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 events across St Helens and the surrounding Merseyside area, returning to collect everything afterwards.
St Helens, a town with a rich industrial heritage, now hosts a diverse range of events. From corporate gatherings at venues like the Totally Wicked Stadium or the elegant surrounds of local hotels, to community celebrations in the many village halls and function rooms, we provide the essential hire items. We also supply for private parties and weddings across the region, often working with beautiful historic buildings and modern function suites. If you're planning a wedding reception in a local manor house or a large birthday bash in a town centre venue, the right hire equipment makes all the difference.
Choosing the right furniture is fundamental to setting the scene and creating the desired atmosphere. We understand that each event is unique, and the details are what truly elevate an occasion from good to unforgettable. Our extensive range of chairs offers a solution for every style, from the timeless elegance of our Chiavari chairs, which are a perennial favourite for weddings and formal dinners. Available in classic black for sharp sophistication, pristine white for a fresh, airy feel, or a warm limewash that perfectly complements rustic barn conversions and country house settings. For those seeking a touch of refined artistry, the Wishbone chair adds a sculptural quality, making for striking and memorable wedding photographs. The Cross Back chair in oak evokes a sense of relaxed, natural charm, making it a popular choice for vineyard celebrations and garden parties. For more contemporary and corporate settings, our versatile banqueting chairs provide a clean, comfortable, and stylish option, available in a variety of finishes and upholstery to seamlessly integrate with your chosen colour palette and theme.
The foundation of any successful dining experience lies in the tables. A 6ft circular banqueting table is a classic choice, comfortably seating up to ten guests and fostering a convivial, sociable atmosphere perfect for encouraging conversation. If your event calls for a more formal or structured dining arrangement, our robust rectangular tables are ideal for creating grand long banquets, elegant head tables, or flexible configurations. For drinks receptions, networking events, or cocktail-style gatherings, our sophisticated poseur tables, often paired with our stylish bar stools, create a chic, informal, and engaging setting. Beyond indoor spaces, we also offer a comprehensive selection of outdoor furniture, including charming bistro sets for intimate al fresco dining and comfortable lounge seating for relaxed garden parties and courtyard events, ensuring your celebration can flow seamlessly between indoor and outdoor spaces.
For those hosting events that involve catering, reliable equipment is paramount. Local people often need dependable cooking equipment for larger gatherings, such as professional-grade ovens and hobs, to ensure delicious meals can be prepared efficiently. Access to adequate cold storage is absolutely essential, which is why our fridge hire and freezer options are consistently popular, offering peace of mind that ingredients will be kept fresh and safe. Maintaining the perfect serving temperature for food is crucial for guest satisfaction; our specialised warming equipment, including versatile bain-maries and efficient hot cupboards, guarantees that every dish is served at its absolute best. For the seamless service of beverages, a range of beverage equipment, such as large-capacity urns and essential water boilers, is frequently requested. And of course, no dining experience is complete without impeccable presentation. We provide a comprehensive selection of pristine crockery, sparkling clean cutlery, and a wide array of appropriate glassware – from elegant wine and champagne flutes for formal occasions to robust pint glasses for more casual affairs. To complete the aesthetic and ensure a polished finish, don't overlook our beautiful tablecloths and coordinating napkins, available in a spectrum of colours and fabrics to perfectly complement your event's theme.
