Party Supplies in Newcastle

What to Check Before You Hire

Party supplies on Party Hero means the things you hire in to fill a party, from photo booths and light-up signs to balloon garlands, furniture, staging and sound. For a Newcastle or Lake Macquarie event, a few well-chosen extras can do more for the night than a big decor spend.

The suppliers here travel across Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, and each one covers a different part of the set-up, so most hosts end up booking two or three.

Ways to narrow down what you need:

Photo booths give guests something to do and a take-home print, with open-air, mirror and 360 video styles
Light-up letters, neon signs and fairy-light canopies create a focal point for photos and dancing
Balloon garlands and styled zones suit birthdays, baby showers and launches
Furniture, bars and marquees turn a backyard or hall into a function space
Speakers, lighting and staging cover speeches, music and entertainment
A jumping castle keeps children busy at a family party

Listed starting prices include $400, $439, $499, $500, $650 and $695 for booths and styling. For a full styling plan, see event stylists, or browse photo booths on their own.

Check how many hours are included and whether the booth can run the whole event
Ask if an attendant stays with the booth or it runs on its own
Look at print options, such as strips or larger prints, and whether printing is unlimited
Ask about a digital gallery and how quickly guests receive their photos
Confirm the floor space and power the booth needs

Lighting, signs and styling

Giant letters and neon signs come in set colours, so check they match your theme
Fairy-light canopies need anchor points, so confirm the venue allows hanging
Balloon installs are usually built on site, so allow set-up time before guests arrive
Ask whether pack-down and collection are included at the end of the night

Putting the hire list together

Start with the venue's rules on decor, open flames, confetti and set-up times
Book booths and lighting early for Saturday weddings and end-of-year parties
Combine pieces from one supplier where you can to save on delivery
Share a floor plan with every supplier so nothing ends up blocking an exit
