Birtsmorton Court Wedding Hire

The reception space matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to weddings and events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything.

Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. Chiavari chairs are the wedding staple: black gives sharp sophistication, white gives a fresh airy feel, limewash gives rustic warmth that suits barns and country houses. The Wishbone chair adds a sculptural quality that makes for strong wedding photos. The Cross Back in oak reads as relaxed and natural, a favourite at vineyard and garden weddings. For Birtsmorton Court, with its historical charm and grounds, the Chiavari in ivory or the Cross Back oak often work particularly well, echoing the manor’s timeless appeal. We also have the White Scandi-style chair, which offers a cleaner, contemporary look that can surprisingly complement older venues.

Table hire is fundamental. For a traditional wedding breakfast, 6ft round tables seating 10 people are a common choice, fostering conversation. If you prefer a more formal setup, 1.8m rectangular tables are excellent for longer, banquet-style arrangements. You might even mix and match, using round tables for guest seating and a long top table for the wedding party. Considering the scale of Birtsmorton Court, a combination of these can create dynamic seating plans.

Linen adds the finishing touch. Our tablecloths come in a range of colours and fabrics, from crisp white damask to natural linens that suit a more relaxed theme. Napkins to match or contrast complete the look. Chair covers can transform the look of any chair, but with Birtsmorton Court’s own character, you might find the chairs themselves are beautiful enough. It’s worth considering the overall aesthetic you’re aiming for before deciding on all the linen details.

Glassware is where you can really add detail. For toasts, champagne flutes are essential. For the meal, wine glasses are a must, and offering a choice for red and white is a nice touch. We have various styles, from classic bowled shapes to more modern tapered designs. Don't forget beer glasses for those who prefer a pint, and tumblers for soft drinks and water.

Crockery and cutlery are the workhorses of dining. Plates in various sizes – dinner, starter, dessert – are needed. For a more relaxed feel, consider bowls for starters or desserts. Our standard white porcelain is versatile, but we have other options too. Cutlery sets, including dinner forks, knives, side forks, and dessert spoons, complete the place setting. Having enough of everything is crucial, and we can help you calculate those numbers.

Beyond the main dining area, Birtsmorton Court offers spaces for mingling and relaxation. For a cocktail reception or a lounge area, consider our sofas and lounge chairs. We have contemporary modular seating that can be configured in various ways, or perhaps some stylish bar furniture with poseur tables and stools for a more upright, social atmosphere. If your event extends outdoors, outdoor furniture sets are vital for enjoying the grounds.

For a wedding or event at Birtsmorton Court, you’re likely looking at a reception within the manor itself, or perhaps in the marquee or barn. Regardless of the specific location within the venue, our delivery process is designed to be straightforward. You tell us the room or area where you need the items, and we deliver them directly there. No hauling from a car park, no internal moving – just the equipment placed where you need it, ready for setup.

This means if you're setting up tables in the main hall, your tables and chairs arrive and are placed ready for dressing. If you’re using the barn for a more relaxed vibe, your Cross Back chairs or lounge furniture will be set up in that space. For catering, your fridges and beverage equipment will be delivered to the designated catering area.

The collection process is just as simple. Once your event has concluded, we return to collect everything. We aim to make this as unobtrusive as possible, working around your schedule and the venue’s requirements.

For those planning larger events or exhibitions that might utilise the grounds or specific areas of Birtsmorton Court, we also offer gazebo hire and patio heaters, which are invaluable for extending the use of outdoor spaces into cooler evenings. If your event requires a different kind of setup, perhaps a product launch or a showcase within the venue, our exhibition furniture range, including display cabinets, might be of interest.

The key is to think about the flow of your event. Where will guests arrive? Where will they eat? Where will they relax? Where will the catering team work? Birtsmorton Court is a grand estate, and the possibilities are extensive. Our role is to supply the practical items that make those possibilities a reality, delivered and collected efficiently. We pride ourselves on supplying clean, well-maintained equipment that arrives on time, allowing you to focus on the finer details of your event.
