Chiavari Chair (Bamboo Chair) Hire

The Chiavari chair (Bamboo Chair) is the most popular wedding chair in the UK — and for good reason. Its elegant spindle back and lightweight frame work in any venue, from stately homes to city lofts. Available in gold, silver, white, and limewash, with a choice of cushion colours to match your exact palette.

Cross-Back Chair Hire

The Cross-Back chair is the defining choice for barn, marquee, and outdoor weddings. Its natural solid wood construction pairs beautifully with trestle tables and rustic linen, creating a relaxed yet sophisticated atmosphere. One of our most-hired wedding chair styles.

Louis Chair Hire

The Louis chair brings a refined, contemporary-classic elegance to wedding receptions. Its iconic silhouette in white lacquer suits modern city venues, hotel ballrooms, and chic destination weddings. Available with padded seat in ivory or champagne.

Hire Stools for Your Wedding

Bar stools are an essential part of any wedding drinks reception. Pair them with our poseur tables to create stylish cocktail zones around the dance floor, at the entrance, or in a dedicated bar area. Our wedding stool hire collection ranges from sleek contemporary designs to statement gold and industrial finishes — ensuring your cocktail hour looks as polished as the rest of your day.

All our bar stools are designed to coordinate with our poseur table collection. Ask about our cocktail zone packages — stool hire, poseur tables, and bar hire in one quote.

Wedding Bench Hire — Ceremony Seating & Rustic Receptions

Benches bring a relaxed, organic beauty to wedding ceremonies and rustic receptions.

Our wedding bench hire collection includes solid wood ceremony benches and upholstered banquette options for lounge and cocktail areas. Mix with our Cross-Back chair hire and trestle tables for a fully coordinated rustic look.

Wedding Chair Hire — Frequently Asked Questions

How many chairs do I need for my wedding?

As a general rule, you need one chair per guest for the ceremony, and one chair per guest for the wedding breakfast. If your ceremony and reception are in the same space, the same chairs can be repositioned — our team can advise on the logistics. For cocktail areas, allow one bar stool for every 3–4 guests standing.

Can I hire Chiavari chairs (Bamboo Chair) with different cushion colours?

Yes. Our Chiavari chairs (Bamboo Chair) are available with interchangeable cushion colours including ivory, champagne, blush, white, and more. Simply specify your preferred cushion colour when submitting your quote request and our team will confirm availability.

Do you deliver and set up wedding chairs at the venue?

Yes — delivery, setup, and post-event collection are all included in our wedding chair hire service. Our team will deliver to your venue at the agreed time, set up every chair in position, and return to collect everything cleanly after your event. You don't need to lift a finger.

What is the minimum order for wedding chair hire?

Minimum order quantities vary by product. For Chiavari chairs (Bamboo Chair), the minimum hire is typically 20 chairs. Contact our team or submit a quote request and we will confirm the minimum order for your chosen style

How far in advance should I book wedding chair hire?

We recommend booking as early as possible — ideally 6 to 12 months before your wedding date for peak season weekends (May to September). That said, we always do our best to accommodate last-minute requests, so contact us even if your date is close. Call 0208 481 9892 for urgent enquiries.
