The Copthorne Hotel Cardiff is a landmark venue, right on Millennium Plaza, and a popular choice for events. You’ve picked a great spot for guests travelling, with its proximity to Cardiff Central station. We provide furniture and table settings. The reception room feels as you wish. We deliver, you enjoy your occasion, and we collect. Easy.

The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything. Your wedding day at the Copthorne reflects your personal style. It becomes a cherished memory. We provide comprehensive service for your décor.

Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. The Chiavari chair works well for many events. It offers a sophisticated look. Available in crisp black for sharp sophistication, pure white for a fresh, airy feel, or a charming limewash that imbues rustic warmth, perfect for venues with a country or barn aesthetic. The Wishbone chair adds sculptural quality. It provides strong event photos. Guests treasure these photos. The Cross Back chair in oak exudes a relaxed and natural charm, a firm favourite for vineyard, garden parties, and venues with a bohemian or earthy vibe. If you’re aiming for an event that leans towards the more formal, the Chiavari chair in black or white suits formal events. This chair provides a polished look. We provide many chairs. Each chair complements your style and wedding theme.

Tables are the backbone of your reception, creating the foundation for your guests' experience. Our 6ft circular tables seat up to 10 guests for a traditional dinner. For a modern, banquet-style seating arrangement, our 18ft trestle tables offer flexibility. Arrange them in rows for a grand feast or in clusters for a social atmosphere. We also provide 12ft trestle tables, offering further options for room layout. It’s worth considering how you envision your reception space flowing, and we are here to offer expert guidance on the optimal table sizes and arrangements to best suit your guest numbers and the dimensions of the Copthorne's beautiful rooms. All our tables are robust. We maintain them. They form the heart of your celebration.

Linens are crucial for setting the immediate tone and visual warmth of your reception space. Our tablecloths come in many sizes and colours. White tablecloths complement any décor or colour scheme. Ivory provides a softer, more romantic and warmer feel, ideal for creating an intimate ambiance. Tell us your exact colour palette or theme. We source perfect shades. To complete the look, we also supply coordinating napkins. All details align. Some couples use chair covers for formality or colour. Many of our chairs look stunning without covers, offering a more minimalist yet chic aesthetic.

After we dress tables, details like crockery, cutlery, and glassware complete your meal and celebrations. For the main dining experience, we provide a comprehensive set including dinner plates, side plates, and bowls. This caters to all courses. For cutlery, a standard set often includes a dinner fork, knife, starter fork, starter knife, and a dessert spoon or fork. We adapt this selection based on your chosen menu. Glassware needs thought for your beverage service. Each guest receives a fine wine glass and a water glass. If you plan a champagne toast, you will need champagne flutes. For those who prefer beer, we have a selection of appropriate beer glasses. We provide many cocktail glasses for cocktail lovers. They enhance your beverage service.

Beyond the main dining area, the Copthorne Hotel often features versatile spaces. Dedicated bar furniture works well in these spaces. Our poseur tables and bar stools create a relaxed, social, and contemporary zone. This suits a drinks reception or late-night bar. These are perfect for guests to mingle, catch up, and enjoy a drink in a more casual setting, away from the main dining tables, adding another dimension to your event's flow.

Should you choose to manage your own bar service or require specific catering elements, we also provide essential bar equipment. This includes practical items like bottle coolers. They keep beverages cold. Stylish ice buckets are for serving. For maintaining the perfect temperature of your food, whether hot or cold, we offer a range of fridges and warming cabinets. If your wedding plans include an outdoor element, perhaps a charming garden reception or a unique catering setup, we provide BBQs and a selection of attractive outdoor furniture for outdoor dining.
