Event Hire Services

What Event Hire Services does

Event Hire Services (EHS) is an Australian event hire company founded in 2013 by Barrie, Paul, and Scott, headquartered in Frenchs Forest (Northern Beaches, Sydney), NSW. The company rents contemporary event furniture, tableware, linen, decor, and equipment to event planners, venues, brands, and couples organizing weddings and private celebrations across New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory, including Sydney, Central Coast, Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains, Bowral, and Southern Highlands. Its catalog spans more than 100 distinct SKUs across seating (e.g., Byron Pillow Chair, Yarra Sofa, Manhattan Bench, BOHO Shanti Ottoman), tables (Tivoli Travertine, banquet and communal tables), bars, tableware, linen, decor, and equipment. EHS designs proprietary furniture lines in-house and holds an exclusive linen collaboration with Australian stylist Emma Blomfield.

The core technology is an e-commerce storefront on eventhireservices.com.au that supports self-serve browsing, wishlist, account management, and online ordering, supplemented by a direct consultative sales motion for corporate events and venues. The product itself is physical inventory rather than software; competitive differentiation is delivered through proprietary furniture designs, exclusive designer collaborations, and curated styling. The operation is asset-intensive: EHS owns its inventory, operates its own showroom and warehouse, and is co-located with Katalane Marquees to provide integrated furniture and marquee hire.

EHS generates revenue by renting individual items on a per-event basis at unit prices ranging from $1.00 (small tableware) to $495.00 (Display Cart), with most furniture items priced between $18 and $350 and a secondary revenue stream from bespoke and custom solutions (e.g., custom slip covers, Blomfield linen styling). Pricing includes GST. The model is asset-light for the customer but capital-intensive for EHS, with revenue tied to event calendar seasonality and inventory utilization. The company is privately held, founder-controlled, and has grown organically over 14 years without external funding.
