Whether you are organising a five-star corporate function, a local charity fundraiser, a community festival, a milestone birthday or a casual backyard gathering, Mullumbimby Hire and Sales has the event hire range to make it happen. From our Station Street shed in Mullumbimby, we have been supplying event and party hire equipment across Byron Bay, Ballina, Bangalow, Brunswick Heads, Lismore and the wider Northern Rivers since 1994.

Having been a part of the hire and event industry for over 30 years, we have had the opportunity to work on major festivals, local race days, hundreds of community functions and countless backyard celebrations across the region. That experience means we are completely confident in our ability to make sure your event runs smoothly, no matter the size, the style or the location. We are a locally owned business based in the heart of Byron Shire, and we treat every customer the way we would want to be treated — with genuine care, flexibility and a commitment to getting every detail right.

What We Hire for Events

Marquees and Flooring

We carry one of the most extensive ranges of marquees in Byron Shire. Our range includes Hoeker style marquees that create beautiful open spaces without centre poles or ropes, silk-lined marquees for added elegance, clear marquees for a dining-under-the-stars experience, Hi-Top Pagodas and Quickshades for smaller setups and catering areas, and flooring options to suit different venues and surfaces. From intimate backyard parties to large-scale festivals, we have a marquee to suit every event and every budget.

Furniture

Tables, chairs, bar tables, lounges, benches and a range of seating options to suit formal sit-down dinners, cocktail-style receptions, casual gatherings and everything in between. Visit our Station Street shed in Mullumbimby to view furniture samples in person and choose the style that works best for your event.

Tableware, Chinaware, Glassware and Cutlery

A full range of plates, bowls, glasses, champagne flutes, wine glasses, tumblers, cutlery and serving pieces to set the perfect table for your event. Whether you are planning a formal seated dinner for 150 guests or a relaxed cocktail function for 40, we have the tableware to match the occasion and the style you are going for.

Linen

Tablecloths, napkins, runners and chair covers in a range of colours and styles to complement your event theme. Linen is one of the easiest ways to elevate the look and feel of your event space, and we carry options that suit everything from classic white weddings to colourful birthday celebrations and themed corporate events.

Lighting and Sound

From festoon lights and fairy lights to full sound systems, speakers and microphone setups, we supply lighting and sound equipment to create the right ambience and atmosphere for your event. Our team can line marquees with lighting for evening events and help you work out the right audio setup for speeches, music and entertainment at any size venue.

Catering Equipment

Commercial-grade catering equipment for hire including ovens, warmers, bain-maries, urns, serving equipment and preparation tools. Whether your caterer is working out of a commercial kitchen on site or setting up from scratch at a remote venue, we have the gear to support them and keep the food and drinks flowing throughout your event.

Cool Rooms and Refrigeration

Keeping food and drinks at the right temperature is essential for any event, especially during the warmer months in the Northern Rivers. Our cool room and refrigeration hire ensures your catering stays fresh and safe from setup through to the last guest. Let us know the size and style of your event and we will recommend the right setup.

Portaloo and Toilet Hire

Portable toilet hire for events in locations without adequate facilities or where you are expecting a larger crowd than existing amenities can handle. Essential for outdoor weddings, festivals, community events and rural property functions. We will include the right number of units in your quote based on your guest numbers and venue.

Balloons and Disposables

Balloons, biodegradable disposables and finishing touches to complete the look of your event. A popular choice for birthday parties, kids' events, community functions, fundraisers and casual celebrations where you want a festive atmosphere without the formality of full tableware hire.

Events We Cater For

Corporate Functions & Awards Nights

Birthday Parties & Milestone Celebrations

Community Events & Charity Functions

We have been a proud part of the Byron Shire and Northern Rivers community for over 30 years, and supporting local events is something we genuinely enjoy.

We understand the tight budgets and tight timelines that community events often work with, and we do our best to be flexible and supportive.

Festivals & Markets

From local food and music festivals to weekend markets and cultural celebrations, our marquees, pagodas, Quickshades and event equipment are a popular choice for stallholders, vendors, performers and event organisers across the Northern Rivers.

Free Site Inspections

Not sure what you need or how to lay out your event space? We offer free, no-obligation site inspections across Byron Shire and the Northern Rivers. We will visit your venue, assess the space, and provide honest recommendations on marquee sizing, furniture layout, equipment needs and anything else that will help your event come together smoothly.

Design & Layout Support

If you are unsure about how to configure your event space, we can help.

When the day of your event arrives, our experienced team handles the full delivery, setup and pack-down. We pride ourselves on being on time, organised and thorough. Setup and pack-down are both included in our marquee package prices, so there are no surprises.

Last-Minute Flexibility

We know that events do not always go to plan. Guest numbers change at the last minute, extra equipment is suddenly needed, and the weather in Byron Shire can be unpredictable.

We understand that flexibility is part of what makes a great event hire experience, and we would rather help you adapt than leave you stuck.

Real Reviews from Local Customers

Five black stars in a row.

We hired a cool room, dance floor, outdoor furniture, umbrellas, lawn games, tables etc for our wedding in Nov 2025. The team at Mullum hire are amazing. I can’t thank them enough. The entire process from booking through to pack down and collection was seamless. The hire equipment is great quality and well priced, especially when compared with other vendors I contacted. The team are professional, helpful and easy to deal with, nothing was a drama for them. I couldn’t be happier with how everything went. It was fantastic to be able to get all our hire from the one place. It made the day so seamless. Thank you all so much! I would highly recommend!

Five black stars in a row.

We used the Mullum Hire team for our at-home wedding earlier this month. Everything from the marquee and lighting to the knives and forks was sourced from the Mullum Hire team, and they were absolutely incredible to deal with. They consulted and advised me on the best options for our wedding venue, as well as looked over things like our seating chart to ensure that everything would fit perfectly. On bump-in day, the team were super friendly and helpful, and willing to assist in any way they could. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Mullum Hire team! Thank you again! 🥰

Five black stars in a row.

Wow just blown away by the experience with the Mullum Hire crew. Our marquee looked amazing and really gave our customers an exceptional experience at our recent event. The crew were lovely and went out of their way to do extra with helping us install our shop banner. Highly recommend!!

Five black stars in a row.

We used Mullum Hire as our one-stop-shop hire company for our wedding in Bangalow, and they were fantastic. Terry and the team were incredibly helpful, flexible and capable, resulting in a hassle free and really calming experience in the lead up to the event. They communicated very well throughout, and the set up and bump out were smooth and uncomplicated. Highly recommend their services to anyone doing an event of any scale, as they will do whatever they can to get it just right.
