Different Types of Tables & Chairs to Hire for Events - BE Event Furniture Hire

 

Tables for Every Type of Event

Hiring the right table can shape the flow, feel and function of your venue. We stock a wide selection of tables that cater to both practical and decorative needs, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Our tables are available in a variety of sizes and materials, from rustic finishes to sleek, modern styles.

  • Our trestle tables are a long-standing favourite for fairs, catering zones, exhibitions and ballot counts. These rectangular tables are straightforward to dress and easy to store, and come in varnished or blow-moulded versions, making them practical and versatile. They are frequently used as buffet stations or back-of-house tables.
  • Round banqueting tables offer a more traditional dining setup, particularly popular for weddings and gala dinners where guest interaction and symmetry are essential. Available in several sizes, they pair beautifully with our Chiavari chairs and are easily dressed with linen to suit your theme.
  • If you are planning an outdoor occasion, our picnic tables provide both function and charm. These dark oak tables, made in Leicestershire, arrive fully assembled. They are popular for festivals, school events, and summer parties. Each picnic table seats up to six guests and includes a central hole for a parasol.
  • For informal and professional events, our bistro and poseur tables are often chosen. These higher tables are a common sight at exhibitions, drinks receptions and café setups. With aluminium, wood, and powder-coated finishes available, they offer a clean and professional aesthetic that works in all kinds of branded or modern environments.
  • We also hire children’s tables in a range of cheerful colours, perfect for birthday parties, family events, and wedding creches. Alongside this, we supply exam desks and other occasional tables, so if you cannot find the table you are after, feel free to ask our team directly.

 

Seating Options for Every Guest

Chairs do more than provide a place to sit; they contribute to the character and comfort of your event. Whether you need refined seating for a wedding ceremony or robust chairs for a village fete, we can provide a seating solution to suit the occasion and setting.

  • Our Chiavari chairs are a timeless choice for elegant weddings, award ceremonies and formal dinners. Available in limewash, gold, silver and crystal resin, they can be tailored to your colour scheme with a wide selection of seat pad options. These chairs are lightweight but sturdy, and they photograph beautifully in both indoor and marquee settings.
  • Folding and banqueting chairs are ideal for community halls, conferences and events where quick setup and efficient storage are essential. Options are available in wood, plastic, and metal. These are some of the most practical chairs in our range and are often used for theatre seating, temporary venues and large-scale outdoor events.
  • Our outdoor seating options include picnic benches, folding wooden chairs, and garden bistro sets. These chairs are made to withstand the British weather and are regularly hired for open-air events such as festivals, outdoor weddings and summer fairs. We also stock aluminium and powder-coated options for added durability.
  • For high tables or space-saving requirements, bar stools are a sleek and stylish option. Commonly seen at product launches, television sets, and networking events, our bar stools are available in chrome, acrylic, wood and other contemporary finishes. These stools can be hired on their own or alongside our poseur tables to complete a bar or lounge area.
  • If you are creating a VIP area or a green room, we also offer sofas and soft seating that deliver comfort and style in more relaxed zones. These are especially useful in backstage areas, waiting lounges or intimate corners within a larger venue.
