Running The Same Event Set Up Across Melbourne & Brisbane

Oct 9

4 min read

Big Light Letters is a multi-city event hire supplier operating across Melbourne and Brisbane.

If there's one thing event planners know, it's that a national event lives or dies on consistency across every location.

The letters have to match. The backdrops have to match. The photos going up on the company's socials from Melbourne can't look drastically different to the ones from Brisbane. And the person organising it wants one supplier to brief, a single quote, and the same hire options, not two sets of local vendors to chase and cross their fingers on.

That's why companies book one supplier for multi-city events. Big Light Letters is the only national end-to-end light up letter brand in Australia offering hire across Melbourne and Brisbane, wholesale Australia-wide, and are opening new locations.

Here are three recent bookings that show how our multi-city hire works and why it's the right choice for your next event.

Premium 1.2m light up letters for clients like The Arc Agency - a design industry leader running recurring events across Australian cities. Pictured: Light up letters with our remote control coloured bulbs.

Auto brand awards nights in Melbourne and Brisbane

Mitsubishi ran its 2026 dealer awards nights across both cities - one at a major Melbourne event venue, one at a leading Brisbane hotel. Same brief and same look with our 1.2m light up numbers spelling the year with bulbs set to red, set up identically in each city so the stage looked the part whether guests were in Melbourne or Brisbane.

Milestone display across Melbourne and Brisbane offices

Envest marked its 10-year anniversary with a week-long display in its office foyers - in both Melbourne and Brisbane. '10' 1.2m light up numbers paired with a 3m organic balloon garland in the company's brand colours, installed for a full week in each foyer and standardised across both offices, so staff and visitors in either city walked into the same celebration.

Company 20th anniversary event across Melbourne, Brisbane (and Gold Coast)

De Jonge Read marked 20 years with events in three cities: SEA LIFE Melbourne, SOKO Rooftop in Brisbane and Southport Yacht Club on the Gold Coast. The core setup was the same at each one: 1.2m light up letters spelling '20 YEARS', stacked over two tiers, in front of a shimmer wall. That kept the main photo moment identical across all three. The accents changed to suit each venue: faux florals at SEA LIFE Melbourne, a balloon garland on the SOKO rooftop, and balloon columns in the brand colours at Southport Yacht Club.

Gaming retail Q4 event across Melbourne and Brisbane

EB Games ran its Q4 event, branded EB Games Connect and ZiNG, in four states, and the national event agency coordinating it booked us to deliver the Melbourne and Brisbane events: General Assembly on South Wharf in Melbourne, and Madame Wu on Eagle Street in Brisbane. Both cities got the same spec: a blue shimmer wall in our standard 2.4m x 2.4m size, with a 3m balloon garland in the brand colours of red, black, white and blue. Each venue was set up the same, so the photo wall matched across both events.

Why companies book one supplier across locations

Whether it's an awards night, a milestone anniversary, a conference or a product launch, national events come with the same requirement: consistency.

When we handle both cities, you get:

One point of contact - brief us once, not city by city

Standardised hire items - the same letters, numbers and backdrops in every location, so the event looks identical on the night and in the photos

Delivery, install and collection handled in each city - no local vendor to source, vet or manage

One quote - the process is simplified, not doubled

From stadium-scale productions to a single foyer display, Big Light Letters is the trusted multi-city supplier for events across Melbourne and Brisbane with over 250+ 5-star Google reviews across locations. Head to our live inventory book online to lock in your event dates.

Delivery, install and collection handled in-house by our team across Melbourne and Brisbane - from major sporting fixtures at MCG or Suncorp Stadium, to tradeshows at MCEC or BCEC, corporate events at Crown Melbourne, or The Star Brisbane - our team have done it all.

Demand is growing - and heading to Sydney and Perth

Multi-location bookings are picking up, with several more Melbourne/Brisbane dual events booked in the coming months.

There's a clear pattern in these conversations: nearly every client booking across multiple cities asks the same question "do you have an office in Sydney?" with Perth close behind.

This is a business people look for before it exists in their city. Big Light Letters gets Sydney event enquiries every week and already sees consistent web traffic from Sydney and Perth - demand arriving ahead of supply. A franchisee opening in either city takes orders from a warm market, not one built from scratch.

It also runs differently to most franchises. National and multi-city events are coordinated centrally through our Brisbane head office, so a new franchisee receives large corporate bookings routed to them - marketing, quoting and client management handled centrally, while they deliver the event locally. Less admin, less cold outreach, more setups.

And we don't rely on selling franchises to survive - the hire business stands on its own. We open new locations only where demand is already proven. Sydney and Perth are next because the demand is already there. Read more about our franchise locations here.
