Vanners Farm Wedding Hire

Vanners Farm in Berkshire is a farm wedding venue offering outdoor and covered event spaces for weddings and private celebrations. Farm venues like Vanners are blank-canvas spaces where outside caterers and event organisers bring in the full equipment package, from furniture and catering apparatus through to tableware and linen.

What Equipment Do You Need?

Farm venues provide the outdoor or barn space, but outside caterers and event organisers supply everything else. A full farm wedding equipment list includes chairs, tables, linen, crockery, cutlery, glassware, and catering equipment. The scale depends on the number of guests and the format of the event.

Seating and Tables

Chiavari chairs are the most popular formal chair for farm wedding breakfasts in the South East. They give a smart, clean look inside a barn or marquee structure. For a more relaxed outdoor look, garden chairs suit drinks receptions and informal outdoor dining on the farm grounds.

Round tables for 8 or 10 guests set the formal layout inside a barn or marquee. Trestle tables are used for the bar, buffet service, outdoor canapé stations, and cake displays. For informal outdoor wedding setups, long rectangular tables give a relaxed, communal feel.

Catering Equipment

Outside caterers at a Berkshire farm need a self-contained mobile kitchen. Hot cupboards keep plated meals at temperature during service. Bain maries and chafing dishes handle buffet food. Urns cover tea and coffee. Fridges and bottle coolers keep drinks cold. Access to water and power connections should be confirmed with the venue before placing a catering equipment hire order. Expo Hire delivers catering equipment to Thames Valley farm venues and beyond.

Linen and Finishing

Tablecloths and napkins are needed for every guest table. Farm weddings often favour natural tones, soft neutrals, and earthy colours, though white and ivory remain the most popular for formal wedding breakfasts. Chair covers or sashes can be added to any chair to align with the wedding colour scheme.
