About us
Stretch Tents Coromandel
Stretch Tents Coromandel is part of Peninsula Party Hire, a family based business located in Whitianga on the Coromandel Peninsula, New Zealand.
Having lived, worked and holidayed on the Peninsula for many years, we have explored all the region has to boast – beaches, bush, islands and communities – we are always keen to promote the Coromandel as an ideal location for all types of events.
We consider ourselves fortunate to own and operate a business that allows us to help you realise your dreams for the perfect wedding, party or event. We love the challenge of creating just the right atmosphere and setting for you – whether small and intimate, large and dramatic or anywhere in-between. We look forward to helping you.

A Tent For All Seasons
“Four seasons in one day” a common term often used on the Peninsula. Stretch Tents are very versatile and can be configured to make the best of all weather conditions. We can make out tents cosy and snug inside so you and your guests don’t need to worry about what the weather is doing outside. Alternatively if the weather is warm and sunny we can open up the tent to maximise the views, air flow and ambience. Us kiwis love the great outdoors regardless of the event, so don’t let the weather put you off holding your wedding or event under a Stretch Tent.

Testimonials
“We hired Peninsula Party Hire for our wedding in February 2020 – they supplied both a stretch tent and furniture/equipment. The stretch tent really transformed the venue and let us make the most of the space. Unfortunately the set up needed to be changed the day before the wedding due to wind, which caused us a few issues with our set up arrangements, but it all worked out in the end. The furniture and equipment was all great. Richard was very prompt and professional when responding to my many queries, and hire additions, leading up to the wedding. The crew setting up on the day worked really hard in a tricky space, and were friendly and lovely to meet. Would definitely recommend. “

Would recommend to anyone. Richard and Helen provided amazing service by answering all our emails and questions. Everything we ordered was set up in no time, looked great and collected after the wedding. Thanks again!!”

“We hired a marquee and glassware from these guys for our wedding in the Coromandel. They were super helpful leading up to the day. We were trying to organise everything from home in Australia which was tricky but they were really accommodating. Richard even went out of his way to source and collect a PA System for us. Their team was prompt and professional, the marquee was perfect and looked great on the day. I will definitely hire from them again next time I get married…..Just joking.“
