Where we started
Kia Ora! My name is Edwina, and together with my husband Dion, we proudly own and operate our family party hire business nestled in the stunning Western Bay of Plenty. Having moved to the Katikati area in 2008, we've dedicated ourselves to this community, leaving our mark through our careers and our involvement in our children’s sports as coaches and managers.
From planning our own wedding for 250 guests and three of our five children’s 21st birthdays with the same attendance, we found ourselves scouring Christchurch and Tauranga for caterers, marquees, tables, chairs, and chafing dishes, among other essentials.
It was from this experience that we envisioned creating a ‘one-stop shop’ offering affordable hire equipment. Whether we have it in stock or not, we're committed to sourcing what you need, and if we're not the most cost-effective option, we encourage you to choose whoever offers the best value for you — it’s always about ensuring you have the best experience possible!
We hope you choose to hire all your party needs with us in the future!
