By Ben Kennedy Oct 23, 2023
Preparing for parties costs a pretty penny. As Australia's cost of living rises, people are searching for new ways to host high-end events without paying high prices.
The problem with buying all of your party equipment is that it costs a small fortune. Plus, once the party is over, you’ve got dozens of items that you no longer need. Those wedding chairs and dance floor lights you purchased were brilliant for your big day. But now they’re taking up space and collecting dust in your garage!
You wouldn’t buy a beachfront villa to spend a weekend in the sun, so why pay premium prices for party equipment you’re only going to use once?

And once the party’s over, we’ll pick up all the hired products on your behalf. That’s a win for you and a big win for sustainability!
Don’t let price tags get in the way of your big night. Gecko’s event hire gets the party fired up without burning a hole in your pocket. In this article, I will explore fifty things you can rent on Gecko today that will make your next event one to remember. Let’s get this party started!
