5 Trending party equipment hire ideas for 2026

Event styling has come a long way in the past few years, and 2026 is shaping up to be the brightest yet. From weddings and milestone birthdays to corporate celebrations and community events, the focus is now on creativity, interaction, and atmosphere.

At Letz Get Lit 2444, based in Wauchope and serving the entire Mid North Coast NSW, we’re always ahead of the curve - bringing our clients the most innovative, show-stopping event hire options designed to make any space unforgettable. If you’re planning an event next year, here are five trends lighting up 2026:

1. Giant Marquee Letter & Number Lights

Still the undisputed heroes of event décor, marquee lights remain the top trend in Port Macquarie and surrounding areas. Whether it’s “LOVE” for a wedding, “40” for a milestone birthday, or your company initials for a gala night, these iconic light-up letters are more than décor - they’re the centrepiece.

At Letz Get Lit 2444, we have the largest range of letters, numbers and symbols on the Mid North Coast, all available in stunning LED white or warm glow. Add your own touch with backdrops, ripple plinths, balloon arches or floral arrangements.

2. Interactive Food & Dessert Carts

Gone are the days of boring buffets! 2026 is all about interactive food experiences that get guests talking.

Our fondue carts, lolly carts, and fruit carts are among our most-booked items in the upcoming months - they look incredible and taste even better. Combine with custom signage or lighting and you’ve got a showpiece your guests won’t forget.

3. The Inflatable Party Room Experience

The talk of the town! Our inflatable party room is a 2025 exclusive addition to Letz Get Lit 2444 and has become one of the most in-demand hire items in Wauchope, Kendall, and Camden Haven.

Think of it as your own portable party venue - perfect for backyards, paddocks, or driveways. With LED lighting, Bluetooth speakers, and weather-resistant design, it’s the ultimate solution for venue-less celebrations.

Whether you’re hosting a kids disco, hens party, or staff get-together, this setup makes life easy, affordable, and fun.

4. Photo-Ready Décor: Backdrops, Neon Signs & Walls

If it’s not on Instagram, did it even happen?

The rise of photo-friendly decor continues to dominate the event world. Our custom backdrops, ripple plinths, sunglasses walls and champagne towers turn any corner into a picture-perfect moment. Add a neon sign or marquee letters to your setup for that jaw-dropping finish.

Weddings, brand activations, and milestone birthdays across the Mid North Coast are all leaning into statement styling - and we’ve got every piece you need to make it yours.

5. Sustainable & Reusable Event Hire

Eco-conscious celebrations are here to stay. Couples and event planners are looking for sustainable event hire options that don’t sacrifice style.

At Letz Get Lit 2444, we’re leading the way by using energy-efficient LED lighting, repainted and re-wired décor pieces, and eco-friendly packaging. By hiring instead of buying, you’re also helping reduce waste while still getting premium quality décor.

From Wauchope’s community halls to Port Macquarie’s beachfront venues, more clients are choosing sustainability as their event statement; and we’re proud to make it easy.
