Recent reviews on stock condition, punctual delivery and smooth pack-down are the best guide.
It depends entirely on what you hire, from a few dollars per chair or glass to several hundred or thousand dollars for a marquee with flooring and lighting. Most companies quote per item or as a package, plus delivery and setup.
Many companies deliver, set up and pack down for a fee based on your location and the size of the order, while smaller items can often be collected yourself. Confirm what is included when you book.
For weddings and large functions, book popular items like marquees and quality furniture several months ahead, especially over summer. Smaller orders can often be arranged a few weeks out.
Most companies charge for breakages and losses, and may take a bond or offer a damage waiver. Check the replacement costs and terms in your hire agreement before the event.
Yes, marquee specialists assess your site for size, access and ground type, then deliver and install. Book a site visit early so they can recommend the right marquee and flooring.
Most supply weddings, corporate functions, parties and public events. Check they have the range and quantity you need for your guest numbers and style.
