Booking Blandford Forum Event Equipment Hire
Organising a wedding reception, a corporate lunch, or a summer fete requires specific seating arrangements. We supply events celebrating local heritage alongside corporate functions demanding standard commercial gear. Our client list includes professional event organisers, independent caterers, venue managers, charities, and armed forces personnel. For weddings, demand remains high for classic chair hire to fill marquees and halls. The Chiavari chairs in limewash or natural wood suit formal dining setups, while our banqueting chairs give guests comfort during long speeches. You will also need tables to match your seating plan. Our banqueting tables come in both round and rectangular formats, seating between eight and ten guests depending on the size you select. We developed much of our stock under the EventProu00ae own-brand range specifically for the hire trade rather than retail use.
Beyond the main seating, the details dictate the final look of your dining area. Good quality tablecloths cover bare boards and set the tone for the meal. Consider our crisp white or ivory linen for a classic aesthetic, and add matching napkins to complete the place settings. We also stock chair covers for those wanting a uniform appearance, though many venues in this area already possess inherent character. Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver, covering accidental scratches or minor wear during your hire period. No other UK hire company offers this benefit as standard.
Dining essentials form the core of any catered function. We stock a full range of crockery hire, from standard dinner plates and side plates to a variety of bowls for starters or desserts. Alongside this, cutlery hire remains a necessity. A standard pack usually includes a knife, fork, and dessert spoon per guest. Add soup spoons to your basket if your menu requires them. We operate a "Send It Back Dirty" policy for all tableware. Your team packs away the unwashed plates and glasses, and we handle the cleaning at our depot.
Drinks service demands specific vessels for different beverages. For any event serving wine, our wine glasses remain a popular choice. Champagne or prosecco toasts require champagne glasses. We also stock beer glasses, cocktail glasses for specialty menus, and a range of tumblers for spirits or soft drinks. Calculate at least two drinks per guest initially to gauge your total glassware requirements.
Creating a dedicated drinks area requires proper bar furniture. Poseur tables and bar stools establish a relaxed social hub for attendees. We also supply bar equipment, including speed rails and ice buckets, to keep service moving. Outdoor events in the summer months benefit from our outdoor furniture. Sets of bistro tables and chairs, or our lounge furniture, create comfortable seating areas in gardens and courtyards. For larger outdoor gatherings, gazebo hire provides shelter from unpredictable weather.
Food preparation requires commercial-grade catering equipment. This category includes fridges and freezers to keep ingredients or drinks cool, cooking equipment for on-site food preparation, and warming equipment such as bain-maries to hold food at safe temperatures. Casual affairs often utilise our BBQ hire for outdoor cooking. We require no security deposit on any of these items, freeing up your budget for other event expenses.
We deliver to venues in and around the town centre, extending into villages like Tarrant Gunville, Pimperne, Charlton Marshall, and Spetisbury. Our drivers also serve areas surrounding the military base at Blandford Camp, and connect to events heading towards the edges of Poole and Dorchester. Popular delivery spots include various village halls, Stourpaine, Bryanston School, and numerous country estates. Live vehicle tracking with SMS ETA alerts keeps you updated on delivery day. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT based on road distance from our nearest regional depot.
