Wedding Equipment Hire at Swinton Estate
Wedding Equipment Hire at Swinton Estate
Swinton Estate is a estate wedding venue in York. White Rose Hire, the Yorkshire branch of Expo Hire UK Ltd, supplies furniture, tableware and catering equipment for weddings and events across the region. This page sets out the items couples and planners most often order for this venue type.
If you are planning a wedding at Swinton Estate, you can hire chairs, tables, linen, crockery, cutlery, glassware and catering support in one order. That keeps the room plan, the meal service and the return collection in one booking.
Estate weddings often spread guests across house rooms, gardens and marquee space, so the equipment order needs clear planning from the start. White Rose Hire supplies dining furniture, outdoor furniture, tableware and catering support that lets the venue team run each part of the day without gaps.
White Rose Hire covers Yorkshire venues from Leeds and Bradford to York, Harrogate, Sheffield and Hull. If your venue team needs extra dining furniture, matching tableware or back-of-house equipment for catering, we can build the order around the venue timetable and guest numbers.
The core order starts with chairs and tables. Many Yorkshire weddings use banqueting chairs or wedding chairs, round dining tables, cake tables and a signing table. Barn and country venues also use trestle tables, poseur tables and outdoor heaters where guests move between the ceremony, drinks and evening reception.
Table presentation comes next. That covers linen hire, napkins, charger plates, crockery, cutlery and glassware. A clean hire order keeps the room consistent from the first place setting to the final toast.
If the venue or caterer needs support behind the scenes, White Rose Hire can also supply catering equipment, hot cupboards, fridges, service tables and bar items. That matters on larger weddings where food service, drinks service and turnaround time all need the same level of planning as the room itself.
Most couples start with the guest list and work back to the order. The table below gives a practical guide for the quantities that often appear on Yorkshire wedding orders.
| Guest count | Typical chair and table order | Tableware guide | Service notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 guests | 50 chairs, 6 to 7 round tables, 2 cake or gift tables | 60 wine glasses, 50 dinner plates, 50 starter or dessert plates, 50 place settings | Suited to smaller dining rooms and a compact drinks reception. |

| 150 guests | 150 chairs, 15 to 18 round tables, 6 poseur tables | 180 to 220 glasses, 150 dinner plates, 150 starter or dessert plates, 150 place settings | Allows for a larger meal service and stronger bar demand. |

These figures are guides, not fixed rules. Your caterer, menu, venue layout and drinks plan can move the numbers up or down. White Rose Hire can price the order around the way your venue team expects to serve the room.
Weddings at Swinton Estate often need more than front-of-house furniture. The order may also need prep tables, hot holding, fridge space, coffee service, extra glassware, ice buckets, bar tables and other service items so the caterer and bar team can keep pace from drinks reception to evening service.
White Rose Hire delivers across England and Wales, with Yorkshire routes covering Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, York, Harrogate, Hull, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Doncaster and Rotherham. Delivery starts at £40 plus VAT and the charge rises by distance from the nearest depot. Sunday delivery is available, which helps on venues that turn rooms over at the weekend or need access outside a weekday window.
All hire is dry hire. We deliver the stock ready for use and collect it after the event, but we do not set up chairs, tables or catering equipment. If the venue has loading rules, timed access or a preferred delivery point, have that information ready before you book.
Start with the guest count, the room plan and the food and drinks service. Build the order around the chair style, table layout and tableware count you need, then add any catering or bar equipment. If you want help before checkout, call 0800 910 1100.
