The right glassware sets the tone before a drink is poured. Expo Hire supplies commercial-grade glasses to London events of all sizes, from boardroom drinks receptions in the City to wedding receptions across the home counties. Every order arrives clean and tested. We collect everything after the event.

Wine and champagne glasses

Seated dinners and corporate banquets need a proper table setting. Our wine glasses are available in standard and premium styles to suit different budgets and occasions. For weddings and high-end dinners, the premium range adds a more refined touch. Champagne service at toasts and receptions works best with tall champagne flutes. We also stock coupes for events with a vintage aesthetic.

Beer and cocktail glasses

Pub events, craft beer festivals, and corporate functions with a bar component all need the right vessels. We stock standard pint glasses, lager glasses, and steins. For a cocktail bar setup, choose from martini glasses, highballs, tumblers, and margarita glasses. The right shape affects how drinks look and taste — it's worth matching glass style to what you're serving.

How many glasses to order

Order 10–15% more than your guest count to cover breakages and spare glasses during service. For standing receptions where guests carry glasses between areas, allow a little extra. Our product pages show live stock levels so you can confirm availability before booking. There is no need to call — prices and stock are visible online.

Delivery and returns across London

We deliver to all London boroughs and understand the access restrictions, loading bay windows, and tight schedules common at London venues. Glassware arrives packed in crates, clean and inspected. After the event, pack them back into the crates and we collect — no washing required. Our Send It Back Dirty service covers all glassware, crockery, and cutlery returns.

Complete your table setting

Glassware works best alongside matching crockery and cutlery. Add tablecloths and napkins for a fully dressed table. For events with a bar area, we also supply bar equipment including bottle bins, ice buckets, and spirit dispensers. Bar counters and bar stools complete the setup.
