Planning an event in Christchurch? Expo Hire is here to help. We deliver furniture, tableware, and essential event equipment right to your doorstep, covering everything from intimate gatherings to larger corporate functions. Whether you’re organising an exhibition, a wedding reception, or a community event, we’ve got the kit you need to bring your vision to life.
Christchurch is a vibrant area, and the events scene here is just as varied and inspiring. We frequently supply exhibition furniture to iconic venues like the Christchurch Arena, supporting local businesses, creators, and trade shows in showcasing their best. For more intimate or grand private celebrations, imagine elegant settings around Highcliffe Castle, or the relaxed charm of marquees set against the stunning backdrop of the New Forest fringes. Our services also happily extend to events happening a stone’s throw away in the bustling areas of Bournemouth and Poole, so if your event seamlessly spills over into those neighbouring towns, we’ve got you covered with the same dedication and quality.
The type of equipment we see requested most often in this beautiful coastal region tends to be practical, functional, and stylish. Sturdy tables are fundamental, whether for presenting innovative displays at an exhibition, providing ample space for catering at a wedding breakfast, or offering a comfortable surface for guests at a conference. Comfortable and elegant chairs are essential for guest comfort, ensuring everyone can relax and enjoy the proceedings. We also supply practical bar equipment, from sleek contemporary setups to more traditional designs, perfect for serving refreshing beverages. For those delightful outdoor events, especially during the warmer months when Christchurch truly shines, our range of outdoor furniture, including comfortable seating and robust tables, is incredibly popular. And for those wanting to add a culinary element, our BBQs are a fantastic option for a more relaxed and social gathering.
When you’re setting up an exhibition, we understand that first impressions are paramount. Our extensive range of exhibition furniture is designed to help you create a professional and inviting space. Explore our clean, modern modular systems that are perfect for building unique and adaptable stands that reflect your brand. We also offer a selection of secure and stylish display cabinets, ideal for keeping your valuable items protected while ensuring they are showcased to their absolute best. Don’t forget the importance of practical elements like our barriers, which are invaluable for crowd management or subtly defining specific zones within your exhibition space. Many exhibitors also find our simple yet effective bar stools paired with high poseur tables to be an excellent choice for creating informal yet engaging meeting points. This setup promotes effortless networking and conversation, making it a popular and practical choice for fostering business connections.
For events that require a touch more sophistication and comfort, such as a company conference, a formal dinner, or a larger celebratory party, our diverse seating options are sure to impress. Our elegant Wishbone chairs offer a contemporary aesthetic with their clean lines and natural finishes, bringing a modern touch to any setting. For those seeking a more traditional or rustic charm, perhaps for a venue with a country house vibe or a barn wedding nearby, our Cross Back chairs in oak provide a beautifully handcrafted feel. We also offer a range of standard conference chairs, expertly designed for extended comfort, ensuring your guests remain relaxed throughout longer sessions. Tables, of course, are central to any event’s layout and functionality. Our generously sized 6ft circular banqueting tables comfortably seat up to 10 people, making them ideal for creating convivial sit-down meals. For ultimate versatility, our rectangular trestle tables are incredibly adaptable, serving perfectly for elegant buffet setups, efficient registration desks, or as practical display surfaces.
Catering equipment is another area where we provide comprehensive support, ensuring your event runs smoothly from start to finish. If you’re serving beverages, our extensive bar equipment selection includes everything you could possibly need, from professional cocktail shakers for expertly crafted drinks to elegant ice buckets for keeping refreshments perfectly chilled. For maintaining optimal food temperatures, we offer a range of reliable fridges and freezers, and for keeping dishes warm and ready to serve, our professional warming equipment is an absolute essential. For a more laid-back and social culinary experience, our highly sought-after BBQ hire is always a resounding hit for summer garden parties, corporate barbecues, and relaxed outdoor celebrations.
When it comes to the finer details of glassware and tableware, we understand that these elements truly elevate the guest experience. Our comprehensive selection is designed to complement any theme or occasion. For drinks, we offer a wide variety of options including sophisticated wine glasses, elegant champagne flutes perfect for toasting, and a range of durable beer glasses. If your event includes a cocktail reception, our stylish cocktail glasses are an absolute must-have to add a touch of flair. For serving food, we provide a full spectrum of high-quality plates in various sizes, versatile bowls, and a complete selection of polished cutlery. And to perfectly complete the dining setting, don’t forget our exquisite tablecloths and coordinating napkins. The right choice of colour and style of linen can dramatically transform the atmosphere of a room, adding a layer of elegance and personality to your event’s décor.
We understand that orchestrating an event can sometimes feel like a complex juggling act. Our core mission at Expo Hire is to simplify the furniture and equipment hire process, making it as straightforward and stress-free as possible for you.
