Planning a successful event requires attention to detail and the right equipment. Whether you're organizing a corporate gathering, wedding, or community festival, event equipment rental can make your job so much easier and more cost-effective. Here's our top event hire equipment recommendations for you:
Marquees and Tents
Protect your guests from the elements with a range of marquees and tents. From small pop-ups to large pavilions, these structures are essential for outdoor events. Consider clear-span tents for an open feel or themed structures for special occasions. Don't forget to rent sidewalls for unexpected weather changes!
Tables and Chairs
While some companies offer a variety of seating options, consider creative alternatives to save on costs. For casual events, ask friends and family to bring folding chairs. For a rustic theme, reach out to local farmers about using hay bales as seating. Community centres or schools might also lend chairs for a nominal fee or donation. Mix and match for an eclectic, charming atmosphere.
Staging and Dance Floors
Create a focal point for performances or dancing with modular staging and portable dance floors. For outdoor events, ensure you rent weather-resistant options. Consider illuminated dance floors for evening events or themed stages for concerts and performances.
Audio-Visual Equipment
Ensure everyone can see and hear with projectors, screens, speakers, and microphones. For events in remote locations, don't forget to rent a generator to power your AV setup. This is crucial for outdoor parties or gatherings far from conventional power sources. A reliable generator will keep your entertainment running smoothly throughout the event.
Lighting
Set the mood with a variety of lighting options, including spotlights, uplighters, and decorative festoon strings. LED options are energy-efficient and can often be programmed for colour changes. Consider renting a lighting technician along with the equipment for complex setups!
Generators
Keep the power flowing at outdoor venues with reliable generators. Calculate your power needs in advance, factoring in all electrical equipment you'll be using. Always rent a generator with slightly more capacity than you think you'll need, just in case.
Heating and Cooling Systems
Maintain a comfortable temperature for your guests with portable heaters or air conditioning units. For outdoor winter events, consider patio heaters or enclosed heated areas. In summer, misting systems can provide relief in addition to AC units.
Crowd Control Equipment
Manage guest flow with barriers, rope and post systems, and signage. For larger events, consider renting security equipment like metal detectors or two-way radios for staff communication. Clear, professional signage can enhance the guest experience and improve event logistics.
When considering event equipment rental, it's important to work with a reputable local company that can provide high-quality items and reliable service (such as Greenplant Limited). We can offer valuable advice on choosing the right equipment for your specific event needs.
Remember to book your event equipment rental well in advance, especially during peak seasons, to ensure availability. With the right equipment, you can create a memorable and successful event for all your guests!
