Why Hire Wedding Furniture?

Buying furniture for a one-off event like a wedding is definitely not practical. The costs, logistics, and storage can be overwhelming and also has an environmental impact. Hiring furniture gives you access to high-quality, stylish pieces tailored to your theme. It is budget-friendly, eco-friendly and hassle-free.

 

The Process: From Dream to Delivery

1. Consultation and Planning

Every great wedding starts with a vision. There are many hire companies in Sydney that offers immersive consultations to help you visualise your setup and select the perfect pieces for your venue and style. This is the stage where you communicate your needs, from the number of guests to your colour palette and must-have statement pieces.

2. Curating the Collection

Sydney’s top providers source a vast range of furniture, from classic white chairs such as the White Tiffany Chairs and king tables to luxe lounges, bar stools and custom bridal tables. You can hire everything from the essentials like dining chairs and tables to unique decor such as floral stands and backdrops. Many companies offers full room transformations and even custom builds to match your exact vision.

3. Booking and Logistics

Once you’ve chosen your pieces, the booking process is straightforward. At Luxe Hire, once your enquiry has been sent to us, you will receive a transparent quote that includes delivery, setup and collection costs – there are no hidden costs at Luxe Hire. It is highly recommended to book early, especially items like dining chairs and statement bars, as wedding season weekends fill up fast. 

4. Deliver, Setup and Styling

At Luxe Hire, we have a team that handles all the logistics: coordinating delivery times, setting up each piece according to your floor plan, and styling the space to perfection. Delivery is usually scheduled the day before or day of event prior to your event time – of course we allow adequate amount of time for setup. Pick up is typically done the next day or the following day after. This ensures everything is ready well before guests arrive, and you don’t have to lift a finger. 

5. After the Event

Once the celebration is over, the hire team returns to pack up and collect the furniture. If anything goes missing or is damaged beyond normal wear and tear, most companies will charge a replacement or cleaning fee as outlined in your client agreement.
