FAQ
Common booking questions
How far ahead should I book party hire?
Book as soon as the date, suburb and guest count are settled. Weekends, school holidays and large marquee setups usually need more notice than a small weekday hire.
Do party hire suppliers deliver, or do I pick up?
Large items are usually delivered and collected by the supplier. Smaller items may be available for pickup. Always confirm delivery fees, time windows, access and return condition before paying a deposit.
What should I ask about marquee weather plans?
Ask how the marquee is anchored, whether walls or gutters are available, and what weather conditions would make setup unsafe. A supplier may refuse or delay an install if the site is not safe.
What power do jumping castles, sound and lighting need?
Most powered hire items need a safe power point close to the setup area. Ask about lead length, weather protection, tagged equipment and whether a generator is needed for parks or ovals.
Do jumping castles need supervision?
Yes. A responsible adult should supervise use, follow the supplier's capacity and age rules, keep food and shoes off the inflatable, and stop use in unsafe wind or rain.
How do cancellations normally work?
Cancellation terms vary by supplier. Ask what happens if the date changes, the weather turns, the venue cancels or a deposit has already been paid.
