Event Furniture Hire Central Coast

Furniture is the part of a party plan that tends to surface late – the garden or hall is booked, the guest list is settled, and then someone counts the chairs. On the Central Coast, two hire businesses cover that gap from opposite ends of the scale.

Celebration Set Ups works out of Tuggerah and travels to every part of the coast, from the Woy Woy Peninsula and Terrigal up to Wyong and the northern lakes and out to the hinterland. Its online catalogue lists seating, trestle tables, peacock chairs and signing tables with prices attached, so you can cost a backyard engagement or a bridal shower before you enquire, and hire starts from $120. The same team can style the whole event in a boho look or simply drop off a few pieces.

Matakata Hire & Events, based at Somersby, comes at furniture from the marquee side. It pitches Sperry sailcloth tents and Kata tipis for weddings and private events, then fills them with furniture, lighting and styling – or hires those packages on their own for a party in an existing space. Its packages start from $4,599.

Matching the hire to the job:

• A few statement pieces: a peacock chair for the guest of honour or a signing table for the ceremony, from Celebration Set Ups
• Tables and chairs for a backyard or hall: trestles and seating priced in the Tuggerah catalogue and delivered coast-wide
• A paddock or lawn reception: a Matakata tent or tipi with furniture and lighting chosen to suit it
• Work days and birthdays: both businesses supply corporate events and birthday parties as well as weddings

If the furniture is going under canvas, start with marquee hire and size the seating to the tent. For welcome boards and easels to go with it, see event signage.
