  • Can I customise my hire package?

    Yes, party hire is usually highly flexible and can be tailored to your event’s size, style and layout. You can mix and match items to suit your theme, from rustic timber tables to elegant white marquees or colourful party décor. Most companies are happy to help you build a custom package based on your guest numbers, space, and preferences.


    You might want to hire just a few chairs and a cool room, or a full setup with tables, lighting, glassware and a sound system. Custom packages help ensure you're only paying for what you actually need.

  • What happens if something gets damaged during my event?

    If an item is damaged or broken during your event, you should notify the hire company as soon as possible. Most hire agreements include terms outlining your responsibilities for equipment care, and you may be liable for repair or replacement costs.


    Some providers offer damage waivers or protection plans, which can reduce your liability for accidental breakage. This won’t usually cover neglect or intentional damage. It’s a good idea to inspect items upon delivery and take photos if anything appears faulty before use. Treating hired gear as if it were your own will help you avoid issues post-event.

  • Do I need council approval to use party hire equipment in public spaces?

    Yes, in many cases, using party hire equipment in public areas like parks, footpaths or community centres requires approval from your local council. This may involve applying for a permit, paying a fee or meeting safety requirements like public liability insurance or site inspection. Councils may restrict certain items such as marquees, generators or amplified sound systems, particularly in high-traffic or heritage-listed areas.


    Always check local regulations before setting up in a public space. If you're unsure, your hire provider may be able to assist with the application process or suggest alternative compliant venues.
