Let’s dive right into the heart of making your next corporate event a standout – picking the perfect theme! Think of it as setting the stage for a blockbuster movie where every detail contributes to the story. Whether you’re toasting a big win, launching something exciting, or just bringing the team together, the right mix of hire items and theme can turn your corporate event from ‘just another day at the office’ to the highlight of the year. So, grab a cuppa, and let’s get those creative juices flowing on how to nail that winning theme that’ll have everyone buzzing with excitement.


Crafting a Narrative

Kicking off the theme hunt starts with a deep dive into the heart and soul of your brand, meshing it perfectly with what lights up your guest’s world. Whether you’re all about the latest tech and want to transport your guests to a ‘Tech Wonderland’, or you’re in the fashion game aiming for a ‘Chic Gala’ vibe, the magic lies in aligning your theme with the pulse of your crowd. It’s not just about picking a theme; it’s about weaving a story that resonates, connects, and brings everyone onto the same exciting page.

With our huge range of tables, seating, bars and decor we provide the essential elements to tailor an event that’s a true reflection of your unique story, ensuring your theme isn’t just seen but experienced by everyone.

The Perfect Setting

The venue you choose sets the stage for your event, and our versatile hire items are key to aligning any space with your chosen theme. A grand ballroom might lend itself to a more formal, elegant theme, while an outdoor setting could be perfect for a more relaxed, nature-inspired concept. Consider the logistics of your theme in relation to your venue, including space constraints and decor possibilities.

It’s easy to transform any space to align with your chosen theme. Elegant café tables can turn a simple venue into a sophisticated dinner party, while our versatile ottomans and lounges can create cosy, inviting areas for guests to mingle and relax.

Depending on where you are located, there will a variety of options to choose from. If you’re based along the east coast, check out our lists of the best venues in the Gold Coast and in Byron Bay and unique event venues in Brisbane

Stand Out with Uniqueness

While popular themes like “Great Gatsby” and “70s Disco” are always a hit, don’t be afraid to think outside the box too. Originality can make your event stand out, giving your guests a unique experience they’ll remember and talk about. Brainstorm with your team, consider less common inspirations, and don’t shy away from bold, creative ideas.

Dare to be different with unique structures like pergolas and arbours that serve as stunning centrepieces or thematic focal points, turning the ordinary into the extraordinary and giving your guests an experience they’ll never forget.

Get Involved!

The most memorable themes are those that transform your guests from spectators into participants at the heart of the celebration. Imagine a venue where every corner brings a new interactive experience.

Picture a ‘Carnival’ theme brought to life with vibrant decor and engaging entertainment options, making every guest an integral part of the festivity.

Backdrops serve as the perfect canvas for your theme, transforming even the simplest setting into a scene straight out of a storybook.

Decor Adds The Finishing Touch

It’s the small details that often leave a big impact. Our decor range, from soft cushions and ambient candles to decorative baskets, vessels, and elegant rugs, adds layers of texture, colour, and atmosphere to your event. These elements are the final brushstrokes on your thematic masterpiece, bringing warmth and personality to every corner.

Tech to the Rescue

Incorporating technology can take your themed event to the next level. From immersive augmented reality experiences to interactive digital installations, tech can enhance your theme’s impact and engagement. Consider how tech elements can complement your theme and add an extra wow factor.

Why not make your event the talk of the town with social media integrations, like live tweet walls or Instagram-ready photo ops with your event’s custom hashtag? Digital engagement is a great way to extend your event’s reach and keep the conversation going long after the lights go out.

Harness the power of social media within your tech setup. Custom hashtags, live feeds displayed on digital screens, and selfie stations with themed backgrounds can amplify your event’s reach, engaging not just those in attendance but also a broader online audience. This digital engagement can extend the life of your event, creating buzz and excitement in the digital realm.
