Our journey began in 2006 when, at the age of 19, Greg Evangelou founded Budget Party Hire, starting his venture from his parents' backyard. Fast forward to 2010, and the remarkable growth we experienced led to the launch of White Marquee Event Hire in 2014, catering to the premium, high-end event market in South Australia. Since then, we have proudly operated from Marleston, South Australia.

In 2015, the Adelaide Event Group was established, acquiring our direct competitors, Renniks Events and Wavals Party Hire, further solidifying our position in the industry. While we have evolved and expanded over the years, our dedication to innovation remains at the heart of our creativity and the high-quality solutions we provide for South Australia’s premier events.

Our story is one of unyielding determination, hard work, and a relentless drive to push boundaries. From humble backyard beginnings to becoming a leader in the events industry, we continue to create unforgettable experiences, shaping the future of events in South Australia.

We strive to hire the industry’s best with a focus on elevating the events sector. Our people are the foundation of our success. They connect with our clients and deliver exceptional results by designing, curating, building, and furnishing temporary spaces to the highest of standards.

At White Marquee, our team of over 75 employees operates from a 5000+ square metre warehouse, supported by a fleet of 20 vehicles, including machinery, large trucks, and semi-trailers. We specialise in temporary structures, furniture, and hospitality products, offering comprehensive design services from scaled floor plans and site plans to 3D artist impression renders.

Our extensive inventory includes over 40,000 square metres of temporary structures, 10,000+ chairs, 2000+ tables, 1000+ modular lounge pieces, and over 20,000 pieces of tableware. We are equipped to supply events of any size across Australia.

We specialise in designing innovative event spaces that transform our clients' visions into reality. From a blank canvas to world-class fit-outs, we bring creativity and precision to every project. Our in-house design capabilities ensure that each event is unique and tailored to the specific needs of our clients. Throughout the process, we provide 3D renders and mood boards to help clients visualise their dream space, ensuring every detail is perfect.

We pride ourselves on pushing the boundaries of design and innovation. In recent years, we've taken our expertise to the next level by creating our own unique furniture collections. From meticulously selecting every 'curve and contour’ to sifting through thousands of fabric swatches and Pantone colours, our goal has been to craft furniture pieces that genuinely enhance and elevate event spaces. 

Our dedication to innovative design of temporary structures is what sets us apart. The Soho Structure collection all begun in 2018 with Soho House. This was followed by Soho Arc in 2021, Soho Dome in 2022, and most recently, Soho Hall in 2024. Each of these structures was designed in-house, with meticulous attention to every detail.

We recognise the significant environmental impact of the events industry and are committed to minimising our footprint. Our goal is to implement greener, more sustainable practices that drive responsible progress within our sector.

Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our product longevity. By investing in high-quality items from the start, we ensure they last up to 25 years. 

To further our environmental efforts, we also:

- Use Recycled and Sustainable Materials: We prioritise the use of recycled and sustainable materials in our products, reducing the demand for new resources and lowering our overall environmental impact.

- Energy-Saving Measures: Our warehouse is equipped with energy-efficient lighting and solar panels, significantly reducing our energy consumption and reliance on non-renewable energy sources.

- Sell Ex-Hire Equipment: By selling ex-hire equipment, we extend the lifecycle of our products and reduce wastage, promoting a circular economy within our industry.

- Promote Eco-Friendly Choices: We encourage our clients to choose eco-friendly options for their events, providing guidance and support to ensure their celebrations are both memorable and kind to the planet.

Together, we can create outstanding events that are gentle on our planet.
