Furniture for dining rooms and receptions

Start with the room plan and guest numbers. Chiavari chairs and banqueting chairs work for formal dinners, while poseur tables, coffee tables and lounge furniture help with drinks receptions, networking spaces and quieter seating areas.

Round tables suit most wedding breakfasts and private dinners, while trestle tables work for top tables, registration points, gift tables and service areas. Because the Bodleian can involve several rooms or a split layout, it helps to order front-of-house furniture and practical service tables together.

Tableware and linen in one order

Expo Hire supplies tablecloths, napkins, crockery, cutlery, wine glasses and champagne flutes as part of the same booking. That keeps the table setup consistent and avoids mixing several suppliers for one event.

If you need a reception bar or staffed drinks point, add glassware, bar counters, back-bar items and ice service equipment at the same time. We also supply coffee machines, display fridges and service kit for caterers working on site.

Delivery planning for the venue

Bodleian events often depend on tight delivery windows and careful room setup. Expo Hire can deliver to the agreed access point, label mixed orders clearly and collect after the event when the venue is ready. You can check live stock online before you book, with no security deposit and a free Minor Damage Waiver on every hire.
