Keeping Your Guests Toasty: A Guide to Outdoor Heater Hire

We all know how it goes — the party’s in full swing, everyone’s having a marvellous time, and then the temperature drops and people start quietly reaching for their coats. A few well-placed outdoor heaters are the simplest way to keep everyone comfy and the celebration going.

Why heaters are worth it

Melbourne evenings can turn nippy at the drop of a hat, even in the warmer months. Heaters let your guests stay outside and enjoy the space you’ve gone to such trouble over, rather than all squeezing indoors the moment there’s a chill in the air. They also create a lovely cosy atmosphere, especially as the night draws in.

Getting the placement right

A little planning goes a long way here. Pop heaters where people naturally gather — near seating areas, around the bar and close to the dance floor. Spreading a few around works far better than clustering them all in one corner.

A few sensible pointers

• Keep clearance: give heaters plenty of space away from marquees, decorations and low branches.
• Think about numbers: a good scattering beats one lonely heater trying to warm everyone.
• Pair with cover: heaters and a marquee together make for a snug evening.
• Mind the little ones: position them safely out of the way of running children.
