We're proud to deliver event hire to the American Museum. Some of the items we can deliver include:

The American Museum near Bath hosts weddings ranging from intimate ceremonies to large celebrations for up to 120 seated guests. For these events, we supply varied furniture including wooden cross-back chairs for indoor spaces and robust folding tables for marquee setups on the South Lawn. Our inventory covers essential catering equipment for professional kitchens, along with glassware, cutlery, and crisp linen suitable for formal dining. Whether you are planning a relaxed reception in the Stables or a traditional meal, we provide the equipment required for your layout.

When planning your equipment requirements, consider the specific dimensions of the five available spaces. The Coach House and Stables have fixed architectural features that influence seating capacity and flow. If you opt for a marquee on the South Lawn, remember to include flooring and lighting in your order to account for uneven ground and evening conditions. We recommend calculating your total guest count early to determine the exact number of tables and chairs needed to maintain comfortable access for your catering team and service staff.

Expo Hire provides delivery services to the American Museum and the wider Bath area seven days a week. Our logistics team handles the transport of all hired furniture and catering items directly to the venue. Delivery and collection costs are calculated based on the distance from our depot to the site. Please provide clear access details for our drivers when you confirm your booking, as this helps us manage the schedule for your specific event date and keeps your logistics running according to plan.

The American Museum near Bath hosts a variety of weddings, ranging from intimate civil ceremonies to large receptions for 200 guests. Organisers frequently hire our cross back chairs or Cheltenham chairs to suit the historic atmosphere of the Coach House and Stables. For larger celebrations on the South Lawn, we supply trestle tables for dining and round tables for social seating. We also provide white tablecloths, professional glassware, and heavy duty catering equipment to support external kitchen teams working within the museum grounds.

Planning for this venue requires careful consideration of the specific space you choose. If you are hosting a reception in the Stables, measure your floor plan to confirm the layout allows for movement between tables. For marquee weddings on the South Lawn, remember to order enough banquet tables and chairs to accommodate your full guest list, plus extra service tables for catering staff. Always check your site plan against the indoor capacity limits before you finalise your equipment order to avoid logistical issues.
