Event equipment hire in Wellington

The capital hosts government, association and corporate events year-round, and the MICE directory lists 20 event equipment hire companies serving Wellington — from furniture and marquees to fencing, staging and exhibition displays.

General event hire, furniture and styling

For tables, seating, linen, bars, staging and décor, Wellington's established hire firms include Wellington Event Hire, Hiremaster Wellington, Festival Hire, Happy Hire, Tonic Event Hire, Carlton Party Hire and Event Force. For styling-led furniture and props, look to Tailormade Affair, The Vintage Party, A Perfect Day, Made Lovely, Mavis and Foxe and FLSSH.

Marquees, fencing and site infrastructure

Outdoor events on Wellington's waterfront or in regional parks often need temporary structures and crowd control. 360 Fence Hire supplies temporary fencing and barriers, while Portaking provides portable toilet and site facilities.

Exhibition and display

For conferences and trade shows, Displayways NZ supplies modular exhibition stands, banners and display systems.

How to choose

Start from the event format. A seated conference in a purpose-built venue usually needs styling, furniture and AV extras, while an outdoor function needs marquees, fencing and facilities. Confirm delivery, setup and pack-down windows around your run sheet, and book early for the busy November–February season. A PCO or DMC can manage several suppliers as one contract.
