events designed for presence, purpose + ROI

Event Services

This is where brand vision meets strategic execution, premium event hire and standout design. We’re here to simplify the process and cut through the noise.

Just one cohesive, seamless vision brought to life with clarity, calm, and killer taste that delivers real results.

what we do

  • From statement furniture and elevated tablescapes - our curated hire collection is designed to bring clarity, cohesion, and serious visual punch to your event.

    Whether you’re creating a polished product launch, an immersive brand moment, or a high-end networking space, our pieces are chosen for both their functionality and cohesiveness. Think furniture that photographs like a dream and holds up to a full guest list.

    Larger items are delivered and collected by our team, while smaller decor pieces can be delivered or picked up - ideal for in-house teams who want flexibility without managing five different suppliers.

    This service is ideal for clients with a clear creative direction—those who know what they’re looking for and just need the right high-quality pieces to bring it to life. Perfect for in-house marketers, event pros, and brand teams who want elevated impact—without needing our styling services.

  • Marquees for brand events are a whole different beast - and we treat them that way. Our premium stretch tents and clipframe marquees are backed by the kind of support event teams actually need - floorplans, logistics checklists, and a trained and professional team on-site.

    We also offer full styling services and the South Island’s most extensive furniture range—so you’re not just getting a marquee, you’re creating a space that’s functional, on-brand, and seriously impressive.

    It’s marquee hire, but sharper, smarter, and fully integrated.

    This service is ideal for event managers and brand teams who know the power of a well-executed space - and want a marquee partner who can think 10 steps ahead.

  • This is where your event transforms from concept to fully immersive experience. We don’t just make things look good - we create a visual language that speaks your brand, your goals, and your guest journey.

    Through a collaborative, research-led process, we craft a tailored Styling Document that brings clarity and cohesion across every element: curated moodboards, colour palettes that align with your brand identity, floorplans optimised for flow, and styling direction that ties together furniture, florals, signage, and beyond.

    Come event day, our team handles full setup and packdown - executing the vision down to the last detail so you can focus on the bigger picture (or the champagne).

    This service is ideal for brand teams, PR agencies, and event professionals who want a design-forward event that feels elevated and intentional—without having to micromanage the process. You bring the goals and the brief—we'll turn it into something guests won't stop talking about.

  • Strategic. Stylish. Seamlessly on-brand. Our semi-custom signage offering is where form meets function - designed to enhance guest experience and anchor your visual identity across every touchpoint.

    From branded welcome moments and directional signage to bar menus and product spotlights, we create pieces that are more than informative - they’re impactful.

    This service is ideal for brand and corporate clients who want their signage to work harder—tying together function, aesthetic, and messaging without missing a beat.

  • We design blooms that support your spatial layout, brand tone, and guest experience—whether it’s minimalist arrangements for a press dinner or bold, sculptural installs for a product launch.

    This service is ideal for event professionals who want their florals to feel cohesive, not cookie-cutter—woven seamlessly into the overall styling, not tacked on at the end.

  • You’ve made the creative calls—now let us bring it to life, exactly as planned. This service is built for clients who’ve already locked in their styling decisions and need a trusted team to execute with precision.

    From precise placement of signage and hire pieces to full-scale spatial styling, our team manages the entire setup and post-event packdown. We work from your brief, brand guidelines, or run sheet - so everything looks intentional, cohesive, and professionally delivered.

    This service is ideal for in-house teams and brand professionals who want it handled seamlessly on the day—without managing a crew or staying late to roll up rugs.

How We Bring It All Together

Consultation

This is where your vision meets clarity. We’ll chat through your ideas, priorities, and any roadblocks, then guide you forward with a tailored game plan. Whether it’s a brand launch, private celebration or full-scale wedding, we help shape the direction.

For simpler events, a quick 15min Discovery Call might be all you need. For bigger projects or full-service styling, we recommend a 60min consult to really dive in.
