Testimonials

Organisers who’ve had us on site

Festival organisers, touring production managers and council event teams. Their words, not ours.

Somersault Productions have been the supplier of our festival tent for the last 14 years and always do an amazing job. They are great to deal with, always make the magic happen and are an integral part of our festival’s operations.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Somersault Productions for over ten years and can highly recommend their Big Top Solutions for anyone looking for a high-quality, versatile event space.

Their large, fully floored structures provide an excellent multi-use solution for events of all sizes, offering both flexibility and a professional finish. What really stands out, though, is the team behind the product. No challenge seems too big for Sandro and the Somersault team. They are incredibly capable, solutions-focused and committed to delivering a great outcome.

If you’re planning an event and need a large, adaptable and professionally delivered marquee solution, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Somersault Productions and their Big Top Solutions.

We (3vent Productions) had the pleasure of working with Somersault Productions for the Ultimate Frisbee World Championships, where they supplied a large big-top tent for the event.

The team at Somersault were fantastic to deal with, providing professional, friendly and reliable service throughout the process. The quality of their tent was excellent, and it was a great addition to the event.

As a Gold Coast event management company, we really appreciate working with suppliers who deliver quality equipment and dependable service, and Somersault certainly did just that.

We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Somersault Productions and look forward to working with them again on future events.
