Seating and Tables for Greater Manchester Venues
Organising a formal dinner or a corporate conference requires substantial seating arrangements. We stock thousands of chairs within our EventPro® own-brand range. Our in-house team designs these specifically for the hire trade rather than retail markets. Venue managers booking chair hire can select from multiple styles to match their specific room layout. Our Chiavari chairs remain a popular option for formal dining rooms and marquee setups. Gold frames suit traditional weddings and gala dinners, while the clear resin models fit modern corporate events and contemporary venues. Rustic barn venues and country houses often favour our Cross Back chairs in oak, which bring a traditional aesthetic to the dining space. We require no security deposit on any order, allowing you to allocate your budget directly to your event. For bookings over £500, secure your items with a 25% advance deposit.
Floor plans dictate your table selection. Round tables encourage conversation among guests during gala dinners and charity balls. Our 6ft round tables seat ten people comfortably, leaving enough room for centrepieces and multiple glassware settings. Registration areas, buffet stations, and exhibition stands often need linear setups. Your team can arrange our 8ft trestle tables end-to-end to create long serving stations or boardroom configurations. These tables feature folding legs, allowing your staff to move them into position and pack them away at the end of the night. We operate on a dry hire basis, meaning our drivers drop the equipment at your venue for your team to arrange. You handle the setup, and we handle the logistics.
Table Styling and Linen Hire
Bare tables need proper dressing before service begins. High-quality tablecloths form the foundation of your table design. We stock multiple sizes in classic white and ivory, alongside bold colours to match corporate branding or specific themes. Pair these with matching or contrasting napkins to complete the place setting. Venues with older seating stock often use our chair covers to unify the room's appearance. These covers slip over standard banqueting chairs, hiding mismatched frames and creating a cohesive look across the entire dining area. Event planners use these textiles to bring a specific colour palette into a neutral function room.
Caterers need reliable tableware to present their menus. Our crockery hire includes standard white plates that suit everything from casual buffets to multi-course tasting menus. Choose different sizes of plates and bowls to match your specific courses. Beside the plates, your guests expect heavy, polished utensils. Our cutlery hire features commercial-grade stainless steel forks, knives, and spoons that withstand heavy use in busy dining environments. Washing up takes hours after a large function. We include our "Send It Back Dirty" service on all crockery and cutlery orders. Your team scrapes the plates clear of food waste and packs them back into the transport crates. We handle the cleaning at our depot, saving your staff valuable time during the breakdown phase.
Drinks service requires specific glasses for different beverages. Formal toasts call for our champagne flutes, while dinner service relies on our wine glasses. Pubs and temporary bars stock up on our beer glasses to handle high-volume service. Mixologists and cocktail bars utilise our cocktail glasses to serve their creations. Breakages happen during busy events. We include a Free Minor Damage Waiver on every single order, covering small chips and cracks. No other UK hire company offers this benefit as standard. Return all glassware unwashed alongside your plates and cutlery. Your bar staff can focus on serving drinks rather than running glass washers.
Bar Furniture and Outdoor Equipment
Temporary bars need functional furniture to serve guests. We supply bar furniture including poseur tables and high stools, giving attendees a place to rest their drinks. Bartenders rely on our bar accessories to maintain a fast service speed during peak hours. Summer events often spill out onto terraces and lawns. Furnish these spaces with our outdoor furniture, creating comfortable seating areas under the open sky. Unpredictable weather requires backup plans. Our gazebo hire provides shelter from sudden rain showers or intense midday sun. As the evening cools down, our patio heaters keep the outdoor areas warm, encouraging guests to stay outside longer. Caterers cooking outside use our commercial BBQ hire to grill large volumes of food simultaneously.
Professional Kitchen and Catering Hire
Temporary kitchens demand heavy-duty appliances. Independent caterers and hotel chefs use our catering equipment to scale up their cooking capacity for large events. We supply ovens, hot cupboards, and refrigeration units that run on standard 13-amp plugs or LPG gas. Set up a fully functioning kitchen in a marquee, a village hall, or an empty warehouse. Our drivers deliver these heavy items directly to your loading bay. On the morning of your delivery, you receive an SMS with an estimated time of arrival. Track the delivery vehicle live on our website using your order number and postcode. This tracking feature helps your site managers coordinate staff for the unloading process.
