About Australian Hiring Company
Australian Hiring Company is an Adelaide party and event hire business that has been fitting out functions since the late 1960s. It works from Melrose Park, where clients can book a consultation at the event studio and look through examples of earlier set-ups. The signature piece is a black-framed marquee, offered with clear roof panels for night-sky views or a solid black roof for shade and shelter. It is 10 metres wide and grows in 3-metre lengths, so the same structure can cover an intimate dinner or a reception of around 300. It suits lawns as well as hard surfaces such as courtyards, forecourts and rooftops. Around the marquee, the company hires event furniture, ceremony benches, dance floors, flooring, festoon and feature lighting, hanging centrepieces and wedding decor. Clients receive 3D plans of the layout, and the team handles site visits, installation and pack-down. The AHC+ range adds event coordination, design, installation and cleaning for anyone who wants more help. The crew regularly works at Adelaide Oval, Ayers House, Carclew House, Adelaide Town Hall, Bonython Hall, the Botanic Gardens, Penfolds Magill Estate and the National Wine Centre, as well as private gardens, wineries and Hills halls. Weddings, corporate functions, gala dinners, milestone birthdays and engagement parties are all part of the regular work.

Frequently asked questions
How big are Australian Hiring Company's black marquees?
The black-framed marquees are 10 metres wide and extend in 3-metre lengths, so the layout can be configured for anything from about 30 guests at a dinner to around 300 at a reception.
Can the marquee go on paving or a courtyard?
Yes. The black marquees are built for both soft and hard ground, so they can be set up on lawns, courtyards, museum forecourts, rooftops and other urban spaces as well as gardens.
Do they set everything up?
Yes. The team runs site visits, installs the marquee and furniture, checks that everything is secure and level, and comes back to pack it all down after the event.
Can I see the layout before the day?
The company prepares 3D plans of your set-up, and you can book a meeting at its Melrose Park event studio or arrange a phone appointment to talk through the design.
What extra services are available beyond hire?
The AHC+ range covers installation, event coordination, event design and cleaning, which can be added to a quote alongside furniture, lighting, flooring and marquee hire.
