Everything You Need to Know About Hiring Décor for Your Wedding
Decorating a wedding in Melbourne can be overwhelming when you realise just how many décor items you’ll need to create the look and atmosphere you’re dreaming of. Buying everything outright isn’t practical, which is why most couples turn to wedding décor hire.
The question is, what décor products are available to hire, how do you use them to style your wedding, and should you DIY or hire a professional team to do your wedding decorating and installation for you?
This guide breaks it all down everything, from furniture and lighting to outdoor wedding hire products and catering equipment. This will all help you make smart decisions for your wedding décor hire needs.
Why Hire Wedding Décor Instead of Buying It?
Hiring wedding décor is almost always more practical than buying everything yourself, especially for a one-day event. Here’s why:
Cost Effective
Buying décor adds up quickly, and you only need it for a few hours. Even if you plan to resell it, Melbourne’s second hand wedding market is saturated, and most couples end up selling items for half or less of what they paid.
No Transport or Storage Stress
Décor takes space. It needs to be packed, protected, moved, lifted, and stored somewhere before and after the wedding. Hiring removes that problem completely.
Installed For You
With full-service hire (like what we offer), the décor is delivered, set up, and packed down for you. No wrangling helpers, no ladders, no late-night pack downs, no trying to style while you’re meant to be getting ready.
Better Quality Items
Hire companies stock sturdy, high quality wedding décor built for events. You won’t need to rely on budget décor that looks great online but arrives flimsy, the wrong shade, or impossible to assemble under time pressure.
Wedding Décor Sustainability & Reuse Benefits
Weddings can create a surprising amount of waste especially from packaging and flowers to one use decorations that often end up in storage or landfill. Hiring décor is one of the simplest ways to make your wedding more sustainable without compromising on style.
Here’s why wedding décor hire makes a difference:
- Less waste: Every hire item is cleaned, maintained, and reused for future events instead of being thrown away after one night.
- Lower carbon footprint: Reusing décor cuts down on manufacturing, shipping, and packaging waste.
- No post wedding clutter: You won’t be left with boxes of decorations you’ll never use again or can’t sell.
- Quality that lasts: Commercial grade hire décor is built to last through multiple weddings, unlike cheaper retail décor that’s made for single use.
Hiring your wedding décor is not only easier and more affordable, it’s also the most environmentally responsible way to decorate your wedding. This is especially compared to buying low-cost décor online that rarely holds up or resells well.
How Feel Good Events Wedding Hire Works
Every wedding is different, but our hire process keeps things simple and stress-free from the first conversation to the final pack down. Here’s how it works when you hire décor through Feel Good Events.
1. We Chat About Your Event
Start by telling us about your wedding, your venue, guest numbers, and the overall look you’re hoping for. You don’t need every detail figured out. A quick chat helps us understand whether you need a few key hire items or full design and setup support.
2. We Create a Custom Quote
Based on your venue details, setup times, and what décor you need, we’ll put together an itemised quote showing all hire, delivery, and labour costs. No hidden extras and everything is outlined clearly before you confirm.
3. You Secure Your Booking
Once you’re happy with your quote, a 20% deposit locks in your booking. This secures your hire items and date in our system. From there, we handle all planning and logistics behind the scenes.
4. We Handle Delivery & Setup
Our team delivers and installs everything at your venue, working within your bump in window and access requirements. We coordinate directly with your planner, venue, or other suppliers if needed, to make sure setup runs smoothly.
5. We Pack Down & Collect After the Event
When the weddings over, we return to pack down and collect everything, usually the next morning or the same night, depending on venue access. You don’t lift a finger.
What Makes it Easy:
- One point of contact: You’ll work with the same team from quote to pack down.
- Experience with all types of venues: From city hotels to outdoor marquees, we know what works and how to make access easy.
- No stress or last minute surprises: We plan setup and pack down around your venue’s timing and restrictions so you can focus on enjoying your wedding day.

- Reception Seating: Dining chairs, bar stools, or banquet seating options.
- Tables: Banquet tables, round dining tables, cocktail tables, coffee tables.
- Lounge Furniture: Sofas, ottomans, armchairs, coffee tables, rugs, and side tables to create relaxed breakout spaces.

Wedding Lighting Hire
- Mood Lighting: Up lights, wall washes, chandeliers, candelabras.
- Party Lighting: Mirror balls, moving lights, smoke machines and lasers.
- Fairy & Festoon Lighting: Festoon/Fairy light strings for ceilings, gardens, or outdoor courtyards.

Wedding Draping Hire & Ceiling Installations
- Ceiling Draping: Ceiling Drape in Soft fabric to create intimacy in large or industrial spaces.
- Wall Draping: Wall draping in various types of materials covers plain walls or things you don’t want to see and adds elegance.
- Ceiling Installations: Hanging greenery, chandeliers, lanterns, floral features.
Tips:
- Always confirm with your venue what ceiling or wall rigging is allowed before booking draping.
- Use draping to soften large wedding venues or make them smaller and to hide unattractive walls in blank canvas venues.
- If budget is limited, focus draping behind the bridal table for maximum impact instead of covering the whole room.
Wedding Dance Floor Hire
- Timber & White Floors: White, Black & White and Black dancefloors are options for traditional weddings.
- Acrylic & Gloss Floors: White or black high gloss and mirrored dancefloors will create a modern look with sleek finishes.
- LED or Light Up Floors: Led light up floors add energy and fun for dancing and are something different.
Tips:
- Choose a dance floor size that matches at least half of your guest numbers, too small feels crowded, too big can look empty.
- Personalised decals (with initials or patterns) are an affordable way to make a simple dance floor feel custom.
- If your venue has carpet, hiring a proper dance floor is a must as it gives guests a clear space to dance, is easier to dance on and photographs much better.
Wedding Ceremony Décor Hire
- Arbours & Arches: Floral arbours, rustic timber frames, modern metal arches.
- Plinths & Pedestals: Wedding Plinths For florals, candles, or feature pieces.
- Aisle Runners: Carpets, acrylic flooring, or floral arrangements along the aisle.
Tips:
- Keep the focus on the backdrop or arbour as this is where the photographer will capture your vows.
- Repurpose ceremony décor (like floral plinths or welcome signs) in the reception to stretch your budget further.
- Think about the weather: Items like candles, petals, and lightweight fabrics can be tricky outdoors in Melbourne’s wind.
Wedding Florals & Greenery Hire (Artificial)
- Table Centrepieces: Greenery Garlands, floral arrangements, single stem features.
- Ceiling & Hanging Installs: Greenery rings, cascading florals, suspended arrangements.
- Backdrops & Walls: Flower walls, greenery panels, custom installations.
Tip: Artificial florals are reusable, budget friendly, and allow for larger installations that fresh flowers often can’t achieve within budget.
Wedding Photo Backdrops & Photo Booth Hire
- Flower Walls: Flower and greenery walls are popular for selfies and guest photos.
- Neon Signs: Neon Signs add a fun statement piece or personalisation for modern weddings.
- Custom Backdrops: Draping, themed props, or personalised designs.
Tips:
- Make sure the backdrop style matches your wedding theme as nothing looks more out of place than a sparkly backdrop at a rustic barn wedding.
- Ask your photo booth provider what’s included (backdrop, props, guest book) before booking.
- Allow enough space in your floor plan for the photo booth especially for 360 booths, which take up more room than expected.
Wedding Stage & AV Equipment Hire
- Staging: Staging Platforms for bands, DJs, Bridal party or speeches.
- Sound Systems: Microphones, speakers, mixers, Dj Gear.
- Screens & Projectors: Projectors For slideshows, videos, or live feeds. Led Screens for wedding that want to take it to the next level.
Tips:
- Always do a sound check with your AV provider before the wedding day or early before the reception or ceremony starts.
- Raise the band, DJ, or guest speakers on a stage so all guests have a clear view.
- If you’re showing slideshows or video, confirm that the venue can dim the lights and has power access where needed.
Wedding Catering & Bar Equipment Hire
- Glassware & Cutlery: Wine glasses, cocktail glasses, knives, forks, spoons.
- Serving Equipment: Platters, chafing dishes, barware.
- Cooking Equipment: Ovens, BBQs, hot plates, bain-maries.
Tips:
- Don’t underestimate how much glassware and cutlery you’ll need and always order extras to cover breakages and resets.
- Make sure you have enough refrigeration and hot holding equipment if catering at home.
- Coordinate with your caterer to confirm exactly what equipment they will bring vs what you need to hire.
Wedding Table Décor Hire
- Table Linen: Napkins, Table cloths, Table Runners, Table overlays, Chair Covers
- Table Centrepieces: Faux Floral centrepieces, Themed Centrepieces, candles, mirror bases, table stands
- Table Numbers: Acrylic table numbers, table number stands
Tips:
- Keep your venue layout in mind. Long tables need narrow or low profile centrepieces so guests can talk easily. Round tables can handle taller features without blocking sightlines.
- Check what’s included with your venue. Some venues supply basic table linen, but the colour or quality might not match your look. Ask early so you only hire what you actually need.
Wedding Entrance Décor Hire
- Easels & Signage Stands: Easels in timber or metal, metal signage frames.
- Plinths & Pedestals: For artificial flowers to sit on or candles.
- Artificial Floral Arrangements: Large or small depending on your budget and the impact you want to make.
Tips:
- Think about the first impression. Your entrance sets the tone for the rest of the wedding. Focus your hire budget here if you want instant impact without over-decorating the entire venue.
- Check venue access and doorway width. Larger plinths or floral arrangements may not fit through tight entryways or lifts. Confirm measurements before booking delivery.
- Plan for weather if outdoors. Melbourne wind can knock over lightweight stands or plinths. Ask for weighted bases or request your hire company to secure them properly during setup.
Themed Wedding Décor Hire
Not all wedding go with the traditional wedding décor and some couples like to make it more fun and unique. Choosing an actual theme like circus, Hollywood, winter wonderland or disco and can make your wedding more memorable.
- Large Themed Props: Themed Props like animals or themed backdrops to suit your chosen theme.
- Inflatable Props: Make for quicker setup with big impact.
- Themed Table Centrepieces: Centrepieces that match your theme like a disco ball for disco or glam theme.
Tips:
- Decide on your theme early. Themed props and backdrops often need more setup time and crew. Locking in your theme early helps your hire company plan logistics and reserve key pieces.
- Balance themed décor with practical layout. Large props or inflatables can take up more floor space than expected. Check your floor plan so they don’t block guest flow or catering areas.
- Mix statement pieces with simple décor. One or two bold themed elements like a large disco ball or circus backdrop can create atmosphere without overloading the room or stretching your budget.
Outdoor Wedding & Event Hire
- Marquees: Essential for at home or outdoor garden weddings.
- Umbrellas: Shade for garden ceremonies or cocktail areas.
- Heaters & Fans: Comfort for guests depending on Melbourne’s weather.
- Generators: Power backup for lighting, AV, and catering.
- Picket Fencing & Flooring: Defines spaces and makes outdoor areas practical.
- Cool Rooms: A must for summer weddings in Melbourne.
Tips:
- Always have a backup plan or plan B for Melbourne’s weather with marquees, umbrellas, and heaters & fans. It is important to book all these things early especially in the peak wedding season October to April.
- Walk through your outdoor space and consider flooring, picket fencing, paths, or temporary flooring can make the space safer and more comfortable for guests.
- Hire a generator if your wedding is in a park, garden, or private property without reliable power.
How to Choose Décor Based on Venue Type: Melbourne
Every Melbourne wedding venue has its own challenges when it comes to décor hire. Access, rigging restrictions, and layout can all affect what’s possible. Before you book your hire items, it’s important to think about how your venue type will shape what you can (and can’t) do.
Heritage Venues
E.g. Rippon Lea Estate, Weeibee Mansion, Quat Quatta
Heritage venues are beautiful, but usually have strict styling and rigging restrictions to protect the building.
Expect limits on ceiling installs, wall fixings, what goes on the floor and even open flame candles.
What to Hire:
- Freestanding décor such as plinths, arbours, and backdrops that don’t touch walls or ceilings
- Mood lighting to highlight architecture without damage
- Elegant furniture and linen upgrades to match the classic style
What to Avoid:
- Heavy rigged ceiling installs or wall mounted décor
- Adhesive signage or hanging features
Tip: Always confirm what can be attached, taped, or suspended before booking. Heritage venues often require hire companies to use non marking tape or supply proof of insurance.
Warehouse & Industrial Venues
E.g. The Timber Yard, The Wool Mill, Half Acre
These blank canvas spaces are more popular in Melbourne but usually need a lot more hire décor to create warmth and atmosphere. You’re effectively building your venue from scratch.
What to Hire:
- Large statement décor such as ceiling draping, festoon lighting, or greenery installs
- Dance floors to define the party area
- Lounge furniture and rugs to soften the space
- Lighting to fill the height and add warmth to concrete or brick walls
What to Avoid:
- Small decorative pieces that get lost in big open rooms
- Overly traditional décor that clashes with the industrial aesthetic
Tip: These venues often have generous bump in times and ceiling rigging points, which makes them ideal for more complex setups.
Garden & Outdoor Weddings
E.g. Royal Botanic Gardens, Mornington Peninsula Wineries, Private Estates
Outdoor weddings look amazing but come with weather and access challenges. You’ll need hire décor that’s durable, stable, and can handle Melbourne’s unpredictable conditions.
What to Hire:
- Marquees, umbrellas, heaters, and fans for comfort
- Arbours and plinths with weighted bases
- Outdoor lighting like festoon and fairy lights for evening events
- Timber or acrylic dance floors to create solid ground for dancing
What to Avoid:
- Lightweight fabric draping or petals that can blow away
- Décor without solid bases (wind is always a factor)
Tip: Book weather protection items like marquees early (especially from October–April). They’re the first to sell out in Melbourne’s peak wedding season.
Ballroom & Hotel Venues
E.g. Crown, Plaza Ballroom, Sofitel, San Remo Ballroom
Ballrooms are polished but often feel too large or formal without extra décor. They typically have professional lighting and AV, but limited flexibility on what can be installed.
What to Hire:
- Dance floors to personalise the space and hide patterned carpet
- Bridal table décor and backdrop walls for photos
- Elegant draping to soften tall walls or frame the room
- Statement centrepieces to suit the scale of the space
What to Avoid:
- Small scale décor that disappears in large rooms
- Ceiling installs without checking regulations, hotels often require licensed installers
Tip: Because these venues usually have strict bump in and pack down times, full-service hire is essential. DIY setups rarely fit within hotel timeframes.
Private Home & Backyard Weddings
At home Melbourne weddings are intimate but need the most practical décor hire because you’re working with a raw space. Everything from flooring, to power, to lighting, usually needs to be brought in or at least thought of.
What to Hire:
- Marquee or clear roof structure for weather cover
- Portable bars, tables, chairs, and catering equipment
- Dance floor, lighting, and generators for power supply
- Lounge areas and styling décor to define spaces
What to Avoid:
- Underestimating how much setup time or space you’ll need
- Forgetting essentials like waste bins, outdoor heating, or floor protection
Tip: Backyard weddings in Melbourne’s inner suburbs often have tight driveways and limited truck access, so provide clear measurements and photos when getting a quote.
What Books Out First In Melbourne During Peak Season
When you’re planning a wedding in Melbourne, especially between October and April, certain décor items tend to get snapped up early. These are the pieces that couples often assume will be available until they find out too late they’re not. Here’s what to lock in early.
Dance Floors & Custom Flooring
White or gloss finish dance floors are one of the first to go. Why? They take up large space, need extra crew, and often require custom sizing or finishes. If you want a standout floor (especially for warehouse or outdoor venues) it’s best to book this 6-12 months ahead.
Lounge Furniture & Styling Packages
Stylish lounge pieces (sofas, ottomans, coffee tables) in good condition get rented quickly in Melbourne’s high season. If your reception has a cocktail hour or lounge zone, locking in your furniture hire early ensures you won’t settle for something generic or unavailable.
Draping, Ceiling Installations & Festoon Lighting
Blank canvas venues are popular, but the décor that transforms them like ceiling drapes, festoon lights, and hanging greenery is all labour intensive and requires rigging. These installations demand more time and team, so they’re often booked out early for good weekend slots.
Ceremony Structures (Arbours, Backdrops)
Especially for outdoor weddings or vineyard venues, the ceremony space is a key focal point. Good arbours, backdrops and decorative structures book ahead. If you’re marrying in a sought after location, you’ll want your hire items confirmed well in advance.
Generators, Outdoor Heaters & Weather Protection Items
Outdoor weddings in Melbourne often require weather backup such as heaters in cooler months, lighting for early twilight and dance floor underlay for uneven ground. These support items may be overlooked, but they’re often last to be available in peak seasons.
How to Act Early
- Once you’ve locked your venue and date, send your hire list for best case items.
- Ask your hire company what their “already booked for that date” list looks like.
- If you’re using a weekday or off peak date, you’ll still get great décor pieces, but if it’s a Saturday in November or February you’ll want to move quickly.
- Confirm items in writing, with specs, so you don’t end up with fallback items.
DIY Pickup vs. Full-Service Hire
If you’ve read through how the hire process works, the next decision is whether to manage setup yourself or book a team to handle it. When researching wedding décor hire in Melbourne, you’ll quickly notice that some companies let you collect and return items yourself, while others (like us) offer a full service hire where everything is delivered, installed, and packed down for you.
Both approaches can work, but they suit very different situations.
DIY Pickup Hire
This option means you’re responsible for collecting, transporting, setting up, and returning the items after your wedding. It’s usually suited to simple, low risk décor such as vases, tablecloths, or small props that can fit in a car and don’t require tools or ladders.
Pros:
- Lower upfront cost
- Full creative control over setup
- Works for small or local events where bump-in time is generous
Cons:
- You or your friends have to do the heavy lifting, setup, and pack down
- Transporting large or fragile items can lead to breakage or venue damage
- Late night pack down can be stressful, especially when everyone’s tired
- Venues often limit what can be installed by guests due to insurance and safety
DIY hire can save money if you’re organised, have plenty of time before and after the event, and don’t mind hands-on work. It’s best suited for home-based or informal weddings where logistics are simple.
Full-Service Hire
Full-service hire means the company handles everything from delivery, installation, styling setup, and pack down, so you don’t have to lift a finger.
At Feel Good Events, we only offer full-service hire because most Melbourne venues have tight access windows, strict bump in rules, and limited time for setup and removal. Our team is trained to handle the logistics safely and efficiently so your décor looks exactly as planned.
Pros:
- No stress on you, your family, or bridal party
- Professionally installed décor that’s venue safe and photo ready
- Delivery and pack down handled on schedule, even late at night
- Damage risk and venue compliance are fully managed
- Ideal for larger weddings, tight schedules, and complex setups
Cons:
- Higher cost than DIY due to delivery and labour
- Must be booked early during Melbourne’s peak wedding season
Which Option is Right for You?
If you’re hiring a few small decorative items and have time to set up the day before, DIY pickup can make sense.
But if you want a professional finish, are using larger décor pieces, or your venue has limited bump in time, full service hire is the safer and more practical choice.
Think of it this way: DIY hire saves money; full service hire saves stress. The main question to ask yourself is do you want to be working at your wedding, or enjoying it?
Logistics Mistakes to Avoid when Hiring Décor in Melbourne
Even the most organised wedding couples get caught out by logistics. Melbourne venues all operate differently, and small oversights can create big headaches on the day. Here are the most common hire related mistakes to avoid so your setup runs smoothly and nothing gets missed.
Booking Décor Before Checking Venue Access
Every venue has different bump in and pack down rules, and these directly affect what décor you can hire.
Some allow setup the day before, others give you as little as one hour. If you hire more items than can be installed in the window, you’ll either pay extra for more crew or end up cutting back last minute. This is probable the number 1 mistake most couples make and usually leads to a lot of disappointment last minute.
Tip: Always confirm your venue’s access times before finalising your décor list.
Ignoring Parking and Loading Zones
Inner city Melbourne venues and hotels often have tight loading docks, limited parking, or stair only access.
These factors can add time and labour costs or restrict what can be delivered. A truck can’t double park in the CBD, and long hallways or lifts add setup time.
Tip: Ask your venue where suppliers can park or unload and share this with your hire company early.
Forgetting About Pack Down Requirements
Most Melbourne venues require everything removed the same night, sometimes immediately after the last song. Couples often underestimate how long pack down takes, or assume it can happen the next morning.
Tip: Confirm your venue’s bump out deadline and whether overnight storage or next day pickup is allowed. This one detail can save hundreds in late night labour costs.
Not Accounting for Power or Lighting Needs
Outdoor or marquee weddings often forget about power supply. Lighting, sound, and catering equipment all draw power, and a single circuit usually won’t handle it.
Tip: Hire generators rated for event use and confirm power access points with your venue or caterer. Don’t assume the venue provides them.
Skipping a Venue Site Walk-Through
If you haven’t seen your venue in person (or only visited when empty), you might miss details like uneven flooring, ceiling height limits, or no hanging points. These details matter for dance floors, draping, and lighting installs.
Tip: Do a quick walk through with your hire company or send photos and floor plans so they can assess access and setup needs accurately.
Leaving Hire to the Last Minute
Don’t assume wedding hire items are always available. Popular décor books early in Melbourne’s peak wedding season. Lock in key items like dance floors, furniture, lighting and draping 6–12 months in advance to avoid disappointment.
Lock in décor 6–12 months ahead for Saturday weddings or anything in spring and summer. You can finalise quantities later, but reserve the key pieces early.
Not Allowing Enough Setup Crew
If you choose DIY pickup or have family setting up décor, make sure you have enough people (and time). Large setups like draping, lighting, or backdrops can’t be done safely or quickly without experience.
Tip: Ask your hire company how long installation normally takes. Underestimating setup time is one of the biggest reasons weddings run behind.
Most décor problems aren’t about styling decisions, they’re about timing, access, and preparation. A short conversation with your venue and hire company early on will prevent 90% of these issues and make your day smoother, safer, and far less stressful.

Melbourne Wedding Décor Hire FAQs
How far in advance should I book wedding décor hire?
We recommend booking at least 6–12 months before your wedding, especially for peak dates and popular items like arbours, lounges, or dance floors. If your wedding is sooner, it’s still worth contacting us as we can often work within shorter timelines depending on product availability.
Do you deliver and set up the décor?
Yes. At Feel Good Events we provide a full-service hire option that includes delivery, setup, and pack down. Unlike DIY hire, you don’t need to worry about logistics on the day as our team handles it all.
What happens if something gets damaged or broken?
Most hire companies, including Feel Good Events, charge a small damage waiver fee with your booking. This covers general wear and tear on the hire equipment. Significant damage or loss may incur extra costs, but our team will explain everything upfront so there are no surprises.
Is there a minimum spend for wedding décor hire?
Yes, our minimum spend for décor hire is $500 not including damage waiver or delivery costs as these are extra. Most weddings, however, spend anywhere from $5,000–$30,000 depending on the wedding size and style.
Can I hire décor and set it up myself?
Some hire companies allow DIY pickup, but Feel Good Events specialises in full-service hire only. This ensures the décor is handled, transported, and installed correctly, protecting both the items and your venue.
Can you customise décor to match my wedding theme or colours?
Absolutely. We can adapt lighting, florals, linens, signage, and props to suit your colour palette and style. Whether you want modern luxe, rustic, boho, or classic elegance, our hire range has options to suit.
Do you offer fresh flowers as part of hire?
Yes, we provide both fresh and artificial flowers. Many couples choose a combination of fresh for bouquets and feature arrangements and artificial for large installations or backdrops. Artificial is a lot more cost effective and will mean less things to worry about on the day and during installation.
What if my wedding is outdoors? Do you provide practical items like marquees or heaters?
Yes. We can supply outdoor hire such as marquees, umbrellas, heaters, picket fencing, and even generators for power. Melbourne’s weather is unpredictable, so having these practical items hired in advance gives you peace of mind.
What if my venue has strict setup times?
This is very common. Our team is experienced in working with tight bump in and pack down schedules across Melbourne venues. We’ll design your hire package around what’s practical within your venue’s timeframe and restrictions.
Can I see the décor before I hire it?
Yes, you can view many of our hire products on our hire website www.feelgoodevents.com.au. We can also provide photos from real weddings we’ve styled so you can see how the décor looks in action.
Do you handle setup in regional Victoria?
Yes, we regularly provide décor hire and setup services across regional Victoria, including the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, the Dandenong Ranges, and surrounding areas.
Are there extra feels to travel to regional Victoria?
Travel fees apply based on distance, truck access, and staff travel time, but our full service hire team can manage delivery, setup, and pack down anywhere with reasonable access.
If your venue is outside metropolitan Melbourne, let us know early so we can plan logistics and confirm travel costs in your quote.
Can you coordinate with other suppliers or my wedding planner?
Absolutely. We often work alongside planners, florists, caterers, and entertainment suppliers to make sure setup runs smoothly and everyone’s working to the same timeline. If you already have a planner or stylist, we can liaise directly with them to confirm access times, power requirements, and décor layout.
If you don’t have one, our team can also provide basic coordination support as part of your full service hire to ensure all décor and hire elements fit seamlessly with your other suppliers.
