The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything.
Aylesbury and the surrounding areas deserve event hire that understands local needs. We’ve been kitting out everything from garden parties on the outskirts of town to corporate functions at the Waterside Theatre for years. We know what works here, and importantly, what doesn’t.
What kind of events are we talking about? Everything, really. We see a lot of family celebrations – birthdays, anniversaries, retirement parties – often held in village halls or garden marquees. The classic 6ft round banqueting tables are a staple for these, seating around 10 guests each, and we’ve got plenty of tablecloths to cover them. For more informal gatherings, perhaps a summer BBQ or a more relaxed wedding reception, our trestle tables are incredibly versatile. They’re good for buffet setups or can be arranged for communal dining.
Exhibitions and trade shows crop up too, especially with Aylesbury’s proximity to Milton Keynes. We supply simple yet effective display tables and showcases for product launches. And then there are the larger community events. We’ve supplied equipment for fetes and local festivals, where our gazebos often provide much-needed shelter, and our benches offer seating.
Thinking about venues, the chairs you choose really set the tone. For a more formal event, our Chiavari chairs are popular – the gold ones look particularly smart against the backdrop of many local venues, but white is always a clean, classic choice. For a slightly more relaxed feel, especially for barn weddings or country house events near Aylesbury, the Cross Back chairs in oak have become a real favourite. They read as natural and inviting.
For drinks, a bar area is crucial. We have everything from simple poseur tables and stools for a standing reception, to more substantial bar units themselves. If you’re planning a cocktail party, then the right cocktail glasses are a must. We stock a wide range, from martini glasses to coups. And of course, for wine, we have a good selection of wine glasses, as well as champagne flutes for toasts.
Catering equipment is another big part of what we do. For events where food is being prepared on-site, you’ll likely need cooking equipment – our commercial ovens and hobs are reliable. We also supply essential fridge hire to keep things fresh, and warming equipment like bain maries to keep hot food at the right temperature. Don't forget serving equipment like chafing dishes and platters.
People in this area tend to go for practical but attractive solutions. They might need crockery that’s robust enough for busy service but also looks good on the table. Our standard white plates and bowls are always a safe bet. Similarly, cutlery – we offer everything from standard sets to more modern designs. It’s often the little things that make a difference, like having enough napkins for each guest, or considering the beer glasses if it’s a more casual function.
For outdoor events, especially those happening in the warmer months, patio heaters are a must-have. Evenings can get chilly quite quickly in Buckinghamshire, and these make a huge difference to guest comfort, extending the usability of your outdoor space. We also supply gazebos for cover from sun or light rain – they’re surprisingly popular for all sorts of events, from market stalls to pop-up bars.
We also see demand for more relaxed seating options. Sofas and lounge furniture can transform a corporate event space into a networking area, or add a touch of comfort to a wedding reception. Our bean bags are a fun addition for more casual, family-friendly events.
