The Vintage Timber Crate is the piece stylists reach for when a wedding needs to feel relaxed and real. Set it down at the entrance or under a grazing spread and the room warms up around it, less like a hired venue, more like somewhere a family has always gathered.
Vintage Timber Crate Hire That Looks Genuinely Old
Outside it's weathered to a soft grey; inside the timber is still warm and honey coloured. It carries splits, scuffs, old nail heads and a trace of faded printing along one side, all earned over a working life. That's what makes it useful: put candles, flowers or fruit anywhere near it and they stop looking arranged and start looking at home.
Substantial on the Table, Light in the Hands
At 66cm long it's big enough to be the feature on a welcome table, and at 5.5kg it's an easy two-hand carry, so you can move it around the venue until the spot is right. The top is open and the inside is one clear space that takes florals, bottles, bread boards or rolled blankets without a fuss.
Where It Earns Its Place
Stylists book it for:
- Welcome tables and gift tables at barn and rustic weddings
- Grazing tables, dessert spreads and produce displays
- Market stall bars and country fair stalls
- Photo corners dressed with blooms, bottles or blankets
- Harvest dinners and long lunch styling
- Brand activations that want real vintage texture
It Rarely Goes Out Alone
Most bookings build a bigger picture around it, pairing the crate with timber ladders, milk churns and lanterns from our event prop hire range, or with its lidded partner, the Vintage Timber Box with Lid, until the display looks collected over years rather than delivered that morning.

Answers to your questions
How much does the vintage timber crate cost to hire?
The rate you see on this page is for the crate itself. Delivery is a separate quote based on where your venue is.
Does the crate come with a lid?
No, this one doesn’t have a lid. The Vintage Timber Box with Lid does, and it’s the same aged timber.
Can guests sit or stand on the crate?
No, it’s not built to take a person’s weight. Keep it to florals, bottles and lighter props.
Do you deliver to the Gold Coast and Brisbane?
Yes, we cover the whole stretch, Gold Coast, Tweed and Brisbane. We bring the crate out, set it where you want it and collect it after your event.
How far ahead should I book the crate?
As soon as your date is set. Spring and summer Saturdays fill first, so book online or call 07 5520 4648 and we’ll confirm availability straight away.
