Vintage Whimsy Event Hire

Vintage Whimsy Event Hire At the time I had been trying to work out how to turn my hobby into a income earning venture.

We are a Sunshine Coast High event hire business specialising in vintage, retro, & classically styled crockery, cutlery and glassware for your high tea, weddings and special celebrations. THE VINTAGE WHIMSY STORY
By Lea Parkes
At the beginning of May 2022 I set up this page to share photos and snippets about my passion for vintage crockery (in particularly Utility China). As Sallie Dodd w

as already offering her lovely bespoke vintage crockery hire service for events on the Sunshine Coast, I figured that I would focus my energy onto buying and selling via Etsy and Facebook. Fast forward a few weeks and I saw Sallie's Facebook post that she had reluctantly decided to sell her beautiful stock and was looking for someone to purchase as a bulk lot. I took this as a sign - that I should become the proud owner of hundreds of vintage dinner plates, luncheon plates, trios, sugar bowls, milk jugs, water jug sets, crystal vases and the list goes on. Today my vintage loving husband and I have managed to create a showroom / office at our home at Palmview to operate Vintage Charm - Crockery and Prop Hire from. Tomorrow the real fun begins of transporting, sorting and unpacking Sallie's collection which we will combine with a substantial collection of our own. It might take me a week or two to get organised before we can start hiring things out, however if you have any thoughts bubbling around about hosting a vintage event, please send me a message. I am really looking forward to meeting fellow vintage mad Sunshine Coast locals and being able to add a little bit of vintage charm to your celebrations / events.

OUR FIRST RETRO MICRO-WEDDING

On the Sunshine Coast we are totally spoilt for wedding locations with so many wonderful venues, including https://thelakehousefolk.com/ that are just perfect for our DIY microwedding clients.

🌻 When I met our most recent bride Jenai I was so excited to be able to assist with creating her tableware vision for 25 with a retro vibe of browns and yellows.

🍂 Yes we have a fabulous range of retro stoneware dinner and entree plates and funky cutlery, so we were definitely a match made in heaven.

Jenai obviously thought the same - here is a snippet from her Google Review "Lea was absolutely wonderful. We stumbled across her website when planning our wedding and received service above and beyond what I could imagine.
She took the time to listen to what we were after and made sure that everything was perfect for us."

If you are looking to create a unique look for your wedding why not make an appointment to take a look at the Vintage Whimsy Event Hire showroom - and have a chat to Lea today.

Here are some of the shots from Jenai's wedding - and you can check out Jenai's full google review on this link https://maps.app.goo.gl/AJzsWFbuUR13nva97

🌸 PINK, PRETTY AND PERFECT FOR A SWEET 16TH

There’s something extra special about celebrating a milestone birthday with beautiful table.

For today's gorgeous 16th birthday pink TEA PAR-TEA, Cristina Re crockery was the star of the show.

Soft pink tones, delicate gold accents, and elegant teacups created that magical “grown-up but still dreamy” vibe.

Your event should feel like you imagined it in your head… only prettier. HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHARLOTTE - hope everything looks AMAZING! 🌸

At Vintage Whimsy Event Hire, we love helping bring ideas like this to life.

If you have your own special event coming up - make sure you send us a message - we’d love to help turn your idea into something unforgettable. ✨

✨ 2026, let’s go! ✨
Festive season: done.
Holidays are OVER
Work energy: officially switched back on

Before I jump head-first into all things 2026, thought I would share a few of my crockery highlights that stole the show over the holidays.
Pretty pastels, vintage details, and tables that made me stop and smile — this is exactly why I do what I do.

Back to beautiful settings, fresh ideas, and a big year ahead 💕🍰
