Day-after wedding breakfast
The wedding’s done and half the guests stayed over. Up to 4 days covers Friday to Monday, so the breakfast or brunch stays dry if it rains on Sunday. The adult package seats 16, with more chairs at $3.25 each.
Gazebo & party marquee hire
Gazebo hire in Wellington & Porirua.

Up to 4 days$150
A week$250
A 20% deposit (minimum $20) secures your booking and comes off the total.
Four ways to hire it
Just the roof, or the whole party under it.
Every option collects free from Porirua. Keep the gazebo for up to 4 days, so you can set up the day before and pack down after, or take it for a week.

3m × 3m · from $95
A smaller roof for a smaller yard.
Not every party needs six metres. The small gazebo is a 3m × 3m version of our big one: nine square metres, a peaked roof, three walls and four sandbag weights. It fits a courtyard or a narrow back lawn and covers one trestle table with eight kids, or eight to ten adults standing.
It also works as a second roof beside the 3m × 6m, over the food table, the cake or the barbecue. $95 for up to 4 days or $150 for a week.
What it’s hired for
Backyard parties that can’t trust the forecast.
Kids’ parties, 21sts and 40ths
Our kids’ package puts 24 children at party tables under cover. For grown-up birthdays, the adult package brings the tables and chairs, so you only bring the food.
Christmas and the family barbecue
Shade for the long lunch, and zip-on walls for a passing shower. Keep it up to 4 days and you don’t have to pack up the same night.
Getting it home
One bag. Two people. No tools.
The whole gazebo packs into a single carry bag, 1.58 m long and about 51 kg. It fits in a station wagon, SUV or ute, and it’s a two-person lift into the car.
The frame is one piece and the roof stays on it, so there are no loose poles to sort out. Walk the legs out, raise them to height, zip on as many walls as the weather calls for, then peg it down.
Prefer not to drive it? We deliver across Porirua, Wellington, Lower Hutt, Upper Hutt and Kāpiti — ask and we’ll quote it with your date.
Add-on · $40
Festoon lights for when the sun goes down.
Warm-white festoon lights strung around the gazebo frame turn an afternoon party into an evening one. They’re commercial-grade outdoor festoons: heavy rubber cable, weatherproof sockets and screw-in bulbs, with enough length to run the whole frame.
$40 for any hire window, added to the gazebo or either gazebo package. They plug into a normal power point — bring an outdoor extension lead if the nearest socket is inside.

The Wellington rule
If the wind gets up, the gazebo comes down.
A pop-up gazebo is a very good roof and a very bad kite. Peg every leg into the lawn, hang a sandbag weight on each leg on hard ground, and tie off the guy ropes. If the wind picks up past a breeze, drop the walls first, then take it down — the party carries on and the gazebo lives to see the next one. We’ll show you how at collection.
Good things to know
Questions before the forecast.
How much is gazebo hire?
$150 for up to 4 days or $250 for a week, with the walls, pegs, guy ropes and six sandbag weights included. The small 3m × 3m gazebo is $95 for up to 4 days or $150 for a week. The kids’ package with 24 chairs and three tables is $215 for up to 4 days. The adult package with 16 chairs and three 1.8 m tables is $229 for up to 4 days. Need a package for longer? Ask us. Collection from Porirua is free, and delivery is quoted with your date. Walls and weights are never extra, and there’s no bond.
Is it a marquee or a gazebo?
It’s a heavy-duty pop-up gazebo, which works as a small 3m × 6m marquee with a peaked roof and three zip-on walls. It suits backyard parties of up to about 20 seated adults. For a bigger crowd, ask us and we’ll tell you honestly what will fit.
Can I hire it for a day-after wedding breakfast?
Yes. Up to 4 days covers the whole wedding weekend: collect on Friday and bring it back on Monday, so nobody packs up on the day. The adult package seats 16, and more white folding chairs are $3.25 each.
How many people fit under it?
It’s 3m × 6m — 18 square metres. That comfortably covers three trestle tables with 24 children, or 16 to 20 adults seated. The small 3m × 3m is nine square metres: one table of eight children, or a food or cake table.
Is it waterproof?
Yes. The roof is heavy-duty coated PVC and the three walls zip on, so you can close off the side the weather is coming from and leave the front open.
How hard is it to put up?
Two adults, a few minutes, no tools. The frame opens out in one piece with the roof already attached. One person can do it at a push, but two is much easier.
Will it fit in my car?
It comes in one bag 1.58 m long, 45 cm wide and 27 cm deep, weighing about 51 kg. A station wagon, SUV or ute is best, and you’ll want two people to lift it. If that doesn’t suit, ask us about delivery.
How long can I keep the gazebo?
Up to 4 days at the standard price, so you can collect a day or two before the party and bring it back after. You don’t have to put it up and take it down on the same day. Need it longer? A week is $250 for the big gazebo and $150 for the small one.
What are the adult chairs like?
White folding chairs with a steel frame and a padded seat and back — comfortable, tidy and easy to wipe down. They’re $3.25 each and fold flat for the car.
Can I add lights for an evening party?
Yes. Festoon lights are $40 for any hire window, strung along the gazebo frame in warm white. They plug into a normal power point, so bring an outdoor extension lead if the nearest socket is inside, and keep the plug end out of the rain.
Is there a damage bond?
No. The deposit is part of the hire price and comes off your total — it’s not a separate bond. Please return everything you hired; damage beyond normal wear may be charged at a reasonable repair or replacement cost. Our full hire terms explain how that works.
