Structure and shelter
Marquee or tipi sized to your guests (allow roughly 1 square metre per person standing, 1.5 to 2 seated, plus space for a bar and dancefloor). Sidewalls for weather and privacy. Flooring or a subfloor if the ground is soft, sloping or hard. A pop-up gazebo or pagoda for a bar, food station or smaller party. Market umbrellas for casual shade.
Not sure what size or style of marquee you need? The Adelaide marquee hire guide covers sizing by guest count and the difference between clear, white and tipi.
Furniture and seating
Banquet or round tables and enough chairs to seat your guests (for a seated event). Cocktail and bar tables for a stand-up party. Lounge settings (sofas, armchairs, ottomans) for a relaxed area. A bar, plus plinths, a cake table and a signing table if relevant. Linen, if not included with the tables.
Lighting and atmosphere
Festoon globe strings for a warm overhead canopy. Fairy or twinkle lights for sparkle and backdrops. Uplighting to colour walls, marquee linings or features. A neon sign or illuminated letters as a feature. Power or a generator if the site is short on outlets, which a supplier assesses.

Entertainment and the dancefloor
A dancefloor sized to your crowd (roughly half a square metre per dancing guest, with about a third to a half dancing at once). A jukebox, sound system or DJ for the music. Microphones for speeches. A photo backdrop or flower wall, and a photo booth to go with it.
