Our Story
Once upon a time, in the vibrant land of New Zealand, a company was born that brought the magic of Bollywood to life www.bollywoodparty.co.nz From 2009, we have danced to the rhythm of Bollywood beats, prested cultural aspects through the costumes food and decor.
Our story is one of passion and dedication, proudly serving the Kiwi community with authentic Indian culture. Each shimmering costume creates unforgettable memories for everyone.
At the heart of our tale is Anju Desai, our Creative Director for the Bollywood Party in NZ and founder of the Bollywood Costume Hire studio is the driving force behind our success. With a mischievous sparkle in her eyes and a boundless imagination, Anju started this enchanting journey. Her endless ideas and relentless pursuit of perfection ensure that every moment at our Bollywood Party is nothing short of extraordinary.
Anju’s Artistic Journey: A talented graphic designer and artist, Anju effortlessly juggled a graphic business and painting classes in the community. A delightful twist came her way when an opportunity to explore a Bollywood dancing class was offered to her. Embracing this chance with her adventurous spirit, Anju used her childhood dance and theatre experiences to lead a Bollywood dance class in East Auckland, marking the beginning of a magical journey.
From Dance Class to Hen Party: Anju’s Bollywood dance class quickly gained popularity, leading to her first hen party within 3 months. Despite being new to the concept, Anju trusted her instincts, and the party was a success!
The Birth of Bollywood Costume Hire: After the first party it was a lot of interest in having costumes along with dancing. This sparks the idea of the first-ever New Zealand’s Bollywood Costume Hire. Starting in July 2009 with just five costumes and twenty scarves, the studio has blossomed into a treasure with over a thousand costumes, designer and non-designer labels, with a wide range of accessories.
Award-Winning Glory: From humble beginnings, our studio has achieved award-winning status, earning recognition for its outstanding costumes both nationally and internationally.

Testimonials
Real stories, real experiences.
I used Bollywood Party in New Zealand for a costume hire, Anju (the owner) is absolutely incredible from the start to the very finish of the process! She helped my husband and I into our chosen outfits, gave us some dance tips, and the quality of the costumes are amazing! On top of it all, Anju is an absolute pleasure to deal with; she is so kind, patient, funny, and accommodating, and she deals with wonderful professionalism and care for her clients. I would use it again just for the fun of the experience, and I recommend her 100 fold over! Thank you 🙂

Had such fun last night dressed up in the most beautiful sari. I felt like a princess! If you’ve got a Bollywood themed anything coming up, party, dance etc. then call Anju Desai from bollywoodparty.co.nz she is incredible and will sort you out a 10/10 experience!! Putting my normal clothes back on today makes me sad. So boring… Thank you Colin Mathura-Jeffree for a MOST wonderful night. ♥ Party of the Year for sure

“From the moment I met Anju I felt at ease and it was like chatting to a friend. She dressed me and my husband, and as someone who doesn’t really like dress-up/themed parties, as soon as I saw the beautiful saree, that thought went out the window! Anju’s expertise is second to none, her clothes are authentic and truly stunning! Once I had the saree on and all the jewellery (the headgear was a favourite!) I felt like a Bollywood actress!! Do yourself a favour, and don’t go past Anju if you are having a Bollywood party. 10/10”
