Common questions in Essendon

It depends on what you hire and for how long. Chairs can be a couple of dollars each, glassware cents per piece, a jumping castle from around $150 for a half day, and a marquee from a few hundred dollars up to several thousand for a large wedding structure. Delivery, setup and pack-down are often quoted on top, so ask for an all-in price for your guest count and site.

For a small party, a week or two is usually fine. For weddings, marquees, peak-season dates and long weekends, book four to eight weeks ahead or more, because the best local hire companies sell out on popular Saturdays. If your date is fixed, lock in the big items like the marquee and dance floor first.

Most do, and for marquees, dance floors and lighting it is usually included or quoted as a clear line item. Small items like chairs, tables and glassware can be delivered and collected, or picked up yourself to save money. Confirm what is included, the delivery window and whether someone needs to be on site.

For a marquee on private property it usually comes down to size, how long it is up and whether it is near boundaries or services. Larger structures and any event on public land or a reserve can need council approval or a permit. Ask your hire company, as they set up in your area regularly and can tell you what your council expects.

As a rough guide, allow about one square metre per person for a cocktail stand-up event, and closer to one and a half to two square metres per person for a seated dinner with tables, plus room for a bar, buffet or dance floor. Give the hire company your final headcount and event style and they will size the structure properly.

Cover is exactly why people hire marquees and flooring, so a wet forecast is manageable with the right setup. Jumping castles and some lighting cannot run in strong wind or heavy rain for safety, so ask each operator about their wet-weather and cancellation policy before you book and keep a backup plan for outdoor-only items.

Many hire companies take a deposit to secure the date and sometimes a refundable bond against damage or loss, released after the gear comes back clean and undamaged. Read the terms for cleaning, breakage and late-return charges so there are no surprises, and keep glassware and equipment together for collection.

It varies. Some companies charge a cleaning fee and take glassware and crockery back dirty within reason, others expect it rinsed and repacked. Confirm the return-clean policy when you book so you can plan the pack-down, and always return cutlery and small items counted and boxed to avoid loss charges.
