Our most-hired size. Powers a complete marquee event — festoon runs, DJ rig, catering equipment, and accent lighting all at once. Sound-attenuated canopy keeps noise well below conversation level.

Built for serious events — wedding receptions with full catering, corporate functions, and multi-zone setups. Handles industrial coffee machines, bain-maries, heaters, and full lighting rigs simultaneously.
Commercial / Festival
Festival-grade power. Runs entire event sites — multiple marquees, commercial kitchens, industrial HVAC, production lighting, and sound systems. Essential for large-scale events with heavy power demands.

View Lighting →Chairs, tables, wine barrels & bar stools for your powered outdoor venue.

Explore Flooring →Our Honda inverters operate at just 53dB — quieter than a normal conversation. Even the largest 60kVA diesel unit stays under 67dB. We position all generators away from guest areas and downwind.
Add up the wattage of all equipment you plan to run. A typical wedding with DJ, festoon, and catering needs 5,000–8,000W (our 10kVA unit). Send us your equipment list and we'll recommend the right size.
No — generators produce exhaust and require ventilation. We position them outside the marquee in a sheltered spot and run heavy-duty leads inside. This keeps fumes out and maintains a safe environment.
Yes. All generators are supplied with fuel ready to go. Generators must be returned fueled — if not returned with fuel, a refuel charge of $4 per litre applies.
Payment is due 30 days before your hire date. This secures your generator and confirms your booking.
Cancellations are non-refundable. We offer credits towards a future hire or rescheduling at our discretion. Contact us ASAP if your plans change.
Wind over 60 km/h, hail, or cyclonic conditions may delay setup. Force majeure protects your booking — you'll receive a credit or reschedule option. We monitor weather and communicate early.
You're responsible for the generator from delivery to collection. We strongly recommend event insurance covering equipment at replacement value. Report any incidents to your insurer and us immediately.
Tell us your event details and equipment list — we'll recommend the right generator and quote it same-day
We honestly couldn't have asked for better than Intents Events for our special day! The marquee was absolutely amazing — beautifully set up, spacious, and finished to such a high standard.
Absolutely incredible company. My 30th on the Highland Valley Farm turned out perfectly! Setup, take down was absolutely EASY. Lights looked even better! Was so stress free!
I would 1000% recommend In Tents Events to anyone who'll listen! From set up to pack down, just incredible! Their marquee and dancefloor set up was incredible!
Joe and his team at In-tents events were professional, polite and prompt when answering any questions. Nothing was too much trouble.
We hired a marquee for our son's 18th birthday, and it was absolutely fantastic! The marquee was perfect — spacious, sturdy, and beautifully set up.
