Planning a wedding could be considered a full time job to a person who likes to take the bull by the horns and really make it their mission to bring their dream to life. Years ago, you’d have to do a lot of the hard yards when it comes to sourcing furniture, napery and homewares that would contribute to your vision taking shape – but thankfully, those days are gone.
Now, it couldn’t be simpler to pull together all the parts you need to make your wedding day everything you dreamed it would be – thanks to wedding event hire businesses. From a wedding celebration that looks and feels like you’re perched hillside in a villa in Capri, to a secret garden soiree as intimate and filled with beautiful details you’ll remember forever – this is what a wedding event hire business can do for you, all at a click of a button.
What to look for in a wedding event hire business:
– Pieces that ‘wow’
Many event hire businesses source pieces from overseas, and hire them out for weddings and special events. Often aside from just your standard tables and chairs, they will have incredible lounges, or signing table options, maybe even elegant high tables and bar stools for a cocktail wedding.
– Adequate quantity of the pieces you need
The worst thing that could happen is that you find dining chairs you adore, but they only have half the quantity you need. Make sure you have all your totals in mind before you start looking.
– Hassle-free drop off and pick up of items
In addition to this, make sure you read over the agreement and policy regarding the hire of the items. Is there a cleaning fee? Do you need to take steps to protect the items? Make sure you read the fine print!
