Hellidon Lakes Wedding Hire

The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to weddings and events across England and Wales, and we return to collect everything. We're frequent visitors to Hellidon Lakes Golf & Spa Hotel, and we know how to furnish its spaces for a variety of occasions.

Hellidon Lakes, with its stunning grounds and array of rooms, is a versatile venue. We've supplied items for everything from intimate wedding ceremonies and receptions held in their more elegant suites to larger corporate events and conferences utilising their spacious function areas. For weddings, think of the main banqueting suites where large gatherings are common, or perhaps smaller, more private dining rooms. For corporate events, the conference rooms often need a different setup altogether – perhaps a more formal boardroom style or a series of breakout spaces. We've seen it all, from stylish seated dinners to more relaxed networking events. The eight lakes and manicured gardens also offer opportunities for outdoor elements, which we can support with our range of outdoor furniture and heating solutions.

Chair choice shapes every photograph and every table. For weddings, Chiavari chairs are the wedding staple: black gives sharp sophistication, white gives a fresh airy feel, limewash gives rustic warmth that suits barns and country houses – though Hellidon Lakes has a more classic feel, limewash still 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 can lend a slightly less formal air to a reception room here. For more corporate or formal events, consider our range of banqueting chairs which offer comfort and a classic look, available in various finishes to suit your theme.

A 6ft circular banqueting table is the workhorse of most receptions, comfortably seating up to 10 guests. These are ideal for creating that classic round table layout that encourages conversation. For a more modern or structured feel, rectangular 1.8m rectangular tables are also available, seating 6-8. For drinks receptions or standing buffets, our poseur tables paired with bar stools create a lively atmosphere. If you're planning a more relaxed lounge area, perhaps for a cocktail hour or a breakout space, we have comfortable sofas and lounge seating that can make a space feel more inviting. For smaller, more informal gatherings or even as side tables, bean bags can add a playful touch.

Table linen is critical for setting the tone. We stock a wide array of tablecloths, from crisp white and ivory for a formal feel, to darker shades for sophistication. Standard sizes are available, including those to fit our 6ft round and rectangular tables. Don't forget napkins to match; usually, one per guest. Chair covers, such as satin or organza sashes, can add a splash of colour or a touch of glamour to your seating arrangements, especially when used with our more traditional chairs.

On the dining front, presentation is key. We offer a comprehensive range of crockery hire, including various plate sizes – from starter and main course plates to dessert plates. For starters, consider our bowls, perfect for soups or salads. Alongside the crockery, you'll need cutlery hire; we have standard sets including knives, forks, spoons, and dessert spoons. And of course, glassware. We can supply everything from standard wine glasses and champagne flutes for toasts, to beer glasses and cocktail glasses for a fully catered bar service. Even smaller details like water glasses and bar accessories are available.

For corporate events or conferences at Hellidon Lakes, the setup can be quite different. You might need a series of tables for delegate seating, perhaps combined with presentation areas. Exhibition furniture is also a common requirement if you're running a trade show or a careers fair within the venue. We can provide simple display cabinets or barrier hire for crowd control. For catering, think about practicalities: do you need fridges for drinks, or warming equipment for food service? Even BBQ hire is an option if an outdoor summer event is planned, and we have patio heaters to keep guests comfortable after the sun goes down. For more informal corporate gatherings, a bar setup with high tables and stools creates a social hub.

Delivery to Hellidon Lakes is straightforward. We deliver directly to the room or stand where your event is taking place. Our delivery teams are experienced in navigating venues like Hellidon Lakes, bringing all your hired items right to your door, whether that’s the main banqueting hall, a conference room, or an exhibition space. We handle the logistics of getting the furniture, tableware, and equipment to where it needs to be, so you can focus on arranging your event. Collection is just as simple; we return to pack everything up and take it away. This direct delivery and collection service is part of how we aim to make event planning smoother.

When planning for Hellidon Lakes, consider the flow of your event. For a wedding breakfast, how will guests move from reception to dinner? For a conference, where will the catering stations be, and what seating arrangement best suits your agenda? We can help you select the right quantities of tables and chairs to match your floor plan and guest numbers. For a drinks reception, a few lounge seating areas can make a big difference to the atmosphere. If outdoor space is being utilised, our outdoor furniture, like benches and tables, can extend your usable event space. And don't forget functional items like beverage equipment or street food style stations if that fits your theme.

We've supplied many events at Hellidon Lakes, from the most formal wedding dinners to busy corporate away days. Our aim is to provide the right equipment, delivered efficiently, so your event at Hellidon Lakes runs smoothly. If you have specific requirements for your wedding or event, just ask.
