Not all event planners go down the route of ‘normal’ chair and table hire for their event, and bar stool hire is just one of the alternatives. Of course, the type of event furniture you choose very much depends upon the nature of the event and, with a world of choice at your fingertips in today’s event furniture rental market, you can be sure of being able to find exactly what you are looking for.
Stool hire is always a popular choice with event professionals nationwide here at Event Hire UK as it offers a piece of furniture that is somewhat less ‘formal. And that certainly seems to be the trend in the market at the moment, for more informality. Ultimately, this reflects the world of business as a whole, where both professionalism and informality meet. Many companies and organisations, therefore, choose to reflect this ethos in their corporate events for clients, employees, shareholders and others.
Bar stools are a great option for furnishing event spaces, and not just for bar areas. Combined with poseur tables, you can create professionally styled mini-meeting areas, networking zones, or simply areas for your guests and delegates to enjoy a drink and a chat, or even browse their laptop or tablet in comfort – the choice really is yours!
So, with all this in mind, in today’s blog, we’re having a look at how bar stool hire could potentially be an option for you and your event, choosing from the extensive range available here online with the experts at Event Hire UK.
Hospitality is big business. And there’s no doubt that event planners are under pressure in today’s market to get this right. Your hospitality lounge at a big sports event might be hosting VIPs, dignitaries, major clients and sponsors and other key people involved in the event. You can’t afford to scrimp and save in these areas when it comes to event furniture hire.
What you CAN do, however, is furnish your hospitality lounge with stool hire and poseur tables, maintaining a professional look yet bringing that air of informality. Yes, of course, certain events still call for a sit-down meal set-up, and you’ll find plenty of tables and chairs for hire for events right here online. However, you can still have serving staff bringing food and drink to the high tables and poseur tables.
We’d recommend our Rio stool for these types of hospitality lounges, as the Rio stool has a polished chrome frame and a wide range of fabric and faux leather covers from which you can choose, enabling you to match up your event furniture with your existing styling or decor. They are comfortable, with a back, and a footrest to complete the design. The Rio stool really is a great option, and combines well with not only regular poseur tables, but also with the matching Rio high table which you can find here online.
Think of post-conference bar events, a major organisation get-together with hundreds or thousands of employees, and so on, and you get a feel for where bar stool hire is useful, especially from a space-saving point of view.
It’s obvious that a poseur table and 4 stools take up less space than a round table and chairs, so when space is tight, and you’re expecting lots of guests, bar stool hire and poseur tables are the way forward! For these types of corporate events, we’re thinking our Roma stool is a great option. With a polished chrome base and post, adjustable height and a faux leather seat which is available in different colour options, this would be the perfect solution.
Of course, not all events are the same, and even when it comes to corporate hospitality, the styling of different events can be worlds apart. Very much in-vogue at the moment are industrial warehouse style events, where the furniture selection is rustic and base-metal orientated.
Our scaffold high tables along with Tolix stools are ideal for this type of event, which is sure to live long in the memory! Tolix stools are available in a variety of colours, with their base metal appearance, and our scaffold tables are exactly that – made from reclaimed scaffolding timber and poles, providing a rustic finish which is sure to be remarked upon by your guests.
We’ve already mentioned the fact that stools and poseur tables are a great space-saving solution, and nowhere is this more evident than at trade show and exhibition venues, where companies pay for an exhibition space based on the square footage. The bigger the space, the more expensive it is. Therefore, bar stool hire is a great option, and we’re thinking that our Z stool offers professional styling and a degree of comfort with its padded seat.
Of course, bar stool hire is also useful for placing behind reception counters, so that your operatives can provide an effective service, greeting your guests as they arrive. Our Rebus stool – which is available in a number of different colour options – or the Oro stool are firm favourites for this scenario, as well as our booking stool. All these stools have gas-lift adjustable height, so that they are both stylish and comfortable.
For café and catering areas in an exhibition venue, for instance, or in the public areas at a large sports event, you will want a wipe-clean stool which is hard wearing. To this end, our café stool is lightweight, durable, and all-metal so it is wipe-clean. Combine this bar stool with poseur tables or high tables, and you have the winning formula for any catering area.
Hopefully, this information about bar stool hire in different settings has provided you with some valuable information that you can take away and then revisit as part of your event planning process.
When that time comes, we’d hope that you’ll pay us a visit and place your secure order for bar stool hire and other event furniture hire with the experts here at Event Hire UK. We’re here to keep life easy, affordable and hassle-free, and we very much look forward to hearing from you soon.
