How to Choose Tables and Chairs for Hire That Wow Guests

Did you know that the right combination of tables and chairs for hire can make your venue a lot more organised and comfortable? In this guide, we’re walking you through the essentials of choosing the right tables and chairs so you can browse our catalogue and choose the pieces that fit your event best.

General things to think about when choosing tables and chairs for hire

Make sure their size and style match your event theme and venue. Your guests should have enough room to move and socialise comfortably. If your event takes place outdoors, prioritise sturdy pieces that handle changing weather conditions.

At Areeka Event Rentals, you can also find the finest selection of tabletop décor and accessories to complete your setup. They add colour and texture to your tables, giving your space a more polished look.

When it comes to tables, it’s all in the shape

The shape of the tables you choose can actually define the flow and feel of your event! Round tables encourage your guests to talk and socialise, making them perfect for weddings and formal events. Meanwhile, rectangular tables are perfect for corporate functions and larger gatherings where you need clear lines and efficient use of space.
For standing receptions, use cocktail tables to give guests a place to gather without interrupting the flow. For outdoor events, choose pallet or barrel-type tables to add texture and character. Stick to a consistent style across your tables and chairs for hire to keep the space cohesive and well-organised.

Pick chairs that go with your event’s aesthetic

The chairs you rent can contribute just as much to your event’s overall design as tables. Folding chairs suit casual events and large crowds where practicality comes first. Want to create a more refined setting? Consider renting Chiavari chairs, especially for formal occasions. Meanwhile, upholstered options like this Addison Black Velvet Armchair balance comfort with a more polished look. For outdoor settings, a wooden sofa like the Norfolk 2-Seater keeps guests comfortable while maintaining a cohesive design across the space.
