Eleven years ago, in a small home in Tauranga, Lucy sat at her kitchen table with a simple idea: to help people create memorable, beautiful events without the stress. That kitchen table quickly became her first office. No fancy warehouse. No big budget. Just a passion for people, an eye for detail, and a vision for something greater.

Back then, the business started with the basics—handmade trestle tables, lovingly built by Lucy’s partner, Hayden. Those first tables were delivered with care, picked up in the family car, and set up with pride. Every booking felt like a win, every happy client a reminder that this dream was worth chasing.

What began as a side hustle grew steadily—event by event, table by table—through hard work, word of mouth, and a dedication to service that never wavered.

Fast forward to today, Lucy’s Event Hire now services over 600 clients a year across the North Island, from intimate backyard celebrations to large-scale corporate functions. Our inventory has grown, our team has expanded, and our name has become trusted in the industry—but at the heart of it all, we are still guided by the same spirit Lucy had at her kitchen table.

We’re more than just event hire. We’re a team of people who help create moments that matter. And we never forget where we came from.
