Think of event furniture, and the chances are that you’re thinking of tables and chairs. That’s fair enough, but event furniture hire is much more than this, with lounge furniture hire being just one of the other elements available, which includes sofa and armchair hire.
With the huge variety of events and occasions that take place throughout the year across the UK, it’s no surprise, therefore, that sofa hire and armchair hire is a popular choice with event professionals. From corporate chalet hospitality chalet reception areas through to arena Christmas party nights and backstage at festivals and concerts, lounge furniture rental really does fit the bill in many different settings.
So, what are the benefits of sofa and armchair hire for live events, weddings and other occasions? Let’s have a look in more detail…
Whatever your event, it goes without saying that you will want to create a great first impression. As they say, first impressions count, and you only get one chance at this! Visitors, delegates and guests attending your event expect to be treated to a day out, which begins the very moment that they step into your event venue. Reception areas, therefore, at high profile events are a great example of where sofa and armchair hire, and lounge furniture hire in general, is always in demand. If you’ve got your reception area well set up to provide a fast and efficient welcome service to your guests, then there shouldn’t be much sitting around!
That said, it’s always a good idea to have the availability of informal seating in these types of areas. Position some modern sofas and armchairs around your event reception area, in matching colours, and this really does go a long way in creating the first impression you are hoping for, along with the professionally-styled reception counter, and no doubt a few plants to add a bit of greenery.
One of the most obvious reasons for hiring sofas and armchairs is the fact that they are comfortable. All sofa and armchair hire products are cushioned throughout, and so make great seating options for break-out areas. Especially at events such as conferences and wedding receptions, for instance, where your guests are expected to be seated for prolonged periods of time, the chance to relax a bit and enjoy a coffee on a sofa is likely to be much appreciated!
When it comes to event furniture rental, you’ll be looking to choose pieces that are in-keeping with the look, feel and tone of your event. Here at Event Hire UK, we offer a wide range of sofas and armchairs for hire, from modern faux leather settees through to classic Chesterfield sofas and armchairs in both leather and fabric. There’s no doubt that you can achieve a stylish finish when you choose sofa and armchair hire for events – we’re big fans here at Event Hire UK!
With more and more large organisations holding big corporate conferences in ‘blank-canvas’ event spaces, there is always a need to furnish these – often cavernous – spaces with bulky furniture, and this is where renting sofas and armchairs comes into its own. A 3 seater sofa, for instance, compared to a club chair, for instance, fills up a lot of space, and so is the obvious choice.
At the same time, there is no doubt that event sofa rental is a much more affordable option than buying the equivalent. Yes, the best sofas and armchairs for hire require a little extra investment to achieve the look you want, but the reality is that you will save thousands of pounds if you are hiring in multiples. And that’s not even mentioning the fact that you don’t have to worry about the storage or maintenance between events, nor the fact that the sofas you have purchased have gone out of fashion!
Sofa and armchair hire is ideal for creating little networking areas around your event venue. Many a business deal is closed over a chat and a drink in a relaxed environment, and so hire a couple of sofas, a couple of armchairs and a coffee table, and you’ve got individual areas for key decision-makers to interact, in comfort.
Of course, lounge furniture hire is not just all about sofa and armchair hire, and also include club chairs, beanbags and other event furniture that is well worth consideration. With this in mind, why not take a few minutes to browse our complete range here online at Event Hire UK.
