French Affair Events & Hire

Negative experience: "I would give zero stars if I could. We were charged a premium price ($500) for budget-quality items. We paid an extra $80 for an acrylic sign that was peeling/bubbling. The light-up numbers were cardboard. The owner’s refusal to communicate—ghosting my texts and hanging up the phone mid-conversation—is incredibly disrespectful. For a $500 hire fee, you expect a professional product and professional conduct. We received neither." My reply back to you and again you had time to write back to me online but no phone call, message or email "Calling someone out for providing poor quality is not 'abuse.' My frustration stems from paying $500 for a milestone 21st birthday only to receive a bubbling, defective acrylic sign and cardboard light-up numbers. Yes, I told you it was a horrible thing to do—because as a mother, seeing my daughter’s special day dampened by low-quality decor that we paid a premium for is devastating. Instead of acknowledging the bubbling on the sign or the material of the numbers, you chose to hang up on me and now mischaracterize my messages. A professional business would offer to fix the product or provide a partial refund, not ghost a client and then claim 'harassment' when held accountable for the quality they delivered."

Fantastic experience: We hired chairs for our wedding. They were in great condition and looked amazing.

Fantastic experience: I wish I found French Affair hire sooner!! We hired glassware for our wedding and I looked at every option in greater Brisbane (and tweed!) for options and Julie’s products were the only ones that were beautiful (when you look at glassware hire options you’ll know what I mean!) and at a great price and super easy process for select/hire/pickup and drop off. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend or rehire. Thank you so very much

Fantastic experience: Julie was so great to work with!!! I had last minute plans to do a birthday celebration and needed tables and chairs ASAP.

I highly recommend this company to anyone who is planning on getting married or having a special event.
