Hire champagne flutes, coupes and prosecco flutes for receptions, weddings and awards nights, with Sunday delivery and no deposit.
Champagne glass hire covers more than the toast. Expo Hire stocks the 19cl Champagne Flute, the 22cl Champagne Saucer or Coupe and the Prosecco Flute so planners can match the drink and the room. Weddings, awards ceremonies and charity balls use these glasses at arrivals, on drinks trays and at table when the host wants one clean celebratory line through the event.
Build the rest of the glassware order with wine glasses, beer glasses, cocktail glasses, tumblers, speciality glassware and bar accessories.
The flute remains the safe choice for most receptions because the narrow bowl keeps the bubbles moving for longer. That shape suits prosecco on arrival, wedding speeches and awards toasts where guests may hold the glass for twenty minutes before the room pauses. The 19cl Champagne Flute also helps service teams because servers can carry more glasses on a tray and venue staff can line them up on bars, poseur tables and welcome stations without losing space.
The coupe brings a different look. Event stylists use the 22cl Champagne Saucer when the brief leans towards vintage glamour, black tie theatre or classic cocktail service. The wider bowl suits champagne cocktails, towers for photo moments and richer sparkling drinks where the host values shape and style over long bubble retention. Some drinkers also prefer a coupe for older vintage champagne because the wider bowl lets the aroma open faster. That point matters more at private dining events and sponsor dinners than at fast paced arrivals.
Reception planning needs a quantity rule too. Expo Hire recommends 1.5 flutes or coupes per guest for an arrival toast. That allowance covers the tray service plus the spare stock that sits on the back bar while guests enter in waves. If you move from a welcome drink into table service, keep the toast glass separate from the wine glass order so the team can clear one stage before the meal. Pair the champagne order with crockery, cutlery and ice buckets or coolers if the venue needs a full front of house package.
Wedding planners often split champagne glass hire into two moments. The first wave covers the arrival drink and the confetti line. The second wave sits on the table for speeches or a later toast. Awards teams often keep the flute in one service stream from arrival to the final presentation because sponsors, guests and winners stay in the same room for the full programme. Charity balls sit between those two models, with a welcome prosecco, wine at table and then a later bar service.
Expo Hire helps those events by delivering in crates, confirming the stock before payment and collecting seven days a week. Your team can return the glasses unwashed after service. That saves time at the end of a late finish, which matters when venue staff need the room clear before midnight or first thing the next morning.
A good starting point is 1.5 glasses per guest for an arrival toast. That number covers tray service and spare stock behind the bar.
Yes. The narrow bowl in a flute holds the bubbles better, which makes it the better choice for prosecco and long receptions.
Choose coupes for vintage themed weddings, champagne cocktails and black tie events where presentation matters as much as bubble retention.
Yes. Empty the drinks, place the glasses back in the crates and Expo Hire will wash them after collection.
