About Tauranga Party Hire

Family Owned with Exceptional Service

Tauranga Party Hire has been proudly serving the Bay of Plenty from Eighth Avenue since 1983. Today, the business is owned and operated by us — Shaun and Chelsea O’Connor. We love what we do and take real pride in helping bring great events to life.

Shaun brings a strong background in construction, with a practical mindset and past experience in running successful businesses. Chelsea’s previous experience in hospitality spans from working on super yachts to luxury island resorts, delivering high level of service and attention to detail.

Together, we are committed to providing the Bay of Plenty with reliable, high-quality hire solutions for every type of event — from weddings and private functions to corporate and large-scale community events.

We are passionate about delivering an exceptional customer experience. Our focus is on being friendly, helpful, and dependable, while going the extra mile to ensure every event runs smoothly. Alongside our experienced team, we’re proud to continue building on the 40 years of Tauranga Party Hire’s reputation as the go-to destination for event and party hire in the region.

We look forward to working with you to make your next event seamless, stress-free, and truly memorable.
