There is a lot to decide when planning an event – setting a budget, selecting a venue, and figuring out what, if anything, to serve can take up a lot of time, focus, and energy. Of course these are all important things to determine, but one important element is often overlooked until it’s almost too late: furniture hire. Getting the right furniture hire is extremely important because this is what will give off the overall impression of your event. Successful events are ones where the right furniture hire is made to give your guests the best possible lasting impression.
Consider Your Theme
When looking for furniture hire, be sure to keep the event’s theme in mind. What will work for an elegant, black tie wedding won’t be the same thing that would be appropriate for a business meeting. Every venue has its own unique look and feel, so try to keep the furniture in a similar style. Nothing stands out more than cheap furniture in a beautiful hall, or overly ornate furniture in a more relaxed venue. This gives the appearance of thoughtlessness, and after all the time and effort planning the perfect event takes, hosts want their guests to leave feeling the event was a success, not the result of last minute thinking.
Consistency Is Key
Be sure to choose a furniture hire service that has enough of the same style of furniture to suit the needs of the event and the guests. Each chair should be the same, and should complement the tables and other pieces hired in order to give the impression of uniformity. Don’t order half of one style and half of another, hoping that it will all work out once they are delivered – this gives off a sloppy look, and makes it seem like there are multiple events happening at the same time. It’s a small detail that many overlook, but definitely one that hosts need to keep in mind.
Don’t Forget Linens
A successful event needs a lot more than a few chairs and a table. Regardless of what type of event you’re planning, don’t forget to order linen. While it may not be appropriate for the type or style of chair chosen, the right type of linen in the right style and colour will compliment nearly any type of table ordered. The right linen gives a clean and crisp impression, and can instantly add an element of class and style to even the drabbest venue.
