The party hire bookings Canberra events call for most

Every city has its own rhythm of party and event hire, set by the venues people use and the weather they plan around. In Canberra, with a dry continental climate with cold, often frosty winters and warm, dry summers and lakeside reserves, vineyard and rural properties on the city's fringe, and function venues built around the national institutions, a handful of bookings come up again and again.

Marquees lead the list for weddings and bigger backyard events. The cold, frosty winters push almost all outdoor event hire into the warmer half of the year, so the spring and autumn shoulder seasons carry the heaviest bookings, and a marquee (from $450) with the right walls and flooring is the difference between an event that runs regardless of the forecast and one at the mercy of it.

Tables and chairs are the steady, high-volume booking behind almost every function. Hire companies quote them from $2 per chair, and getting the final headcount right before you order saves paying for spares or scrambling for extras.

Jumping castles and inflatables are the go-to for kids parties, from $150 for a half day, and they are the single most time-sensitive booking around school holidays, since the popular units go first.

Event lighting and festoon runs turn up on almost every evening function, from $180, because Canberra events increasingly run into the evening and a lit marquee or backyard reads completely differently after dark.

Then there is everything that supports the main booking: glassware and crockery, a cool room for drinks and catering, or a photo booth for a corporate event.
