As part of my every day job as being Head of Marketing and Communications, I always seem to be helping the team plan for our next upcoming event. Whether it’s hosting guests at The BRIT Awards, organising a private influencer dinner or even arranging the work Christmas party, over the years I’ve learnt a thing or two about event planning. What works and what, well, doesn’t.
One of the key things to remember are the little extras that will let guests know you’ve been paying attention to the details! It speaks volumes about you and your company. When planning an event you don’t only have to hire the likes of tables and chairs, but you also have a vast assortment of accessories you could require. Do you want to give your event an exclusive feel with a red carpet? Perhaps you want to bring the fun factor with dance floor hire for wedding bands or birthday singers? Read on to discover some ideas…
No one wants to have to carry around their coat or jacket with them when they are at an event. A coat rail ensures they won’t have to!
For outdoor events, a parasol can prove to be extremely beneficial, as it offers a shaded area for guests to enjoy.
If you are hosting an event outdoors a gazebo is a must. It provides a shaded area for guests to stay out of any wind and potential rain.
Do you need to divide up a large room? Freestanding screens are particularly popular for those wanting to create small working areas, as well as for use in exams, at shopping centres and at trade events.
Are you looking to bring some fun to the occasion you are planning? If so, giant bricks are an excellent option, especially for children’s events.
Give your event an exclusive and extravagant edge with red carpet hire.
If you are planning on hiring a red carpet or simply want to section off an area of your venue, rope and post hire is ideal. It will add an element of lavishness to any event.
Everyone wants to check they are looking ok at some point during an event, and a full length mirror gives them an opportunity to do so, a great choice for cloakrooms and such like!
From weddings, to conferences, to banquets, table numbers are ideal for events of a large capacity.
Are you looking for an effective way to display leaflets and brochures to the public?
Lecterns are extremely popular for any events whereby someone is going to be giving a speech or presentation. They boast pre-cut holes so that any cables can neatly run down the floor.
Perfect for art galleries and any type of art exhibition.
Give your party the wow factor with smoke machine hire! These are popular for all celebratory occasions, especially birthday events.
Bring some fun to the venue with a bubble machine. From club nights to celebrations, these machines inject some playfulness with a stream of bubbles.
Are you hosting a kid’s party? If so, you should definitely consider hiring a fun Giant 4 in a Row. Bigger in size, bigger in terms of entertainment!
Table football hire is extremely popular amongst those hosting outdoor events.
Who doesn’t love a barbecue during the summer season? A portable and lightweight BBQ is the perfect choice for any outdoor event.
Ashtray bins are recommended for all events, ensuring the area is kept tidy.
