Planning an Event? Find Neon Signs
Browse event signage, compare a few, then enquire – free, no markup.
Signage does two jobs at a Gold Coast event. On a conference floor at a Broadbeach hotel it tells people where to go and whose event it is, while at a party or wedding it mostly gives the photos a focal point, with neon, backdrops and giant letters.
Work out which job you are hiring for, since the suppliers and budgets differ. Light-up letters start at $125 and suit a birthday or engagement, while packaged company hire that can include signage starts at $550.
To get an accurate quote, have these ready:
Long and narrow as this coast is, a welcome sign or directional arrow can do useful work at a sprawling hinterland estate or a marina with several entrances. Check each sign from where guests will first see it, then adjust.

Hire starts at $125, and the final figure depends on how many letters or numbers you want. Ask about delivery, set-up and how long the hire runs.
Often not without permission. Ask your events contact what is allowed, and consider self-standing signs and display walls that avoid the question altogether.
Start with welcome and directional signs, a stage or screen backdrop, and sponsor or exhibitor displays. Then check the hall's size limits and bump-in time before ordering.
They can if properly weighted or staked. Tell your supplier the site is exposed, and avoid lightweight boards anywhere that catches wind off the ocean or Broadwater.
Hiring usually makes sense for one event, particularly for a standard phrase. Buying only pays off if you want your own wording and have somewhere to display it later.
