OK, so chairs might not be THE most exciting topic, but when you need to rent chairs for events, they certainly deserve your attention. We offer plenty of blog articles already on the different types of indoor chairs and outdoor chairs for hire that are available from Event Hire UK, but for the purposes of today’s blog, we’re concentrating on chair hire in general, and some key considerations to bear in mind as part of your event planning process.
Let’s face it, the vast majority of events need to hire chairs, from weddings, sports events, outdoor events, corporate and VIP hospitality occasions, and gala dinners, to name just a few. You can see which chairs suit which events by visiting our event types pages here online on our website, which will offer you different style suggestions for your consideration.
Most event professionals, therefore, need to rent chairs for events, albeit in different styles, in different quantities and in different parts of the country. Suffice to say that Event Hire UK, as a nationwide hire company, is able to service the vast majority of chair hire requirements, offering both an extensive range and stocks of over 50,000 chairs, meaning that we’re able to service multiple events at the same time.
Again, we’re conscious that you won’t necessarily be champing at the bit to sort your event chair rentals out, but spending a few minutes to consider your requirements, and checking out the market, will certainly pay dividends.
So, without further ado, let’s look at our top 5 considerations for when you come to rent chairs for events.
Yes, a chair is a chair – you sit on it. But it’s certainly not the case that one style of chair suits every event. You’re not going to want a wedding chair at a VIP event, nor are you going to want an outdoor chair at an indoor event.
Think carefully about your event styling, its purpose and the overall finish that you’re aiming for. If it’s a wedding, then why not choose the classic Chiavari chair. If it’s a VIP event, check out the Rio chair. And if it’s an outdoor chair, why not consider our patio chair or Nova chair. The range of choice is almost endless when it comes to event chair hire in the UK, and Event Hire UK is just one of the suppliers. There is a world of choice available when you need to rent chairs for events, so do your research, and choose the best style of chair hire for YOUR event or occasion.
When we say ‘accessorised’, we mean dressing your chairs to keep them in line with your existing theme, colours or wedding decor, for instance. We’re thinking flowers, ties, sashes and bows. An example of this is the organza chair tie, which you can find online right here at Event Hire UK. Chairs with open backs are the easiest to accessorise, such as Chiavari chairs, Napoleon chairs, cross back chairs and other banqueting chairs, for instance, and that’s a big reason why these wedding chairs are so popular.
We’ve already touched on this slightly, but it’s worth delving into in more detail. The peak season for events is the summer, when the sun is shining, rather than the depths of winter. Of course, one type of event is the wedding and, again, summer weddings are the most popular of all.
As a result, demand for wedding chair hire and other event chair hire is biggest during these summer months, and so any chair hire company worth their salt needs to have big quantities of chairs available to satisfy demand. It’s OK having different styles available for those people who want to rent chairs for weddings, but it’s also vital to have the quantities available. When you rent chairs for events, you will need them to match!
This is to do with the style of chair you are considering. The majority of banqueting chairs, for instance, have seat pads (which you can select the colour of here at Event Hire UK). However, not all have a seat pad – look at our Tolix chair, for instance, which has almost a base-metal finish. The majority of chairs have the seat pad included in the price, but not always, so check this out when you come to rent chairs for events!
One final consideration when you come to rent chairs for events is the fact that we’d always recommend employing the services of a chair hire company that is based fairly local to you. This is likely to not only increase the service level for any last minute requests, whilst also probably costing you less in transport fees, so this is definitely a consideration!
