Marquees, caterers, DJs, celebrants, jumping castles, pyro — 4,800 vetted suppliers across seven categories. Compare real availability and pricing, then book the whole run sheet in a single checkout.
Trusted for staff parties, launches and weddings by
Party Pete started when our founder tried to book a 200-guest engagement party and ended up chasing 14 suppliers across email, DMs and voicemail. We built the thing we wanted: real availability, real prices, one contract.
Every supplier on the platform is ID-checked, insured and reviewed by people who actually booked them. Nothing is pay-to-rank.
Four things we do differently — and the reason 68% of our bookings come from a repeat host or their guests.
ID, ABN, insurance and two reference events checked before anyone gets a profile. We reject about a third of applicants.
Calendars sync from the supplier's own diary, so the marquee you're looking at on Tuesday is still free on Tuesday.
Book eleven suppliers, pay once. Funds release after each supplier delivers, so your deposit is never floating.
If a supplier cancels inside 14 days, our team sources a like-for-like replacement and we absorb the difference.
From the celebrant to the CO₂ jets — every part of the day is on the same platform, with the same protections.
Send one brief to every category
Category 01
The people who hold the day together — from the run sheet to the door.
Category 02
Everything that turns an empty paddock or hall into a room people remember.
Category 03
Grazing tables to plated three-course, plus the bar and the cold chain behind it.
Category 04
The people on the mic, behind the lens and on the dance floor.
Category 05
The things guests queue for — and the reason the photos are any good.
Category 06
How the room looks, and how everyone in it looks at 6pm and at midnight.
Category 07
Pyro and effects sit in their own category for a reason: every operator here holds a current explosives or effects licence, files the permits, and handles the exclusion zones with your venue directly.

Would book again
I booked a marquee, flooring, heaters and portable toilets in about twenty minutes. The bit I didn't expect: they flagged that our driveway was too narrow for the truck before the supplier did.
Our DJ pulled out nine days before the staff party. Party Pete had two replacements in the same price band by that afternoon and covered the $180 difference without me asking.
One invoice for the caterer, bar, florist and celebrant made the finance side painless. Only note: I'd have liked more vegan caterers listed in our regional area.
Jumping castle, face painter and a magician for a seven-year-old's birthday. All three arrived early, all three were on the same run sheet. That never happens.
The pyro operator handled the council permit and the exclusion zone with the venue directly. I signed one thing and it was done.
Every booking over $5,000 gets a named coordinator. These are the people on the other end of the phone at 4pm when the truck is late.
Hosts never pay to search. Suppliers choose how visible they want to be — no lock-in, cancel any month.
For solo operators taking their first bookings online.
For established suppliers running a full season.
For multi-crew operators and equipment hire companies.
Commission only applies to completed bookings. Cancellations by the host cost you nothing.
