About Aussie Hire & Events
Aussie Hire & Events is an Adelaide family business that began nearly four decades ago in Dave and Trish Bown's backyard. With the founders now semi-retired, their daughter Steph Sayers and son-in-law Zane Sheehan run the day-to-day operation from the office and warehouse in Beverley. The company hires marquees, pavilions and event furniture for weddings, milestone birthdays, corporate functions and large-scale events. Traditional marquees use centre poles, pegs and guy ropes, while pavilions need no guy ropes and suit tight spaces; both are installed and dismantled by the company's own staff. On paving or other hard ground, weights replace pegs for an extra charge. Weekend orders are usually delivered on the Thursday or Friday and collected the following Monday, with the schedule confirmed at least a week ahead. Smaller orders can be picked up from the Beverley warehouse if you can transport them. Delivery is quoted on the day of the week, the event location and how easy the site is to reach. The team helps size a marquee or pavilion around guest numbers, a seated or cocktail format, round or long tables, a dance floor, a bridal table and banquet space. Hire prices are based on a single day, a 30% deposit secures the booking, and the business carries public liability insurance.

Frequently asked questions
Can I collect my order from Aussie Hire & Events?
Yes, depending on the size of the order and whether you can transport it. Pick-ups are from the warehouse in Beverley; marquees and pavilions are always installed by the company's staff.
What is the difference between a marquee and a pavilion?
A marquee is a peg-and-pole tent with a sloping roof held in tension by guy ropes. A pavilion has no guy ropes, needs almost no clearance around its sides and suits tighter spaces.
Can a marquee go on concrete or paving?
Yes. Weights are used instead of pegs to hold the structure down. The extra labour adds to the cost, so mention the surface when you ask for a quote.
When will my weekend hire be delivered?
Weekend orders are normally delivered on Thursday or Friday and collected on the Monday after. The exact timing depends on that week's schedule and is confirmed at least a week before.
How do I know what size marquee I need?
The team works it out with you from guest numbers, whether guests are seated or standing, round or long tables, a dance floor, a bridal table and any banquet catering space.

Aussie did a great job in setting up the marquee. There was a problem with the gas heater just hours prior to the function and Dave attended to repair (even if reluctantly) thanks again
