The Moonraker Wedding & Event Equipment Hire | Expo Hire Bristol & Avon

The Moonraker, nestled between Trowbridge and Bradford on Avon, offers a versatile space for a range of events, from intimate celebrations to larger gatherings. For those planning a wedding, a corporate function, or a significant party, the right equipment makes all the different. Expo Hire Bristol & Avon supplies essential kit to your room or stand.

Planning a wedding at The Moonraker means the reception is key. Every table, every chair, every piece of linen and glass contributes to the atmosphere. We deliver furniture and tableware for weddings across England and Wales, and collect it all afterwards. Chair choice, for instance, shapes every photograph and every table setting. Chiavari chairs are a classic choice: black offers sharp sophistication, white feels fresh and airy, and limewash provides rustic warmth, a good match with The Moonraker's setting for country house vibes. The Wishbone chair adds a sculptural element that looks great in photos. For a more relaxed, natural feel, the Cross Back in oak is a favourite, especially for garden or more informal settings.

Tables are the foundation of your event setup. A 6ft round banqueting table seats up to 10 guests, ideal for fostering conversation. For more structured events, we supply 8ft rectangular banqueting tables, seating around 8-10 guests depending on the arrangement. These tables pair well with our tablecloths. Crisp white tablecloths suit a formal dinner, or a deep navy provides a richer feel. And don't forget chair covers to complement your chosen aesthetic.

Beyond the main seating, consider the details. Crockery hire is essential, from dinner plates to side plates, and cutlery hire provides the finishing touch to each place setting. For drinks, we stock a wide range of glassware. Wine glasses are important, but also consider champagne flutes for toasts and beer glasses if needed. The full glassware range covers all bases.

For corporate events or exhibitions held at The Moonraker, the equipment needs can shift. For meetings in the three configurable rooms, you might need table hire for delegate workstations or refreshment areas. A 12ft rectangular table can serve as a central point for catering or display.

If you're planning a reception or a more relaxed networking event, bar furniture comes into play. This includes poseur tables and matching bar stools, creating a sophisticated lounge area. LED furniture adds a modern, vibrant element to any event space.

For events requiring a breakout or chill-out zone, our sofas and lounge furniture can create comfortable seating areas. We also have bean bags for a more informal, relaxed vibe, perfect for breaking up a longer conference day.

The Moonraker offers outdoor space for drinks receptions or summer celebrations. We provide outdoor furniture, including tables and chairs, suitable for al fresco dining or lounging. If the weather is unpredictable, gazebo hire offers shelter, and patio heaters, like our Bromic patio heaters, can keep guests warm on cooler evenings. We also offer outdoor catering equipment such as BBQs.

Exhibitions at venues like The Moonraker often require specific setups. Expo Hire offers exhibition furniture, including display counters and tables. Display cabinets are ideal for showcasing products, and barrier hire can help manage crowd flow or delineate spaces.

Our service to The Moonraker, and all venues, delivers equipment to event locations. We don't just drop items at the entrance. Our team delivers your hired equipment to the specific room for your event or to your exhibition stand. This saves you time and effort on the day, allowing you to focus on your guests or your exhibition.

For catering-focused events, whether it's a buffet, a sit-down meal, or a pop-up bar, we have a range of catering equipment. This includes fridges and freezers for keeping produce fresh, warming equipment to keep food at serving temperature, and essential bar equipment and serving accessories. If you're planning street food style catering, we have street food equipment too.

What kind of events are typical at The Moonraker? We see weddings, of course, with all the associated furniture, tableware, and glassware. Corporate events are also common, ranging from small meetings needing a conference table and chairs to larger banquets requiring full table settings. We've also supplied equipment for private parties and celebrations, where our sofas and LED furniture create lounges, and bars use our bar furniture.

Organisers often tell us they need to factor in everything from the main seating to the smallest detail. A common request is for enough cutlery for each guest, including dessert spoons and potentially teaspoons. Organisers also request the right quantity and type of glassware. Dinner needs enough wine glasses. A welcome drink might need prosecco glasses.

Regarding delivery, simply provide us with the details of your event room or stand number at The Moonraker when booking. Our logistics team plans routes, so your items arrive on time and in the right place, ready for your setup. We understand that events have tight schedules, especially weddings and exhibitions, so punctuality and precise placement are paramount.

The benefit of hiring from Expo Hire is the breadth of our inventory. You can source furniture, linen, crockery, cutlery, and glassware all from one supplier, simplifying your planning. We aim to provide the practical elements that underpin a successful event, allowing you to focus on the overall experience you want to create at The Moonraker.
