OK, so table and chair rentals for events is unlikely to be at the top of your consideration list when it comes to planning an event. That said, it’s one of those elements that deserves to be given some degree of attention, usually after you’ve decided on the venue, space, and theme or concept of your event.
Ultimately, furniture rentals for events is available in big numbers from a variety of furniture rental companies UK nationwide, so you are almost spoilt for choice in terms of furniture rental options to furnish your venue or setting.
In today’s blog, we’re having a look at our 5 important things to remember when it comes to table and chair rental for events.
Different occasions need different table and chair rentals for events
Think of table and chair rentals for events, and the chances are that you’re thinking about round banqueting tables and Chiavari chairs for a wedding. Or maybe you’re thinking about round tables and banqueting chairs at an awards ceremony. These are just two of the examples of settings for where you might need to hire tables and chairs.
If you have a look at the event types on our website, you can find a whole host of suggestions of tables and chairs for hire for different settings. In other words, it’s definitely NOT the case of one type of table and chair fits every event type. As well as table and chair rental for weddings and award ceremonies, think of conferences, society balls, corporate hospitality events, Christmas parties and so on – the list is almost endless for where you need to hire tables and chairs for events.
Tables and chairs can be modern as well as traditional
And talking of table and chair rentals for events, it’s worth noting that the different types of these furniture hire items lend themselves better than others to certain settings. We’d class traditional tables and chairs as being the wedding tables and chairs combos that we’ve already mentioned.
However, modern tables and chairs for hire such as Rio dining tables and Rio chairs lend themselves perfectly to professional events, including corporate hospitality, sports events, VIP lounges and stadium dining spaces, for instance. Modern furniture hire without the need to hire tablecloths and other linen, for instance, is very much on-trend at the moment, and you can certainly choose table and chair rentals for events such as these right here online with the event furniture rental experts at Event Hire UK!
You get what you pay for when it comes to table and chair rentals for events
There’s no doubt that you get what you pay for when it comes to table and chair rental for events, just in the same way as everything else – in other words, event furniture hire is no different. Due to the competitive nature of renting round tables or trestle tables with banqueting chairs such as Chiavari chairs, Napoleon chairs and cross back chairs, for instance (in other words, these are usually readily available from the majority of furniture hire UK companies), modern or more unusual tables and chairs for hire often come with a premium price tag, purely because you won’t find these elsewhere.
Are these items worth the additional investment when it comes to you choosing the best table and chair rental for events? For sure, so long as they fit the setting you are furnishing, we’d suggest that they most definitely are!
We’ve written many blogs about the benefits of hiring furniture vs buying furniture, and it goes without saying that the most cost-effective option is to hire furniture for events. The reality is that the difference between hiring a trestle table and a Rio dining table is not very much all in the grand scheme of things, and certainly worth spending a little more to achieve that professional look and finish that your visitors expect.
Matching table and chair rentals look impressive
Wherever you choose to source your table and chair rentals for events from (of course, we hope it is us!), then always make sure that your preferred table and chair hire company is able to provide you with matching chairs and tables in the quantities you need.
There’s nothing worse than having to ‘top up’ quantities with a different colour of chair, or a table of a different type to make up the numbers. The best events use matching furniture, and the best furniture hire companies UK know this. Without doubt, this is an important consideration to bear in mind when looking at table and chair rentals for events.
Keep your client’s branding in mind
And finally, talking about bearing things in mind, don’t forget that if you are choosing table and chair rental for events such as corporate hospitality, then you need to keep your client’s branding in mind. If it’s a sit-down dinner, then why not choose to hire tablecloths in their colour to go on your round tables or trestle tables.
If you’re going down the route of our Rio dining tables, for instance, as you can see (pictured), it is possible to brand these tables, but always make sure that the branding vinyl is easily removed, as otherwise you will be charged the item’s replacement fee. Professional event planners are fully aware of this, and always have branding at the forefront of their minds when choosing table and chair hire for events, and even when it comes to opportunities to brand non-furniture related items, they are all over it!
Table and chair rentals for events, therefore, should be straightforward, and that’s what we aim to offer here at Event Hire UK – the complete range, at the best prices, and all backed up by the best service, as part of our event furniture hire range.
