Hire chairs for weddings, conferences and events. Banqueting, folding, Chiavari and exhibition chairs. Live stock, online booking, delivery across England and Wales.
Expo Hire stocks chairs for every type of event across England and Wales. The range covers banqueting chairs for formal dining, folding chairs for outdoor and multi-purpose use, Chiavari chairs for decorated venues, Eames-style chairs for exhibitions and contemporary events, Tolix chairs for bars and outdoor areas, and tub chairs for reception and lounge setups.
Weddings are the most common occasion for bulk chair hire. A wedding breakfast for 120 guests needs 120 chairs for the meal, a further 50 to 80 chairs for the ceremony depending on format, and sometimes additional seating for the evening reception. Banqueting chairs in a white or gold frame are the standard choice, often dressed with chair covers and sashes from the linen range.
Conferences use chairs in one of two main layouts. Theatre-style places chairs in rows without tables, maximising the number of delegates in a space. A classroom-style layout adds a trestle table per row and reduces capacity. Office chairs from the office furniture range suit boardroom and working conference setups where delegates are seated for long periods.
Exhibitions use chairs on a smaller scale. A stand at the NEC or ExCeL typically needs two to four chairs for client meetings alongside bar stools and poseur tables. Eames and tub chairs work well for this purpose and look at home on a well-dressed exhibition stand.
Order chairs at one per expected seated guest. For events using multiple room layouts through the day, calculate the peak seated count and order to that figure. All chairs are delivered stacked on pallets or trolleys. Expo Hire delivers across England and Wales. Book at least three to four weeks ahead for large wedding and conference orders. Schools, colleges and universities can find guidance on the education hire page. Churches and village halls can find guidance on the church and community hall hire page.
