About Party Hire North East
Hi! I’m Karen, and I started Party Hire North East in 2011. I was making sweetie bouquets and selling them in markets when, one Christmas, I got frostbite and decided I needed to get out of the cold!
I picked up some chocolate fountains and a light base advertised on eBay as something to try, and I haven’t looked back! There was a lot of demand, and I seemed to be the only supplier offering a high-quality, professional chocolate fountain hire service in the North East.
Over the years, I have ploughed profits back into the business – expanding, refining the service and options and purchasing new fountains and equipment for people to hire.
I want to offer great service for a realistic price. As we provide full service, my team members and I get to share the happiest times with customers and their guests on their party, wedding, or event day!
We have served guests at parties numbering 50-500 guests and can tailor your bookings and requirements as needed. I even met Joe McElderry once!
We are Party Hire North East (formerly known as Candy Karen) – the North East’s most professional, friendly and affordable provider of party supplies – including glitter and flower walls, snow cones, hot dog machines, candy carts, chocolate fountains, candy floss machines, popcorn machines, doughnut stands and much much more…
When you hire one of our machines, you can rest assured that you will get a fantastic staffed service on the day – backed up by our hygiene certificates, liability insurance, PAT tested equipment, and registration with the local council.
We operate in and around the Northeast, from Northumberland to York, supplying events with 50 to 500 guests. Whatever your party needs, we are adaptable and pride ourselves on offering great service at great value!
