WET WEDDING DAY PLANNING

Rainy Wedding Day Ideas

You’ve woken up to rain on your wedding day. First, allow yourself a few minutes to deal with the understandable disappointment. We get it. A rainy wedding day can feel stressful at first. However, it often creates unexpected beauty and unforgettable moments. Now you’ve allowed yourself a moment, change your mindset. It’s your wedding day and it’s going to be gorgeous, no matter what! You’re marrying the love of your life, and that’s always going to make a perfect day. With the right mindset, you can turn a rainy wedding day into something magical.

No, we’re not going to break into song with Alannis Morrissette! But we are going to encourage you to accept the weather and shift your perspective. Rain symbolises good luck and new beginnings in many cultures. Therefore, it can add deeper meaning to your celebration. Instead of worrying, embrace the atmosphere and stay present.

RAIN OR SHINE WEDDINGS

Your photographer will be happy

Yep! A skilled photographer will be excited about the addition of rain. Sure, it comes with it’s challenges but if the couple has an awesome attitude, the photographer will know it’s an awesome opportunity. Rainy day wedding photos are just fun, full stop. Think brollies, gum boots, moody skies and puddles. The light on rainy days is also more even and can have a unique glow. Trust your photographer and run with their ideas!

Rainy Day Photographer

Always have a back up plan

Of course there will be certain things that are more challenging. For example, your outdoor ceremony. Chat to your local marquee hire about the situation and find out some options. Ask how close in advance you can book. Check different sizes and availability. Reach out to all your vendors and ask for their recommendations and experience regarding the weather. No doubt they have attended a wedding previously at your venue.

Rain On Your Wedding Day

Tell your guests to have fun with it

Instead of their normal shoes, send out a Wet Wedding Update once you’ve settled on your Plan B. Encourage your guests to pick out their favourite gumboots instead of their ‘fancy’ shoes! Suggest a change of clothes in case disaster strikes. Many friends and family will ask how they can help. Save yourself the cost of clear umbrellas and ask if your guests would be so kind as to bring their own clear ( or white or rainbow!) umbrella along.

Rainy Day Wedding

Rainy day wedding gifts

Your defer to Plan B will most likely be close to your wedding day. As part of your back up, purchase some very inexpensive clear ponchos from Temu or Amazon to hand out to guests. It will keep their outfits looking tip top. After all, most people are more comfortable dry than wet in their good clothes! Another very inexpensive idea is a small towel to dry off any damp spots. Find some at Kmart for next to nothing in a rainbow of colours.

Wedding Day Rain

Hot Chocolate Station

Rainy weather always brings out the feels for a hot drink, even in summer. Consider adding a simple hot chocolate station to your day. Guests could make their own hot chocolates using sachets and a urn while you’re off having photos. Add a packet of scotch finger biscuits and Nan will be happy as a clam! Your venue may be able to assist with this idea or ask a trusted family member if they would consider handling things as their gift.

Tea Coffee Station

Be inspired!

Keep those rainy wedding day thoughts positive! Make a Plan B Pinterest board of all your ideas. Watch the movie ‘About Time’ with Rachel McAdams and Domhnall Gleeson – there’s no better rainy day wedding scene! Chat to your wedding party about your plans and get them on board to dream up ideas with you. Last but not least, a wedding day is known as ‘tying the knot’. It’s common knowledge that a wet knot is even stronger!

BLUE MOUNTAIN HOTEL

Marco and India’s late summer wedding day was quite simply a joyful one!

Have you considered not having a bridal party? It’s not something we see frequently however Marco and India rocked it and reminded us why it can be awesome! To get started, can we just a moment for the bride and her awesome wedding gown? India’s absolutely stunning frock paired with her chapel length veil bought such a fun and unique vibe to their wedding. With a gorgeous beaded bodice and satin skirt, it showed off India’s showstopper wedding heels to perfection! The dapper groom was resplendent in his navy three piece suit, with the jacket and tie removed to bring a relaxed feel to their photos.

Marco & India’s Wedding at Blue Mountain Hotel Toowoomba

The moody sky and textured clouds created the perfect backdrop for their formal portraits. With no bridal party to worry about, the photographer can put all their focus into wall-enlargement worthy portraits. And boy did The Finches deliver! The green rolling hills and dramatic sky form the ideal backdrop for the stars of the show.

Guest Cam took care of al the informal snaps (we’re loving the barefoot India cutting the cake!). Marco and India’s guests, many of whom had travelled from Italy, were treated to In the Booth Toowoomba, a lolly bar and a delicious BBQ dinner. It was a wedding day done right.

Our lovely couple took dare to be different to new height with selecting our blue backdrop for their photo booth snaps. Again, it’s not a colour we bring out often for weddings but we absolutely love the bright, happy vibe it bought to their photos. Your booth backdrop can make such a statement to your photo booth memories so don’t ever be afraid to go outside the box!

It was our pleasure to help celebrate your wedding day, Marco and India! Wishing you both every happiness for the years ahead. We hope your wedding photos continue to bring you so much joy in years to come.

EVENT PLANNING TIPS

Wedding Planning Tool Box Tips

Wedding planning can get a bad rap. With the right wedding planning tool kit at your disposal, wedding planning doesn’t have to be the nightmare it’s advertised to be. Granted, being organised definitely helps. However, we live in digital worlds and we are digital girls (or boys!). Let’s get your tool kit set up correctly from the start and you’ll have your co-brides asking you how you make it look so easy!

IN THE BOOTH WEDDINGS

Wedding Planning Tool #1: Wedding Email Address

You are going to receive a lot of information via email. It’s vital that you keep it all in one location or inbox. Either create a specific wedding Gmail for all your wedding enquiries or create a folder in your mail client to keep your wedding emails together. You will save so much time if you’re not madly searching for emails.

Wedding Planning Tool #2: Wedding Email Address

Create an address book or contact list just of your suppliers. In the beginning you can even do this to keep track of enquiries and their responses. We encourage our couples to keep track on how long it takes a company to reply to your initial enquiry. The speed of their reply is a sign of things to come! Create a spreadsheet of your suppliers with their website, contact number and email address once you have made decision and bookings. It will be a life saver as you get closer to your day.

Wedding Planning Tool #3: Trello

Trello is an awesome tool for managing moving parts! Think Pinterest, but like a library. You can store all your wedding links and brochures under topics or ‘boards’. Create contact cards for your suppliers and keep all invoices and information together. Better yet, it can still have a visual component with images and videos. It’s a bride’s planning dream!

Wedding Planning Tool #4: Guest List Spreadsheet

A guest list spreadsheet is going to save your bacon along with your sanity. Create your guest list within a spreadsheet with the following:

  • First name
  • Last name
  • Contact phone
  • Email
  • Street address
  • Suburb
  • State
  • Postcode
  • Dietary

If you’re sending formal invitations in the post, you’re going to need all those details. Need to follow up with a guest on their RSVP? You’ll need those details. If you have to reach someone urgently about a dietary requirement, you guessed it – you’ll need those details! You guest spreadsheet will have a multitude of uses from importing into your wedding website to creating place cards to assisting your venue.

Wedding Planning Tool #5: Wedding Website

This is a big one. Choose a wedding website that also doubles as RSVP management. Look for a service that allows you to upload your guest list and then tracks RSVP’s as they come in. Ask any couple that has recent planned a wedding and we guarantee they’ll say managing RSVP’s was the worst!

Wedding Planning Tool #6: Be Efficient

We know your to-do list is a million miles long but do everything you can to send prompt replies to your suppliers. You’ve employed them to look after the details on one of the most special days of your life. Give them the information they need promptly so they can do their job. Be respectful of deadlines and understanding that set requirements are there for your protection.

Life Sized Cut Out Prop

PHOTO BOOTH PROP

Life Sized Cut Out Prop

If you want your reception to feel unforgettable, add a life sized cut out to your photo booth setup. These bold props instantly grab attention. They spark conversation, create laughter, and give guests something interactive to pose with. Best of all, they just look awesome in photo booth photos!

In the Booth’s 2026 magazine features Brenda and Joel’s wedding as our cover! The highlight? A life sized cut out of Taylor Swift standing proudly beside the booth “Taylor Swift” as a guest at their wedding! Naturally, guests lined up all night to snap photos with “Taylor.” Even better, the cut out matched the couple’s playlist perfectly. As a result, their photo booth gallery felt cohesive, fun, and completely personal.

So, how can you use life sized cut outs at your own wedding? Let’s break it down.

CHECK OUT OUR 2026 MAGAZINE!

Why a Life Sized Cut Out Works So Well

Firstly, they create an instant focal point. When guests walk into your reception, they’ll immediately notice a familiar face. “”Bob, is that you?!” From a celebrity to an overseas guests who unfortunately can’t attend, a life size cut out creates a super fun “guest” of honour.

Secondly, they suit any theme. For example, you might choose a favourite relative, a movie character, or even a custom cut out of your pet. Or put the focus fully on the reason for being there and select an engagement photo of yourselves. Alternatively, go full pop culture and channel Brenda and Joel’s Swifty-inspired celebration.

Additionally, they encourage shy guests to loosen up. Instead of awkward poses, people interact with the cut out. They hug it. They’ll kiss it. They pretend to sing into a microphone beside it. Therefore, your photo booth prints capture genuine personality and so.much.fun.

Finally, they elevate your theme. A life sized cut out adds that perfect point of difference. All your real guests are sure to get a chuckle out of your special guest addition.

DIY: How to Make Your Own Life Sized Cut Out

If you love a hands-on project, you can absolutely create a life sized cut out yourself. Follow these simple steps.

Step 1: Choose Your Image

Select a high-resolution photo. Make sure the subject stands upright and remains fully visible. The clearer the image, the sharper the final result.

Step 2: Remove the Background

Use an online background removal tool or editing software. Carefully refine the edges around hair and clothing. This step makes your cut out look professional.

Step 3: Resize to Life Scale

Adjust the image height to match real-life proportions. Most adults range between 160cm and 185cm tall. Therefore, confirm your measurements before printing.

Step 4: Print in Large Format

Upload your file to a large format printing service. Request thick poster paper or adhesive vinyl. If possible, choose matte finishing to reduce glare in photos.

Step 5: Mount to Foam Board

Adhere the print to sturdy foam board or corflute. Smooth out bubbles as you press it down. Then, trim around the outline carefully using a craft knife.

Step 6: Add Support

Attach a cardboard easel stand to the back. Alternatively, secure a timber brace for extra stability. This ensures the cut out stays upright throughout the reception.

Step 7: Transport and Protect

Wrap the cut out in protective plastic during transport. Once at your venue, position it beside your photo booth with enough space for group shots.

Bringing It All Together

Ultimately, a life sized cut out transforms your photo booth from simple entertainment into a statement feature. The ideal photo booth prop invites creativity and that’s exactly what a life size cut out will do. It encourages interaction. Most importantly, it creates hilarious photos and videos from the booth as well as popping up on Guest Cam.

Brenda and Joel proved that one well-chosen prop can define the night. Their Taylor Swift cut out didn’t just decorate the space. It became part of the celebration. We guarantee their guests are still talking about “her”!

Last but not least, whether you choose a pop icon, a beloved pet, or yourselves in superstar form, don’t underestimate the power of going larger than life with your life sized cut out props!

Branded Photobooth Hire

BRANDED PHOTOBOOTH HIRE

Turn your event into a marketing moment

If you want guests to engage with your brand, you need more than a logo on a pull-up banner. You need an experience. That’s exactly why branded photobooth hire has become a powerful tool for modern marketing campaigns. Instead of handing out flyers that end up in the bin, our booths help create shareable moments people actually want to take part in.

At In the Booth, we transform photo booths into fully customised brand activations. As a result, your audience doesn’t just see your brand — they actually interact with it.

Why Branded Photobooth Hire Works

Firstly, people love taking photos. Secondly, they love sharing them. It’s a match made in marketing heaven. Therefore, when you combine entertainment with branding, you instantly increase exposure.

Branded photobooth hire allows you to place your logo, colours, slogans, and your campaign messaging directly onto instant prints, our touch screen and of course the booth itself. Consequently, every printed strip and every shared image becomes a mini advertisement.

Moreover, guests don’t feel like they are being marketed to. Instead, they feel like they are part of something fun and interactive. That emotional connection strengthens brand recall long after the event ends.

In addition, branded booths create organic reach. When guests share their photos on social media, they amplify your campaign without additional ad spend. So while your activation may last a few hours, its impact can continue for weeks. Our instant prints don’t get thrown out – they’re treasured.

Branded Photo Booth Hire
Branded Photobooth

Custom Branding That Stands Out

At In the Booth, we customise every element of your activation. For example, you can wrap the booth in full vinyl branding to match your campaign visuals. You can also design bespoke print designs that feature your logo and brand message. As a result, your brand remains front and centre from start to finish.

If you are launching a product, you can incorporate campaign messaging directly into the prints. Alternatively, you can use seasonal themes that align with a broader marketing push. Either way, branded photobooth hire keeps your message consistent across every touchpoint.

Most importantly, the experience still feels effortless for your guests. They simply step in, pose, and share and are naturally engaged in the experience because they’re sharing with friends. Meanwhile, your brand gains maximum exposure.

Boost Engagement at Brand Activations

Brand activations need energy. They need movement. Above all, they need interaction. A branded photo booth draws people using all those things!

For instance, at shopping centre promotions, a booth creates a visible focal point. People see others laughing and posing, so they join the queue. As a result, foot traffic increases around your activation space. We’ve all seen those boring stands with equally bored promotion staff. Add a photo booth and boredom vanishes!

Similarly, at corporate events or expos, branded photobooth hire helps you stand out among competitors. Instead of relying on brochures alone, you offer an experience. Consequently, attendees remember your stand long after the event ends.

Additionally, booths encourage repeat engagement. Guests often return for a second or third photo. Each time, they interact with your brand again. That repetition reinforces your message without feeling repetitive – after all, your guests want to be there!

Let our Booth Make Your Brand the Star!

Ultimately, marketing works best when it feels natural. Branded photobooth hire blends entertainment with strategy. Instead of pushing a message into guests’ faces, it’s printed into their waiting hands!

At In the Booth, we help businesses transform ordinary events into memorable brand moments. Whether you are planning a product launch, retail promotion, festival activation, or corporate function, a branded booth always delivers with impact. Instead of hoping they remember, give them an experience we guarantee they won’t forget!

Made Right Here Campaign

Posted on by In the Booth

BUY AUSTRALIAN MADE

Made Right Here Campaign

In the Booth are very proud to be a certified member of Australian Made. Our humble beginnings are like so many other Australian small business stories – it began in a garage! Our first photo booth was designed and built in Brisbane in 2008 and launched to the brand new photo booth hire industry in early 2009.

In an industry where 95% of photo booth equipment is imported from overseas, we’re very proud of our Australian born and bred roots. Photo booth machines were originally built to remain in one place; such as a passport photo location. In the Booth were instrumental in breaking the mould in what photo booths could be and become for the wedding and special event industries.

MADE RIGHT HERE CAMPAIGN
Mrh Licensee Messagea Linkedin Banner 1128x191px Fa

In the Booth proudly celebrates its Australian Made certification while championing the Made Right Here Campaign. This milestone reflects more than compliance. It represents commitment to local craftsmanship, innovation, and community support.

The Australian Made logo carries strong national recognition. Customers trust products displaying the green and gold kangaroo. Therefore, certification strengthens confidence in every In the Booth experience. It assures clients their photo booth technology is genuinely homegrown.

In the Booth designs and manufactures its booths in Brisbane, Australia. The team oversees production from concept to completion. This hands-on approach ensures consistent quality and supports skilled Australian jobs.

Additionally, local manufacturing allows tighter quality control. Technicians test each booth before deployment. Each component of our booths is replaceable, unlike the days of welded steel passport booths. As a result, clients receive reliable, updated equipment at every event.

Australian Owned & Made

The Made Right Here Campaign highlights businesses producing goods on Australian soil. It encourages consumers to support local makers. We’ve always been the company that doesn’t follow trends and does things a little different. We’re fully aware we started an industry where the majority of equipment is now imported. We achieve this simply by listening to Australian customers, not international manufacturers.

Moreover, the campaign showcases transparency in sourcing and production. In the Booth openly shares its manufacturing journey in regards to our Australian Made certification. It differentiates the brand in a competitive and repetitive market. The certification also strengthens partnerships with venues and planners. Industry professionals value Australian Made suppliers in a workspace drowning in Anko, Shein and Temu.

We’re big on investing in other local Australian suppliers for our manufacturing equipment. We love that in turn Australian manufacturing also supports other small Australian business. Local manufacturing fuels ongoing innovation and we can do so without off-shore delays. We trial quickly and when proven, launch rapidly! When you work local there’s no need to wait or pay for offshore delivery.

The service and event industry is not easily outsourced offshore. Until we’re living in a Wall-E style world where celebrations cease to exist in reality, our photo booths have a home. We have real people in our booths each week and we hire real Australians to deliver that experience.

Look for the Australian Made logo or the brand new ‘Made Right Here’ campaign wherever you shop. In the Booth and Australian small business appreciate your support!

Welcome to Bridal Showcase Season!

Posted on by In the Booth
2026 BRIDAL SHOWCASE SCHEDULE

Welcome to 2026!

After a well-earned breather, In the Booth has returned to the office for 2026. Honestly, it feels so good to say that out loud. We took the opportunity to rest up and recharge with our families and now it’s time to jump back in with fresh energy. As a result, we’re kicking off the year ready to connect, create, and celebrate with couples all over again at a busy schedule of Bridal Showcases!

First and foremost, 2026 marks a return to full momentum. We’re back behind the screens answering enquiries and fine-tuning photo booths that got a work out over the busy months. More importantly, we’re stepping into the new year with intention. This is the time we refine our approach so every couple feels supported from first enquiry to their USB folio.

ENQUIRE NOW!

At the same time, we’re thrilled to confirm our attendance at bridal showcase days over the imminent months. These events play a huge role in how we connect with couples, venues, and fellow suppliers. Of course they allow us to showcase our photo booths in person. In addition they also give you the chance to experience the quality, styling, and fun for yourself. In other words, nothing beats seeing it live.

So let’s get this party started!

A bridal showcase is the perfect starting point if you’re newly engaged. You can meet suppliers face-to-face, ask real questions, and compare options in one place. Meanwhile, our venue open days offer something a little different. They allow you to picture your wedding in an actual space while discovering how a photo booth fits seamlessly into the celebration. As a bonus, they’re relaxed, informative, and full of inspiration.

To keep everything simple, we’re sharing all confirmed dates and details via our socials. Therefore, if you’re planning a wedding in 2026 or beyond, we highly recommend following along there on Facebook or Instagram. It’s the easiest way to stay in the loop of where our teams across the country will be popping up.

As we return to the office, we’re also leaning into what we do best: creating memorable, stress-free photo booth experiences. Our focus is on seamless delivery, friendly attendants and prints your guests actually want to keep. Because of that, our booths don’t just entertain — they truly add to the atmosphere and keep the “kids” busy!

Looking ahead, 2026 already feels exciting. Between bridal showcase season and a growing list of bookings, the year is shaping up to be one of our busiest yet. However, we wouldn’t have it any other way. We love being part of your celebrations, and we’re grateful to keep doing what we love.

So, whether you’re just starting to plan or finalising the details, now is the perfect time to reconnect with In the Booth. Follow our Facebook events, come say hello at an expo, and let’s make 2026 one to remember.

Christmas Photobooth 2025

It’s time to wrap up 2025 behind the velvet curtain.

As 2025 comes to a close, there’s something magical about this time of year. Our photo booth flashes faster, our event calendar busts at the seams and the memories feel a little more sparkly. For us, nothing captures that festive joy and breaks the ice quite like a Christmas photobooth.

This year has been filled with incredible events, from corporate end-of-year parties to amazing weddings. Our branded booths have been getting a work out all over the country too. We’ve said it time and time again – we’re a photo booth company, but really we’re a people company. A photo booth without your people is just an empty box. Add your loved ones, work colleagues or anyone from 1 through to 101 and watch the walls come down.

As we wrap up for the year, we want to thank all who welcomed us into their celebrations. Your support of In the Booth has gifted us our sixteenth year in business. We can’t wait to bring even more creativity and joy to your events in the new year.

We’ll be taking a short break over the holiday period to rest, recharge, and prepare for a busy season ahead. We’re looking forward to an awesome 2026 with plenty of new things in the works behind our velvet curtain.

If you’re planning an event for early 2026, now’s the perfect moment to get in touch prior to our closure. Missed the deadline? Don’t worry – send your enquiry on through and we’ll be back to you lickety-split on the 12th of January 2026. We’re excited for what the new year will bring—and we can’t wait to help you create more incredible memories, one little photo booth strip at a time.

Last but not least, wishing you a peaceful, blessed and very merry Christmas to those following the In the Booth story. As a small business, we simply would not be here without your support.

Sirromet Barrell Hall

Brett and Katelyn’s winter wedding at Sirromet Winery was the perfect mix of elegance and fun. Choosing the Barrel Hall as their reception space, the couple celebrated surrounded by the rustic charm of timber wine barrels and warm candlelight. The Hall’s rich textures created an inviting atmosphere that paired beautifully with their seasonal styling. Guests immediately felt the romance of the day while still knowing a lively celebration was ahead.

The ceremony embraced the natural beauty of Sirromet’s estate. After exchanging vows, Brett and Katelyn joined their photographer outdoors to capture timeless images. Because winter light has a soft glow, the photographs among the rows of lavender and the odd wallaby appeared especially magical. The purple blooms contrasted against the cool season sky, giving the couple’s portraits an extra sense of depth and romance. These images highlighted not only the couple’s connection but also the charm of Sirromet’s grounds during the cooler months.

Shaun & Katelyn’s Wedding at Sirromet Mount Cotton

As the evening unfolded, Katelyn made a stylish change. She swapped her flowing wedding gown for a playful reception dress that allowed her to dance with ease. This moment surprised guests and set the tone for the night’s celebrations. Brett, of course, couldn’t stop smiling as his bride twirled across the dance floor in her new look. Moreover, the couple had prepared a fun surprise for their guests—light up foam sticks. As soon as the DJ turned up the music, the sticks lit the Barrel Hall in bursts of glowing colour. Consequently, the dance floor became an energetic and unforgettable highlight of the evening alongside the photo booth of course!

In addition, the winery’s renowned food and wine service ensured every guest enjoyed the reception. Plates of gourmet seasonal dishes paired perfectly with Sirromet’s award-winning wines, creating an experience that blended fine dining with heartfelt celebration. The couple’s attention to detail, from décor to entertainment, meant every moment flowed seamlessly. Brett and Katelyn selected our classic Traditional print style which never ceases to be popular with our classically styled weddings. Our Black Glitter backdrop gives a hint of sparkle without overbearing the guests themselves in the booth.

Ultimately, Brett and Katelyn’s winter wedding showcased exactly why Sirromet Winery is one of Mt Cotton’s most beloved venues. With a ceremony framed by natural beauty, photos among lavender fields, a warm and rustic Barrel Hall reception, and an unforgettable party atmosphere, the day reflected their personalities perfectly. Friends and family left with glowing memories, while the couple began married life surrounded by love, laughter, and some awesome dance moves!

Event Hire Enquiry Tips

We’ve been in the event hire game for a while now, so we’ve seen an enquiry or two! We receive everything from no contact details to no date and everything in between. Your event suppliers are here to help but help us to help you! We want to get you the information you need as quickly as possible. We’ve put together the below tips when it’s time to shoot off some enquiries for your next celebration.

ENQUIRE WITH US NOW!

Leave enough time

Leave enough time for your event hire enquiry to take shape without stress. You’re going to want to enquire with multiple businesses. It will take time to research, plan and narrow down your enquiry list. Then you’ll need to wait for those businesses to get back you. All the while, time is ticking away! Enquiring two weeks before your event date doesn’t mean it can’t be done but it will absolutely raise your stress levels. Special events require designated planning time. Look ahead and decide on your date with plenty of time to spare. Enquire and book early for a stress-free event is our motto!

Event Hire Enquiry

Fill in ALL the enquiry fields

Suppliers design their event hire enquiry forms with those fields for a reason! If they have a field on their enquiry form, it means they need that information to be able to accurately prepare your quote. Some might seem obvious such as the date and location. However your contact details such as your phone number are just as integral. If your email bounces back, how will the supplier contact you to let you know without your phone number? If there’s a comments section, add additional information or ask your list of questions. This will help the supplier save time with providing all the information you need in one handy email.

Event Hire Enquiry

Have a realistic budget

It’s perfectly normal for you to need to make an event hire enquiry before the supplier advises pricing. Every event is different from the location to the timeframe to the specifics. Comments such as “don’t want it to cost an arm and a leg” are not helpful and also not descriptive – for example, what is an arm and a leg worth to you?! Clearly lay out your requirements with your enquiry so the supplier can provide you an accurate and detailed quote. If it’s out of your budget, that’s fine. In every market there is a Ferrari and a Ford Festiva. Each one is perfect for it’s perfect customer. Be respectful of both Ford and Ferrari in your marketplace!

Event Hire Enquiry

Reply – even if it’s a no thank you!

This is a big one and we know our fellow suppliers are cheering from the back! Ghosting your suppliers is immensely frustrating. The majority of wedding and event suppliers are small businesses. Trust us, we’re used to hearing “no”! Any supplier worth their salt and enquiries would rather receive a polite no thank you than nothing at all. The supplier took the time to reply to your enquiry and quote – to thank them in return, just reply to update them on your enquiry status. Whether you’re ready to book straight away or in six months or not at all, just reply with your update. You’ll make a lot of small Australian business owners very happy!

Book early(ish)

There’s lots of bills coming in and budgets to manage, we get it. However booking last minute is just a revisit of enquiring last minute. It adds a lot of stress to both yourself and your suppliers. Your options may now be. more limited because of the shorter timeframe. In short, if you know you’re going to book a supplier, just book them. ‘Waiting it out’ is rarely a good method as you’re also risking the service not being available anymore. Booking early let’s you enjoy the process of planning an event with a professional. You’ll have time to see things in person at a showcase and have fun planning out the smaller details with time on your side.

Complete pre-event details promptly

Your suppliers will be waiting on decisions from you before they can move ahead with preparations. Take special note of any deadlines and be respectful of them. The deadlines exist to care for you and your event. Suppliers will be making special orders and those suppliers have cut offs. Imagine being told you can’t have the flowers of your choice because you simply missed a deadline! Set reminders for yourself to ensure everything is completed pronto. Return supplier calls – trust us, they won’t bother you without good reason! The closer you get to your celebration the less time you will have and that goes for your suppliers as well.
