\\\Weddings: Wine glasses for dinner service, champagne flutes for the arrival reception and the toast, hi-balls or tumblers for soft drinks. For a 100-person wedding, a typical order is 200 wine glasses, 120 champagne flutes, and 80 hi-balls.
\\\Beer festivals: Pint glasses and half-pint glasses in large quantities. Expo Hire holds significant beer glass stock and handles beer festival orders of 500 to 2,000 glasses regularly.
\\\Corporate receptions: Wine glasses and champagne flutes for a drinks reception. For a 1.5-hour drinks reception with constant service, allow 2 glasses per guest as a minimum to cover breakage and misplacement.
\\\Bar setups: Hi-ball tumblers, shot glasses, and cocktail glasses depending on the bar programme.
\\\Stack glasses back in the crates they arrived in. Expo Hire collects dirty — washing is included in the hire price. Do not attempt to handwash before return. The commercial wash cycle handles everything.
\\\For a seated meal, start with one water glass and one wine glass per guest, then add spare stock for service changes. A 100-guest wedding often needs 120 water glasses, 120 wine glasses, and 100 champagne flutes if you are serving a toast. A bar-led reception needs more headroom. For that style of event, allow at least two drinking glasses per guest plus a small reserve for washing cycles and breakages.
\\\Corporate dinners often run on tighter drinks menus, so one water glass and one wine glass per cover works. For parties with beer, cocktails, and soft drinks in parallel, split the order by serve rather than guessing one glass will do every job.
