What to Check Before You Hire

Hiring gear is where a backyard party turns into an event and a plain function room gets some personality. Suppliers here deliver and set up across all seven ACT districts, and about half of them also take jobs in Queanbeyan and Jerrabomberra, so raise a Queanbeyan address at the first enquiry.

Prices on this page start from $120 for marquee hire, $400 for a themed sleepover setup and $660 for photo booth hire. Production companies quote per event, so expect a custom figure for sound and lighting.

Common things people hire for a party or function in the ACT:

  • A marquee with flooring, so a garden party survives a cold night or a hot afternoon.
  • An open-air photo booth with prints or a digital gallery for guests.
  • A retro timber photo booth with studio lighting, from $799, for a room where the booth should suit the styling.
  • Sound, lighting and screens run by technicians for speeches and dancing.
  • Backdrops, balloon work and stage styling from a decorations specialist.
  • Tables, chairs and dance floors through event furniture hire.

Book the large items first. A marquee and its layout decide where the booth, the speakers and the styling can go.

Questions to ask any hire supplier

  • Is delivery, set-up and pack-down included, and what time do they need access?
  • What happens if the gear is damaged or the weather turns?
  • Do they need a power outlet near the setup, and how many?
  • Is a staff member on site for the event or only at drop-off and collection?
  • Are there extra charges for stairs, late collection or a Sunday pick-up?

Seasonal planning for hired gear

  • From late autumn, frosty evenings make walls on a marquee and indoor space for the booth worth arranging.
  • Summer afternoons are hot and dry, so shade and water for an outdoor setup come first.
  • End-of-year work parties take a lot of production crews and booths, so lock those dates early.

Pairing supplies with the rest of the plan

  • A DJ may bring their own speakers, so check before hiring a separate PA.
  • If a caterer is setting up a buffet, give them the table plan along with the furniture order.
  • Ask an event stylist to coordinate colours with the hired linen and backdrops.
