Today’s article looks at what table and chair hire you might need if you are organising a corporate event, of any kind.
One of the many things that you will need to organise as a corporate event planner is your furniture hire such as table and chair hire, especially for larger events, and at ‘blank canvas’ event spaces where you are, quite literally, hiring the space and nothing else.
And, of course, there is a whole world of event types that fall under the umbrella of ‘corporate events‘. In this article, we take a look at some examples of these, and what table and chair hire you might need for them.
Hospitality / dining event
Put simply, the larger the organisation, the more frequent these sorts of events will be! Hospitality forms a big part of the marketing budget for these organisations – it might be that they are holding a dinner for key clients, or perhaps are sponsoring a high profile event and are doing some PR work around this.
Whatever it is, hospitality means dining, and for sure you are going to need to hire tables and chairs for your event. Of course, it depends upon the type of dining you are planning – it might be an informal canape event where finger food is the order of the day, or a buffet, or maybe a formal, sit-down dinner with silver service. The types of chairs and tables you will need for each of these is different, but not exclusively so. Canape events are often stand-up occasions, but it certainly wouldn’t hurt to have some poseur tables and stools dotted around the venue and, likewise, some sofas and armchairs so that your guests can relax, socialise and network in comfort.
By the same token, for buffets, why not check out our Rio chairs and Rio dining tables, which provide a modern look and finish, and are informal yet still professional and stylish. And, if it’s a formal dining event, you’ll be needing banqueting chairs and tables such as the classic Chiavari chair or Napoleon chair – you can even choose your seat pad colour if you go down this route!
Family BBQ day
These types of family away days are growing in popularity all the time, as engaging the family with an employee’s organisation goes a long way to making them feel valued. Away days can take on many forms, but a great example would be a BBQ, where families can come along an enjoy some food and drink, socialise, and maybe play some garden games with others.
For this type of day, you’ll be needing to hire outdoor tables and chairs, maybe some outdoor rattan furniture in the form of rattan sofas, armchairs and coffee table sets, perhaps some parasols and maybe even picnic benches and deckchairs. All you then need to do is pray for some good weather!
Christmas party
For many employees, the Christmas party is the social highlight of the year – a great opportunity to let your hair down and enjoy the company of your fellow employees in a non-office setting. Christmas parties vary wildly in size, from small office parties through to huge arena Christmas parties, normally depending very much on the size of the organisation.
Again, dining and banqueting will be the order of the day, so dining chairs and tables will be needed, as these parties normally take the form of a drinks reception then dinner, and followed by entertainment and dancing. Don’t forget to hire lounge furniture such as sofas and armchairs along with coffee tables for the chill-out zones, and maybe even some matching leather cube stools to dot around the venue.
Internal meeting
Meetings are often taken care by existing office furniture, but should you need to hire office tables, chairs and desks, then you can do so right here online at easyEventhire. From executive leather chairs through to computer desks, meeting tables and conference tables, we have it all for temporary offices.
Table and chair hire for an award ceremony
Everyone loves these types of event, especially when you are up for an award! This is another example of a dining event, and so round tables with crisp linen, along with chairs with matching seat pads are called for, often in large quantities. easyEventhire has one of the largest stocks of tables and chairs for hire anywhere in the UK, and so we’re able to service multiple events at any one time, nationwide.
So, these are just a few examples of table and chair rental for corporate events that you can choose from. As with any event, it’s important to note that you should always endeavour to place your order sooner rather than later to avoid disappointment as demand is always high at certain points of the year, especially in the summer months and at Christmas.
