Source commercial grade banqueting tables hire for corporate events and weddings. View live stock levels and book online with no security deposit.
Organise a formal dinner, wedding reception, or corporate event with commercial grade furniture. You need a practical surface for guests to dine and interact. Banqueting tables provide the core seating and display infrastructure for these occasions, allowing you to configure event spaces with either round or rectangular layouts. Event professionals source banqueting tables hire from Expo Hire to gain a consistent standard for their functions. Every order includes our free minor damage waiver, protecting you against accidental scratches or marks.
Round models promote guest conversation at social dining events and award ceremonies. They come in two standard diameters. The 5ft round tables measure 1.52 metres across and seat 8 to 10 people. A 6ft round table suits larger groups or formal venues, spanning 1.83 metres to accommodate 10 to 12 guests. These dimensions provide room for place settings, centrepieces, and shared dishes. Consider the overall room dimensions and the number of guests when planning your layout, as round tables require more floor space per person than rectangular options.
Rectangular trestle tables adapt to different event requirements. You can use them as top tables for bridal parties, buffet stations, or exhibition displays. Event organisers select rectangular models in 6ft and 8ft sizes. The 6ft trestle table measures 1.83 metres in length and 0.76 metres in width, seating 6 people with three per side. For greater capacity, the 8ft trestle table spans 2.44 metres long by 0.76 metres across. This larger unit seats 8 people, four per side. Both trestle types stand 0.74 metres high, matching standard dining height.
Your choice between round and rectangular formats depends on your event requirements and the available venue space. Round tables encourage a communal dining atmosphere, working well for banquets where guests interact. They create a softer, traditional aesthetic. Trestle tables provide clean lines, working well for formal rows, long top tables, or distinct buffet lines. Their linear form maximises guest seating in long halls or presents food and merchandise. Pair these units with matching chair hire to complete your setup.
Expo Hire supplies tables featuring strong plywood tops with sturdy folding steel legs. The plywood surface provides a stable, durable foundation for event displays and dining. The folding leg mechanism allows rapid transport and storage, facilitating fast setup and breakdown at your venue. We stock items from the commercial grade EventPro® range, which our in-house team designs specifically for the hire trade rather than retail use. We calculate delivery from £40 ex-VAT by road distance from your nearest depot, and you can track your driver live via SMS on the day.
For a polished appearance, you cover these surfaces with cloths. For 5ft round tables, a 90-inch round tablecloth achieves a floor-length drop. For 6ft round tables, you need a 108-inch round tablecloth. For rectangular trestle tables, 70x108-inch cloths fit the 6ft tables, while 70x144-inch versions cover the 8ft tables. Complement your banqueting tables hire with linen hire to create a coordinated look for your event décor. Prices and live stock levels show directly on the site.
