Wedding Ceremony Hire Perth

Planning a wedding ceremony  involves countless decisions, from choosing the perfect venue to selecting the right decor. One crucial aspect that sets the tone for your special day is the wedding ceremony setup. To help you create a magical atmosphere and bring your vision to life, Perth Party Hire offers a wide range of wedding ceremony hire equipment.

 

The White Wedding at Home

Weddings are always a fun and glam event; when planning a white wedding at home, we want it to be an easy and stress-free event. After all, why arrange to plan a wedding at home without reaping the benefits.

For starters hosting a wedding in your backyard can help reduce your wedding budget, not to mention most people, including the wedding couple, will feel more comfortable with their surroundings. There are no time limits like being in a hall or at a restaurant where everything needs to run on time. Let’s face it, theoretically speaking is a more relaxing option.

How to Plan a Wedding at Home

This is where our team at Perth Party Hire shine. Not only do we have a variety of products for your white wedding at home for hire, but we can also assist you with transporting goods and providing professional staff to help out on the day. Whether it be expert advice, help setting up, or professional waiters.

We can help with hiring a marquee, down to the finer things like what glassware pairs with what drinks.
To begin with, once you have acquired space and designed a rough layout out of where to settle your ceremony and reception, then you can commence the hiring of the furnishings to make your wedding complete.

The invites are out, and you will know the number of guests, so it’s time to start looking at your layout and the essentials needed on the night.

What to Hire for a White Wedding at Home.

First things first, taking care of the grandeur details. These are the things that you will need as a base for the night. Shelter such as a marquee or indoor area to host the ceremony.

Furnishings include wedding tables, wedding chairs, a dance floor for hire, and a cake table or stand for the wedding cake. Complete your event with some outdoor seating areas for guests these can include our chillout wicker lounges and our popular Hampton style table and chair sets.

It is good to also think about food and drink stations, so hiring a popup bar can be a super handy way to provide refreshments for wedding guests.

Lights are required for the evening and while on the dance floor and to set the scene outdoors. A professional range of lighting options can be hired via our website, and we can help you set these up on the day.

Planning on hosting the ceremony at home? Then you’ll need an aisle to walk down. Set up a white carpet and a few benches for guests to sit on in the backyard.

A beautifully decorated arbor for the ceremony, a small table with two chairs to sign the final documents, and a microphone for the celebrant is on the essentials list.

You can consider a musician to play soft sounds in the background or delegate your best mate to help with the accompanying music for the ceremony. Of course, you can have some of our catering staff serve guests nibbles and drinks after the ceremony.

Kids dance party ideas

If you are planning a kids birthday dance party for a 4 to 9-year-old, let’s face it the pressure is on for it to be a hit.

Begin with adding a bit of glitter to your invites to set the tone. Have a dress code or make it themed, like a white party or ask kids to dress as their favourite musician.

You’ll need a backyard or a bit of space to host the party such as a garage or basement. An idea would be to create a cozy kid’s karaoke corner with a lounge area to start the night. Include disco dress-up props like wigs, big plastic sunglasses, microphones, and mustaches. Here you can also have a photo booth set up.

Jungle party food & Entertainment

A jungle theme for your kid’s party can turn your house into a scene out of Jumanji. So, arranging the kid’s jungle party food will be just as adventurous.

The little explorers will need something to keep them entertained, occupied and fuelled up for taking on their great expedition into the unknown. Kids jungle party food can be a fun and creative way to get people talking.

Creating an atmosphere with props such as trees and animals will tempt the little explorers to start climbing. Before you end up with a house full of tiny Tarzan’s, below are a few things you can distract them with.

Rumble in the Jungle

Any of the standard party games will work perfectly such as a treasure hunt for example. For most games just calling them something jungly will work fine.

Some can easily have props changed to make pin the tail on the tiger or pass the parcel wrapping up the gifts with large “leaves”  or try coconut bowling. For the bravest explorers, there is always ‘gator wrestling! Ball pools are always fun and with the addition of “deadly” crocs or gators. It’s the only time you’ll be keen to have the kids going anywhere near these fierce creatures.

Winter House Party Essentials

Instead of venturing out into the cold, plan your next Winter house party at home with all the party essentials. As well as being a safer option, it is also a great way to enjoy the company of friends and family. Whether you are hiring out space at a local club or hosting it at home, Perth Party Hire has your Winter essential party items list. If you are planning a 21st birthday, 50th, baby shower or engagement, these are the things you will need to make your party a success. 


Map out Your Entertainment Area

 If you are planning a backyard outdoor Winter party or event, it’s always good to map out the area. We suggest creating a comfy sitting space for guests. Hiring out a few of our cosy ottomans, pallet table, benches for hire or table and chair set options.

Add colour and style with one of our many rugs, cushions or better yet, create a feature wall with our Mesh wire backdrop for hire. Decorate it with beautiful fresh florals or balloons so it is Instagram worthy.

Lighting is a must for evening parties and we have a large range of lights for hire. From disco to fairy, festoon lights and lanterns. Hire one of our bar products and set up a serving station for guests with food or drinks.


Keep Warm

Winter nights can get chilly in Perth, so if your Winter house party is outdoors, you’ll want to consider a few things. A Fire pit or gas heater should be part of your Winter essential party items. They not only add flair to your event, they will be appreciated by everyone when the temperature drops. Of course, wine and alcoholic beverages also help! So, you may need a few drink tubs, ice buckets or eskies to store your supplies. A marquee is a perfect idea for creating cover and warmth, especially for those rainy days. Last but not least, ensure you have enough hot drinks to go around. We have you covered with our coffee percolator which caters for up to 100 cups, or our 8 litre Urn for those who prefer tea as well.


Decorate the Table

Here is where you can get creative and have some fun decorating your table setting. If you require tables, we have a range for hire, in kids table sizes too. You’ll need to put thought into cutlery, glassware, table cloths, and other decorative items. Things such as candelabra’s or vases are great for decorating table settings. Add coloured serviettes, crockery and maybe even handmade place settings for each guest. Check out our Party Hire Pinterest page for more inspiration.


Serve up a Feast

Our Buffet tables, serving trays and dishes and boards will help you serve up a feast. We hire a range of catering equipment from food service to electrical goods. There is a range of items to use for cooking and keeping food warm. From BBQ’s to Bain Marie’s leaving you to cook up a storm for your Winter house party.

Make your Winter House Party easier

Parties are so much fun, however, we know they can be hard work. Make it easier by checking out our many miscellaneous items. These are normally things you find you may need last minute, like an extension cord, drinks cart, flat bed trolley or P.A system and microphone. For a full range of useful party items check out our miscellaneous goods for hire online.

There you have it, just a few Winter house party essentials you may need. For more party style inspiration ideas check out our styled party options. Don’t forget you can hire as little or as much you like.

How to Celebrate an Aussie Christmas

Celebrating an Australian Christmas is very different to the classic white Christmas depicted everywhere. An Aussie Christmas is celebrated in sometimes sweltering conditions where most of our food & drinks are served cold. We look at some ways how to embrace an Aussie Christmas, from decorating to table settings.

Far from the traditional European or American Christmas, our Christmas Day is truly a hot one. Cranking the air-conditioning, recovering under a shaded tree, or heading to the beach for a dip are all part of our Christmas day festivities.

A great way to decorate is to encourage our surroundings by bringing it indoors. We have an abundance of beautiful wild flowers and foliage in our own backyard. Instead of investing in artificial decorations, why not keep them natural?

Did you know Australia has its own Christmas tree? The West Australian Christmas tree is golden yellow in colour and comes from the Mistletoe family.

If you are planning a family get together, hosting a kids Christmas party or simply firing up the BBQ with a few friends this Christmas, here are some simple and easy styling tips.

Decorating your Aussie Christmas table

Keep your Aussie Christmas more authentic using natural earthy tones, like native grey-green colours with pops of red, silver or gold.
Australian native flowers are perfect for decorating your table settings, making a wreath or decorating your place settings with detailed name tags.
Wild green leafy foliage like Eucalyptus leaves mixed in with white washed foliage can be a great start. Add in your favourite Wattles, Proteas or Gum nuts for texture and colour to  a unique bouquet.

These arrangements can be displayed in one of our many vase options from crystal glassware to porcelain. Simply lay them flat onto one of our many table clothes create a wreath or decoration around each table placement. Get creative, try spraying gum nuts in a beautiful metallic colour.
Decorate with coloured serviettes, elegant crockery like our Wedgwood or Renaissance dinnerware and paired it with one of our classic cutlery sets. Our range of drinking crystal glassware and silver serving trays will spice up your presentation.

Style your table with small round bud vases. Fill them with a few stems of miniature native flowers. Decorate twigs in a large cylinder vase.  Hire a crystal bowl or punch set and fill it with sweets or candy.
Speaking of treats don’t forget the little ones.

How to kit out your Child’s Jungle Party Theme

Have you ever considered holding a jungle soiree? It’s all the rage… for kids!

Well, read on for more tips and tricks for how to kit your child’s jungle party.

A proper jungle party will surround you and your small guests with tropical trees, plants and more exotic animals than you can shake a banana at. Lions, tigers, monkeys, snakes, elephants, parrots, and crocodiles.

A jungle party is wonderfully flexible. You can include nearly all your kid’s favourite animals, even if they are not strictly from the jungle. Giraffes, rhinos, and zebras pop up all the time despite being savanna dwellers. Whales might be a problem, but here’s the secret: the kids won’t care… they will be too busy getting wowed by all the foliage and tigers.
It’s also easy to make it wonderfully immersive in a different way to other party themes.

Animals and trees surrounding you will feel as if you’ve brought the jungle into your lounge.

That might sound a bit difficult to pull off, but it’s only as complex as you want it to be.

Creating a Victorian Style Wedding

Pulling off the perfect Victorian style wedding is all about moulding traditional elements with modern designs and features. We’ve put together a basic guide to help you get the fundamentals right when planning an unforgettable Victorian wedding.

GARDEN PARTY STYLE

What is a garden style party?

The glorious thing about a garden style party is the sky really is the limit here, as a garden party can be anything you desire. Here in Perth we are blessed with sunny weather for most of the year, so this is the ideal city to take your celebrations outdoors. Garden parties are those that happen outside, whether it be in your backyard, a public park, national park, large garden or any other outdoor area, and are typically held in the afternoon to take advantage of the natural light and sunshine. More than just a backyard barbeque, garden style parties are a popular choice when a celebration calls for that little bit of extra pizazz.

What type of party is suited to garden style?

Given the versatility of this party style, garden parties are very well suited to a range of different occasions. A lovely outdoor garden party is perfect for baby showers, engagement parties, birthdays, wedding receptions, anniversaries, hen’s days and bridal showers. A garden party can be as informal or as formal as you like and is especially ideal for casual celebrations where guests can feel comfortable enough to kick back, take their shoes off and relax. Garden parties are also great for children, as they are free to run around and make plenty of noise without the restrictions of the indoors. If you want your guests to enjoy the outdoor breeze, natural environment and sunset views, a garden party is where it’s at.

Elements of a garden style party

The fabulous thing about garden parties is the world really is your oyster when it comes to how you style and design your celebration. Garden parties can be themed, laid back or fancy, so there really is no typical style that’s used. Popular elements of modern garden parties include flowers, bunting, outdoor furniture, benches, cushions, platters, drink stations, marquees, tablecloths, ice tubs, outdoor bars and much more. There’s plenty of room to add your own DIY touches, while all necessary equipment is also available for hire.

At Perth Party Hire, we love garden style parties and helping our customers bring their dream garden party to life. You can check out our amazing garden party photo gallery for an idea of the kind of garden style party we can help you create and we’re on hand to answer any questions you may have.

How to create the perfect boho style party

Boho chic has become one of the most Pinterest worthy party themes, and a quick Google search will quickly lead you down the rabbit hole of whimsical bohemian soirees filled with rustic wooden furniture, vintage rugs, patterned throw cushions and twinkling lanterns. You’ll swoon as you scroll through boho style party ideas – but looking at dreamy images is one thing, while putting the style into practice is a whole different kettle of fish. The boho look is all about effortlessness, but it actually takes a lot of effort to get it right. If you want to create the perfect boho style party, we’ve got some tips to pull it off with flying colours.

What exactly is a boho style party?

Boho (short for bohemian) is all about combining vintage, hippie and ethnic-inspired items with earthy tones and elements of nature. The boho style celebrates free spiritedness and conjures up a charming old world feeling, with a focus on natural beauty. Given the eclectic and vintage inspired aesthetic, boho styled parties and weddings have become hugely popular in recent years as they allow plenty of room for DIY touches and can therefore be very budget friendly.

What type of party is suited to boho style?

Boho styled parties are incredibly versatile and the boho theme can work with a wide range of party types. The boho style has a distinctively feminine edge, so boho parties are often favoured for hen’s parties, baby showers and bridal showers, but they’re also incredibly popular for casual wedding receptions, engagement parties and birthday celebrations. There’s really no party that won’t work with a boho theme, so the sky’s the limit.

Elements of a boho style party

One of the great things about a boho themed party is you can really make the style your own by putting your own spin on things. You might have some incredible vintage items you want to include or engage your creative side to make some boho inspired decorations of your own. A typical boho style party can include items like rustic wooden furniture, native flowers, bunting, fairy lights, dreamcatchers and other vintage items.

Ideas for hosting a baby reveal party

What is a baby reveal party?

Baby reveal parties (also known as gender reveal parties) have become a popular alternative to the more traditional baby shower and are very on trend at the moment. Whereas the classic baby shower is usually a space reserved exclusively for women and children, gender reveal parties involve men, women and children of all ages. The purpose of a baby reveal party is for guests to guess the sex of an unborn baby via a series of fun activities, before the gender is revealed and celebration ensues. On some occasions, the parents of the unborn baby also don’t know the sex of the baby and receive the same surprising news at the same time as their guests.

What type of party should I have for a gender reveal party?

Given that most baby reveal parties involve a series of games and activities, an outdoor garden party is the most popular option. However, depending on the weather or availability of suitable venues, baby reveal parties can also be hosted from your lounge room, dining room, or by hiring a space at a cute café, pub or restaurant. Parents have full creative freedom to use a party style that suits their preferences and the needs of their guests. Gender reveal parties can be as intimate or as large as you desire.

Elements of a baby reveal party

The main purpose of a baby reveal party is to unveil the baby’s gender. People are coming up with all kinds of exciting and inventive ways to reveal this, include filling the inside of a cake with either pink of blue cream, filling a piñata or balloon with pink or blue confetti, unleashing coloured powder bombs, spraying water guns filled with blue or pink paint, and so on. If you’re a parent who is discovering the gender of your baby for the first time at your own baby reveal party, remember you will need to hire or appoint a host responsible for creating the reveal element for you, so you can enjoy the surprise.

Other than the gender reveal element, the typical baby reveal party includes food, drinks and games. These are usually quite casual affairs, so hosts have full reign to create a party that suits their personal tastes. We love the use of cute props, adorable snack bar set ups, drink dispensers, tablecloths and tasteful decorations for baby reveal parties that are relaxed, stylish and embody the magic of this exciting time.

Indian Dinner Party Theme

Whether you have guests in town and you’re looking to impress them with a stellar welcome dinner, new neighbours you’d like to introduce to the neighbourhood supper club or are just an avid socialiser who loves the role as “hostess with the mostess”, throwing a themed dinner party is always a great idea. We should know!

Not sure where to begin with the planning process? Follow our three-step ‘recipe’ for success and we’ll get you hosting in no time.

1. Choose an unforgettable dinner party theme

Your theme can be inspired by just about anything; colours, holidays, places, cultures, and eras in time to name a few. Embrace your inner Picasso and put your pen, and ideas, to paper. Dinner parties are the perfect time to make your creative vision into a reality.

This time around, we’ve gone ahead and already made the hard decision for you. Your next supper club inspiration: An Indian Dinner Party!

2. Surprise and delight guests with an extraordinary party atmosphere

When hosting a dinner party, you’re inviting people to share stories, make new memories and celebrate food in the comfort of the environment you create.

Styling your dinner party is the perfect time to take risks and recreate that party theme you’ve been eyeing for months. It’s your opportunity to build an environment that radiates that “feeling” you want guests to walk away with after being in good company, wining and dining with you.

How often do you enjoy Indian cuisine in the setting of a garden party? We took our Indian Supper theme but decided to give it a twist. We wanted guests to walk away feeling inspired to shake up their everyday routine, so we decided to mirror that sentiment by pairing an Indian dinner with a garden boho party theme – low picnic tables, cushions, rugs, and greenery included.

3. Entice guests with impressive dinner presentation

First things first, pick your dinner of choice. Next, find your crockery at home or hire from us, and then map out how you would like to set your table. Follow these steps in this order and the inspiration will domino so that each decision is easier than the last.

Indian cuisine is such an easy dinner party pick given the delicious variety offered with every single dish. With so many spices and vibrant flavours used throughout, there is a taste to suit everyone. Unfortunately, this doesn’t make choosing the specific dishes you want any easier!

Luckily, Royal India has given us access to their Butter Chicken family recipe. This means all you talented chefs can whip up the dish yourself or cheekily order food for your dinner party as take away before guests arrive.

Here’s how you’re going to want to dish up your Indian dinner in style.

Think lavish silver dishes decorating the length of the table, an enticing display of naan served on various bread cutting boards, large Indian serving bowls of butter chicken and Indian serving dishes filled with sauces galore.

An Indian supper, in our eyes, is an elaborate display of colours and textures seen in both the food and crockery; enticing guests to sit-down, relax and feast!
