Our Story
Crafting excellence for over 14 Years
Hampton Event Hire is a luxury furniture and décor hire company based in Arundel on the northern Gold Coast, servicing corporate events, weddings, and private celebrations across the East Coast of Australia.
We work closely with our clients to design memorable celebrations and bring event concepts to life through our carefully curated range of high-quality furniture and décor. As industry leaders, we pride ourselves on offering premium products paired with friendly, personalised service—making the event planning process seamless and enjoyable from start to finish.
We know how important it is to feel connected to the people behind the businesses involved in your event, so we’d love to share a little of our story.
Hampton Event Hire began from very humble beginnings—working from a kitchen table and a small storage shed, fuelled by big dreams. The business was founded with a desire to offer couples more creative and inspiring options for wedding furniture and décor at a time when choices were limited. Our mission was simple: to help couples create unforgettable celebrations that truly reflected their unique style and personality.
Today, Hampton Event Hire has grown into a passionate company with strong values and a team culture we’re incredibly proud of. Now in our 14th year, we’ve had the privilege of supporting thousands of corporate events, weddings, and private celebrations, throughout South East Queensland and Northern New South Wales—from the beaches of the Gold Coast, Byron Bay, and Coffs Harbour, to the Sunshine Coast, hinterland regions, and beyond.
We feel incredibly grateful to play a part in so many special moments and genuinely love what we do. With a strong focus on creativity and innovation, we continue to evolve our collection to meet the needs of our wonderful clients.
We’re so glad you’ve found us and can’t wait to help bring your dream event to life.

History In Vintage
Our very first hire item was a pink patina workbench found in Bangalow. From here more vintage pieces were purchased and restored from second-hand stores. (Vintage was the ultimate wedding trend at the time.) Our hire collection slowly began to grow!
- 2012
Wedding Styling
After marketing ourselves on Facebook and through word of mouth, the beginning of 2012 saw more enquiries coming our way for both furniture hire and wedding styling. With an expanding inventory, we moved our stock to a 3m x 3m storage shed in Kingscliff – only to outgrow it within a few months, moving again to a 6m x 6m space.
- 2013
Our First Warehouse
With the brand growing and growing with no sign of slowing down, it was time for our very first warehouse! Along with a bigger space, we also imported our first container of furniture, introducing white and walnut Tiffany chairs to our range. We built a small mezzanine and converted the office into a showroom for meetings and consultations.
August of 2013 also brought a very exciting addition to the team – our first truck, Alfie! Up until this point, we were borrowing utes from friends, hiring trucks, and even strapping furniture to the roof of a Honda. Our range was evolving to more of a classic, romantic vibe as we introduced our popular French linen sofa furniture, timber dining tables, wine barrels and market umbrellas.
- 2014
A New Era
A big change happened this year as we realised we had outgrown our vintage roots. It was time for a rebrand to reflect our new direction! We officially rebranded as Hampton Event Hire in May, while Little Gray Station remained as the styling arm of the business. We worked hard to build the Hampton Event Hire brand from the ground up – launching a new website, creating new social platforms, and spreading the word amongst the industry.
- 2015
Business Is Booming
Along with moving into a huge new 720sqm warehouse, we hired an administrator and logistics manager to maintain our growth, and invested in 2 new trucks.
- 2018
Expanding Our Inventory
We had outgrown our warehouse (yet again!) and decided to relocate into a much larger space – a process that took nearly 2 months and 60 truckloads of furniture. We also added 2 more trucks to our fleet along with more sales team members, allowing us to service more weddings and events. Our furniture inventory was evolving with some exciting new collections being added to the range. Our Velvet, Indie and Dune ranges were massively popular with our clients.
- 2020
Launching Havana
Started with a bang, as we launched our brand new Havana Collection at The Joinery. It was an incredible night mingling with industry friends and showcasing our new arrivals. We were forecasting this year to be our biggest and best yet! And then… COVID-19 happened.
- 2021
Heading North
We said goodbye to our Tweed Heads location, and hello to our brand new space at Arundel. Moving warehouses during a pandemic has been no easy feat (especially with the borders slamming shut just 2 weeks before the move) but somehow, it all came together.
- 2024
Looking to the future
The past few years have been a post pandemic whirlwind and this year has been a busy one. Continuing to expand our inventory with our Banquet lounges, along with the Manhattan, Romantic, Milan, and Zambia Collections. In July we received our latest container of furniture, featuring the Muse collection.
