Gala dinners and award ceremonies are significant events in the calendar that require a keen eye for detail, especially when it comes to the setup, décor and event furniture hire. These events are all about glitz and glamour, and so you need to ensure that every element of your event planning is working to this cohesive and consistent high standard.
The choice of furniture, particularly seating, plays a pivotal role in defining the atmosphere and can greatly influence the overall guest experience.
Event Hire UK offers a versatile range of event furniture that can transform any venue into an elegant and inviting space. Yes, if you look at our website, we offer affordable furniture hire (note, NOT cheap furniture hire), but at the same time, the market demands luxury furniture hire as well, so you’ll find a whole host of top quality furniture for hire which will fit the bill for your next gala dinner.
Focusing specifically on banqueting chairs, here are our 5 unique ways to utilise event furniture hire at its very best…
Choose chairs that complement the event theme
The first step in creating a memorable event is to align all elements such as your event furniture hire with the chosen theme. Banqueting chairs are available in a variety of styles and colours, making it easy to match them with the event’s decor.
For instance, a classic black-tie gala might call for sophisticated Chiavari chairs in black, silver or gold, while a more modern, artistic awards ceremony could benefit from sleek, contemporary chair designs with bold colours or even transparent banquo chairs, for example. The great thing about many banqueting chair styles is that you can not only choose the frame colour, but you can also choose from different colours of seat pads, providing you with the ultimate in choice for your event chairs.
Utilise chair decor to elevate aesthetics
While the style and colour of the chairs are fundamental, additional decorations can further enhance their impact. Consider adding elegant chair covers, sashes, bows, or even unique embellishments like floral arrangements or bespoke fabrics that tie in with the event’s colour scheme.
These details not only make the seating more visually appealing, but also add a touch of luxury and exclusivity, making guests feel like they are part of a special occasion. Open back chairs such as Chiavari chairs, cross back chairs and Napoleon chairs, for instance, offer the perfect opportunity to accessorise your chairs in the best way possible.
Create dynamic seating layouts
The arrangement of seating can significantly affect how guests interact with the space and each other. With this in mind, as well as considering banqueting chairs, why not look to furnish your event space with luxury sofas and armchairs as part of our lounge furniture hire range.
Event furniture hire such as this is available in different materials such as leather, fabric and velour, and also available in a range of different colours within these materials, it’s easy to see how hiring lounge furniture such as this can help to elevate an event space. Remember, it’s always good to have a chill out area at any event, where your guests can get away from the noise and energy for a while.
Ensure comfort throughout the event
Comfort is key in maintaining a positive guest experience, especially during events that last several hours. High-quality banqueting chairs from Event Hire UK’s event furniture hire range are not only stylish, but also designed to provide superior comfort.
Ensuring that guests are comfortable throughout the event will keep them focused on the entertainment and less on shifting in their seats. Additionally, comfortable seating can encourage longer stays at the event, which is especially important for networking and socializing opportunities, as well as maximising profits at the bar!
Use matching event furniture hire items
This might sound obvious, but you need to remember that the events industry has peaks and troughs. This means that if your event is taking place in the middle of summer – when demand for event furniture hire is at its highest – you need to be ordering well in advance.
If you leave ordering your event furniture hire until the last minute, then you are running the risk of not being able to source the event furniture you need – perhaps not at all, or maybe having to compromise on style, colour or numbers. Let’s face it, no one wants this problem in the lead up to a busy event, and so order early to get the best matching event furniture. As they say, ‘the early bird catches the worm’.
If you are planning a gala dinner, society ball, awards ceremony or other lavish banqueting occasion, then you are definitely in the right place here at Event Hire UK to source all the event furniture hire you need from one place. Don’t hesitate to browse and place your secure order online 24/7 and put your faith in the hands of the experts – you won’t be disappointed!
