EnquireWork functions & Christmas parties
Popcorn and candy floss bars for Christmas parties and Friday drinks. We deliver, set up, keep it stocked for the afternoon or evening and pack it all away once your guests have gone. You get one price, one invoice and a team that talks about it on Monday.
Where it fits
Fresh popcorn and candy floss spun on the spot, under a gazebo lit up for the night. It gives a room something to gather round between speeches.
An afternoon of popcorn and floss alongside the bar tab. Set up in the office, a foyer or the car park, on standard power points.
Staff appreciation days, client evenings, open days and product launches. One serve per guest is built in, so nobody misses out.
Price your party
The price updates as you go and includes delivery, setup and pack-down in our area. Send it and we’ll check the date and confirm by email, usually the same day.

How it works
Choose a package and your numbers above. We confirm the date and send a quote you can pass to whoever approves it.
We arrive ahead of your start time, set up the bars, warm the machines and fill the jars. You need power points and a little floor space.
We come back as the evening wraps up and take everything away. No dishes, no sugar on the carpet, nothing left for the cleaners.
Good things to know
Each package includes 50 guests. Every guest past that adds one serve of each treat in your package at that package’s rate, so 80 guests on Sweet & Salty is at least 80 popcorn and 80 candy floss. The calculator above does the sums.
Delivery, setup and pack-down are included across Porirua, Wellington, the Hutt Valley, Wainuiomata and Kāpiti as far as Waikanae. Ōtaki is included with Sweet & Salty and the Christmas Party, and quoted with the Classic. Further afield, including the Wairarapa and Levin, choose that area and we’ll quote the travel.
No. The bars are self-serve: guests scoop their own popcorn and toppings. We set up and keep it ready; a staff member or two keeping an eye on the candy floss machine is all it needs.
Standard 10 A power points for the machines (one each), a little floor space, and a sturdy table if your package doesn’t include ours. For the logo sign, email your logo when you confirm.
Yes. Both machines are electric, with no gas, so they work in an office, a foyer or a function room. The gazebo in the Christmas Party is for outdoor venues; tell us if you’re inside and we’ll suggest a swap.
We can’t promise that. M&M’s carry a “may contain peanuts” warning and mini marshmallows contain gelatine. An allergen card comes with the popcorn bar, and you can choose toppings with your team in mind.
We email a quote and invoice from Playday Party Hire Limited. A deposit of 20% holds your date and comes off the total; the balance is due after the function. Playday isn’t GST-registered, so there’s no GST to add: the price is the price.
Cancel at least 48 hours before and we refund everything, deposit included. Inside 48 hours we keep the deposit. The details are in the hire terms.
Great. One machine can only make so much in an evening, so above 150 guests we confirm the price by hand and bring the extra capacity. Enter your numbers and send it.
