We start with the occasion, location and outcome before talking through equipment.
About Marquee & Event Hire
Experience makes an event feel easier
Ghizlaine and Brendan established Marquee and Event Hire in 2012 and have been working with clients throughout the Central South Island since.

The value is knowing what works
Most customers do not hire event equipment every week. We work with it every day.
That experience helps us spot the questions that have not been asked yet: whether the marquee fits the site, how the layout affects capacity, where catering needs to operate, what weather might change and how many small items the guest count really requires.
Our job is to make those decisions clearer, prepare the equipment carefully and deliver when the plan says it needs to be there.
Think ahead
Practical experience helps identify access, weather, layout and service considerations early.
Keep it clear
Useful answers, realistic recommendations and communication you do not need to chase.
Follow through
Prepared equipment, dependable delivery and a tidy finish to the hire process.
Proudly local
South Canterbury knowledge matters
Based just outside Timaru, we understand local venues, rural properties, changing weather and the realities of delivering event equipment around the region.
