A live directory of event equipment, marquee and structure hire companies supplying furniture, tenting and infrastructure for events across New Zealand.
Every event sits on a layer of hired infrastructure most guests never notice until it's missing: the marquee keeping the weather off, the flooring, furniture, staging, power, heating, temporary fencing and the less glamorous essentials like portable toilets. Event equipment and marquee hire companies supply this backbone, and for any event held outdoors, in a dry-hire space or beyond the walls of a full-service venue, they are as important as the caterer.
The list below gathers equipment and structure hire suppliers operating across New Zealand, ranging from large marquee and tenting specialists and general event-hire firms through to furniture, styling and party-hire operators. Choosing well is about matching the supplier to the job and the site: a formal clear-span marquee for 400 on an exposed paddock is a different proposition from a handful of trestle tables and a stretch tent for a garden function. Site access, ground conditions, power and a realistic weather contingency all shape what you actually need.
Use the directory to build a shortlist, then confirm delivery, install and pack-down windows against your venue's access. Browse the full equipment hire directory for profiles and contacts.

Marquees and temporary structures, flooring, furniture, staging, power and generators, heating and cooling, temporary fencing, portable toilets, and general event and party equipment.
When your event is outdoors, at a site without a suitable building, or when you want to expand a venue's capacity. A marquee turns a paddock, garden or car park into an event space — with the right flooring, power and weather plan.
For peak season (spring and summer) and large structures, book several months ahead. Popular marquee sizes and dates sell out, and early booking secures a site visit and accurate quote.
Site access for delivery, ground type and anchoring, power and lighting, heating or cooling, a weather contingency, and clear install and pack-down times that fit your venue's access window.
