Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade equipment to professional organisers across England and Wales. Right now, our bells are jingling for christmas party hire as venues prepare for the festive season. We use this industry knowledge to share practical advice on calculating quantities and managing your budget.
Drinks form a central part of any festive celebration. Having the correct glasses on hand prevents awkward shortages at the bar.
Expo Hire stocks commercial-grade options for all beverage types. For sparkling wine, you can select traditional champagne saucers or tall flutes. We supply various beer glasses for ales and lagers, alongside multiple wine glasses to match specific budgets and grape varieties.
Washing up takes time away from your event breakdown. Our "Send It Back Dirty" service covers all hired glassware. Empty any remaining liquid and return the items in their original crates. We clean everything at our Birmingham warehouse. We never charge a security deposit, and our free minor damage waiver covers a small number of accidental breakages.
To calculate quantities, a standard rule dictates ordering 20 percent more glasses than your guest count. Glasses get misplaced, left on tables, or dropped during busy events. Adding a few extra crates stops the bar running short mid-party.
LED pieces remain a popular choice for December events. Colour-changing or fixed-colour illuminated units add a bright visual element to dark winter venues. You can select LED bars and glowing seating blocks to light up your main room.
Each illuminated unit contains an integrated battery lasting up to eight hours. We supply chargers for powering up between uses and remote controls for adjusting the colour settings.
For a traditional drinks reception, you can browse our furniture hire category for poseur tables and bar stools. These tall units give guests a place to rest their drinks while mingling.
Formal sit-down dinners require comfortable seating. Chiavari chair hire in gold or white matches well with dressed tables. Gold frames against white linen and red napkins create a classic table setting that venues favour annually. Banqueting chairs feature padded seats, giving guests comfort during long multi-course meals.
Appropriate fabrics bring a formal dining layout together. You can browse our linen hire section for tablecloth hire in white, ivory, and bold colours. We stock round and rectangular sizes to fit standard banqueting tables.
A typical 5ft round table seats 8 guests and requires a 120-inch round cloth. A 6ft trestle table seats 6 to 8 guests and takes a 70-inch by 120-inch rectangular cloth. Buffet setups require different planning. Allow approximately 2ft (60cm) of table space per guest for serving dishes and plate stacking.
Table runners or overlays add an extra layer of decoration. These narrow fabric strips introduce contrasting shades or textures to your main table scheme.
December marks the busiest time of year for the events industry. Demand for catering equipment, chair hire, and table hire peaks during this month. Because our bells are jingling for christmas party hire across the country, reserving your items early secures the exact quantities you need.
Finalising your guest numbers and equipment list at least 6 to 8 weeks before your event date helps guarantee stock. This lead time gives you peace of mind as the date approaches. All orders take place entirely online, with live stock levels and pricing visible directly on the site.
