HOW IT WORKS

From "what should we do?" to "quote received" in under two minutes.

No sales calls. No back-and-forth email chains. Just a straightforward four-step process that respects your time.

  1. Tell us about your event

    Use the planner below to select your occasion, guest count, venue type and what you need. Takes about 60 seconds.

  2. We send a tailored quote

    Our team reviews and emails a tailored quote — usually within one business day. Includes suggested marquee sizes, furniture quantities, and styling upgrades.

  3. You confirm your booking

    Reply to lock it in. A 25% deposit secures the date. Balance due 7 days before the event. That's the whole admin process.

  4. We deliver, set up, and collect

    On the day, our team delivers to your venue, sets everything up, and returns the next morning to break down. You don't lift a thing.

FAQ

Questions we get a lot.

If yours isn't answered here, use the planner for a tailored quote, or send us a quick message and we'll reply within one business day.

How much does party hire cost in Melbourne?

A backyard party for 20–40 guests typically costs $400–$900 for a marquee, tables, chairs and lighting. A wedding for 100 guests with a marquee, Tiffany chairs, banquet tables, dance floor and lighting typically ranges $2,500–$6,500 depending on styling. A corporate event with staged lighting, PA and premium furniture ranges $1,500–$8,000. All quotes include delivery, set-up and collection within Melbourne metro.

Do you deliver, set up and collect the equipment?

Yes. Every hire includes delivery, professional set-up and next-day collection as standard. You never lift a marquee pole, unfold a chair or return anything. Our team unloads at your venue, sets up on site, and returns to break everything down after your event.

What Melbourne suburbs do you deliver to?

We deliver across all of metropolitan Melbourne, with same-day and next-day delivery to Bayside suburbs including Brighton, Hampton, Sandringham, Beaumaris, Mentone and Cheltenham. We also serve St Kilda, South Yarra, Richmond, Melbourne CBD, the eastern suburbs, and deliver to the Mornington Peninsula and Geelong, with the Yarra Valley and other regional areas quoted on request.

How far in advance should I book party hire?

For weekend weddings and milestone birthdays in peak season (October–April), we recommend booking 8–12 weeks ahead. Corporate events and mid-week hires usually have 2–4 weeks of availability. Same-week bookings are possible for smaller items — call us on the phone and we'll check the roster.

Do you hire marquees for backyards without hard surfaces?

Yes. Our pop-up marquees (3×3m, 3×6m and 4×8m) install directly on grass, gravel, or paved surfaces using weighted bases or peg-and-guy systems. For combined setups on larger events, we do a free site inspection to check ground conditions and access.

What's included when I hire a marquee?

A standard marquee hire includes the marquee frame, roof and walls, delivery to your Melbourne address, professional set-up, weekend rental period, and collection. Optional add-ons include flooring, side walls, transparent panels, festoon lighting, ceiling drapes, and heating for cooler months.

Can I hire slushie machines and BBQs for a home party?

Yes. Our slushie machines are the most-requested backyard party item — twin-tank commercial units that make 40+ drinks per hour, powered from a standard household outlet. We also hire gas BBQs (from small 4-burner units to full spit roasts), plus glassware, ice tubs, and cocktail bars if you're building a full backyard bar setup.

Do you provide staffed events or just equipment?

Our core service is equipment hire — we deliver, set up, and collect. For staffed services (bar staff, wait staff, event managers, sound techs), we work with a small network of trusted Melbourne partners and can arrange them for you as part of your quote. Ask when you enquire.

Are you insured?

Yes. Easy Peasy Party Hire carries $20 million public liability insurance. A Certificate of Currency (COI) is available on request for venues that require one — most Melbourne council reserves, function centres and corporate offices ask for it. We supply it within one business day.

What's your cancellation policy?

Cancellations made 14+ days before the event are refunded in full, less a $50 admin fee. Cancellations 7–13 days out forfeit the 25% deposit. Cancellations within 7 days are charged 50% of the total. Weather-related postponements (extreme heat >38°C or storm warnings) can be rescheduled without penalty.

Do you hire kids' party equipment?

Yes. Popcorn machines, fairy floss makers, snow-cone machines, kids' tables and chairs, jumping castles (via partner network), and marquees for backyard parties. All catering-adjacent equipment is food-safe and cleaned between hires.

Can you match a competitor's quote?

We'll happily review a competing quote and see if we can better it on price, inclusions, or delivery timing. Our sister-brand Easy Peasy Removals has been in Melbourne for years — our pricing is competitive because our operations are shared.

What payment methods do you accept?

Bank transfer, credit/debit card (Visa, Mastercard, Amex — 1.5% surcharge on Amex), and PayID. A 25% deposit secures your booking. Balance is due 7 days before the event. Corporate clients can arrange 14-day invoice terms on request.

Can we see photos of your marquees and furniture before deciding?

Yes — every quote we send back includes a digital lookbook with photos of the specific marquee, chairs, lighting and furniture we've recommended, set up at real recent events. Same items, same setup — not stock photos. If you want to see something specific styled a particular way, mention it in the enquiry and we'll pull relevant shots from the library.

What makes Easy Peasy different from other Melbourne party hire companies?

Three things. First, we're a sister-brand of Easy Peasy Removals — 1,190+ five-star reviews and years of trusted operations experience already in the group. Second, everything is included: delivery, set-up, and collection are standard, not extras. Third, our 60-second online planner replaces the usual back-and-forth email chains — you get a tailored quote in one business day, not five.
