      How To Choose And Hire Event Furniture and Chairs

      November 20, 2016

      If you need to hire corporate event chairs or rent event furniture, you need to do some clever planning.

      How much event furniture do you need?
      This will depend on how many guests you have, what type of function, and what type of guests. For example, if you have many older guests they will need a place to rest.

      If you have toddlers at your event they will need highchairs while kids under 12 will need children's chairs and tables as adult-sized furniture will be too low for them to eat easily at the table. 

      How much furniture will also depend on the style of event you have.

      For example, a cocktail function where everyone mingles and moves around will need a fraction of the seats - and not even the same type of seats - of a formal dinner where everyone must be seated.

      And then, the style of the function will determine the type of furniture required.

      A country-themed event may call for hay bales and pallet benches while a classy garden party could suit Chippendale or peacock chairs.

       

      Hire Event Furniture

      Here's a quick guide to hiring event furniture, thinking about what theme they go with, whether they are good for indoor or outdoor, etc.

      Hire special event chairs

       

      Peacock chairs - dramatic and fabulous at your store opening or product launch.
      Rattan egg chair - great for giving your beach theme event that boho feeling.
      Tiffany chairs - ideal for the more traditionally glamorous corporate event or charity gala
      Ghost chairs - a versatile chair for indoor event, they fit with almost any theme. Even better with their transparency they don't take up visual space.
      Wooden fold up chairs - light, simple and easy to set up and move. Perfect for an outdoor beach or garden venue space.
      Acrylic princess chairs - perfect for a very girly or feminine themed vintage event.
      Dark mahogany bentwood chairs - beautiful for an indoor rustic or woodland themed event.

       

      Hire event sofas

      Special event sofas are a great way for your guests to relax their sore feet and to create a conversation corner. However they can be hard for pregnant (or elderly) guests to get out of, and sometimes stops guests from mingling as they are just too comfortable to leave!

      They are a great addition if you have a huge venue as they can create a very welcoming vibe, cleverly absorb the space of a large venue to create a more intimate setting. 

      Event sofas can also add to your theme: for example, adding a bentwood chair can create a vintage style, while cane sofas are great for a laidback beach theme party.

      Event table hire

       

      Rattan coffee table - Give your guests a place to relax and set down their drinks while watching the sunset at your beach venue.
      Wireframe cocktail bar table - Enhance your guests experience with tables that suit the space. 

      Rustic long dining table - Create a lolly bar or a grazing table on this piece perfect for a garden, rustic or woodland themed event.

       

       

       Hire stools

       

      Stools are made for cocktail parties or when people are mingling briefly and moving around an area.

      They have a "temporary" quality to them because they don't have a chair back for people to rest on which creates a lively and fun vibe where everyone can mingle with each other.

      Metal Tolix stools - Create an industrial vibe with metal stools scattered around a warehouse venue.
      Pallet bench cocktail bar stool - Great for a rustic outdoor event, these are great for guests to sit and watch the sunset at you winery or regional event.
