Stylish Set-Up? Sorted.

From trendy bar tables and cocktail stools to relaxed lounges and elegant dining furniture, Party Hire Group has all the essentials to make your engagement party look and feel incredible, whether you’re hosting at home, in a venue, or under a marquee in the backyard.

Light It Up: Add WOW-Factor Moments

Engagement parties are all about setting the mood and making memories. Add a little extra magic with statement décor that guests will love and your photographer will thank you for.
From vibrant dance floor lighting to warm festoon lights for outdoor and marquee setups, Party Hire Group offers professional lighting hire across Sydney and Melbourne.

  • Neon Signs: Fun, modern and seriously on-trend — neon signs like “Let’s Party”, or “All you need is love” add instant fun-factor to any setting.
  • Glow Furniture: Want to take your party from day to night in style? Add illuminated glow bars, cocktail tables, or benches for a sophisticated, sleek, after-dark vibe.

Comfort, Convenience & Instagram-Worthy Details

No need to stress about logistics — their expert team handles delivery and collection so you can relax and enjoy the celebration.

Myles and Jamie’s Sophisticated and Stylish Home Engagement Party

Myles and Jamie wanted a relaxed engagement party in their backyard around the pool. They didn’t want to spend a fortune with the wedding coming up soon but wanted their party to be extra special. Around 120 people were invited and they self-catered with their mums and family friends bringing dishes.

What made the event appear spectacular was the hiring of key pieces.
