Common questions
Birthday Party Hire Melbourne — the questions we hear most.
What's the minimum spend for delivery?
Around $400 for local Bayside delivery, higher for outer metro. Anything under that we can point you towards suitable pickup-friendly alternatives.
Do you do 21st birthday parties?
Yes — 21sts are one of our specialties. See our dedicated 21st birthday hire page for packages, pricing and what typically works well for that age group.
Can I add a slushie machine or BBQ?
Absolutely. Both are popular birthday add-ons. Slushie machines come with 2 x 4-litre syrup mixes; BBQs are commercial-grade with gas included.
What if the weather turns bad?
Pop-up marquees are fully-waterproof and can be up in under 30 minutes on arrival — even if you didn't originally book one, we can often add one last-minute if we have stock. Chat to us if it looks rainy.
How late can we run the party?
Whenever you like — the pack-down is next-morning by default, so late nights aren't a problem. We can also do same-night pack-down for an additional fee if your venue requires it.
Do you have kids' party equipment too?
Yes — see our dedicated kids' birthday hire page for kid-sized furniture, themed setups, and safety considerations. Also happy to combine bookings if you're hosting a mixed adult-and-kids event.
