Services
Hire for the Coast, service by service.
Event hire on the Central Coast
Venues range from Terrigal and Avoca Beach to properties near Ourimbah and Mangrove Mountain. Share the address so travel and access can be planned.
Party hire on the Central Coast
Lakeside parties around Tuggerah Lake and Budgewoi often happen on open lawns. Ask how furniture and umbrellas are secured when the wind comes off the water.
Chair hire on the Central Coast
Beach and headland ceremonies need chairs that suit sand and grass. Tell suppliers how far the chairs will be carried.
Wedding hire on the Central Coast

Questions
Questions from the Coast.
Answers for events on and around the Central Coast.
Does this page cover Gosford and Wyong?
Yes. Both are inside the Central Coast Council area, along with places such as Terrigal, Woy Woy and The Entrance.
Can we use candles at an outdoor bushland wedding?
Check the fire danger rating, any total fire ban for the day and the venue’s rules. LED candles are a safer alternative.
Is Lake Macquarie covered here?
Only the Central Coast shoreline, around places such as Gwandalan and Summerland Point. The City of Lake Macquarie is part of the Newcastle urban area.
