Seasoned event professionals will be well aware that there are a whole host of elements that need to all come together at the same time to produce a successful event. OK, so chair hire is not high up on that list of most memorable items at an event, but it does play a part nonetheless in determining the success or failure of an event.
The art of event planning is continually evolving, and as we step into 2024, the trend of hiring chairs in a variety of styles, colours and finishes to create stunning events is becoming increasingly popular. In today’s blog article, here at Event Hire UK, we offer an insight into how chair hire can transform your event into an unforgettable experience. Creative event professionals know that they can draw on stocks from nationwide chair hire companies, but event planners, who are perhaps newer to the sector, might find the information below useful.
Firstly, it’s crucial to understand the theme and style of your event. Whether it’s a sophisticated corporate function, a whimsical wedding, or a casual get-together, the style of chairs you choose sets the tone. Event Hire UK provides a range of options from elegant Chiavari chairs for weddings to sleek, modern designs for corporate events. It’s definitely not the case that one style of event chair fits every occasion – after all, you’d want to hire different chairs for a wedding than you would a corporate conference event.
A key aspect of chair hire is ensuring both quality and comfort. High-quality chairs not only enhance the visual appeal but also ensure guest comfort. Event Hire UK prides itself on offering well-maintained, sturdy, and comfortable seating options. Short term seating hire is available such as bench seating or folding chair hire, whilst longer term seating is well catered for in the form of cushioned conference chairs and many others. Just choose what you need!
The power of colour coordination and design cannot be overstated. Chairs should complement other elements like table settings, linens, and décor. Event Hire UK offers chairs in various colours and designs, allowing for a seamless integration with your event’s colour scheme. Take a few moments to check out our range of banqueting chairs such as our Chiavaris, cross backs and Napoleons, for instance, and you’ll find that these chairs for hire are not only available in different coloured frames, but you can also choose your seat pad colour from our extensive range, enabling you to match up your furniture with your existing colour theme or decor.
Determining the right quantity and layout is essential. This involves considering the size of the venue, the number of guests, and the event’s format. Event Hire UK’s expertise can help you in planning the layout, ensuring optimal use of space and guest comfort. If space is tight, have you considered the use of poseur tables and stools instead of chairs and dining tables?
Think about the shape and size of your tables, which will ultimately determine the number of chairs you can fit in. And, when you are planning the furniture layout within your event space, remember that you need to leave at least another chair depth behind each chair, to allow the guest a comfortable seating area, without feeling hemmed in at your event.
Finally, consider the logistics. Chair hire in large volumes is a speciality of Event Hire UK. We offer an affordable, nationwide delivery and collection service, which is particularly useful for items such as these. Chairs normally stack in tens for the purposes of transporting them in large numbers. However, these them need specialised handling on-site. We deliver and collect to and from a single, ground-floor point at your venue. Depending upon a number of factors including the time of year, labour and other resource, for instance, we can sometimes offer a layout service to save you some time and effort. Yes, there will be an additional fee involved, but many would say that this is definitely worth it.
In summary, chair hire in 2024 is more than just providing seating; it’s about creating an atmosphere, enhancing comfort, and contributing to the overall success of an event. With Event Hire UK, you have a partner who understands the nuances of event planning and offers solutions to make your event stunning and memorable.
