The Hilton Leicester hosts weddings and significant events. You're planning something here, and that's exciting. We handle the furniture, tableware, and glassware. This equipment arrives ready. Guests receive care from arrival. Event planning requires attention to detail.

Let's talk about the foundation: your tables and chairs. What kind of atmosphere are you aiming for? Chiavari chairs suit formal atmospheres. These elegant chairs have ornate detailing and an upright back. They suit formal occasions. In black, they offer sharp definition and a bold statement. White gives a light, airy feel. It creates a bright, celebratory atmosphere in a light-filled room. The limewash finish adds a softer, more natural tone. It blends with organic textures and colours. This is good if you have any rustic elements planned for your décor.

Then there's the Wishbone chair. It has a distinctive, sculptural look. It features a curved back and a woven seat. The chair photographs well. For a more relaxed, natural vibe, the Cross Back chair in oak is a strong contender. Its criss-cross detailing provides a charming, rustic charm. It reads as grounded and earthy. This chair suits vineyard or garden-style celebrations. It fits events that seek natural looks.

Your tables are the centrepiece for your guests' experience. We offer a range of table hire options. Each option suits different event layouts and guest numbers. Many clients choose 6ft circular banqueting tables. They seat up to 10 guests. This fosters a convivial atmosphere. Conversation flows, and everyone feels connected. 18ft trestle tables work for long banquet settings. They seat around 20 people. These long tables configure in various ways. You can set them in single lines or U-shapes. You can join them for big dining events. This depends on your Hilton Leicester layout and desired event flow. We also offer smaller bistro tables for more intimate settings or drinks receptions.

Beyond the main seating, consider breakout areas or a reception space. Perhaps a more relaxed seating arrangement to encourage mingling and conversation away from the dining tables? Our sofa and lounge furniture can create comfortable, inviting zones for guests to relax and connect. We have various sofa styles and armchairs. They create a sophisticated lounge feel. They suit a cocktail hour or a quiet retreat. For a casual and comfortable touch, bean bags add a splash of playful comfort. These suit more informal events or specific themed areas.

Finishing touches complete and dress the tables. Tablecloths and napkins are fundamental. We have a wide selection of tablecloths to set the perfect tone. Many clients choose standard white or ivory. These provide a clean, classic base that complements any colour scheme. For something different, consider coloured linens to match your theme or brand colours. The same versatility applies to our napkins. A crisp white or ivory napkin suits many events, but coloured ones add detail and interest. We also supply chair covers. These come in various fabrics and styles. They unify the look of your chairs if you're using a mix of seating or want to introduce a specific colour into your overall table presentation.

Dining requires the essential elements: crockery, cutlery, and glassware. For your main courses and starters, we have standard white dinner plates, starter plates, and dessert plates, offering a clean and professional presentation. Bowls serve soups, pastas, or creative starters. Our cutlery sets are simple, durable, and versatile. They suit a wide range of event styles. For drinks, a well-chosen selection of glassware is crucial for enhancing the drinking experience. We offer wine glasses. These come in red and white wine specific shapes for optimal aeration. We also have elegant champagne flutes for celebratory toasts and appropriate beer glasses. If you're serving spirits or crafting signature cocktails, we have a variety of cocktail glasses to match your beverage offerings. Remember essential bar accessories. These include stylish ice buckets for keeping drinks chilled and professional cocktail shakers for a dedicated bar setup.

For the bar itself, we offer a comprehensive range of bar furniture and complementary bar stools. These can create a dedicated, inviting drinks area, encouraging guests to mingle, socialize, and relax throughout the event. We offer various styles. Traditional, warm wooden bars evoke a classic pub feel. Modern, sleek designs fit a chic event space.

If your event extends outdoors, or you utilise the beautiful outdoor space at the Hilton Leicester, we offer options for comfort and style. Our outdoor furniture sets can provide comfortable and attractive seating in gardens, patios, or terraces. For cooler evenings, patio heaters are essential. They keep your guests warm and comfortable, allowing them to enjoy the outdoor ambiance. We also supply sturdy gazebos. They offer practical shelter from the elements or define a specific outdoor area, creating a focal point or a more intimate space.

Catering is a significant part of any event. We do not provide the food itself. We supply essential catering equipment your chosen caterers need to operate without issue. This includes vital fridges and freezers to keep drinks and food chilled. We also provide robust cooking equipment like ovens and hobs if your caterer requires them on-site, and reliable beverage equipment such as hot water urns for tea and coffee stations. Warming equipment keeps food at serving temperature for your event. This provides a high-quality dining experience for all guests.
