Marquee & Wedding Hire Tamborine Mountain
Marquees, tipis, furniture, lighting and flooring delivered and installed on Tamborine Mountain by our own crew. We’ve been setting up weddings and events in South East Queensland for around 15 years, and the Mountain is one of our most regular runs.
Tamborine Mountain is the Scenic Rim’s wedding capital. Between the wineries along the plateau, the rainforest venues around Eagle Heights and North Tamborine, and the private acreage properties tucked into the escarpment, most couples who marry up here end up needing some hire gear – and a good number need a full marquee or tipi reception because their venue is a paddock with a view.
That’s what we do. Our depot is at Molendinar on the Gold Coast, roughly 40 minutes from the top of the Mountain via Tamborine–Oxenford Road, so we’re close enough to send a crew up for a site check, run the install over a weekday, and come back for the pack-down without any of it being a big deal.

What we hire on Tamborine Mountain
Structure marquees
6m-wide and 10m-wide structure marquees, built in 3m bays so the length suits your guest count – anything from a 6m x 6m ceremony cover to a 10m x 36m reception. Choose white or clear roof, white or clear walls, and clear gable ends if you want to keep the view of the valley. Pegged into grass or weighted on hard stands.
Giant tipis
Our giant tipis are 10.3m across and 6.4m high. Hire one for an intimate ceremony or join two or three for a reception with a dance floor. Sides can be raised for a summer wedding or lowered against a cool Mountain night. A mini tipi works well for a bar or a kids’ corner.
Flooring & dance floors
Marquee flooring is priced per 3m bay, so you can floor the dining area and leave the ceremony lawn as grass. Dance floors to suit.
Lighting
Fairy-light canopies inside the marquee, festoon strings along the bays or across the outdoor areas, and chandeliers on the internal frames. Mountain weddings run late – lighting is the item couples are most glad they booked.
Tables, chairs & lounges
Dining tables, bentwood and cross-back style chairs, bars, lounges and cocktail furniture, plus linen, glassware, crockery and cutlery to match.
Luxury toilets, coolrooms & catering gear
For private-property weddings we can bring the rest of the infrastructure too: luxury toilet trailers, coolrooms, bar fridges and catering equipment for your caterer.
Setting up on the Mountain – what to expect
- Site visits. For any marquee or tipi booking we’ll look at the site first, either in person or from your photos and the satellite view in our Structure Designer. We’re checking the ground is level enough, where the truck can get to, and whether we’re pegging or weighting.
- Access. Our trucks need drive-in access to the setup spot. Mountain driveways can be steep and narrow – tell us if yours is, and we’ll send the right vehicle.
- Weather. The Mountain is a few degrees cooler than the coast and it does rain. Walls that drop quickly and a clear roof that still lets the light in are the standard answer; we’ll talk you through it.
- Timing. We deliver and install on the weekday before your event and collect on the first weekday after, between 8am and 4pm, so the marquee is up and dry before your stylist and florist arrive.
- Delivery. Delivery and collection are charged by road distance from our Molendinar depot. Add your property address when you request a quote and you’ll see the exact figure. See our delivery and collection terms.

Tamborine Mountain wedding hire – common questions
Can you set up a marquee at a winery or venue on the Mountain?
Yes. Many Mountain venues have a lawn or paddock couples use for a marquee or tipi reception when the indoor space is too small for their numbers. Check with the venue that they allow it, then send us their contact and we’ll coordinate access and timing with them directly.
Can you peg into the ground on the Mountain?
Usually. Mountain soil takes pegs well; the exceptions are paved courtyards and decks, where we weight the marquee instead. Ask the property owner about underground services (irrigation, power, septic) before the install day – we peg to 40cm.
How many guests fit in a marquee?
As a rule of thumb for a seated reception with a dance floor, allow around 1.5m² per guest – so a 10m x 15m marquee suits roughly 100 guests. Our Structure Designer lets you lay out the tables yourself and see what fits.
How far ahead should I book?
Spring and autumn weekends on the Mountain book out early. For a marquee or tipi we’d suggest securing the date 6–12 months out; furniture and smaller items can usually be added later.
Do you deliver on weekends?
Our standard deliveries and collections are Monday to Friday. Weekend installs can sometimes be arranged at a surcharge – ask when you enquire.
Is there a minimum order for delivery?
Yes – a minimum of $200 of hire items for delivery and collection, or $100 if you’re collecting from our Molendinar depot yourself.
