The Sandringham Hotel in Oxford is a great venue for your celebration. It’s a charming location, suited for intimate, personal events where every detail matters. Sunlight dappling through the windows, the sound of happy conversation, and a feeling of relaxed style set the scene. Your guests arrive, feeling welcomed and comfortable, ready to celebrate you. We help you create this feeling with our hire items.

The right touches enhance even the most beautiful hotel rooms. It’s about building the right atmosphere, from comfortable seating to sparkling glassware. For your wedding hire at the Sandringham, we provide everything you need to make it feel correct. Your ceremony space, or a cocktail reception, requires specific seating. What seating sets the tone? Our chair hire range is extensive. Our Chiavari chairs, in gold, silver, or limewash, bring sophistication for a classic wedding. These iconic chairs, with their open, airy design, are popular; they complement almost any decor. They look good on their own, or dressed with a simple ribbon or floral embellishment. If you prefer more padding and a grander presence, our banqueting chairs offer comfort and traditional style, fit for a long celebration where guests sit for extended periods. Available in various finishes, they provide a sturdy and comfortable option that still maintains a refined aesthetic.

And the tables themselves! For intimate dinners, round tables create togetherness. Conversation flows. Our 5ft round banqueting tables are a popular choice. They seat 8 guests. Guests talk together. This size is ideal for creating smaller, more connected dining experiences within a larger reception. Or perhaps you want a relaxed, mingling style for a drinks reception or a more contemporary wedding breakfast? We offer poseur tables. These tall, slender tables are ideal for guests to gather around with a drink, offering a chic and functional solution for standing receptions. They pair well with our smart bar stool hire. This creates a sophisticated bar area or informal gathering points that encourage movement and conversation throughout the room. They add a modern edge and can help define different zones within your event space.

Now, let’s talk about the tables themselves. Covered. A fine tablecloth is the starting point for any table setting. It provides the canvas for your tableware. This canvas is important. We offer an array of tablecloths. Crisp white or ivory tablecloths offer a classic wedding style, showing purity and tradition. Richer tones like deep navy, burgundy, or forest green create a dramatic mood. We also have various textures and patterns available to suit different themes. And to complement those chairs and tie your entire look together? Our chair covers change standard chairs. They add fabric and color that match your scheme. Don’t forget the napkins! Matching napkins, whether in a classic folded style or a more contemporary arrangement, are a simple yet effective detail that adds polish and a sense of completeness to every place setting. The right linen improves the entire dining experience.

When your guests sit down for their meal, the details on the table matter. The satisfying clink of cutlery, the gleam of glassware, these are sensory experiences. They improve a meal and add to the occasion. Our cutlery hire comes in designs like King's Pattern or Dartmouth style. These designs provide a refined finish and show quality. We select each piece for its balance and weight. And for the drinks? We have glassware for all beverages and styles, including bubbly, fine wine, or cocktails. Toasts made with shimmering champagne flutes, or a robust red wine savoured from shaped wine glasses. We also stock a comprehensive variety of other glasses, from shaped beer glasses to stylish cocktail glasses suitable for martinis, margaritas, or any elaborate concoction, providing appropriate and aesthetically pleasing service for every single beverage.

The food itself needs the right presentation to shine. Our crockery hire includes a range of stylish and practical plates and bowls. These showcase your culinary creations. Your meal flow needs attention: elegant starter plates, substantial main course plates, perhaps smaller, delicate plates for dessert or a cheese course. We offer everything from simple, clean white dinner plates that provide a versatile backdrop, to more contemporary styles with subtle rim details or unique shapes. We choose our plates and bowls for their appeal, durability, and traditional look. They fit any wedding theme, from rustic charm to modern minimalism.

Sometimes, an event needs something extra, a distinct focal point or a comfortable, separate area away from the main bustle. Guests can relax, retreat, and chat in an intimate lounge space. Our sofas and lounge furniture create seating areas. Plush armchairs, elegant two-seater sofas, and stylish coffee tables add luxury. They provide an informal, sophisticated setting for guests to relax. For an outdoor element, if your Sandringham event extends to a beautiful garden space or terrace, our outdoor furniture fits. Consider elegant bistro sets for a quiet, romantic moment overlooking the grounds, or more relaxed seating arrangements like outdoor lounge chairs and small tables, allowing guests to enjoy the fresh air and the hotel's surroundings in comfort.

For practical considerations, we cover every aspect of your event. If you are providing welcome drinks upon arrival or need to keep a selection of beverages or delicate canapés chilled throughout the day, our robust fridges and freezers are invaluable. For keeping hot food at the perfect serving temperature from catering stations or buffets, look at our comprehensive range of warming equipment, including chafing dishes and bain-maries. We even have BBQ hire if you are planning a more casual, fun outdoor element to your wedding celebrations, or specific beverage equipment for self-serve drinks stations or hydration points. Our extensive bar equipment can also help stock your bar area to professional standards, providi
