Chair hire for weddings and events

At Options Greathire, we offer a comprehensive range of chair hire services for events in London, Manchester, and across the UK. Whether you're organising a wedding, ceremony, corporate function, or dinner reception, no event is complete without the right seating. From the ceremony to the cocktail hour, the dinner, and the after-dinner reception, every part of your event requires stylish and comfortable seating for your guests.

With our extensive selection of chairs, stools, and benches, you can truly transform any venue. Why settle for ordinary furniture when you can choose from hundreds of stylish chair hire options in various designs, colours, and materials at Options Greathire, available in London and Manchester?

Hiring chairs for an event is about more than just providing a place to sit—it’s about setting the tone, creating the right atmosphere, and ensuring your guests feel comfortable and welcomed throughout. The seating you choose influences not only the visual style of your space but also the overall flow and functionality of your event. Whether you're planning an intimate celebration or a large corporate function, chair hire allows you to tailor the look and feel of your event without the constraints of buying or storing furniture. It offers flexibility, convenience, and professionalism in one seamless service. At Options Greathire, we believe every seat plays a part in your event’s success, which is why we offer expert guidance and premium solutions to ensure flawless execution from start to finish.

At Options Greathire, we offer a wide selection of chairs to match every event aesthetic and purpose. For weddings and formal receptions, refined styles such as Chiavari or Louis chairs add sophistication and romance to the setting. Contemporary events benefit from sleek ghost or acrylic chairs, offering a minimalist and modern touch. For business meetings, conferences or presentations, we provide ergonomic chairs that support professional comfort and polished presentation. When space-saving is key, our folding and stackable chairs provide practical yet stylish solutions, ideal for large-scale events or venues with dynamic layouts. We also offer elegant lounge seating and occasional chairs, perfect for relaxed zones, networking areas or cocktail events. No matter the occasion, our curated range ensures your vision is supported with quality and flair.

Choosing to hire chairs brings multiple advantages that go beyond aesthetics. Firstly, it offers complete convenience, eliminating the need to purchase, store, transport or maintain large volumes of furniture. Secondly, it grants access to a diverse and high-end catalogue that might be cost-prohibitive to own. Whether you're planning a luxurious wedding or a practical conference, chair hire gives you the flexibility to align the seating with your theme, without compromise.

Moreover, professional hire services like ours ensure that delivery, setup and post-event collection are all handled with precision, allowing you to focus on hosting rather than logistics. By hiring from Options Greathire, you benefit from expertise, reliability and quality, ensuring every guest is comfortably seated and every detail contributes to a cohesive, elegant environment.

Selecting the perfect chair for your event begins with understanding the venue, atmosphere, and guest expectations. A romantic garden wedding calls for delicate designs in soft tones, such as Chiavari chairs dressed with cushions or ribbons. In contrast, a contemporary product launch in central London may require transparent acrylic chairs that reflect a clean, modern identity.

For conferences or seminars, comfort is key, so upholstered or ergonomic chairs should be considered. If your event is casual or outdoors, rustic wooden seating or simple bistro chairs can enhance the relaxed charm. It’s also essential to consider layout and spacing—some venues may require stackable or foldable models for easy rearrangement. Our expert team is always on hand to guide you, ensuring that your choice is aligned with your vision, venue, and practical requirements.

Weddings and milestone events deserve a seating arrangement that elevates the mood and complements the décor. At Options Greathire, we provide an exceptional collection of wedding chairs designed to match a variety of themes, from traditional elegance to contemporary glamour. Our popular Louis and Chiavari chairs bring a refined charm to any ceremony or reception, while more modern or creative celebrations may opt for our designer ranges.

Special occasions such as engagement parties, birthdays, anniversaries, and themed galas also benefit from custom chair hire that matches the scale and emotion of the event. With options for personalisation through cushions, covers, or decorative accents, your seating becomes more than functional—it becomes part of the experience and the memory.

When hiring chairs with Options Greathire, you receive more than just furniture—you gain a partner in logistics and execution. Our delivery and setup services are tailored to minimise disruption and ensure smooth installation. From the moment your booking is confirmed, our team coordinates with your venue to ensure timely delivery and professional placement of each chair according to your layout plan.

After the event, we handle the collection with the same attention to detail, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—your guests and the success of your event. This full-service approach is what sets us apart and ensures that every chair is exactly where it should be, at the right time and in perfect condition.

We provide a comprehensive selection of chairs suited to weddings, corporate events, private functions, and more. Our range includes elegant and formal styles, modern minimalist designs, comfortable lounge options, and practical solutions for large-scale seating. Each chair is available in multiple finishes, colours and configurations, allowing you to tailor your choice precisely to your event’s character and requirements.

Chair hire pricing depends on the style, quantity and duration of your rental. Entry-level options for practical events are generally more affordable, while luxury or designer chairs may command a higher rate. However, all our hire packages are flexible and competitively priced to ensure value for money. We also offer bespoke quotes based on your event’s specific needs, ensuring you only pay for what’s required without unnecessary extras.

To secure the widest range of styles and guarantee availability, we recommend booking your chairs at least four to six weeks in advance. This is particularly important during peak event seasons such as summer, Christmas and early spring. However, we understand that last-minute changes happen, and we always do our best to accommodate urgent requests depending on stock availability.

Not at all. We manage the entire logistics process, including delivery, professional setup, and collection after the event. Our experienced team will work directly with your venue or planner to ensure everything is timed perfectly, allowing you to focus on your event with full peace of mind.

You’ll receive the same high standards of product quality, delivery, and customer care regardless of your event’s duration. Flexibility is at the heart of what we do, and we adapt to suit your timeline.
