About The Event Tent Port Douglas
The Event Tent is a Port Douglas business run by long-time locals who style pop-up picnics and small celebrations with a relaxed coastal look. Its set-ups use bell tents, canopies, fringed umbrellas, rattan and bamboo furniture, rugs and cushions, and the business tries to use natural materials and fabrics in place of plastic. Balloons are not offered. Picnics are its main line, and proposals are its specialty. A picnic package includes a rug, cushions, a low table, crystal glassware, an ice bucket and a grazing and champagne gift hamper, with larger set-ups adding bamboo beach chairs, an umbrella or a cabana and full table settings. Each package comes with a short planning consultation. Flowers, candles, lanterns, music and photography can be added, and the team sets everything up before you arrive at Four Mile Beach, Oak Beach, Rex Smeal Park, St Mary's Beach or a rainforest or paddock spot of your choosing. Picnics also suit elopements, anniversaries, birthdays, hens days, baby showers and girls' gatherings. For bigger celebrations there are canvas bell tents: a 5 m tent furnished for up to six guests and a 7 m tent that holds 25 to 30 people standing or seated. They suit birthday sleep-overs, family celebrations, weddings and functions, and can be paired with a picnic party, festoon lighting, a speaker or catering. A DIY picnic hire option is also available for collection.

Frequently asked questions
Where can The Event Tent set up a picnic?
Picnics are set up at several spots along Four Mile Beach, Oak Beach, Rex Smeal Park and its Little Cove, and St Mary's Beach, or on private land, in the rainforest or in a grassy paddock if you prefer.
What is included in a proposal picnic?
Packages include the rug, cushions, a table, crystal glassware, an ice bucket and a grazing hamper with French champagne, plus a short planning consultation. Larger set-ups add beach chairs, an umbrella or cabana and full table settings.
What happens if it rains?
Picnic equipment is never set up in rain or on wet ground, so a covered back-up spot is recommended. You can move indoors with at least 24 hours' notice or reschedule with at least 72 hours' notice, subject to availability.
How big are the bell tents?
The 5 m bell tent is furnished for up to six guests, and the 7 m tent can hold 25 to 30 people standing or seated. A tent needs a cleared, mowed space about 9 m across.
Can I hire a picnic and set it up myself?
Yes. DIY picnic hire is collected from Mowbray or another agreed spot, is hired for 24 hours and must come back clean. A $400 credit card hold is taken as a bond and your licence is copied at pick-up.
