Glassware Hire for Events
Expo Hire supplies glassware hire for events across England and Wales. The right glasses help bars, waiting staff and caterers serve drinks in a way that fits the event. We deliver clean glassware to weddings, parties, corporate functions and mobile bars, then collect after the last drink. That gives you the range you need without buying stock you may not use again.
Wine service starts with the right shape. Our wine glasses cover red and white wine service for dinners, receptions and banquets. For toasts and drinks receptions, our champagne flutes give prosecco, champagne and sparkling wine a proper presentation. Mobile bars and venue teams often add both ranges to the same order so front of house can handle the full drinks list.
Beer service needs its own range. Our beer glasses suit lager, ale and cider for parties, festivals and corporate bars. If the menu leans more toward mixed drinks, our cocktail glasses help bartenders serve martinis, spritzes and house cocktails in the right format. We also stock speciality glasses for spirits, liqueurs and other drinks that need a specific style.
This range works for formal wedding breakfasts, fast bar service and evening receptions. It also suits private parties, trade events and hospitality spaces where guest numbers can change right up to the final week. Hiring gives you room to match the order to the brief, whether you need a few dozen flutes for a toast or a full mixed order for a long bar list.
Counts need thought as well. Bars often need backup stock behind the counter, and waiting staff need enough glasses to reset tables between courses and clear empty stock without leaving guests short. Mobile bars may also need a split order, with wine glasses at one service point and beer or cocktail glasses at another. Hiring the full range from one place makes that planning easier. That matters for weddings with table service, corporate receptions with roaming trays and bar-led parties where one busy counter can drain stock fast.
Expo Hire delivers glassware across England and Wales and collects after the event. You can build the order around the drinks menu, the bar style and the guest count, then add extra stock for service points, staff backup and breakage cover. If you need wine, beer, champagne or cocktail glasses for one day or a run of events, this range gives you the stock to serve with confidence.
To skip the post-event wash, add Send It Back Dirty to your order at checkout. Pour away any remaining liquid, pack the glasses upright in the crates provided, and we collect and clean everything at the warehouse. It keeps the close of a busy event simple.
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.
