FAQs
Plan your next event with confidence. Gippsland Events provides marquee and event hire across Gippsland and Melbourne — from weddings and parties to corporate functions. Explore our FAQs to learn about booking times, deposits, collection options and marquee setup.
How far in advance should I book my event hire items?
You can never book too early — but you can leave it too late! We recommend booking your marquee and event hire equipment as soon as your date and location are confirmed. Gippsland Events provides event, wedding and party hire services across Gippsland and Melbourne, and our calendar fills quickly, especially during peak seasons.
Can I make changes to my order after booking?
Yes! Once you’ve placed your order, you can adjust quantities or add items up to one week prior to your event. We understand event plans can evolve, and our team is happy to help you finalise your hire list so everything runs smoothly on the day.
How do I confirm my booking?
To secure your booking, a 30% deposit is required, with the remaining balance due 7 days before delivery. This ensures your marquee and hire equipment are reserved exclusively for your event date.
Can I pick up hire items from your warehouse?
For safety and quality reasons, all marquee installations are handled by our professional team. They’re built to withstand Victorian and especially Gippsland’s changing weather conditions and must be set up and dismantled correctly.
Smaller hire items such as tables, chairs, or accessories can be collected from our warehouse by arrangement — please note we don’t operate a public showroom, so all collections need to be pre-booked.
Can your marquees be set up on any surface?
Absolutely. Our event marquees can be safely installed on almost any surface — including grass, asphalt, gravel, or concrete. We use a combination of pegging, bolting, or water/concrete weights to secure each structure. Our experienced team will assess your site and choose the most suitable installation method.
