Donald and Theresa first met in the spring of 2008 in Dunedin, Otago. They have since spent over a decade together and travelling to different parts of the world accompanied by their little boy. Theresa is originally from Sydney Australia and has a flair for fashion and design. Donald was raised in Alexandra where he developed a passion for outdoor pursuits.

The couple recently married in February 2021 and while planning their wedding, they faced challenges sourcing their perfect products. Wedding venues didn’t offer the styles they preferred and there were limited options at local hire companies. Theresa looked overseas and imported a variety of goods while Donald organised the production of some bespoke Archways. After the wedding, the couple felt the need to create Hillis Hire, so thousands of others can plan their magical day with minimal stress.

Hillis Hire provides customers with a broad range of arches from large wooden designs through to affordable metal kits which can be decorated however the couple see fit. Browse our range of modern and traditional indoor décor to make your wedding sparkle. Package options are available and arches can be selected with or without flower arrangements attached. Once the bride, groom or planner has selected their items, easily add to cart and place your order for a simple collect or delivery experience.
