Choose the right linen for the event

Tablecloths set the base colour in the room. Napkins finish each place setting. Chair covers clean up mixed venue seating, and kitchen cloths keep service moving behind the scenes. Most clients keep guest tables in white or ivory, then add black, burgundy, gold or navy on service tables, top tables or accent pieces.

If you are dressing a wedding breakfast, start with the dining tables and top table, then add napkins, runners and chair covers to carry the scheme through the room. For conferences and exhibitions, fitted tablecloths work well on registration desks, poseur tables and sponsor counters.

Wedding linen hire

Wedding venues usually need a clean mix of guest-table cloths, top-table linen, napkins and chair covers delivered together. Expo Hire supplies all linen clean and pressed, ready for setup at the venue. Chiavari chair covers are available in white and black, and 22" napkins are stocked in colours that suit formal dining.

Large wedding orders often pair linen with banqueting table hire, wedding chair hire, crockery and cutlery so the full table setup arrives in one delivery.

Delivery, return and care

All linen arrives laundered and packed for service. You do not need to wash any item before return. Keep used linen dry, bag it after the event and return it in the laundry bags supplied. Delivery is available across England and Wales, with morning or afternoon slots to match venue access.

Standard hire runs across delivery day, event day and collection day. If you need extended hire, the basket shows the extra daily rate before you pay.
