Choosing your chairs is an art form in itself, setting the tone for your entire reception. Chiavari chairs are a perennial favourite, and for very good reason. In a classic black, they exude sharp sophistication, suited to a formal affair. Opt for white, and they bring a fresh, airy feel that's ideal for lighter, sun-drenched rooms. The limewash finish offers rustic warmth, a delightful choice for The Fairways' more traditional or country-inspired spaces, adding a touch of natural charm. For those seeking a more contemporary aesthetic, the Wishbone chair boasts a real sculptural quality, its clean lines and organic shape making it a standout piece, especially for capturing those cherished wedding photographs. If your heart is set on a relaxed, natural vibe, perhaps with nods to an outdoor ceremony or reception, the Cross Back chair in oak is a solid, beloved favourite. Its sturdy construction complements a natural or bohemian theme.

Then there are the tables, the very foundation upon which your wedding feast and guest interactions will unfold. Our standard round tables, such as the 6ft circular banqueting tables, seat up to 10 guests, fostering convivial conversation. If you envision a communal dining experience or require a different layout for your room plan, we also offer larger 8ft circular tables. These tables accommodate up to 12 guests. For couples aiming for a more contemporary, sleek setup, our 180cm rectangular tables are an excellent choice, typically seating 6-8 guests and allowing for dynamic room arrangements. The shape and configuration of your tables impact the flow of your reception space and how your guests mingle and connect throughout the celebration.

Linen changes the look. Your table linen is key to establishing the overall aesthetic and luxurious feel of your wedding breakfast. We offer a full range of colours and sizes to complement your chosen theme. Our standard 70 x 100 inch rectangular tablecloths are a popular choice and fit many of our tables. Confirm precise measurements for your specific table arrangement. Napkins, a smaller detail, add polish and elegance. Napkins come in many colors. Napkins match your theme or colour palette. Beautiful chair covers unify seating arrangements and provide a blank canvas for your desired du00e9cor.

The dining experience essentials are paramount: exquisite plates, elegant cutlery. If your menu includes starters or delightful desserts, we offer bowls. We supply basic white dinner plates. They serve as a versatile backdrop for any cuisine. We also supply uniquely shaped options that add artistry to your table setting. Our cutlery sets include knives, forks, spoons, and teaspoons. Guests have dinnerware for each course. It's always worth considering if your menu might benefit from additional items like dainty side plates for bread rolls or comforting soup bowls for a winter wedding.

Glassware quality improves the guest experience and makes a lasting impression. For enjoying fine wines, elegant wine glasses are an absolute must. We offer standard wine glasses. We also have larger bowl options that allow specific varietals to breathe and their aromas to develop. Sparkling champagne glasses are essential for toasts. Our selection suits raising a glass to the happy couple. To serve all beverage preferences, we also stock a range of beer glasses, stylish cocktail glasses, and versatile tumblers suitable for spirits, mixers, or refreshing soft drinks. Maintain a full glassware supply for all anticipated drinks service. This supports smooth planning.

The bar area itself is often a focal point for social interaction and deserves special attention. If The Fairways Hotel does not provide a dedicated bar setup or if you have a specific vision for creating a unique bar experience, we offer stylish bar furniture. This includes sleek poseur tables and their matching bar stools, which are suited to creating a more relaxed, standing reception atmosphere. These elements can effectively establish a vibrant social hub for your guests to gather and mingle. We also supply essential bar equipment. This includes professional speed rails for efficient drink preparation and chic ice buckets. Ice buckets keep beverages chilled, contributing to a smooth and sophisticated bar service.

Consider the practical flow and transitions of your wedding day. Will your guests move from an on-site ceremony to a reception space? Do you envision a separate, dedicated area for a welcome drinks reception to allow guests to mingle before the main meal? Our versatile outdoor furniture can be an invaluable asset if you plan on making the most of any beautiful garden or patio spaces at The Fairways Hotel. Place elegant gazebos. They shelter guests from elements or define outdoor areas. Gazebos create intimate zones for relaxation or conversation. As evening draws in, patio heaters provide guest comfort, especially for outdoor celebrations. Guests enjoy the atmosphere long into the night.
