Behind every well-run event is a team of suppliers handling the logistics. The right combination of food, drink, photography, sound and staging turns a venue into a finished event. With 1389 service providers listed across dozens of specialist categories, this page covers everything beyond the entertainment itself.
Caterers handle everything from formal sit-down meals to buffets and canape receptions. For a more casual approach, food trucks bring street food directly to your venue and are popular at festivals, outdoor weddings and corporate events. Mobile bars provide a full drinks service wherever you need one, while bartenders and mixologists can run cocktail-making stations or serve behind an existing bar. Ice cream trucks and sweet carts add a fun element, especially at weddings and family events. Drink suppliers and waiters and waitresses round out the food and beverage options.
Professional photography and video ensure your event is properly documented. Event photographers cover corporate functions, parties and milestone celebrations, while wedding photographers specialise in the particular rhythm and key moments of a wedding day. Videographers and wedding videographers capture footage that still images cannot. For aerial shots of outdoor venues and large gatherings, drone photographers provide a different perspective. Photo booths and selfie mirrors give guests interactive photo opportunities and printed keepsakes to take home.
Good sound and lighting make a noticeable difference to any event with live music or speeches. Sound systems and PA hire provide the audio setup, with sound technicians available to run the equipment professionally. Lighting hire covers everything from uplighting and festoon lights to full stage rigs. Audio visual hire brings screens, projectors and AV setups for presentations, slideshows and live feeds. For large-scale events, portable floors and stages provide purpose-built performance areas, and set designers create themed or branded environments.
Weddings often require the widest range of suppliers. Wedding planners coordinate the full logistics, while wedding officiants and celebrants lead the ceremony itself. Hair stylists and makeup artists handle bridal and wedding party styling. Decorative touches like LOVE letters and Marry Me signs and confetti cannons add visual impact to the venue. Wedding services and rentals brings together a broader range of wedding-specific equipment and supplier options.
Many events need additional equipment beyond what the venue provides. Tent and marquee hire covers outdoor and semi-outdoor events where shelter is needed. Event furnishings provide tables, chairs, linens and decor to finish a space. Party rentals offer a broader selection of equipment for private celebrations. Karaoke hire is a popular add-on for parties and corporate socials. For events with live music, instrument and backline hire supplies amps, drum kits and other gear that performers may need.
For events that call for something dramatic, fireworks displays and pyrotechnics create a high-impact finale. Laser shows work well indoors and offer a modern alternative to traditional fireworks. Video streaming services allow remote guests to watch events live, an option that has become increasingly standard for weddings and corporate conferences.
Costs vary widely across service types. Individual suppliers like photographers, bartenders and sound technicians tend to charge less than full-service packages such as catering for large groups or complete production setups. Rates start from $11 for smaller bookings and reach $19780 for premium or multi-day services. The average across all event service categories is $578.
