Make Aston Hall your perfect setting with Expo Hire.
Booking Aston Hall wedding hire requires equipment that matches the gravitas of a Grade I listed Jacobean mansion. You need furniture and tableware that respects the historic architecture rather than competing with it. Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade event equipment directly to this Birmingham venue. We handle the logistics so you can concentrate on the day itself. Our EventPro® own-brand range features furniture we design specifically for the demanding hire trade. Clients like the BBC, ITV, and Cambridge University trust our stock.
The Long Gallery and other reception spaces demand a thoughtful approach to layout. Chair choice shapes every photograph and dictates the flow of the room. Classic seating works best in period properties, blending with the existing decor.
Chiavari chairs remain a constant for formal dining. Black frames offer sharp sophistication against the period details, while white provides a fresh contrast for lighter floral arrangements. The Wishbone chair brings a sculptural quality to the room, photographing well from all angles. To achieve a more relaxed feel within the grand setting, the Cross Back in oak reads as natural and understated. You can secure all chair hire orders over £500 with a 25% advance deposit, and we never ask for a security deposit.
Round or rectangular banqueting tables form the foundation of your Aston Hall wedding hire. A 6ft circular banqueting table seats 10 guests, creating a sociable atmosphere for the meal. Larger guest lists might require 8ft rounds, seating up to 12 people per table. Calculate your table count based on the specific room capacity, which reaches up to 80 guests for a civil ceremony inside the Hall. During drinks receptions or informal mingling, poseur tables pair with bar stools to give guests a place to rest their glasses. Browse our complete table hire category to check live stock levels.
Textiles pull the dining space together. Crisp white or ivory tablecloths look smart in any historic setting. You can also select subtle colours to match specific themes or floral arrangements. Our inventory includes chair covers to dress up standard seating or add a distinct colour accent to the room. Coordinated napkins complete the table setting. Every order includes a free minor damage waiver, covering accidental spills or small tears during your event. No other UK hire company offers this protection as standard.
Dining requires commercial-grade tableware. Our warehouse stocks crockery hire including dinner plates, starter plates, and dessert plates. Menus featuring soup require proper bowls. Our cutlery hire covers knives, forks, spoons, dessert forks, and tea spoons. We deliver all items clean, polished, and ready for immediate use. When serving drinks, wine glasses and traditional champagne flutes handle the toasts. Specific beer glasses and cocktail glasses support full bar services. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service applies to all crockery, cutlery, and glassware. You pack the items away unwashed, and we handle the cleaning at our Birmingham depot.
Evening receptions often require dedicated drink stations. A bar counter provides a focal point for service. You can order bar equipment, bar accessories, and bulk glassware to keep guests refreshed. Create a chill-out area away from the dance floor using sofas and lounge furniture. Contemporary bean bags offer informal seating for younger guests. Exterior spaces benefit from outdoor furniture and gazebos to provide shelter. As the evening draws in, patio heaters keep the outdoor areas usable long into the night.
Independent caterers often need supplementary equipment to operate in historic venues. Our catering equipment hire range supports full kitchen setups. We stock cooking equipment and fridges and freezers for safe food storage. Bain maries and other warming equipment hold food at safe temperatures during service. Outdoor dining requires BBQ equipment to handle large volumes of meat and vegetables. Serving accessories move food safely from the prep area to the tables.
Logistics matter when dealing with Grade I listed buildings. We deliver directly to the designated reception room or service entrance at Aston Hall. Our drivers coordinate with venue managers to secure access and unload your equipment. We place the items in the correct room, ready for your team to arrange. After the event concludes, we return to collect everything. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our Birmingham headquarters. Live vehicle tracking provides an SMS ETA on the morning of your delivery, allowing you to track the van by order number and postcode.
Civil ceremonies need specific layouts. Small groups of witnesses require formal seating, while ceremony leaders need a lectern. Plan guest movement carefully to prevent bottlenecks during the drinks reception. Modern touches like LED furniture contrast sharply with the Jacobean architecture, creating distinct zones for the evening party. However, classic furniture hire remains the primary choice for this venue.
