Furnishing your wedding or event at Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel.
Furnishing your wedding or event at Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel.
The reception room sets the tone for your entire day. Every table, chair, cloth, and glass dictates what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers commercial grade furniture hire and tableware directly to your venue, and we return to collect everything after the event. We supply hellidon lakes wedding hire for professional organisers and couples alike, knowing exactly how to furnish these specific spaces for different occasions.
Hellidon Lakes features versatile grounds and an array of function rooms. We supply items for intimate ceremonies in the elegant suites and large corporate conferences in the main banqueting areas. For weddings, the main banqueting suites accommodate large gatherings, while smaller dining rooms suit private parties. Corporate events in the conference rooms require a different setup altogether, such as a formal boardroom style or a series of breakout spaces. We see everything from stylish seated dinners to relaxed networking events. The eight lakes and manicured gardens present opportunities for outdoor elements, which we support with our inventory of outdoor furniture and heating units.
Chair choice dictates every photograph and table layout. For weddings, Chiavari chairs remain the staple. Black gives sharp sophistication, white brings a fresh airy feel, and limewash adds rustic warmth that suits barns and country houses. Because Hellidon Lakes has a classic feel, limewash works well to add a touch of softer colour. The Wishbone chair adds a sculptural quality that makes for strong wedding photos. The Cross Back in oak reads as relaxed and natural, a favourite at vineyard and garden weddings, and lends a less formal air to a reception room here. For corporate events, consider our selection of banqueting chairs which offer comfort and a classic look in various finishes.
A 6ft circular banqueting table acts as the workhorse of most receptions, comfortably seating up to 10 guests. These tables create that classic round layout that encourages conversation. For a modern or structured feel, you can hire 1.8m rectangular tables, seating 6 to 8 people. Drinks receptions and standing buffets benefit from our poseur tables paired with bar stools to create a lively atmosphere. You might plan a relaxed lounge area for a cocktail hour or a breakout space. We stock comfortable sofas and lounge seating that make a space feel inviting. For smaller informal gatherings or side tables, bean bags add a playful touch.
Table linen dictates the room's formality. We stock a broad selection of tablecloths, from crisp white and ivory for a formal feel, to darker shades for sophistication. Standard sizes fit our 6ft round and rectangular tables. You will need napkins to match, usually ordering one per guest. Chair covers, such as satin or organza sashes, add a splash of colour or glamour to your seating arrangements, especially alongside our traditional chairs.
On the dining front, presentation matters. We stock a large inventory of crockery hire, including various plate sizes from starter and main course plates to dessert plates. For starters, consider our bowls, which suit soups or salads. Alongside the crockery, you need cutlery hire. We supply standard sets including knives, forks, spoons, and dessert spoons. We also supply glassware. You can order everything from standard wine glasses and champagne flutes for toasts, to beer glasses and cocktail glasses for a fully catered bar service. Smaller details like water glasses and bar accessories complete the setup. Every order includes our "Send It Back Dirty" service, meaning you return all crockery, glassware, and cutlery unwashed. We handle the cleaning at our depot.
Corporate events and conferences at Hellidon Lakes require a different approach. You might need a series of tables for delegate seating, combined with presentation areas. Exhibition furniture becomes a common requirement if you run a trade show or a careers fair within the venue. We supply simple display cabinets or barrier hire for crowd control. For catering, think about practicalities. You might need fridges for drinks, or warming equipment for food service. BBQ hire remains an option if you plan an outdoor summer event, and we stock patio heaters to keep guests comfortable after the sun goes down. Informal corporate gatherings benefit from a bar setup with high tables and stools to create a social hub.
Professional caterers and independent chefs working at Hellidon Lakes need reliable equipment. We supply commercial grade catering equipment hire directly to the venue. Our stock includes six-burner ovens, hot cupboards, and heavy-duty preparation tables. You can hire everything required to build a temporary kitchen or supplement the venue's existing facilities. We test all electrical and gas appliances before dispatch, delivering them ready for immediate use. Delivery starts from £40 ex-VAT, calculated by road distance from our nearest depot.
Our own EventProu00ae furniture line targets the hire trade rather than retail use. This means every chair and table withstands the rigours of commercial events. The folding mechanisms on our banqueting tables lock securely for rapid deployment, while our stacking chairs feature reinforced frames. Professional event organisers, hospitality managers, and exhibition builders rely on this durability. We supply named clients including the BBC, ITV, HSBC, and Cambridge University with these exact items.
