Napkins hire for events and weddings

Options Greathire offers napkins hire for weddings and events across London, Manchester, and the UK, with 29 references designed to coordinate with our tablecloth collections. From our signature scalloped-edge napkins to linens that match each patterned range, every napkin is professionally laundered, pressed, and inspected, then delivered ready to place straight onto the table.

The smallest details often leave the strongest impression, and on a beautifully dressed table the napkin is one of them. Folded into a sculptural centrepiece, draped over a charger plate, or tied with a ribbon at each place setting, the right napkin lifts the entire dining experience, and ties your whole tablescape together.

What sets our napkins hire apart is coordination. Rather than a loose assortment of colours, our napkins are built around our table linen collections, so you can dress an entire table with a single, cohesive look. Choose a patterned napkin that echoes your tablecloth, or a clean base tone that lets a statement cloth take centre stage.

Our signature Scallop napkins feature a decorative scalloped edge finished with contrast stitching, a refined detail that reads beautifully in close-up wedding photography. They come in soft beige and crisp white bases, with thread shades including anthracite grey, duck blue, terracotta, dark khaki, black, brown, and light, olive, or pine green.

Alongside these, our collection napkins coordinate directly with our patterned and plain tablecloths, including the Biarritz, Duveens, Courtauld, Orangerie, and Kensington ranges, plus styles such as Estelle and Hedsor, so matching your linen from cloth to napkin is effortless. As the UK arm of the European event-rental group Options, with dedicated depots in London and Manchester, our team can recommend the right pairing and send swatches before you book.

Renting rather than buying is a smart, modern choice for couples, planners, caterers, and venues. It removes logistical burdens, frees up budget for other priorities, and keeps your linen perfectly matched to the rest of your styling.

Cost-effective and convenient

Buying premium napkins in bulk is a significant investment once you factor in storage, laundering, ironing, and replacing stained or worn pieces. Hiring removes those hidden costs: you pay only for what you need, when you need it, and receive linen that has already been cleaned and pressed. There is no ironing the night before, no scrambling for matching replacements, and no warehouse full of crumpled fabric. You book, receive, use, and return, we handle the rest.

The service scales effortlessly. Whether your guest list is fifteen or fifteen hundred, we adapt to your numbers, your venue layout, and your timeline. For caterers and event professionals juggling multiple bookings, hiring napkins from a trusted supplier removes a major operational headache and frees your team to focus on service and presentation.

Eco-friendly option

Sustainability matters more than ever, and reusable napkins hire is one of the most environmentally responsible choices for an event. Disposable paper napkins generate large volumes of single-use waste. Reusable fabric napkins, professionally laundered and circulated across hundreds of events, cut that footprint sharply while delivering a far more refined look. Hiring supports a circular model built on longevity and careful maintenance, without compromising on elegance.

As the UK arm of the European event-rental group Options, Options Greathire pairs an extensive, fully coordinated linen collection with the logistics of a specialist hire company. When you book your napkins with us, you get:

• Two UK depots, London (Feltham, TW14 0RX) and Manchester (Altrincham, WA14 5EW), for fast, reliable delivery and collection across the country
• Napkins designed to match our tablecloths, so your tablescape is cohesive from cloth to napkin
• In-house laundering, stain-treatment, and pressing before every booking, linen arrives crisp and ready to use
• Expert styling advice and swatches before you commit, so colours and collections are confirmed in advance
• Flexible quantities, with no minimum order, from intimate dinners to events for several hundred guests
• Over 20 years serving UK weddings, venues, and caterers, with over events dressed each year

Operating from two strategic hubs, our London depot in Feltham (TW14 0RX) and our Manchester depot in Altrincham (WA14 5EW), Options Greathire provides reliable napkins hire in London and Manchester and across the surrounding regions. From city-centre hotels and historic ballrooms to countryside marquees, warehouse venues, and private residences, our logistics team coordinates timings precisely with your venue and event manager.

Every napkin is laundered, stain-treated, and pressed in-house before dispatch, and timing is critical on the day, so our delivery and collection service is built around punctuality, careful handling, and clear communication. Whether you need linen for a single evening or a multi-day event, we make sure your napkins arrive in pristine condition and are collected efficiently afterwards, leaving you free to focus on your guests.

We offer 29 napkin references designed to coordinate with our tablecloth collections. This includes our signature Scallop napkins, scalloped-edge napkins with contrast stitching in beige or white bases, and collection napkins that match our patterned and plain ranges, such as Biarritz, Duveens, Courtauld, Orangerie, and Kensington. Our team can help you match napkins to your chosen tablecloth and send swatches in advance.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for weddings and large-scale events. Three to six months in advance is ideal during peak season (May to September and December), as popular colours and fabrics can be in high demand. For smaller private events, a few weeks' notice is usually sufficient, but earlier bookings always give you access to the widest choice of styles and quantities.

Significant damage such as burns, tears, or permanent staining may incur a replacement fee, which is clearly outlined in your hire agreement so you always know where you stand before the event begins.
