The 5 different types of event table rental

Check out today's blog about event table rental and the different types available for different venues and events.
event table rental

Almost any temporary occasion that you can think of needs event table rental. A gala dinner, yes. An office meeting, yes. A graduation ceremony, yes. A wedding, yes. A polling station, yes. The list could go on forever, to be honest, but you get the idea.

It’s just as well, therefore, that Event Hire UK offers you an extensive range of event table rental from which you can make your choice of the ones that are going to be most suitable for you and your event.

It’s definitely not the case that one type of table fits all events. Yes, you might well find a lot of table designs cross over, such as round dining tables and trestle tables, for example, which suit multiple events and occasions, but certainly there are many table types that are particularly suited to certain types of events, some of which we will look at below.

In our opinion, event table rental falls into 5 broad categories, so let’s have a look at these below, shall we?

Banquet tables

The term banquet tables is a very broad term, relating to tables that are used for banqueting events such as gala dinners, award ceremonies, society balls, weddings and so on. In other words, wherever there is a sit-down meal involved for your guests, then banquet table hire will be needed. Banqueting table hire is available from Event Hire UK in big quantities – indeed, we’d say the most extensive stock holding in the country, which enables us to service multiple events at the same time, nationwide.

The most common banquet tables are round banquet tables for hire, which start at 3ft diameter and go all the way up to 7ft round banquet tables, with the most popular being 6ft round banquet table hire. On the other hand, you’ll find rectangular trestle tables also to be highly in demand throughout the year.

Again, these rectangular banquet tables are available in a range of sizes both in terms of length and width, so take your pick from our available range – we’re sure you’ll find what you are looking for.

Poseur tables & high tables

Elbow height tables always make for a great option at events, as they are highly versatile – you can either have people standing at them or seated with stools. Poseur tables typically have a circular or square heavy base and a single post that rises up to a round or square tabletop, which is available in a variety of different colour options.

Great from a space-saving point of view, poseur table hire is always available here at Event Hire UK and again, we have one of the largest stocks of event table rental anywhere in the UK. In a similar vein, high tables are the same height as poseur tables, but are generally rectangular and used for informal, casual dining such as buffets, for instance.

Our high tables include our dual piazza high table with a melamine top (so there is no need for a tablecloth), or scaffold high table hire which is exactly that – a high table made from reclaimed scaffolding timbers and metal poles, offering a rustic, industrial look. Whatever poseur or high tables you need, we’re sure you’ll find what you need right here online.

Bistro tables

You can count on Event Hire to provide you with the complete range of event table hire for any and every setting. Bistro table hire is one of those sections which is often called upon, but you perhaps don’t know them as bistro tables – you might be thinking café tables or small dining tables, for instance. Typically, bistro tables have a round or square tabletop and can accommodate up to 4 people seated around them each. Often used for casual and informal dining areas, you can hire bistro tables at affordable prices…and don’t forget the chairs!

Coffee tables

Coffee table hire enables you to accessorise even the most cavernous event spaces in a luxurious and fashionable way, when combined with lounge furniture, for example. You can create pockets of networking areas around your event venue with coffee table and sofa hire, so that your guests can not only network, but also relax and socialise in comfort. Often overlooked and underestimated, coffee tables are a great example of affordable event table rental and what can be achieved on or below budget.

Catering tables complete the list of event table rental

Completing our list of event table rental items today are catering tables. Here’s we’re thinking steel prep tables, polytop tables and others – in other words, tables that are used in the back-of-house catering kitchens by your professional catering team. It’s vital that you provide them with all the equipment they need, not just commercial catering appliances, but also tables and other basic furniture!
