Today’s guide outlines our top ten essential features to consider when hiring glassware to ensure every piece adds elegance and function to your event, and to find the best glassware hire supplier for YOUR event – naturally, though, we hope it will be easyEventhire!
Quality and durability
Quality glassware is essential to enhance the dining experience and withstand frequent use. Look for glassware made from durable materials like tempered glass or crystal, which are less likely to chip or break. Ensure that your preferred glassware rental company maintains high standards in glassware quality.
Variety of styles and designs
A diverse selection of glassware styles allows you to match your event’s theme and elevate its visual appeal. Choose from classic wine glasses, modern stemless designs, elegant champagne flutes and versatile water glasses. Your glassware rental company should offer a variety of options to suit different beverage types and preferences.
Matching your event theme
Ensure that the glassware complements your event’s decor and ambience. Whether you’re hosting a formal gala, a rustic wedding or a corporate cocktail party, the glassware should align with the overall theme. Consider options like coloured glasses, textured glasses such as our cut glass Whisky tumblers, or patterned glassware such as our ranges of patterned silver rim glassware and patterned gold rim glassware.
Quantity flexibility
Flexibility in the quantity of glassware available for hire is crucial, especially for events with varying guest counts. Your chosen glassware hire company should accommodate your specific needs, providing you with the ability to chop and change as the event gets closer – after all, we all know that plan DO change.
Delivery and collection options
Reliable delivery and collection services ensure that the glassware arrives on time and is collected promptly after the event. Pricing information about transport rates is easily accessible here at easyEventhire, and you can even choose your delivery and collection time slots. And, aside from our paid transport service, remember that you can self-collect and self-return for FREE!
Cleanliness and hygiene standards
Cleanliness is paramount when it comes to glassware hire. Ensure that the rental company you decide upon adheres to strict hygiene standards and sanitises the glassware thoroughly before each rental. Transparent cleaning processes and protocols should be clearly communicated to maintain guest confidence. The last thing you want is to be having to clean off any lipstick marks or dust just prior to the start of your event.
Breakage and damage policies
Understanding the policies regarding breakage and damage is essential for managing potential liabilities when it comes to glassware hire for events – it is glass, after all! Make sure you enquire about any damage waiver options or insurance coverage offered by the supplier. You need to clarify responsibilities and costs associated with accidental breakages during the event.
Additional accessories and services
Consider additional accessories and services offered by your rental company, such as glassware crates for transportation and storage to minimise the chance of damage during transport. Here at easyEventhire, all our glassware hire for events items come in plastic crates to provide protection. And remember – you are only responsible for the glassware when you take receipt of it, so it might be worth using our transport service after all!
Eco-friendly options
For environmentally conscious events, look for rental companies that offer eco-friendly glassware options. Why not consider ‘glassware’ made from recycled materials or opt for reusable cup alternatives that minimise waste. It’s certainly worth enquiring about the rental company’s sustainability practices and recycling initiatives.
Reputation and customer reviews
It goes without saying that it’s always a good idea to research the glassware rental company’s reputation and read customer reviews to gauge their reliability and service quality. Look for testimonials that highlight positive experiences with glassware quality, customer support and overall satisfaction. A reputable provider with a track record of excellence ensures peace of mind for your event.
