So, without further ado, let’s have a look at our 5 pointers to help you find the best bar hire Manchester.
When it comes to portable bar hire for events in Manchester, it’s certainly not the case that one style of bar fits every event. The type of events that take place in Manchester and Greater Manchester as a whole is hugely diverse, from corporate events, sports occasions and conferences, for instance, all the way through to family celebrations at home, and everything in between. The type of bar you want, therefore, is going to differ, as you’ll want it to suit your event. Is it an ultra-modern corporate event? Or perhaps a traditional ale-house bar look you’re going for?
Here at Event Hire UK, you can choose from a wide range of bar hire Manchester options, including our modular ZIP bars for modern events, country kitchen style oak top bar units, foldable bar units and even solid mahogany ale-house bars sections for hire. We really do have the complete range of styles, all of which are available in large numbers.
The second consideration is how big do you need your bar to be. Typically speaking, it stands to reason that the bigger your event space, and the larger the guest numbers, the bigger you will need your bar to be, to accommodate everyone and provide a fast and efficient bar service. After all, no one wants to queue for a drink at an event!
We mentioned above the word ‘modular’. This means that you can hire individual sections of bar hire Manchester and put them side by side to create the size of bar you need. Some of our bars only come in straight sections, so you can create only straight line bars. Some, however, such as our ZIP bar, come in straight sections, curved sections, low counters, right-angled corners, and so on, meaning that you can create a bar hire Manchester set-up of the shape and size you need, from straight line bars through to circular bars and even oval bars for events – the choice really is yours!
At the point, you might be wondering what on earth we are talking about when it comes to dry hire bars and wet hire bars. A bit like if you are dry hiring a venue, it means that you are hiring just the venue and not anything else. When it comes to bars, dry hire bar Manchester means that you are just hiring the physical bar sections, and nothing else. On the other hand, a wet hire bar would mean the bar sections, the drinks, beer pumps, coolers, drinks and even the staff.
A dry hire bar comes into its own when you are not charging your guests for drinks – in other words, you have purchased the drinks and are providing this as a service to them. You often find this at corporate events, in VIP lounges and so on.
Here at Event Hire UK, we only provide a dry hire bar service.
Reputation is everything for the best bar hire Manchester companies, and it’s important that you put your faith in a bar hire company in Manchester that is going to provide you with the products you need along with the service you need. Let’s face it, the last thing you want in the lead up to a busy event is to be worrying about where your equipment hire Manchester items are, whether they are going to arrive at the correct place, in the correct numbers, and whether they are actually going to arrive at all! Put your faith in an expert bar hire Manchester company that has years of experience in this field!
And finally, we mentioned at the start that Event Hire UK has a local sales and distribution centre in the Manchester area. But why is this important? Well, firstly, hiring locally means that we’re able to provide a proactive service when things change – after all, event planning never goes 100% to plan, does it! Secondly, your transport costs will be minimised by hiring locally. And thirdly, because the distance between your event venue in Manchester and our local distribution centre is small, it means that the carbon impact of our operations is minimised – something that we should all be aware of as part of our daily professional and personal lives.
So, hopefully, this article has provided you with an insight into what to look for when you need to find the best event bar hire Manchester company. By keeping these points in mind, it should save you some time, money and effort.
