The UK is blessed with indoor and outdoor events throughout the year, though with most taking place during the ‘season’ which runs April to September. That’s not to say, however, that events don’t take place at other times of the year – Christmas, for instance, is a huge time of year, where demand for the best furniture rental items is super-high. It’s a time of year when you need to make sure you have booked your furniture hire well in advance to secure it for your event!
Making sure you order well in advance should probably make our guide below, but suffice to say that this should always be at the top of your mind, when hiring at ANY time of year.
So, let’s have a look at our guide to choosing the best furniture rental for your event, whatever your event type, and whatever size it is…
The first point is pretty clear – define your event. In other words, what type of event are you planning? Is it a formal sit-down hospitality or VIP dining event? A canapé and drinks event, maybe? Or perhaps a Christmas party at an arena? Obviously, the type of event you are planning has a direct impact on the type of furniture rental you will need.
Banqueting tables and chairs are ideal for corporate dining affairs, whilst poseur tables and stools at the perfect for canapé events, for instance.
By this, we mean that it is unusual for a large event all to take place in the same ‘room’. A wedding at a large hotel will have the main wedding reception hall and then maybe a bar area and lounge area. Likewise, Christmas party nights at arenas will have the main venue, with some smaller rooms on the side for different purposes.
Suffice to say, then, that whilst you will need furniture rental for the main venue, don’t forget that you might need to also rent furniture for the bar area or lounge area, where your guests can go and get away from the action for a short while. Not everyone is the same, even at party nights!
Remember, there is a world of choice in today’s market, with colour variations of the same product usually available. A coffee table might be available in black, white and beech, whilst a dining chair might be available in a variety of different cover colours.
Even Chiavari banqueting chairs are available in a variety of different frame colours AND with your choice of seat pad colour from our available range here online at Event Hire UK! This provides you with the ultimate in versatility and flexibility, to tie in the colour of your banqueting chairs with your event theme or existing decor.
For any company, reputation is key, and when it comes to you choosing an event furniture rental company, you need to be confident that it is going to deliver what they say they are going to deliver, in the right quantities, to the right location and at the right time.
