Years
Servicing Christchurch, Canterbury and the wider South Island of New Zealand
Experienced
When it comes to pulling off a flawless event, experience counts - and we've got it in spades.
From weddings and parties to festivals and corporate functions (and everything in between!), we’ve helped bring some of Canterbury's most memorable events to life.

When it comes to events, we’ve been around the block - and down the aisle - a few hundred times. With countless weddings, parties, and large-scale events under our belts, we’re more than qualified to help you plan your special occasion with confidence.
Consider us your behind-the-scenes dream team, making sure everything arrives looking the part, without a hitch.
Hire catalogue
From quality marquees to the smallest event hire details, we’ve got one of Canterbury's largest event hire catalogues all under one roof.
Whether you're planning an intimate backyard celebration or a full-scale festival, we’ve got the equipment to bring your vision to life, your way.
Competitive
Great events shouldn’t come with surprise price tags. That’s why we offer quality event hire and expert service at prices that won’t blow the budget.
With transparent quotes and options to suit every scale and style, we offer exceptional value - without cutting corners.
We like our gear the way you like your event – looking sharp. That’s why every marquee, silk lining, plate, glass and fork is lovingly checked, cleaned, and hand-polished after every hire. Water spots, cracks, and chips? Strictly banned. Seriously—we don’t mess around.
Got an idea for something we should at to our hire catalogue? Let us know! We’re all ears (and clipboards), and we’re constantly updating our range with you in mind.
Meet your marquee & Event hire crew
New to coffee drinking and the confines of an office, when Brent isn't getting your quote to you at lightening speed, you'll often find him out on the job bringing events to life.
We dream it and Jason builds it, literally! After spending too many years building with timber, this guy now keeps aluminium standing in all kinds of Canterbury winds and may win the 2025 Tetris Truck Packing Awards if he keeps up the good work.
Our eagle-eyed legends of product control. Nothing gets past these two! If it’s not sparkling, it’s not going anywhere near your event.
