Your Guide to Gala Dinner Furniture and Tableware Hire
Your Guide to Gala Dinner Furniture and Tableware Hire
Expo Hire supplies furniture and tableware for gala dinners across England and Wales. Charities, corporates and venue teams use us to dress large rooms for formal sit-down meals without buying stock they will use once or twice a year. We deliver clean, commercial-grade equipment on your chosen date and collect after the event.
Most gala dinners seat guests at round banqueting tables with Chiavari chairs or banqueting chairs. Chiavari chairs suit formal black-tie evenings. Banqueting chairs handle bigger guest counts and faster turnarounds. For top tables, a cloth-draped trestle gives presenters a raised position with good sight lines across the room. Our table hire range covers round tables, trestle tables and poseur tables for drinks receptions beforehand.
A full table setting for a gala dinner typically includes crockery, cutlery, glassware and linen. Our crockery and cutlery ranges cover the place setting from starter to dessert. Glassware for wine, water and toasts can be added to the same order. Linen keeps the tables consistent. Add Send It Back Dirty at checkout to return tableware unwashed after service.
Many gala dinners include speeches, awards presentations or live entertainment. Our portable stage hire gives speakers and performers a raised platform with clear sight lines across the room. Lecterns, iPad stands and presentation screens are available for awards announcements and speeches.
Every order includes a Free Minor Damage Waiver at no extra charge. Other hire companies charge 2–3% of your order total for the same cover — on a typical £1,000 booking, that is up to £30 extra you keep in your pocket.
