About Quirky Hire

We create event experiences people remember

Quirky-Hire is a London-based event experience and styling company creating memorable spaces, photo opportunities and interactive brand experiences for corporate events, brand activations, exhibitions, awards ceremonies, product launches and special events.

From statement event styling and immersive photo experiences to custom branded games, backdrops, pipe and drape installations and bespoke event builds, we help transform an idea into an experience guests want to step into, interact with and remember. But Quirky-Hire didn't begin as a large event production company — it started with a photo booth, a desire to do things differently, and a belief that the smallest details can completely change how an experience feels.

From photo booths to complete event experiences

Quirky-Hire was founded by Malvia and Ryan, initially providing photo booth experiences for events across London. Very quickly, we realised that simply turning up with a photo booth wasn't enough — we wanted the experience surrounding it to feel considered too, so we started customising: designing props, creating frames, styling photo areas and developing our own booth concepts.

That approach eventually led to the creation of our signature Halo Pod and became the foundation of how Quirky-Hire works today. Photo booth backdrops became bespoke event backdrops. Backdrops led to balloon installations, pipe and drape, signage and complete event styling. Then brands and agencies began asking us to create experiences specifically for campaigns, launches and corporate events. Today, Quirky-Hire has grown into a multidisciplinary event experience company, combining event styling, photo experiences, branded activations, interactive games and bespoke fabrication under one creative team — the business has changed considerably, our approach hasn't. We still obsess over the details.

More than event hire

We don't see ourselves as simply supplying equipment. Our job is to understand what you are trying to achieve and then work out how the physical experience can help achieve it — creating something people naturally want to photograph and share at a brand activation, transforming an empty area into a premium arrival experience for an awards ceremony, or combining draping, lighting, a branded backdrop and a photo experience into one cohesive environment for a corporate event.

Why clients choose Quirky-Hire

A great idea still has to fit through the loading bay. Our creative thinking is always balanced with the practical realities of producing live events — dimensions, access, installation times, guest flow, venue requirements, power, transport and de-rig are considered from the beginning. Because we work across several event disciplines, we can bring multiple parts of an experience together through one team, meaning fewer suppliers to coordinate and a more cohesive result.

Meet Malvia & Ryan

Quirky-Hire is led by Malvia and Ryan, combining creativity, problem-solving and hands-on event delivery. We're still closely involved in every project that comes through the business — discussing concepts with clients, testing new experiences, sourcing materials and sometimes standing inside a venue at an unreasonable hour making sure everything is ready before the doors open.
