The reception room matters. Every table, every chair, every cloth and glass shapes what guests walk into and remember. Expo Hire delivers furniture and tableware to events across England and Wales and returns to collect everything. This page is about Wardle, a village on the edge of Rochdale, known for its lovely rural feel and proximity to beautiful reservoirs. We deliver a lot of equipment to this area for all sorts of events, from private parties to corporate gatherings and community fêtes.
If you're planning an event in Wardle or the surrounding areas like Smallbridge, Syke, or Bamford, we've got you covered. We understand that events here can range from intimate garden parties using our outdoor furniture and gazebo hire, to larger functions requiring more substantial catering setups. We regularly supply cooking equipment, fridge hire, and warming equipment for events where catering is a central focus. Imagine perfectly chilled drinks from our commercial fridges, or hot food kept at the ideal temperature with our bain-maries and chafing dishes. We also supply a lot of crockery and cutlery, from simple, elegant dinner plates that form the foundation of any place setting, to comprehensive sets of individual pieces designed for every course of a formal meal. We offer a range of styles, from rustic charm to contemporary chic, ensuring your tableware perfectly complements the ambiance you wish to create.
For parties and gatherings, people in the Wardle area often ask for a mix of comfortable seating and functional tables. Our chairs are popular, with a range of styles to suit different occasions. Explore our versatile range, from classic wooden banqueting chairs perfect for formal dinners to our more contemporary, comfortable upholstered options that add a touch of luxury. For more casual events, our bean bags and sofas work well, creating a relaxed and inviting atmosphere for guests to mingle. If you're hosting a sit-down meal, our banqueting tables, like the popular 6ft round ones which seat 10 comfortably, are a standard request and provide a focal point for your dining experience. For drinks receptions and cocktail parties, bar furniture and bar stools are often needed, especially when combined with our comprehensive bar equipment, including everything from cocktail shakers to ice buckets.
Local venues around Wardle, such as community halls or function rooms in nearby Rochdale, often require straightforward, durable furniture that’s easy to set up and take down, allowing for quick transformations between events. We also serve the more rural outskirts, where events might take place in marquees or open outdoor spaces. For these, robust outdoor tables and chairs are essential, designed to withstand the elements while providing comfortable seating for your guests. If your event has a more contemporary feel, consider our innovative LED furniture, which can add a vibrant, modern glow to your setting, or our sleek poseur tables, perfect for creating an elegant standing reception area.
We often get asked for glassware too, and we offer an extensive selection to suit every beverage and occasion. For formal dinners, elegant wine glasses are a must, available in various shapes to enhance the enjoyment of different varietals. For celebrations, sparkling champagne glasses are always in demand, ready to toast any special moment. For more casual get-togethers, people often opt for robust beer glasses, including pint and half-pint options, or a curated selection of cocktail glasses to serve everything from martinis to margaritas. Don't forget the essential bar accessories to go with them, such as ice buckets, bottle openers, and cocktail stirrers, alongside all your crockery needs. We also supply beautiful tablecloths and coordinating napkins in a spectrum of colours and fabrics, from crisp white cotton to rich velvet, to perfectly complement your chosen theme and elevate your table settings.
For larger events or those needing a substantial catering setup, think about our comprehensive beverage equipment, including commercial coffee machines and tea urns, alongside our essential serving accessories like platters, serving spoons, and display stands. If you’re planning an outdoor event, particularly during cooler months or for evening gatherings, our efficient patio heaters and versatile gazebos are very popular, providing warmth and shelter. We also supply high-quality BBQ hire for those warmer days when an outdoor grill is just the ticket for a relaxed and convivial dining experience.
